Grandparents Mass

Grandparents Mass was so much fun but sadly my grandparents were not able to make it. This time I got eight things for $7, now that's amazing considering grandparents mass is always over priced. I got a biscuit, banana loaf, chocolate something and the best thing was the cucumber and tuna club sandwich. It was so much fun but it's a shame it is my last year at Good Shepherd so I won't be able to do Grandparents Mass again.

St Mary McKillop Feast day

This is my art. We did this because it was St Mary McKillop feast day. I love art and 2 years ago I did dot art but I ended up drawing lines instead of dots because I was too impatient. But I think I did a much better job than my art from 2 years ago. It was so much fun and I hope I can do it again.

Netball

On Thursday the 9th of August two teams went to netball zones. I was one of them. We played 6 games and won two of our games. We played Maungawhau, Balmoral, Owa iraka, M.E.N.P.S (Mount Eden Normal Primary School), Marist and Edendale. The teams were tough. I played as attack and defence my favourite positions.

My Game

This is my game that me and Gina invented but we got the idea from a friend. We haven't completed it yet but it will be done soon. It is a math game. A fractions math game. There are six players and they are colors. It is a fun game and I hope the class will enjoy playing it.When you land on a fraction you have twenty seconds to name as many equivalent fractions as possible.

Speeches

At school we've been doing speeches I did my speech on the second day and I was petrified. I'm not a person who likes to speak in front of lots of people. I thought I would get into the semifinals but I didn't which to me is a good thing. My speech this year was about social media and the effects. Actually speeches weren't as bad as I thought it would be, but I was still terrified.

Animal Classification

Today we learned about how animals are classified into groups. Animals are either vertebrates (which means they have a spine) or invertebrates (which don't have a spine).

Invertebrates are animals such as jellyfish, crabs, octopus and insects.

Vertebrates are put into five groups. They are mammals, birds, reptiles,fish and amphibians. Mammals have fur or hair and give birth to live young. Birds have feathers and lay hard eggs. Reptiles are cold-blooded and lay soft eggs. Amphibians breathe through their skin and need to keep their skin moist. Fish breathe through gills and have fins.

Here are five examples of each type:

Mammals: Tiger, Dog, Zebra, Chimpanzee and Otter

Birds: Goose, Swan, Turkey, Parrot and woodpecker

Fish: Goldfish, Eels, Sharks, Seahorses and Stingray

Reptiles: Crocodile, Tuatara, Snake, Tortoise, Chameleon
Amphibians: Frogs, Toads, Newts, Salamanders and Caecilians

Health Picnic

This is my class. We were having a healthy picnic because that is what we were studying all term for inquiry and how to eat better. That day was also wig Wednesday, but not many people remembered their wigs as you can see. The food was delicious and the sushi went fast. I didn't get to try everything but I'm sure it all tasted great.
