We have been working on tapa cloth. We made some little as well.
They look really good but they will never look like the big one. We will be working on this for another 4 weeks.

This tapa cloth is hanging on our wall. and it belongs to my Dad's family. It is a treasure.

One of the bands that people in our class were involved in was The Nasa Band. It was a great experience even though it was a rehearsal.

Spelling quiz by Abby

On Wednesday the second of June 2010 Two groups from the High flyers competed in the ODT extra spelling quiz at the boys high hall.It was quiet hard,but we managed.The two teams were:Abby from room 14,Maddy from Room15 and Richard also from Room15. We were in Bluestone two.In Bluestone one there were: Laura and Samantha from Room 13 and Courtney L from Room 16.
We had to do stuff sort of like this,
"what are the root words for these? making,eating and saving. "

There was also an adult's quiz and they seemed to like it.

I liked the spot that Bluestone One and Two got to sit in, because we were right up at the front so when we had to run up and give our answers to the adults up the front. We could just walk like seven steps and we were already there.

My favourite part was the missing letter a and b. But missing letter b was so hard.What we had to do was...the person up the front would call out five hints and then you have to try and guess what she is talking about.The first missing letter was easy..... it was earthquake.But the second one was hard it was... cycleways.

The spelling words were easy but the activities weren't.My group got a photo for the Courier newspaper.I enjoyed the quiz a lot.The quiz went for one hour and a half.I was tired when I got home.

Draft writing

This term we have been writing fiction stories. First we planed our stories in our draft writing book. Then we drafted our story, then we reworked our drafted story and edited our story.
Once Sharlene has checked our spelling so we don't get any words wrong in our published copy, we can use the laptops to publish.
