This term I have improved my writing by: I have learnt new words/vocabulary and also how to do haiku poems, puns, word playing, riddles, etc. I have also learnt how to do paragraphs and how much sentences you need for one. I have also been using more description and adverbs in my writing. This term I have improved my reading by: I have gotten better at reading with expression and I have learnt knew words so I know what a book is talking about. This term I have improved my maths by: I have gotten better at division and reading division backwards then using my times tables to solve it. I have also been using place value for my addition (sometimes subtraction). I have also learnt to remove certain parts in subtraction instead of getting a big number and using place value so it does not get too confusing. Art/Mindfulness/P.E. (cross-country/gymnastics): I learnt about motorcycle landings and also the rocket jump in gymnastics. In mindfulness, I learnt how to do mindful breaths an...

This is my stencil. Whaea Georgia spray-painted the stencil all around the school, all my birds are the same but some is in different colours. My amazing bird is a Kea or maybe a Tui.   Here is our exclamation mark. It got brought from the dump. We used resense testpots to paint the door and make it an exclamation mark. It is 4 panel (probably smooth). We used masking tape to create all the coloured shapes.

To do a handstand you put your hands on the ground and have it shoulder-width apart. You must keep your hands straight on to the floor. Then you flick your feet up in the air and make sure its straight up (make sure you're not leaning backwards/forwards). You can use a wall or a friend to help support you and get you in to the handstand position. Your back has to be straight up and you need to do it on hard ground that will not move because you might break your hand. Trey and James How to do a handstand

How do we balance? Balance is important because if you could not balance, you would be always tumbling down to the floor and walking would be tricky. You balance every day! Even other animals balance. Balancing is also very important for gymnastics or then you would keep falling and not up straight, and if there was no balance then probably no one would do gymnastics. To balance well and be up straight, we can have our arms out, It might help due to weight distribution because on what way your arms are facing. This really helps when you are on one foot! You should use this in gymnastics, especially on the wooden beam! Another way to balance well and steady is to focus on a still spot. It helps if there is lots of moving objects/animals around you so you are less distracted from the objects/animals. It helps in gymnastics with other people! In conclusion, balance is an important aspect of humans and even other animals like moneys.  These incredible elements help us to bal...
