Cool Cultural Festival

On Wednesday 17 of September all of Saint Patrick's School students went to the Hall. We went there to  celebrate cultural festival. We do cultural festival to raise money for Saint Patrick's School.

First my sister and I went to room 5 our the american pop group was. We went in and Mrs R told us to change to into our black clothes. I went into the toilets with my clothes and changed. After changing I went to make stuff with the glow sticks like necklaces, bracelets,  belts, and decorations for our hats. Then we went to walk to the Hall. On the way to the hall we were glowing.

When we arrived at the Hall I saw lots of people and I even saw the librarians that works at the Pamnure library. The american pop group sat for a few minutes and waited, then all the Saint Patrick's School students stood up and sang the national anthem with the Maori group dancing to it on stage and after the national anthem we turned around and sang the pacific greetings song. Then the Maori group danced to a really creepy Maori song they danced really good. Then the Maori group went off and Chinese Group went on stage. The Chinese group boys had to follow my classmate, Caleb since they didn't know the dance very well. After that the Tongan group went stage, they were wearing leave as clothes.

Then it was half time break. My dad bought me chips and a lemonade fizzy drink. My dad took lots of photos of my friends, Ace, Tristan, and I. We walked around talking to each other. Then we had to sit back down because it was almost time for the next dance.

After that the next dances were going to start. The European fusion were going to start. They danced very, very, very great they were almost better than our dance. When they were done it was my group turn to dance. I was very nervous but at the end I felt really proud. Finally it was the last groups turn, the Samoan group and when they danced every body in the hall was cheering out loud, they danced to very loud music, they were amazing, I thought they were the best group.

Then it was time to go home. My brother and I had lots of glow sticks. We played with them, they were really fun. I like cultural festival.

My Autobiography

WALT write an autobiography.
An autobiography is a story about your life.

Spending Money

WALT spend money on a budget.
I know I can do this when I count the money from my Room 5 reward bag.
Then I tried to spend my money on things I need or I want.

This is a presentation to show what I would spend my money on.

Mission of the Church

WALT describe the mission of Jesus and the Church

I know this because both Jesus and the church have the same mission because they both teach. Jesus teaches by telling people about God and the church teaches by telling people about the gospel story.

Both Jesus and the church has the same mission because they both serve. Jesus serve by serving the 5000 men and the church serves by giving out the bread and wine.

Both Jesus and the church have the same mission by forgiving. Jesus forgives by forgiving other people's sin and the church forgives by forgiving the children sin in confession or reconciliation.

This is a sketch of Saint Patrick's Church

Mini beast questions

WALT answer key questions about mini beast.

We had to create 5 key questions.
Key questions are questions that you don't know the answer to.

We had to search using key words to find information.

Then we needed to put our information into our own words.
This is my inquiry project

Something Strange Going on by Julie Wall

Something Strange Going On by Julie Wall.

WALT Write a new blurb for the back of your book.

A blurb is something like a sneak peek for the story.

Oh no! Noah and his family lost their socks, everyday they have to wear a odd pair. Find out where the socks went in the story.

What Do We Need And Want

WALT discribe the diffrence between needs and wants.

This is a picture of money.

It is a need because without money you can't buy food, water, clothes, shelter.

Body Parts in Maori

WALT identify the parts of the body in Maori and English.

I know I can do this when I can add all the parts of the body in English and Maori on Luke.
This is a picture of Luke with the body parts in English and Maori.

Need and Wants

WALT expain the difference between a need and a want.

I know this because a need is somthing that you have to use to survive.
A want is something that you don't need to survive.

We read the story A Chair For My Mother.

The chair in this story A Chair For My Mother is a want because they already have a chair to sit on. The chair is a want because the characters in the story can survive without a chair and they won't die without it. The chair is a want because when chairs were not invented people didn’t die. The chair is a want because when their house burnt down their chairs burnt and the characters were still alive. I know the chair is a want because the characters don’t need a comfortable chair to peel potatoes, watch news and sleep on.

Estimate and Measure

WALT estimate and measure in m and cm
Estimate means take a guess. Wen we estimate we use what we know then try to guess an answer as close as possible to the correct measument.

After we estimate we need to check to see if our estimation is correct.

To learn this we flew our planes.
My estimation was  13m 35cm.
My plane actually flew 1m 88cm.
My estimation was wrong.

Estimate my flight!

WALT estimate and measure in cm and m.
Estimate means guess. First we will estimate then we will check our estimation by measuring using a ruler.

I estimate that my plane will fly 13m and 35cm.
