Te reo. Kei hea te pukapuka?

Today in Te reo/homeroom time we have been learning about how to say where is (any object) In Te reo maori. We learnt to also say where is more then one thing of the same object and where a person is. The Te reo Maori words for them is Te, Ngā, and a. We had to do a sheet what had object (In Te reo Maori) and peoples names. What we needed to do was fill in the empty spots in between the name of the object and the persons name. Once we finished we have to stick it in our progect book and yeah. I found easy was finding out what one out of Te, Ngā, and a to use and I found hard was finding out the names for the objects.

Kennings

Today in homeroom time our teacher Mrs Mcguinniety talked to us about Kennings. Kinnings is where you have two senteces that start with "A" and ends with "er". It's pretty much giving some questions but without and answer so they have to guess. Heres and ecsample for a pig "A Stink maker, A mud lover." It's pretty fun making them because we also had to do a picture so yeah. The easy part was making the picture but the hard part was finding some words. Try and figure mine out! Please comment when you do.

Timetables

Today in maths strand we have been learning about time. We had to write down a table that had places (What are real places) and Departure times. We had to figure out some questions by using to table with the times and places. One of the questions is: How long does it take to get from Leatherhead to Epsom? The answer is 5 minutes. The easy part was figuring out the answers but the hard part was making to table.

Texture

For the last few weeks in homeroom time we have been doing art. Theres seven things to art. But we did texture. Texture is pretty much a zentangle. It's where you scetch the out line of what you want to draw in or around. What is texture you ask? It's what it feels like you you think it may feel like. Before we could draw what we were going to draw in or around we had to do a sheet what has different things we had to draw. Once we finished we draw what we wanted to draw in or around and do different textures in or around. The hard part was the sheet but the easy part was drawing the texture in the first letter of my name.

Surfing at Sumner beach!

On friday the year five's and six's went to Sumner beach. We were met by some people from learn to surf. It was because we were going to be taught how to surf. We were also going to learn how to body board. We learnt what all things were on the surfboards and body boards. Once we did that we got split into our homerooms and got split again into teams. The teams were Dolphins and Seals. Mrs mcguinniety's homeroom was going to be the first ones in the water. Before we could get into the water we had to get our wet suits and then our teams would be placed in the body boarding or surfing team for the time till we had to go in. We put our wet suits on I got to be in the body boarding team. we had to put on pink vest like things. The seals put on yellow ones. We picked up a body board and the seals picked up their surf boards. We went over to the water and we started to catch some awesome waves. The water was freezing but I got over it. The easy part was getting on the board but the hard part was getting a wave because you kept tipping over the surfboard. Here are some pictures of our trip to sumner beach!
