Omatua camp

 Totara Whanau went to omatua camp and we had lots of fun and this is what we did. We stop on the way at Puketapu park and I had a turn zooming on the fling (flying) fox. My favourite part of camp was when I went to Weka for the night we rosted (roasted) marshmlos (marshmellows) over the fire.

Calendar Art

Room 12 made handprint and foot print art.  I made a monkey and I dyed a yellow background.  I had to paint my hand to make the monkey.  I had to paint the eyes white.  I did a tree by my monkey.  

When I was making my calendar art I stopped and showed GRIT by not giving up.

I saw a nice picture of a monkey that looked quite interesting, I wrote footprint and handprint art in Google to find it.

I feel happy about my artwork because I worked hard at drawing the tree.

My challenge was putting the eyes on the monkey.

Skimming Reading Strategy Term 3 Week 4

Skimming is easy to do.

2.   look at the title.
3.   look at the picture. 
4.   look at the chapters.
5.   look at the starting sentences and   finishing ones.  

WALT skim an unknown text so that we can QUICKLY get an understanding of it.  I can decide if a book has useful information I need,or whether I want to read it for pleasure.
