super snow day

In the weekend it snowed and I made a snowman and made snow angels!  Me my brother and my Dad we all had a snowball fight.

I hit Dad heaps of times so he went inside. I made big balls of snow then me Mum and  Hayden went  on wintery walk down  to the farm on the way I shaped a skeleton head with the snow OOF! Hayden threw a snowball  at my  head and it hurt so mum started throwing snowballs at hayden until it started a snowball fight after all that I sat in my sleeping bag by the fire to  warm up the  snow was  so fun! 
 

pobble

One sloppy day a dirt biker named Max was bobbing  down a swamp on one tyer,
SUDDENLY a huge swamp monster appeared

It had trees  on its back and moss on its tummy its name was

Swampasuris rex. It was going to stomp on max
but all  of a sudden 4 elfs came swinging on vines and
started attacking the monster with small swords and axes.
then the Elf leader gave max a big hammer so max swung on a vine
and  hit the monster and it head fell off and max went to his home. the end  

My winter holiday!

The weird- the weird thing that happened in the holidays was that when I was at home some people drove up to our house and knocked on the door and  rang the doorbell i was  hiding with hayden and steven suddenly they tried to open the door  but then they gave up and left. Whew!



The wonderful- the wonderful thing that happened was that I had a party at the pool the gallants and the van der geastscame cause they were the only ones who wasn't on holiday we  had fish and chips and had cake was filled with M&Ms and jafers and played on the  big inflatable.



The worst- the worst thing that happened was I hit my toe on the  super bowl in  hanmer springs
it really hurt.

My favourite activities were making flax ropes, building huts in the rain and making a  raft.
When I was making the  raft i was working with Bianca, Zac, Quinn, Victor, and our leader was Braber. My job was plating the flax  to make ropes. We put a doll on it and miz B dressed it  up to look like a maori chef, and guess what it actually floated.

I got to sleep at about 12 and got into bed at about 8:30. Finally morning

Coordinates & Mapwork

This term we have been learning about measurements, coordinates and map work.

We learnt about the directions of the compass.
(North, East, South, West)

The activities that we did were drawing floor plans
and coordinate map activities.
My favourite active was drawing the map of our school
and using it  for a treasure hunt we used  Jess's map for it.
Guess what the treasure was 2 packets of CHOCOLATES!! 

The map  that we are doing is going to help us with our camp

Our first term!

 Our first term!!

In our first term of 2019 we had a big change.

We had  a new teacher her name is miss B she is from South Africa,

and some students got some new chromebooks. 

Also there were some new students, that came to our school,

and we went to the pool for midland line swimming and we won 

THE RELAY!

What I really like about our new teacher is that she buys lego  for us so we have

got a lego club going on. 

Also we had  to special day they were valentine's day and pi-day.
