Room 8 is reading Pennies For Hitler by Jackie French. As part of our learning we had to choose a critical moment from one section of the book. My group chose the scene where the Library is getting bombed and the bombs were killing the people inside the Library. Our rationale for this scene was that the Library was an important part of George’s life…he could no longer go there to read books and learn English. He no longer had that place of comfort.

Today I have done a piece of art work from the SLJ – (Summer Learning Journey) site. I have chosen these 5 different images because it was a really creative art  piece to pick from, and also to challenge myself to choose the right colors for it. I like this activity because of how it has different kinds of colours that people barely use instead of simple colours. I enjoyed this activity so much! Next time I will try and go the extra mile. HAPPY EARLY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Last Friday at school it was Mission Day and in the morning we had a Liturgy with our school outside under the canopy, we had to bring coins for our mufti and put them down at the front. After that we went back to class and our teacher Mr. Bell told us to go to our tables and grab a pencil to get ready for our Te Reo-Athon, He gave out our test and we started writing. After the test we gave our papers to Mr. Bell so he could write the results of how much we got right, then the bell rang and we went out to get our morning tea and had some fun outside.

After morning tea we sat down on the floor and Mr. Bell played us a movie called Spirited Away, while we were watching Mr. Bell called my name first and gave my test results, when I looked at it I only had eighty two out of one hundred but I didn’t mind because I felt glad that I still learnt a lot of Maori words. Then after Mr. Bell gave out all of our test results we cleaned up the classroom and got our bags and lined up outside at the gate and went peacefully home to have a rest. I hope you enjoyed reading my blog post!

This week on Sunday the 8th of May will be Mother’s Day. We celebrate all the mothers out there to have a lovely week with their family and friends. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!
