Transformation Style!

This week in Maths we learnt about transformation of shapes.  First we watched a funny youtube clip called transformation style.  There are three types of transformation:

Turns = rotation

Slide = translation

Flip = reflection

Then we created our own Koru artwork using one of the above.  Have a look at the artwork and see if you can figure out which transformation we have used.....

Teach me Tuesday - Anastasia

Anastasia taught us how to do proper cartwheels the other day.  First she showed us we need straight arms and legs, and to smoothly go hand,hand,foot,foot.  Then we got to practice.  Some people practiced really hard and got much better...in just 20 minutes.

The Pukeko Song

The Kowhai reading group from Room 16 were reading a story from a school journal called "Paul and the Pukeko".  Sometimes we have to write a song, poem or rap about the story we have read.  Zach and Nishil wrote this song about Paul and the Pukeko, Mr Clark picked up his guitar, and we played the song!  Here it is:

Awesome story beginnings!

Here are some story beginnings from some of our writers.  They have done some great work introducing the characters and settings!!!

Amy was a young girl with long yellow hair.  She wears a short sleeve T Shirt and blue stripy pants with pink socks.  She was a happy and nice girl who loves eating juicy apples.

Amy lived in a grey wooden tree house.  It has lots of books and its hot where she lives.  The sky is always blue and she loves climbing the apple trees.

Addin lives in a huge rainforest.  He likes climbing trees and he swings on the vines to get from one place to another.  He wears an orange and yellow stripy T Shirt with blue jeans and he absolutely loved to pick apples.  When Addin climbs trees he picks apples and cleans them in the sparkling cold river.  He gets tired quickly, and this is Addins life.

Joe was a happy boy who had tiny eyes and huge ears.  He loved the juicy apples that grew nearby but he needed to hunt for them because they are very rare.

Joe lived in a huge tree house and he loved to climb the big apple trees that grew all around.  He sometimes fell down but he was still happy.  Joe never likes to go to the city because of his bad hair cut.

Paul was a small boy who loved to wear his stripy shirt and red pants.  He always went out and put on his pale blue shoes to play.  Paul loved eating pancakes for breakfast.

Paul lived in a small wooden house near a big forest.  He loved walking to the warm lake to have a big swim.  When it was autumn huge orange leaves would fall in his face.
