Today our teacher Mrs Ghosh, made us do a challenge.The challenge was to make a paper plane without using a device and only using one piece of paper ,scissors and a glue stick . Our teacher put us in groups of four, the people in my group were Charmy, Nathan ,Marist and me. First Charmy folded half of the paper plane, I helped her with the other half. We wrote our names on the plane one by one. Several minutes later we tested the plane out, it flew through the air smoothly, Charmy thought it could fly further so she glued the plane together. We tested the plane again and it actually worked! (a little bit though) Multiple minutes passed and it was time to fly the planes, one person from each group had to fly the paper plane, my group chose me. The people who flew the paper plane lined up on a white line on the turf, our teacher did the countdown and in no time all the planes flew through the air and we actually ended up second!

About our interesting term
Our term was extraordinary because we had a wonderful student teacher that was practising to be a teacher, she did a lot of science experiments like what water is cleaner, about plants (how they grow,we even got 3 beans each to plant in a little plastic cup) and we even got to make a rap! Her name was Mrs Matenga and she was really fun, I mean even our teacher got to rest because she was practising on being a teacher so she had full control for multiple weeks. We made her a beautiful piece of art work that had a tree on it and a beautiful background because she had to go to another school to practise, My whole class got to help with the art work so it was from all of us. Our principal made a token competition and if you show respect then a teacher might give you a token to put in your token box( there are four token boxes,there is Kowhai, Kauri, Rata, and Totara. This term we learnt about a lot of stuff like fractions, area and perimeter, respect and bullying. We also did a cinquain poem about ANZAC with a picture of anything related to ANZAC with a sunset. For Matariki we animated the Matariki story. We also made a harira soup with Jean and Khaleed (it was amazing)

A Matariki animation
Today my friend Priscilla and I made an animated story of how the Matariki sisters were made so if you don't know how the sisters were made just watch our animation slide (it looks way more smoother if you go through it very fast but you will have to do it a bit slower to read the texts.)
