letter writing

Over the past few weeks, we have been learning to write both formal and informal letters. Here is an example of a letter I wrote about a political event in New Zealand's past

Dear Mr. Muldoon,
I am writing because I think that the Springboks should not tour
New Zealand. In south africa the black people don’t get treated the same way. We do not think that this is right as we don’t think like this in New Zealand. It is horrible that you are letting them play in our country. These people are racist. 

Sincerely,

Alice

Korfball

Last week in my hub we were split in to 4 gropes my group played corfball. it is a fun game and like netball and basketball but not like them at all. It has a hoop like netball. You can not run or dribal the ball ether. There is 2 teams 8 vs 8 but you are split in to 2 different teams between your teams defenders and attackers. Every 2 hoops scored the defenders and attackers swap so that you get a go at every position.it is fun because you move a lot.

Have you ever played corfball?

natural disasters

do you have any thoughts?

winter sport

This year for winter sport I chose to play Rugby for St Francis Stingrays.

This is the St Francis Stingrays and this is my experience is in the year 5/6 rugby team.
We won, we lost and we improved! My favorite position is 2nd five. I have improved my fitness a little bit since the start of the year. I can tell that because I can run for longer.
Our coach was Steve and he was good because he didn't want us to just win, but to play well and have fun.  
At your school, do you do winter sport and what is your favorite sport?

Math Boards Term 3

This term we are doing math boards .

Math boards are a way of presenting your work.

Here is my one from this week the question is 3 x 30.

I like math boards because you do it in many different ways.

Do you do math boards at yout school?

Reading

This term in reading we have been reading about the environment. I have enjoyed all of the new information that I have now learnt.
For reading this week, my group read this article: Earth's resources

The facts that I now know since I have read this text are:
   
That wood is better for the environment but not if you do not replace the forests.
Less than 1 percent of the Earth's water is ready to drink.
An electronic tablet contains more than 35 different minerals.                           
More than 60 percent of the Earth's land was once covered in trees. Now it is less than 30 percent.
                                                                                                                                                                       
As a result of reading this, I know that we need to plant new forests and to figure out how to use less water.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
I now better understand Earth's resources

So what can you do to keep our Earth healthy further generations?

 

Cross Country 2019

St Francis Of Assisi Cross country

Off we go i'm in the lead. On Thursday my school had cross country  at Walter park. The year 1 and 2 kids ran 500 meters the year 3 and 4 kids ran 1.5 kilometers and me i'm in year 6 me and the year fives ran 2 kilometers and finally the year 7 and 8 ran 3 kilometers.

Okay so I won the race, it was easy because someone let me win (I think). I bet my brother which was awesome.
Next year I have to run 3 ks (3 laps) I'm not looking forward to it.

How long is your cross country?
