We don't have any more homework for the rest of the term. Friday 28th October Great first week back from the holidays and since we got Monday off for Labour weekend we don't have any homework seeing it's a short week. For PE this week we're doing relays. Tuesday 6th Augus t Yesterday my team won the PALS soccer tournament!!! 4-2 so now we get to play the teachers on Wednesday. For maths at the moment we are doing word problems and finding the percentages. For example there are twenty four boys in the class and sixteen girls what is the percentage of boys. First you add twenty four and sixteen to make forty then your find a common factor like two so you divide twenty four and sixteen by two which gives you twelve over twenty and eight over twenty then you times everything by five because five times twenty equals one hundred and the boys percentage is sixty percent which means the girls percentage is forty percent. Tuesday 29th August Today we have a soccer tournament game at school which the PAL'S (physical activity leaders) are running there is a year 5&6 and 3&4 competition and the team that wins the competition gets to play the teachers. Today we did a quick write about persuasive arguments were we used the mimio to highlight facts and opinions. Wednesday 24th August Great day today this is the third great day in a row and it is been very hot. Today we're going to skype room1 at Stoke school in Nelson because Mr Kemp's mum teaches that class. Last time we skyped them they gave us some questions and we are going to share our answers tommorrow. Tuesday 23rd August Today we are learning something new in maths. We are learning to add four or three digit decimals for example 49.88+ what =72.4 first you add 0.12 onto the the 49.88 to make it 50.00 then you add 22.4 to get to to 72.4 then you add 0.12 back onto the 22.4 to make 22.52. We have a new student teacher called Mr Eaton who will be with us for the rest of the year. But he only comes in Mondays and Tuesdays. Tuesday 2nd August First week back from the holidays and we have an awesome new topic about the rugby world cup and organising big events. For reading and writing we are doing persuasive writing and for maths we are doing fractions and decimals. We also have a new class book called hatchet. Mr Kemp just got back from holiday so he hadn't organised any homework. today I had an ICAS english exam. Monday 13th June For homework last week we had to make a wanted poster for who broke into our dental clinic. We had to add known facts or a description. Also last week I had an ICAS science exam. We had to do 45 questions in a time span of 30 minutes. I get my results back in a month. Week 3 Term 2 This week we learnt how to fingerprint with Constables Rei and Lou. First we put our fingerprint on the window then we dusted it with a special powder and it outlined all the lines so it was very clear. Then we got some sticky plastic. We peeled off the non sticky side, put the sticky side on the glass where it showed up on the plastic and we put the non sticky side back on to protect the fingerprint. On Friday we went on a school trip to the Dunedin Police station. We got to see the cars, all the equipment in the cars, the photographers, the people that watch the Cctv cameras and the fingerprinter. We went to the cells and finally we went to the Police gym to play some ball games. Friday 13th May Today we got to see the first look at the photos from inside the dental clinic (that got broken into in the holidays). It was very obvious that someone had broken in because there was spilled paint, footprints, ripped chairs, and lots of spilt and ripped paper. We also got our mimio working today (interactive white board). There is a little pen and you just touch the white board and it moves if you drag it. My name is Harrison I'm 9 years old at school I'm year5.One of my favourite things to do is to play on my on my nintendo wii my favourite sports are soccer and cricket.

Mr K gave us some names and what personality they had and we had to describe them while telling the story. Monday 9th of May Today we did diary writing where you write three paragraphs of about what you did in the weekend. We also did our weekly spelling testing to determine what words we would have for homework this week. Later on in the afternoon we had to do a true or false card match up where we got a piece of paper and some cards and we had to decide which were true and which were false. Friday 6th of May Today we shared our homework. We had two things to do. One was to get a news article off Kiwikids news and we had to learn some things about forensic science as it helps our inquiry about solving mysteries. Today I also got to hand out pieces of paper to decide what order the assembely would run in. Thursday 5th of May Hello my name is Harrison I am nine years old. Today we started planning what would be in a great mystery by doing a quick write. Mr K gave us a setting and two characters we had to write the rest and leave the reader in suspense. At school at the moment we are learning about fractions Mr Kemp gives us questions on fraction Friday that helps us learn about fractions we play fraction match a game where you say a question and the person with the answer on there card stands up and says the next question it goes on until you get back to the start. for maths i am learning the tidy tens strategy it's really easy once you get the hang of it. Last week we finished Holes a really exciting book that we have been reading since the start of the term.(Mr K kept stopping at the exciting part). Third day back from school holidays new writing and maths topic for writing we are doing mysteries we've started a new book called small steps the book after holes the book we were reading last term.

Tuesday 6th December My Bungy Jumping Story I can feel my adrenalin rushing as I step onto the small black board "it looks a long way down" I said. Underneath me the sparkling yet freezing water lies as still as glass. The instructor says "hurry up we haven't got all day" and I jump for three rushing seconds I was in mid air then BANG!!! my arms and head splash down into the freezing water and I surfaced from underneath the water gasping for breath and slowly feel myself getting pulled up. When I'm at the top I quietly mutter to myself " I'm never doing that again" THE END. media type="custom" key="8355336"media type="custom" key="11201226"
