Senior Choir

Today I headed to the music room at 8:45 for senior choir.  First we did our regular warm ups.  Then we did the roll so the teachers know that we are there.  Next we learnt to sing Mexican Wave for the Christchurch Music Festival.  Mexican wave is about a cricket match.  After that we ran through hallelujah a couple of times then Choir had to stop because it was 9:30 and the yrs 5/6 had to go to Te Reo.  I showed leadership by being resilient when we were singing Mexican wave because it was challenging.

Maths week 8 term 2

In maths we have been focusing on fractions and place value.  My goal is to explain the digits in whole numbers.  My activity is to find the face, place and total of a number.  My next step is to spread my work out so people can see it better.  Here is my work on the top left of the page.

Reading week 8 term 2

Here is my reading for week 8.  My goal is to explore the authors purpose.  First we do our prediction sheet to predict what the story is going to be about ( top left).  Next we read the story in our head and then aloud. Then we do a vocabulary sheet to write down the technical and unfamiliar words in the story.  After that we do a summery sheet so if someone reads it the know what the story is about.  All of that is called our before activity which we do on Monday.  After our before is done we do our must dos or our teacher follow up.  For must dos we had to do a article about a glass bridge and answer some questions and then a reading comprehension sheet about hypens (top right). Our follow up was about writing a made up story about a road sign and what it ment ( bottom right).  

Technology at Lincoln

Today we arrived at school at 8:15 because we had technology at Lincoln. Once we got there we went to our new classroom because we only have 7 weeks in each class so I am now in design.  Today in design we learnt about safety and also started planning for our dream room.  For my dream room I am doing a indoor sport centre with Ryan.  I showed leadership by talking to the person next to me on the bus so the noise level did not distract the bus driver.

Senior Choir

Today at 8:45 i headed to the music room for Senior Choir.  When we got there, there were only yr4s and Mr McCallum.  Mr McCallum was teaching some yr 7/8 girls how to play hallelujah on their Guitar.   After everyone got there we did the roll and then went through hallelujah.  Next we tried to sing a little bit of Poi e and Mexican wave.  I showed leadership by being in the right place at the right time.
