Happy Father's Day!

At school, we had to choose a text type to write something to our Dad. I choose a description, where you have to describe someone or something. Here is mine....


Dear Dad

You are super kind and fun, you always let me do awesome things, but always make sure it is safe first. Sometimes, when it snowed in Dunedin, you would always let me go down to the park and build giant, Puffy snowmen with my friends. ( with the help of you).

Whenever you get angry at me and I storm off to my room, you always make sure I’m OK afterwards.  You always make me laugh after I have a hissy fit.

You cook dinner some nights when mum is super tired, and you always do DIY stuff at home ( which turns out cheaper and cooler then bought stuff ).  You are super patient but you like to get stuff done.

You always come and watch my football games ( in the car, most of the time ) you are also very supportive when I play sport.  You are always HILARIOUS, everyone loved you last year at camp, or at least, Willow and I did.

You supported Caity and I when we moved to Christchurch, and put focus on us. You made the journey of moving a BLAST, and super fun for the WHOLE family, including Mum. You are AWESOME.

Who Could Ask For A Better Dad Than You?
Love, Sarah

My Olympic Country

At School my class Is celebrating the Olympics, we all had to choose a country to research about, I chooseIreland.

Ireland is a country located in Europe with the total of 4.63 million living in it. Ireland’s most popular tourist attraction is Trinity College in Dublin. Other Irish cities of note include Cork, Limerick and Galway.

Saint Patrick's Day is Ireland’s official national holiday, The 17th of March holiday is celebrated in Ireland and also embraced by many other countries around the world.

Did you know the world famous Guinness beer is from Ireland? It originated in the Dublin brewery of Arthur Guinness.  In 2002 Ireland was the first country in the world to have an environmental tax for plastic shopping bags and in 2004 it was the first to introduce a public smoking ban. Ireland has 74 athletes competing in the 2016 Olympics this year.

In Northern Ireland, you will find some of the most spectacular beaches in Europe. The naturally stunning formations of the coastline provide long stretches of golden sand and impressive sand dunes.

Ireland’s environment is beautiful and green, but there are some bad sides about it. Ireland is next to the United States which has air pollution that can float over to Ireland. Ireland also has water pollution, but that is caused by the people of Ireland.  The main Environmental issues is Water pollution and Air pollution.

I hope Ireland can find a resolution to these Environmental issues! By Sarah :)

Production

This term my school is doing a whole school production. The theme is Cinderella & Rockerfella. It has many roles: Cinderella, Rockerfella, Fairy Brigade, Fairy God Mother, Dress maker and many more. Each role is unique, with one or more speaking part or maybe just a ball guest. Better not spoil it, though.

I am Rockerfella's dress maker, and have one line to say. I am in two scene's I only speak in one of them, though. I love my costume, even though it's a bit "over the top" it's really detailed and sparkly.  Most of my friends got a part one of my friends got Cinderella and one of my closest friends is a ball room guest (taylor swift's mum.)

The Prop's that we will use look brilliant. Like in the town scene there is a candy stand, a Hair salon and a clothes shop.  The props for the Ball room scene are still being painted but I am sure they look spleinded. I am looking ford to the production, I hope I don't muck up. By Sarah

My Favourite Thing About My Class Learning🎨

My favourite thing about my class learning is choosing were you sit. It is my favourite thing because I don't work so well at a labeled seat and having to sit there no matter what. If it goes boy, girl, boy girl it just makes me feel uncomfortable and I cant do much work while feeling uncomfortable.

Most people would say DEVICES as their favourite thing about learning in my class, in a blink of an eye, but I like sitting with friends and writing in books much better than sitting in labeled seats with devices. I Love sitting with friends while I am working!!

My Finger Spelling Video

In class we have all made a you tube video about signing our name in sign language. I learnt how to spell my name in sign language at home. We made it because it is good to know how to sign your name if you meet a deaf person.

I hope you enjoy my sign language video

Mt Ruapau

On Friday my family drove up to Mt Ruapehu. We stopped by and stayed at a holiday park in Napier for the night. In the morning I played on the beach and found lots of exotic shells. When my sister woke up we went on the trampolines. When we got to Mt Ruapehu it was 7:00 at night so we went for a spa after dinner.  The next day was my mothers birthday so we bought her Adele's new album that we listened to in the car where ever we went for the rest of the holiday. We went up Mt Ruapehu to the ski fields and view points.  We went for a tramp because we wanted to make the most of the sunny weather because a storm was coming and it was gonna snow so we made the most of the sun. We were driving back to palmy and stopped by the hot pools. It was a very exiting holiday!

Traditional Teaching Styles

On Tuesday 10th of may I came to school and saw through the window an old school class. There were signs on every single entrance to our class saying DO NOT ENTER UNTIL 8:50. My teachers came to school dressed up like olden day teachers. They were very strict and you weren't aloud to smile, laugh or in fact nothing that includes any sort of pleasure! I like smiling so I didn't cope very well. At morning tea time we weren't aloud to choose who we played with, were we played or what we played! After morning tea the teachers gave in and said that every time they looked at the white board they were actually trying very hard not to laugh! Then we had to do a CSI (colour symbol image) about TTS and the way we learn in my class and what colour symbol and image suits TTS and my class learning. Here is mine...
