I got a tiny badge that the team was handing out to the people that were at the front that was cool, it is a puma, which is what their team is called, the Pumas. After that we went to the pet shop to look at the puppies they are soooo cute. We went to get some food to have at the park and we saw some people filming something I don't know what, but it wasn't anything big, it was just 4 people filming something. We went home and went on the computer, Skyped some friends, then I went on We are room 1 and updated my page. Here are some photos from the Town Hall.

*Roll *GLP *Notices Maths * 10 quick questions * Rocket *Groups *Creative dance Morning tea *Handwriting & spelling books *Quick write *Reading groups *Ruma Tahi Rocket (we don't know what this is, Mr E is going to teach us) Lunch *Silent reading

Art!!! Last week Room1 and Room 7 had an Assembly. Room 1 shared some flags that we drew ourselves. My one took a long time to do. But I think it is awesome.

I hope you like it Flying The Flag In reading Mr Kemp made each reading group read a book called Flying The Flag. It was trying to persuade people to change the New Zealand flag. In the book there was an activity for you to design the pattern and colours for your ideal NZ flag. I did a fern that is made out of Koru's because it represents the Maori culture and the fern is found in the bush in NZ. I did the Sothern Cross because we can see them in the night sky in New Zealand, a Kiwi because it is the native bird of New Zealand, and I did a Union Jack (but I did the colours the wrong way around!). These things stand for our history, the plants, the sky, the birds and animals and the green stands for the land.

Writing!!!! We are learning to persuade someone to do something we might like them to do. For homework last week Mr Kemp asked us to try and persuade him to have a shared lunch. In writing we have a discoveries chart to write down the good things, the bad and the interesting things. What I have learnt: *To have a strong start. *Two different opinions. *Have strong words. *Make your side the best side to go with. *Use persusive words (e.g. sharp, uncomforble, sore, unsafe and broken.) *Use true facts (e.g. I have been cut many times from these chairs.) *Have a good reading size. *Don't make it go on and on, make it short and interesting.
