Today we either made Advent candles or wreaths on kleki. I decided to create a wreath because it reminds me of a circle with no end and the love God has for me.
My class and I were doing our first Summer Learning Journey Taster. It was amazing and fun to create my own. I hope you like it. Here it is:
Today Mrs Grant came to our class and she taught us about testing our powers of observation and seeing if the picture shown on the screen is real or fake. I think this photo was hard because the photo looks so realistic.
I would recommend Lunch time because the boy who fell down, never gave up. He kept on trying. I think it is inspirational.
Yesterday morning it was a beautiful day to go to the stone cottage but we had to wait until 10am to go and when it hit 10am we had to line up so we could walk there. There is such interesting stuff there. A lady named Terry and a man named Patrick were there to show us around.
Terry showed us a moustache cup that a man would use to drink his tea out of. They loved their tea and the special cup stopped their moustaches from getting wet.
She said “follow me to the next room and squash up.” She said this a pot they used as a toilet and when it was full they had to dig a hole to put all the yucky stuff in and put the mud back where were used to be.
Patrick showed us the wooden stilts the children used to play with to walk with. It looks hard.
After that we had to go up stairs. It was too small for me to walk up the stairs. It was so small that I had to duck down to get up there. Once we were there we saw a room with a baby’s crib and a child’s bed too. .
Patrick told us about the map of NZ and showed us a Faberge egg that was thar for a long time and from overseas. There were old shoes and an old doll in a bedroom too and some old dresses and clothes that they used to wear back in the olden days.
I think it was a lovely outing because we learned so much about how people lived a long time ago.
Earlier this month we celebrated Matariki which is on July 14th. Matariki is a public holiday for everyone in New Zealand. We weree also on school holiday. Matariki means the eyes of god and it is always celebrated in mid winter and it is the beginning of the new year for the maori people. Matariki are 9 special stars around us. Matariki are star clusters in the early morning just before the sun comes up. My teacher said we were going to do make Matariki stars. We used cardboard that was cut into circles, a ruler, scissors and two different colours of wool. This is my star – can you guess how I made it? 
If you were a fashion designer what kind of dress would you design?
