report/arterfact bolg

Last term I was learning about the Trojan war. I had to research to find information and use keywords then write it in my own words.  I also had to create a clay model and mine was the Trojan horse. Something that challenged me was finding the info for my report and writing it in my own words.

 Have you ever wondered about the Trojan war and how it started? Well that is what my report tells you.
 I have also made an artifact of the inside of the Trojan city with the Trojan horse. I have stretched my perseverance muscle because I kept remaking my gate and horse because it kept breaking.

I am proud of my maths task because I worked really hard on it to make it my personal best.
What  learnt was to to find different ways to make more multiplication like 4 groups of 15 = 50.  Something that challenged  me was to figure out the maths questions like 4 groups of 7.

   Matariki

Totara hub has been learning about Matariki and the seven sisters. I learnt that the seven sisters have special things about them, and that Waifi and Wasita are sisters. We also did little workshops like how to build roses out of flax and painting on rocks. I was in the rose making and then the stones. It was really fun making the flowers even if it was really tricky, well not for Alex, he got perfect on his own. I found it really tricky so I had help from Miss Jackett.
