This term We have been doing graphs. We had to think of a question and then ask everyone in the class, With the data we retrieved from asking everyone we made two graphs. Cola is the favorite by 5 people. Mountain dew and fanta had the least amount of likes both with 2 people liking them.

Wearable arts 2017

For the past 9 weeks we have been creating our costumes for wearable arts. Wearable arts is when you pick a festival and create a costume dedicated to that festival. Me, Cleo and Emma made our costume about the cherry blossom festival. The cherry blossom festival we based ours on is in america ( there are two of the one is in japan). Japan sent over thousands of cherry blossom trees in 1912 as a peace offering. We have 2 parts two our dress it is a skirt and a top. The skirt is made by individually  plaiting strips of newspaper. This took a long time to do because it takes a bit too make one plait and this costume has a lot of the plaits. There are also origami paper cherry blossoms. We put these on the skirt they kind of look like vines. The top is ironed plastic bags paper mache. We then pained it white. The back has an open back with pink ribbon lacing it up. Emma also made a beautiful flower crown out of real flowers. She is going to make another one because the one in the photos have died.  Everything went well but sometimes it didn't go so well because they kept painting the top again and again when we didn't need to but we sorted it all out. I am the model and that means when we do the show i'm wearing the costume.  



 

Post card

This week I finished one of my activities for topic/literacy it was a post card to a soldier.

Hey its mum.We  have been very worried about you because we haven't got a letter back in a while. We found our ration book, it was behind the desk. We were living on practically nothing for a week.  The ration does not seem like enough for all of us. I really regret having 12 babies. We made anzac biscuits this morning. They aren't like the biscuits we used to make but they will do.  We heard that they will last a while so we are going to make another batch soon with the things we had before the war. Some of the people down the street have been robbed. The robbers always take the ration book and the food they already had. (Maybe it’s us…) Hope everything is well over there. Just make sure you watch out ok?

Love mum

P.S I’m not entirely sure which son I’m sending it to and where you are.. I really shouldn’t have had 12 kids!

Maths Maintenance

For one of our Maths rotations we have to complete Maths Maintenance. We do this during independent learning time and here is a copy of the ones I completed this week. I think they are fun!

My timeline for literacy

I made a timeline of a couple of disasters from the 1900's. We are doing NZ disasters for literacy and topic. I find it really interesting to research - especially the 90's as it gets Miss Hines very excited about the food that she misses!
