Which is a 1/2 turn?

We had to figure out what this image would look like if we turned it a 1/2 turn

I had a try turning it on google docs and the right image is this 

Tessellations

For one of our tasks we had to do tessellations, A tessellation is a pattern with no gaps or overlapping, it just repeats and repeats. This task was kinda hard for me but I enjoyed getting it done.

Last day!!

 Hi guys,

This blog is about how this term was and how everything has been going. Today is the last day of term 2, And I think I have improved a bit of my maths and my fractions. My reading and writing has also been going well, I just think I need to stop talking much and sit next to people who won’t distract me. I have started being with other people and not hanging out with the same person every time. I have also learnt a lot about Minecraft thanks to Mr. Fountain. We have all done lots of fun activities, one of my favourites is using the cup, balloon and pollen. And also when we made our own plants (they probably died) But I think I had a lot of fun this term and I can’t wait for term 3. I also JUST found out that Totara won, I'm pretty disappointed because I'm in Rata and we were coming 1st but congratulations.

Cross country

Me and my class grabbed a felt pen and drew a dot on our hand. The reason why we did that was because it shows our grade, year 5’s were green and year 6’s were blue. After that we all rushed out the door to go line up. Me and my friend were sitting together and chatting while waiting to go up and run. The 9 year old's went first to run. Some people cheered them on while they were standing up and walking to the field. One by one each line gets up and goes to the backfield to race. After a while the year 6 girls got up and walked to the back field ready to race, We all lined up behind the line and waited for Ms H. to clap the blocks together. *BANG* We all turn into sonic and run as fast as bolt, All the girls start to run off. Me and my friend Kalana ran together next to each other following all the other girls. We ran in so many different directions. When we got to area 1 we saw all the juniors cheering for us as we sped past them, So much noise going on as we ran. Half way through we see our other friend, So we decide to run with her. On and on we go running with all the strength we have. Switching between jogging, running and walking just trying our best to make it to the end. On the way, we cheered some people on as they just started their race. And then finally We made it to the finish!! I run to the fountain and have a nice cold drink.

Koko Alaisa

 Koko Alaisa

Last Friday, Room 12 and 13 had a taste of Koko Alaisa and panikeke. We all had a little talk about the meaning and taste. We also had some predictions on what it looks like or tastes like. Last year the year 6’s had panikeke on samoan language week, so some already know what it would taste like. After talking we all lined up waiting for the Koko alaisa (Coca rice) . I could also smell the cocoa from my table. We each grabbed a spoon and cup of Koko alaisa then went back to our seats. It smelled very good! I took a bite of it. It tasted so good. At the same time when I was taking a bite my lips stuck to the spoon, I couldn’t really just slip the spoon through my lips. After having it, She let us go for another round so I went and got more. The taste of it was just so nice I couldn't even describe it. After that VERY yum cup of Koko Alaisa I threw it in the bin and sat back down. I really enjoyed it and hope we have it again some other time.

Chopsuey

It was finally my turn, I carefully grabbed the small bowl of chop suey and slowly sat back down. While I was walking back, I could feel the warm chops suey on my hands, I could also smell the yummy chicken. One by one everyone receives a bowl and sits back down on the mat. It was kinda hot at first so I blew it and waited for it to cool down. Then I took my first bite and was amazed at how delicious it was. I could taste the chicken and the vegetables, there was all kinds of yummy stuff I could taste. Every bite I would take would make me fuller and fuller. Reaching into the middle of the bowl I saw rice, I really liked the rice with the chop suey because it made it even better. After that really yum bowl of chop suey I went and threw my empty bowl in the bin. Some students had some hot sauce with their chop suey. And one student started going crazy. I really enjoyed the yum chop suey and everything about it.
