Week 4- Cate and Mustafa

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!

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.
