At school we are having a basic facts focus. I am going to focus on 1-2 tables each week. This week I'm doing my 3s and 4s times tables. I'm going to revise them for 10 minutes each night, 5 minutes per table

Trip to St Bridget's; Part 1

On Wednesday we are going on a school trip to St Bridgets. I want to make some new friends and learn what it really means to go to a catholic school

Financial literacy

On Tuesday a financial literacy person from ASB gat wise person came and talked to us. He talked to us about choosing a job that you're interested in. We learnt about about saving our money and setting CAR (clear, achievable, realistic) goal for stuff we went to buy. Some of the lessons we learnt were; do your homework, reward yourself along the way, put a picture of what you aim to buy in your wallet and save some on you but spend some to.

I reckon I'm okay at saving but when I do go out shopping I need to make a list of things i want to buy and have been saving up for and only buy them.      

Trip to the Museum

I did many things in the holidays. Many fun things. (Which means I don't have to write an amusing story

 about  how I didn't do anything in the holidays).  One of the most fun things I did was to go to the Wellington Museum of City and Sea . (I actually went to two museums in the holidays. The other one was Te apa. But I Liked the Museum of Wellington City and Sea more). It was very interesting and informative. And (okay) fun. 

I went there with my mum, two little sisters, and some family friends from my sister's coffee group and class. Dad dropped us off in front of the building and we caught the train home. We picked up a treasure hunt at the front desk. The lady at the desk asked us to find the two rats in the bond store that she heard were running around in there. We all rushed into the bond store to find them. On our way out we told her where they were and she gave us all a sticker for finding them.

I was really interested by the displays and wanted to have a good look at everything. Unfortunately my sisters and their friends rushed ahead so I didn't really get the chance. My favourite display-  Life a  Century Ago-  was on the top floor. It was all about everyday life for Victorians. My favourite part was the section that told you about different jobs people had. There were telephones which, when you put them to your ear, a person told you all about their job. It was much more interesting than reading lots of text.

After going to the museum we had lunch at Frank Kitts park. I played in a tree most of the time we were there. At 12 O'clock the Len Lye water swirler on the waterfront began. It was one of the weirdest things I saw that day. At one point it went really wild. My sisters and I went right up to it and got really went.

One the way to the train my mum, sisters and I looked at shops. Katie got a pillow pet for her birthday.  Marama wanted one too and she decided to buy one with her birthday money so we were on a mission to find some. We could not find the faintest trace. We decided to get one from the warehouse in Johnsonville, where we got off the train.

We caught a train at the central station on the Johnsonville line and got off at the end of the line. I sat with mum and my sisters ran around for most of the journey. They cannot sit still.

Once we got off we went to the warehouse where we found a whole tub off pillow pets. Marama chose a purple bunny. When they got home they we so excited about Marama's new toy that they didn't even care about the present that got left for Kate at the front door. WHAT!!! Do your siblings ever behave like that?         
    

   

Statistics

For a while we have been doing statistics. I have learnt many things during this unit such as how to draw pie graphs, histograms and angles. I also learnt about mean, mode, median, and range. I think I need to work angles a bit as well as means.        

Drawing

At school we are drawing super hero comics. I have leant
 about sketching durning our art lessons.
Some things I need to work on are:

• Drawing lighter
• Making my drawings bigger
• Colouring in 

Do you like to draw? I do.
