Today we started off with the run,then we read and looked at an article about Emmy Noether's 133rd birthday,she was a mathematician.

Then we started of with maths and mrs Roberts put a number on the board and we had to tell our neighbour what it is,and she was also saying what would it be if you added such and such numbers what it would be and why you were right and also saying how many 10 dollar notes it could go in.

Then we got into our maths group

After our maths we had morning tea.

After morning tea it was silent reading,then we did our plays,because by the end of the day we need to present it to the class.

This play is from Tilly's group.

Then after 20 minutes we went to Paua class.And a lady was there to talk to us about dog a and dogsafety and how you could take care of your dog and how you can stay comfortable around dogs and spotting if they are a good dog owner or not.

They were also talking about what has happened to the dog by looking at some pictures and we, watched and the video was about kids trying to touch dogs when it was on it's own and a dog was. singing a message that everyone should do and it was" if a dogs on it's own leave it alone",

Then the lady was saying what you should do in situations of a dog comes up to you what you should do.when it doesn't look friendly and you don't know it.and did you know it is best to pat their chest.We looked at dangers off what you shouldn't , and should do with dogs she asked us should you this or that and we would reply yes or no.the dog was really clever at doing tricks it tried to do a handstand.the dog was called punch the big dog,and he was 5 years old.

The small dog was saydey and she was 8 years old.

Then that was the end of the presentation at the end we had some questions.

And then we went back to class

And we had a look at a map of Europe when it was the First World War and about the trenches and we were looking at it because of a new book we were going to read and we are going to read because it is nearly Anzac Day and mrs Roberts said this year Thay are celebrating 100 years this year and trenches were holes in the ground made from mud sticks and twigs and they would stay in it to stay safe from getting shot.

Then it was lunch time
