Year 5 with Ms McGrath

 Hey bloggers,

On Monday all the Year fives were at school while the Year 6s went on a trip. First we were talking about the well being survey and it was quiet because all of the Year 6s are gone. So we talked about the survey . 

Then we walked around till Ms McGrath stopped the music and had to say 3 things that we are grateful for today, but I could hardly hear the music so we stopped some times waiting for all the kids to stop talking. 

After we did a compliment circle and it was noticing something good about someone else other then your friends. T

hen we were learning how to make a fortune teller or chatter box. It was hard when we started because we had to make it out card board which made it even harder, I was getting confused because it was hard. I was following but when I was done we had to put are fingers through the holes and I had trouble moving them. Soon we had to colour them. I waited a long time because so much kids were grabbing colour pencils. I choose red, green, yellow and blue. I found it hard  to colour because I did not know how to colour properly and there was white spots so much. After I had to chose Number or colour for the next part I choose  number then I saw someone colouring it in an easier way to colour, I had done some of the white spots. Then I  Was writing the messages on the bottom. I did some some about swimming, running, maths and reading, I had just finished before we had to stop. 

After we had morning tea we did finishing then the Year 6s came.

Anzac under the wires

Hello bloggers,

On Wednesday the teachers had a crazy idea to put strings all over the class. We had to crawl under them. It was like we were in trenches. First we had to grab our art book then crawl to our boxes, to grab a pencil, ruler and rubber. It would hurt because you would get carpet burn. After that we had the basic facts test they would play missiles exploding and guns firing and  bombs. Then I saw the speaker and it was on top of the table right next to me. It was real hard doing it because it was loud. But the test looked easier. After we read a book called Roly the Donkey.  Then we did this maths thing and it had all the Wars New Zealand has been involved in.  It was like showing the Boer war, WW1, WW2, Malaya War and Vietnam War. Then we had morning tea play. After we read Le Quesnoy, The Story of the town New Zealand Saved. 

Then we did a letter and there was gunfire and exploding. Then we had a Picture Dictation and we had to draw what we thought it looked like. Next I went to the pool. After we read a book then we had to get into groups of 2 and put a blind fold on and hold onto an ice block stick and the people with out the blind fold  and had to lead them  to untie all the lines. Soon we took the blind fold off  cause it was taking to long, after we packed up and we got ready.
