Today this morning in Ruru we started doing jump jam then roll. After we did a maths sheet we were timed on it. Most of Ruru had improved, which is good news and after,it was time for the problem solvers to go. Once they left we did our book review, we started deciding which book we would do it on. We thought maybe Hatchet but we have not finished that so we did Once. The one we read before Best Mate.Once was about World War Two and a boy named Felix and a girl named Zelda. Felix  was a Jewish person, he would write stories by himself in his book and a kind man looked after them named Barney, he was a dentist. On the story there were no pictures only the front cover had a picture.So we worked with that.we also did what we loved about the book and what we wondered and how many stars we would give it. We loved that Felix cared for Zelda,  it has lots of description the feelings and we also liked that Zelda kept saying "don't you know anything!" We were given this sheet to do it on

   Then a bell rang and Mrs Olds came into our class.She is one of the other teachers a very kind teacher she read to us The Breman-Town Musicians. it was quite funny I could not help have a little silent giggle .then she talked about how there were more books of it and ways you could deal with your pets when they were too old and never to be a robber because a robber was sent to check the house the animals were in and because he was a robber he got badly hurt by the animals. Then the bell rang and we went to morning tea to eat and play. After morning tea we began to read silently on our tables.

   After reading we were asked by Mrs Roberts to quickly come down to the mat and we were told which class we were going to go to with Puekeko and Tui. I was told to go to Tui today with the teacher Mrs Frankin we are doing Dinosaurs today. We have to draw our favourite dinosaur. we had to find a fact about dinosaurs and draw our favourite dinosaur.first in pencil,  then crayon. then we colour it with dye and then went and let them dry, to take home next time. After that we came back to our classes. Now we are doing connective work. connectives are when you join two sentences together to further explain an idea, to make a point, to give examples, to show  effects, or to add extra information. all of those are connectives.We did some on the board in the class room then we talked about being responsible and doing the right thing because our class is the class with the big kids.we are the roll models so we have to be responsible and reliable. After that we carried on with connectives.we said some connectives to the class and there were 13 slides on the computer of connectives and how to use them. This is a picture of some connectives.

 After we had to do some sheets of connectives then the bell rang and we went to eat our lunch yummy. After lunch we did the roll, after we  had Tilly who was in America for a little holiday and she showed us some stuff and she said we could have a pencil and a lolly at home time. I found it very generious of Tilly.  After we started our  Book Jackets from a story we read which was about a book and a little girl and a dog. In the middle of making book jackets the kapa haka people had to leave. after we finished our book jackets we had to make a title and front cover and colour it in at the end. I could see lots of fabulous book jackets.then a bell rang and we had to read a book. then we had to tidy the class room and put up the chairs and then sit on the mat. then the class said what they did in the week end and after that Tilly gave us a a lolly each thank you Tilly and then we went home.
