Term 2 Week 6

                                 Term 2 Week 6


On Monday this week Room 29 (the year 5's) went down in the white school van to go down at Te Tuhi.  First the group I was in which was most of the girls and we went down to Te Tuhi first. When we got there everyone started playing hand games. Then the rest of the class came and we had to wait for Jerome our art teacher we were meant to have. The Jerome appeared and took Room 29 to the art studio. Jerome told us to not touch the bottles that were on the table and told us to find a seat. I found a seat in the middle table with a couple of people.  First Jerome go this lady names Te Aroha to tell Room 29 about the Earth Mother and the Sky Father.  Next Jerome told us told us to look for the holes in the bottles and use a vivid marker to trace around it. The he told us to cut on the line and the you got to decorate the bottle with these sticker thingys. Finally we got to put the plant and soil and stuff in it. I decided I would get a food plant. I thought it was lettuce or something. Next Jerome took us around Te Tuhi and showed us the projects around Te Tuhi and asked what technology the artists used. Overall I thought the trip was fun but I felt somehow restless.

Making Connections



My Reflection
I was learning to identify character traits and compare characters based on these traits.  I had to find out what the character looked like, how it got treated and how he treated people,the other box and how it felt.  The easiest traits was the other box because the author didn't tell much and it only told the things that fitted the other box.

Identifying Character Trait

My Reflection
I was learning to identify character traits and to compare character based on these traits.  I had to look for how the main character got treated, what they looked like and how they felt.  The hardest traits was probaly physical and social because the author didn't tell much at the start.  The easiest trait was the other box because it told what the character got and fitted the other box.
