Writing

WHAT: I have been involved in a range of writing experiences.

SO WHAT: This year for writing we have been given lots of opertunities to write about so many things. We have written camp letters to the parent helpers, multiple sets of instructions, using cards to write about things like your favourite animal to writing about what you want to be. We also have a awesome writing system that allows us to write whatever we want.

Run Bike Run

WHAT: I competed in the Kauri Run Bike Run this week.

So What: For the Kauri Run Bike Run this week I competed in the teams race with my friend Siobhan. We decided to practice the course on Sunday the day before the event so we were prepared for what we had to do. On the day my favorite part of the race was watching Siobhān do a massive catchup at the very end of the race and my worst moment was when my chain came out while I was waiting for Siobhān to tag me. Our final result was fifth in the teams overall but we were the first girl team.

Now What: Next year if I am her I would like to try and beat the score that we got this year.

Writing

My Next Step is to write for particular audiences and purposes using appropriate , clear and logical structures. Choose the type of writing to suit the audience.

Maths

My Next Step is to explore probability through experimenting and comparing actual results with expected results. Find perimeters, areas and volumes of shapes.
