This week we did our Quizathon test and we did wonderfully well! And then we tested our buddies. At assembly it was Room 34/35's turn to do assembly. They made a song about the Seasons. This week we wrote pourquoi stories and published them on the computers and iPads. They will be on our writing blog very soon. We found out how to ask what the weather is like in different parts of New Zealand e.g. He aha te ahua o te rangi ki Auckland (Tamakimakaurau)? He rangi.....We did a special mission to find Bertie around the school. We had to direct him back to our class using marker points and technical language e.g. half turn anticlockwise, quarter turn clockwise.
Have a great long weekend everyone!
We are an awesome bunch of Year 4 students from Meadowbank School in Auckland. Watch this space to see all our writing,maths, weekly updates and much more!

Week 3- Whole Class
This week Chanel got our citizenship cup. Congratulations Chanel! We think you are kind, nice, help us, good sportsmanship, and follows the class treaty. This week was science week and we have been doing some experiments. Olivia and Rayan went on stage and answered some Quizathon questions. They got 3 questions correct! WELL DONE. We have been continuing with our dance with Bree. We started planning a garden for our client Miss Hopkins. We needed to create a path or courtyard using tessellations. A wall using translations. Some trees or a butterfly using symmetry.Today Bertie is going home with someone. We hope that everyone remembers to be respectful and responsible when writing comments on our blog.
