All Blacks Competition

Room8 have entered a photo competition. We are supporting the All Blacks against Argentina. We pretended to be at a Stadium supporting the All Blacks. We wanted to win the competition so that we could have an All Black come to visit our class. Macs mum Mrs Winter came into our class on the photo day and brought in some props we could wear for the photo. She brought in beanies, jaclets and also two cold hot dogs cold pot of chips. These are the things you see in a crowd at the sports stadium.

Kapa haka

At kapa haka we are learning songs like papaki titaha and e honore and also toia and it is really fun. I was really enjoying it and on September the 10th we are going to the regional finals and it is going to be exciting . We
will be competing with other schools and we are doing to performances and I hope we go to the final competition.

The Peasant prince.

In room we have been reading a story called the Peasant Prince and one of the characters is Li Cunxin. He was a very poor boy and he was one of the six of the seven sons. He was only 11 when he left his village and his family and desperately never got to see them again. At the age of18 he became the best dancer in China and then he travelled to America and he came the best dancer in America.

 So, in room 8 we had to draw kites that repesented China, like dragons, blossom trees and also butterflies. We drew out the kite then practised sketching out our drawings. Then we coloured them in. They were ready to fly. My kite has a Chinese blossom tree on it.

Term 3 goals

Mrs Parahas baby!

Yesterday Mrs Paraha came to visit us at Vardon school .

Term 2 reflection.

What I liked about term 2 was that I learnt new strategies in maths. I enjoyed making the costumes for the trashion show. I am really pleased that I am getting new friends at Vardon school and I'm really use to this school because I have been  at Vardon school  for 4 months now. And I might stay here next year. My challenge was trying my best to work hard  and I'm  trying to make my thinking clear in  my writing. I still need to practise on it. I achieved my goal in  maths.Sometimes I can try and achieve it by working by myself independantly. I'm hoping to be a  year four leader next term.
