Week Three - Term Two

Doing Dishes - On Wednesday to Friday, I was supposed to do the staffroom dishes, but I only did it on Friday. I did it on Wednesday before Interval because Mrs. Shaw needed someone to help her. I was busy for the rest of the day and all Thursday. I was only on staffroom duty for three days. One of the people on this week was busy at the Music Workshop on Wednesday and Thursday, and then out of town on Friday. While I couldn't do it, I got my friend Grace to. Since Friday is the shared morning tea day, I brought her a couple of lollies from it.

Music Workshop - The Music Workshop is when a few other school come to mine and learn some music. Of course, they already play. They were all band students and choir students. I wasn't a part of it this year because I'm not in choir, but I was last year. It was fun. It took place on Wednesday and Thursday.

Helping Mrs. Shaw - On Wednesday, Arden and I helped Mrs. Shaw prepare dinner for the Music Workshop students. We brought a few items in from her car. We put a few different veggies into separate bowls, and put cheese slices onto plates. We also got 250 plastic knives, forks and spoons into containers. We also made sure there was the right amount of plates and bowls (250 of each). Since there was quite a bit of rubbish from all that, we took it and threw it into the large bin which was kind of fun.

Sorting Library - On Thursday morning, Arden and I went through most of the books in the library to find books with old stamps. We went back at Thursday lunchtime to try to finish, and we almost did, but the bell rang before we could. We only had a few more books to do, though.

Tech Arts - We started to do Music in Tech Arts. I haven't done as much as some people. On Tuesday I was pulled out to get immunized and on Friday I was doing dishes.

New Lunch Entertainment - Because we aren't allowed to go onto the grass that we usually play Tree-Tag, Arden and I came up with a new game. We got another few people to play with us, Rowan, Megan and Gaby. I won't explain the rules, but the game is rather fun, and a little violent. I was forced to be lifted so that I would get a penalty of sorts. I was kicking, punching and slapping, but still laughing.

Extension Art - I signed my canvas that is now hanging in the library. I started drawing my portrait that I will be painting. I am painting Brendon Urie. So far, I have only drawn his lips, and they look AMAZING! Just kidding. They only look great.

Extension Food - We made carrot muffins with cream cheese icing. Mine were banana-y, and Arden's were black. They were nice though. I had them for desert the day I made.

Maths - We have begun to do fractions, decimals and percentages. I have only done things on Mathletics so far, and I haven't done them well. I have done several attempts at most things.

Writing - I have almost finished taking notes for my report writing. I have learnt a lot about meerkats that I didn't already know. I have learnt about their diets and their burrowing system.

Reading - I have read the short story and have almost finished the vocab task. I still haven't started any of the other tasks, though. I will start them next week.

Maori - We are writing a story about the Waikato river. I am in a group with Megan, Hadlee, Caitlyn, and Sophie J. We are still working on it.
