This book won the Newberry Medal.

In this story so far the people of the island of the blue dolphins have fought against the English for the loot and have lost most of their troops.

They got into war because they killed all of the sea otters, the people of the island of the blue dolphins were supposed to get half of the otters but the English stole all of the otter and then war broke out.

T2 fractions

Fractions, fractions, fractions! Recently in maths we have been learning about fractions. The teachers ran many different fractions workshops and each time I went to one, I had to get my passport stamped or signed. One workshop that I attended was ratios workshop.

Reading T2

 This term I have been learning a range of different texts. I have been learning to find information in the text when I read. My favourite text that I have read is called flood and it was about a flood that destroyed there house.

T2 maths

Earlier in the term we were learning about multiplication and division. A strategy I learnt was to split the equation up. This strategy helps me to do big multiplication problems.

T2 value

Responsibility This term our value is responsibility.

T2 persuasive writing

We have been learning to write persuasive texts. To do this, We had to use our words to convince someone to believe something. Here is an example of my writing. I tried to persuade adults with babies to stop dumping nappies. 

 STOP DUMPING RUBBISH!! To People with young children and babies, Please stop dumping nappies because… 1 It hurts the environment, for example we went to the Waitangi wetlands a few weeks ago and found over thirty bags of rubbish, the wetlands were filled with rubbish, the rubbish could destroy the trees and we wouldn't be able to breathe. 2 The fish could choke on the nappies and die if you throw the nappies in the river or the poo could poison them and we would have no fish left in the rivers. 3 People could step on the nappies and have really dirty shoes and have to throw them in the rubbish and they would be very angry and disappointed. And that's why I believe that you should stop dumping rubbish. 

T2 netball

 In Netball we have been learning to shoot, balance and pass. The skill I have most improved on is shooting. To learn this skill I had to practice by playing a game.

Whenever he is at school he is a Super Nova about to explode with ideas.

L

Flat Stanley We made this because we are reading a novel based on a boy that got hit with a notice board and turned flat! We made a flat person that is coloured in and cut out and then we mailed it to someone you know in Hawkes bay. I am expecting 4 or 5 photos with the person I sent to.

Swimming T1

For P.E in term 1 we have been working on our swimming skills. I am in the seals group my learning goals are: tread water for 2 minutes, do a standard dive, swim one length breaststroke and swim a three length medley.

I find treading water the hardest because I can't keep my head above the water. And my favourite stroke is freestyle.
