= Sabrina's COOL page!!! = Hello, I am Sabrina. I like animals but my favourite ones are monkeys and mice. My favourite colour is lime green and red. I like Room 1 because it's exciting and fun.I like monkeys because they are cheeky. I like mice because they are easy to take care of as a pet. I am from Malaysia. My best friend is Claire. This second term, Room 1 is focussing on "mini beasts". The COOLEST thing is that some are SOOO interesting but most of them are SOO Gross and disgusting!!!!!!! Here are some mini beasts that we did in our A-Z list!!! Ants, Earwig, Beetles, Fly, Flea and Slugs. Uuurghh!!! We have also been halving and doubling in maths - including our Addition sums, subtraction, multiplication tables, tidy numbers and division. We've been thinking creatively with our creative thinking books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In our writing, we've been doing some AWESOME report writing!!!!!!! We were writing some key words about baboons. Here's some COOL facts: Baboons eat nuts, fruits and other small animals. Baboons are strong monkeys. Young baboons chase and fight with each other. COOL!!!!!!!!!!!! We have to do LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of practising with our multiplication tables and division!!!!!!!!!!!! COOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We went to the Museum yesterday as well !Biggest beetle is Goliath beetle. NZ's biggest beetle is the Huhu beetle. Huhu beetles taste like peanut butter. YUCK!!! The biggest stick insect is found in Fiji !!

We have been concentrating on netball for PE. We are called "The Chocolate Cheetahs". We combined the boys' ides with the girls' ideas. We have been practising our positions; I am GD (Goal Defence). We have been talking about clues, such as, stepping, going in our correct positions (for example; C - centre is allowed to go anywhere; except in the circles). We are going to start our tornaments next week, hopefully, if the weather is good. I play netball, myself. Lauren is our coach. She is a very good coach. She doesn't tell us off much.

It's Term 3 today!! This week we will be concentrating on photography, gymnastics and our inquiry topic is school fair. We have so far had a senior "Gym" sports rotation. My goals for this term, is to concentrate and be on task, get at least 2 or 3 ticks beside my name on the cash flow list every day and to have a confident, loud voice and speak in front of the class and to others more often.

Last term, in Term 2, we had an "inquiry" sharing Day. The senior classes, Room 1 (us), 2, 3 & 4, did it, too. We went to their classes and they came to ours and we had a good look and asked sensible questions. Here are some COOL photos of that day.



TERM 3!!!!!!

This term, Miss VB has starting to teach us for a week. She has been reading a book with very unhappy beginnings and endings. She also introduced us to some argument writing. We learned that in the beginning of an argument writing, there is a hook, which is picking up the audience's attention. This week is practise Matheletics week and we have used the laptops to do the website.

We've also had a Social Studies Quiz from the Extra. My total score is 27 and we did faces, countries and many others. In the home page there is a game where you have four options of countries and flags. Check it out! It will also help Mr. Kemp chose the teams for the Social Study Quiz!!!!! It's been very fun.

It's term Four NOW!!!!! We had our school fair on Sunday 20th September. We raised up to 30 thousand dollars. WOW!! I had a job of painting nails for first half and then I sold bath bombs we made with Ms. VB. Mr Kemp has set up a spellathon for us. We've had some sponsors. Every time we get a word right they pay us money. So far I have three sponsors: my mum, my dad and Rebecca. I had about two or three words wrong. OH WELL!! Our inquiry topic is why is Asia important? I AM from Asia. (I'm from Malaysia, which is Malaysia).

It's camp SOON! in week 5. I can't wait. I am looking forward to it - and I hope I'm in the same cabin as my friends. It sounds exciting. Mr Kemp said we'd be focusing on camp in week 3 or week4 because camp is in Week5. CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

Tuesday 13th October 2009 Yesterday we did athletics. My favourite was sprints (although I'm not that good). I didn't really like long jump because of the wet sand. It got stuck on my feet. I also liked high jump but I didn't really jump it. It was fun though. We did sprints first, then long jump, high jump then shot put and discuss. Shot put balls are really heavy. I lost my spellathon sheet but Mr Kemp gave new ones to us.

Today, in athletics, we started to do relays. I was in a group with Claire, Rebecca and Gabi. I'm not a very good runner and we always came last. I liked the relays though. So far I'm in none of the south zone sports. Today, we have been doing some multiplication on the computer. You can check it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!
