Last week was Maths Week. We enjoyed working on the activities from the site. We have also been reading and thinking about Maths. The books that we have looked at have some type of Maths in them. One of our Reading activities this week is our blog ponder. Please add your answer to this question in the comments below. Remember to be thoughtful and to use punctuation in the right places.
On Monday 9th August, we had a special guest come to WaikÅwhai Primary. The show was Be Bright, Eat Right and he wove together magic with a few reasons to eat healthy. It was so much fun to watch. We even had some guest appearances from Te Ana Ako!
We learned lots of new things about eating healthy. We learned that you shouldn't eat too many sugary things or else your teeth will get cavities and become rotten. If you stay healthy it will help you get strong. Dairy is good for your health and your bones.
In Mokoroa, one of our favourite magic tricks was when the bunny came out of the hat. Another magic trick we liked was when the book got lit up with fire and then the fire stopped and a bird flew out of the book.
We enjoyed the performance a lot! We even figured out how he did a few of his magic tricks when we saw the feather of the bird sticking out of the box and a mirror in the bucket.
We might even try out a few of these magic tricks later. Are there any magic tricks you know? Have you seen a performance? If so, what was your favourite? Thank you for visiting our blog. We look forward to hearing from you.
Blog you later,
Mokoroa
With the Olympics well underway we have been looking at what sports or activities we think are the best. We planned and wrote some persuasive arguments to try to convince the reader to think about our favourites.
One of our goals was to use capital letters correctly and to end sentences with a range of punctuation (full stops, question marks and exclamation marks). When we had finished, we highlighted the capitals in blue and punctuation marks in yellow
Have a read of these few and let us know what you think. Were some good arguments made? Were you convinced to try a new sport?
