This week we did a poem about Simieis. Simlieis are like a colour I chose the colour green because it is my favourite colour here is my poem.

Green like grass

Green as a cheeky kea

Green Like greenstone

Green as an old tuatara 

As green as a juicy Pickle

As green as Shrek the Ogre

Since I have been back from being sick I have managed to do all my Math Whizz progressions and I have 8/10 parts of my Steps Web Spelling Completed.

I also have the part of the Hero, John, in our school production.

Do you Think We have been Busy?

Me and Kobe and Max went crystal hunting in the sandpit and it was fun.

Today we did a peom. My peom was about blue. With a similies peom you need to start with as or like.

Today we wrote a poem about colours.  The type of poem was called a similie poem.  I chose the colour yellow to write about.  We had to use is, like, or, as to compare it with something.  Thats what makes it a similie poem.  We got to say one of our best lines.  I think mine was Yellow like the mixed sunset in the mornning.  I had heaps of fun writing the poem.

Have you ever wrote a poem before?

Have you ever wrote a similes poem before?

This year and me some other people went up to Greymouth for a chess tournament. We had seven games I won 4.5 and lost 2.5 there where four people that got bronze medals including me we also qualified for a chess finals in Auckland. It was really fun doing all the challenges and playing chess.

Do you think you would win?

A few day ago we had a police officer come in and talked about abuse. The different types of abuse are sexual abuse, physical abuse,, cyber abuse and verbal abuse emotional abuse and neglect abuse.

We have also been doing old fashioned maths with pencil and paper and long division and multiplication.  I have liked it a lot.

We are also doing a Show called bring on the Baked Beans.

Do you think this is a busy week or just a normal week?

This week we have been doing a lot of stuff.  First, we did Keeping ourselves Safe with Constable Paul. We learned about abuse and who we should report it to.  We have also done some with Mr Abbott. We talked about keeping ourselves safe online, what we should do if we see bullying and experience it.  We have done maths with rulers and measuring. For science we were looking at planes and things that fly and why. We found out that things that fly have 4 forces,  Gravity,  Thrust, drag, lift.    We are also writing a junior ebook story for the junior school.

We are also doing our Show,  “Bring on the Baked Beans.”  Do you think we are too busy?

Over the last couple of weeks we have been practising a show called  “Bring on the Baked Beans.”     We are doing it in September.

Also at school this week, we have done Science.  We are looking at Flight.  I have learned that there are four fources, Lift, drag, thrust and gravity.  All four are needed for something to fly.
