EGYPT!!!!!

What have I learned???
When we first started learning about Ancient Egypt we had to create a mind map to show how much we know and now that the topic is nearly over we have to add to our mind map the things we learned. Before, my mind map was practically empty and now that I've added to it there is barely any room to write any more. I have learned lots!

 What activities did I learn the most from???
I learned the most from the power point presentations because it had a lot of good information and the game at the end of them really helped you remember the key things. Building Ancient Egypt also helped because by building it we had to get more detailed information to learn what it looked like.

What activity did I enjoy the most???
I enjoyed building Deir El Medina the most because it was on Minecraft and it was a fun activity to do with a group.

GYMNASTICS!!!!!

Every Thursday we walk down to Nairnville to do a variety of activities. The past couple of weeks we have been focusing on gymnastics. The things that are normally set up are the air track, a small metal bar, various kinds of climbing courses, a beam or two, rings, a floor and sometimes a trampoline. my favourite part of the session is doing tumbles on the air track.

LEARNING!!!!!!

What have I learned this week???

This week I learned how to play march on on the glockenspeil.

Will I remember it???

Yes I think I will remember how to play it.

What helps me remember things that I learn???

When I read it somwhere or if I right it down.

Book groups!!!!

This term we have been doing this thing called book groups. Book groups is where you get put in a group of 5 or 6 people and the teacher assigns you a book to read. The groups meet twice a week and decide which chapter to read to. The teacher comes around to listen to the conversation and if it is good enough your aloud to bring chippies and lollies and crackers to school to eat during the meeting. The group I'm in is reading the book hatchet. So far its a really good book and really interesting. I think our group has been having good conversations and only a few times we've go off topic. I think discussing the book and asking questions is interesting because you get to see the book from other peoples point of view.

Green eggs and ham!!!!

When I was 6 or 7 I loved to read the book Green Eggs and Ham by Dr Suess. This book is about a character named Sam who tries to convince another person to eat green eggs and ham. The other character  does not want to eat them so Sam keeps trying to get him to eat them and after a while  he finally says fine I will try them. He ends up liking them a lot. I like this book because it rhymes and I like how Sam keeps trying to get the other person in the book to eat green eggs and ham.

HOLIDAYS

In the holidays we got our very first trampoline!!! I had wanted one for a really long time. I LOVE trampolines. We set up the trampoline on Saturday an d it took about 4 hours to set up. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. The trampoline we have is a jumpflex trampoline and it is 12 feet big. It is a really cool neon green colour and it came with an attachable mini basketball hoop and a ladder. I think I will go on it every day I can - rain or shine. In the holidays we also saw the Lego movie. I wasn't really looking forward to seeing it because I thought it was for boys but it actually was really good!

Mission Fair!!!

Last week was the mission fair. The mission fair is where the year 6, 7 and 8's form groups and sell stuff or do other fun things to raise money for Solomon islands. I was in a group with Siena, Mercedes, Abby, Millie, Grace, Caitlin, Sharon, Katherine and of course me. We sold a variety of stuff like sherbet, jelly, popcorn, bracelets and we also did hairspray and  face paint. something that I would do differently would be to have more people in the group that could make bracelets because I had to make all of them. the whole school raised over $1900 dollars which is $400 more dollars than last year so congratulations!
