Athletics Day

Yesterday, we had athletics at the Three Kings. At Athletics, there was types of sport. There was Relays, Long Jump, Shot Put, Discus and Running Races. There was a lot of people that got 1st, 2nd and 3rd. And if they got any of the places (1st 2nd or 3rd) they will go to Eden Albert Athletics. When we did the 200m run for year 5, I got 4th. I didn't get much place in all of them, but it was fun. When we got back from Three Kings, we were tired, but the we got to go to the playground for a little bit but then we got back to work.

Ministry of Education Math And Science test

Today on Thursday 8th of October 2018, we did the Ministry of Education Math and Science test. We did all sorts of maths like 32 x 48, graphs, fractions, the food chain, what makes its own food and a survey. Some of the questions were hard and some were easy. The survey was just questions asking all about us. After that, we got a certificate for participating and a pen with any colour we could choose. Mine was a red pen that has blue ink.

Comics

Today on Wednesday 7th November, we drew comics with Josh/ Mr. Drummond. We learnt how to make our drawings better and he also showed us our "AWESOME OWL PAINTING". We had him to come in because our new topic for writing is comics. This comic is about the three creatures, Chicken Man, Fat Guy Who Ate A City and Waffle turtle. This is what is happening. So Waffle Turtle wants to swim, but the others want to swim on Waffle turtle. So they did. At first, they were enjoying it and were happy. But then they sank because waffle turtle was not made for this. ( I'm telling this to you because it will be blurry when you try to read it)

Science Experiment

Today on Friday 16th November we did a science experiment. The experiment was to use different tweezers that were like beaks and see what tweezer/beak is best to pick up gummy squares and skittles.
Before we did the experiment we got to have 1 skittle and gummy each.
We named the tweezers Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, Type 4, Type 5 and Type 6. We picked Type 5 for the Gummy because it would jab through the soft surface of the Gummy. We picked Type 6 for the skittles because the wide end would help pick up the wide end of the skittle. Then we got to have some more Skittles and gummys. Then we got diabetes. JOKING! We just got sugar rush.

Yum!

All Saints Day

Today, on the 1st of November, was the Feast of All Saints Day. In the morning we first set off to church. Instead of having Monsieur Bernard Kiely,  we had the priest of St Patrick's Cathedral. Then we sang a few joyful songs. After that he asked what our favourite saints were. We heard St Joan Of Arc, St Patrick, St Mary Mackillop, St Mary, St Mother Theresa and some others. Then we sang the last song then the Feast finished. But it was not over yet because there was still the whole day left.

Bike Safety

Today on Thursday 25th, we did our bike safety course. The people who were teaching us were Bigfoot Adventures. They taught us stuff like how to put a helmet on with some extra stuff that were useful. They also told us that that the lever in the middle of the wheel needs to be tightened or else the wheel will fall off and, they told us that a bike must have a reflector at the bottom of the seat, the brakes must work and the wheels must be pumped. This is me riding a bike. When I first rode the bike, I didn't know how to ride a bike. But then I learned, I knew how to ride a bike.

After that I felt so happy! 

Kia Kaha Shields

On Wednesday 17th of October, we made a Kia Kaha shield. On it we wrote what makes us unique and why our class, Room 5, is special. We did it because we were showing what we had that was unique and why our class is special.
