= **//__Sam's Page__//** = Hi, I'm Sam, a year 6 student at a really cool school!!! My best friends are JamesR, Lukas, Jeremy and Taine. My favourite toy is Lego, I have heaps of it, literally!!! Three weeks ago I went to school camp for one night.The day we arrived I found a four leaf clover.The next day at camp I was rushed away in a ambulance to the hospital cos I broke my arm!!! Here is a picture of camp.This is the thing I fell off.

For spelling at school we are using two sites called [|Spelling City] and [|Kids Spell]. Another site we are learning about is [|Voice Thread], a cool free site were you can create movies. On this site we also have a lot of games.

This week we have been writing procedures. I wrote about how to perform a great card trick.Here it is.

Last year I was in a playground markings group.Here is a picture of one of the markings we saw.

Also this week we made rubrics on what makes a great classroom. Here is mine:)

Because I broke my arm I had to do lots of work on the computer. Here are a few examples:)

It is term two now (yay(haha)) and I don't have a broken arm anymore but the doctor said to be careful with it. In the holidays my family and I went to Te Anau for four niGhts. Sorry, the little G doesn't work on this computer!!!

Today I have a different computer so the little g works! Our new inquiry unit is Minibeasts.Braden and I made a minibeast out of recycling. We have been doing a lot of stuff about minibeasts in the class.This is it.

In class we have something called clock buddies. Clock buddies are a way of getting new buddies every day. Every morning before school we get a twelve,three,six and nine buddies.

In our inquiry book we stuck and paste minibeasts. Here's mine.

Yesterday we went to the museum and looked at minibeasts. Here's a picture of a rhinoceros beetle.

We have been writing reports on a minibeast we chose. I wrote mine on stick insects. You can see it on here in a while. I am making a habitat for a stick insect.This is it.

It is now term three and we have a new inquiry. Here is some pictures of our minibeast inquiry.

This our inquiry sharing day. We made lots of presentations. You might be able to see some of them if you look hard. I made one that curves inward right at the back. All the classes came in to the class at different times so we could share. Even the parents came in!!!

It is now term four and I am really looking foward to camp (or am I, considering what happend last time!). We are training for camp now and doing really fun stuff!

Last term the school had the fair. We raised heaps of money! Here are some photos of the fair:
