Auckland Art Gallery Trip

Have you been to the Auckland Art Gallery before? Last Week at Friday class 9, class 10 and some of the year 5’s in Mrs Jacobson's class went to the Auckland Art Gallery. We went to the Art Gallery by bus and when we were nearly there I saw big buildings and other ones.  

The bus was at the art gallery so we have to wait then we entered. There was

a lady and other ones that introduced us. Her name was Mandy. When we entered we had to break up in groups. I was in Miss Lavakula’s group and other parent helpers.

My group was the first one to go in. The first room we had to go to was the studio. When I went in I saw water paint, pencils, markers and colours. After that we had to sit down in a chair because we are going to tell a story using pictures. We had to draw a picture that we went to in the weekends. So I drew a wedding dress and then Mandy came around and guessed my drawing she said I went to the wedding.

After that we went out of the studio then we had morning tea. When we finished our morning tea my group went up stairs to the lego. I sat down and made a wall. It was soo cool that  I wondered who did the heart one and the names. It was 12.30 so we went and had our lunch outside. I had shared lunch with my friends. Lunch was finished so we moved onto our next activity.

I felt happy that we went to the Auckland Art gallery because it was my second time there. I had the most happiest day in my life.

How to be a Successful Point England Student

Do you know how to be a successful Point Englander student? I am going to explain to you why and how to be a successful Point England student. Being a successful student is important to people. It is good to use it wherever you are.

Trying your best- Trying your best means when there is something you can’t handle or can’t do you just have to try your best. For example if the teacher says go and work on your maths and the person thinks they can’t do it he thinks again that he could try his best. Trying your best also means giving 100 percent in everything you do and not giving up.

Using your manners- At school people always use their manners when they are with the teacher or some where else. For example if someone needs a rubber they can just ask like this, May I please use your rubber for a minute.   

Ignoring- Ignore means when somebody says something mean to you, you just ignore it or talk about it. For example if you walk past someone and they swear to you just ignore or tell the teacher on duty. It is important to ignore because if you don’t it will might start a fight.

Conclusion: Strive to succeed

Our school has a song called strive to succeed and I will write it but a little bit. The world is waiting for us to show the seed thats in our soul success is growing deep within our faith has made us bold. That song was written by Mr Jacobson but he is a tall man.

Use my brain: Use my brain helps me to think about what I say and do to others first. It means thinking ahead. Here is a good example if you have a chain email or a doggy mail screenshot it and send it to the teacher.

Use my heart: When I think about using my heart that means I should do my best at everything that I do.I need to give 100 percent on what I do

Daylight Saving Time

This is a story about a girl called Marcella who doesn’t understand what Daylight Saving is.

Here is my certificate from xtramath.

Do you know why objects float or why objects sink? I am going to explain three reasons what floating means

Floating:Floating is when an object is floating above the surface.If an object gets put in the liquid and it floats the liquid goes to the sides and it displaces the water. Floating is buoyancy.It means its has the ability to float and stay above the surface.Some objects float because it has air in it.

Sinking:Sinking means is an object is under the surface that is solid or heavy like a rock.If you put a rock into a bottle of liquid it pushes the rock downwards so it will not come up again.Gravity is the force that pulls objects downwards towards the centre of the earth.
