Term 2

This term we have been learning a lot of things in ruma Piwakwaka. We have been learning a song called E tu tangata with a lady called Rachel. It had a rap in it. I think it was hard and fun. We have also been doing persuasive writing. About Matariki on should it or shouldn't be a public holiday. I said it shouldn't because it would cause businesses more wages. 

We have also been doing place value in maths with Mrs Hickford. It was a little bit hard but I liked it. We have also done PE with Naomi. We have been learning about soccer. We played Simon says and we have been playing tidy your room. We have also been doing scruplt gl. We had to make a creepy alien I made one that was not that scary but funny. We have been doing kahoot we did maths and animal one the maths ones were really hard but I did my best. we have been doing google music lab were you have to beats it was really fun. We also made flax boats for our sausages is was really good my flax boat could properly hold 3 sausages. We were also taught by a health nurse how to sneeze into your elbow and cough into you elbow.  Matariki happened this term and we did some art and  it was so pretty when it was finished.
