Origami with our Japanese Students

By -
Before the Japanese students left we learnt origami.
We made a balloon,camera and a fortune teller. One of the Japanese students made a flying crane. 
 
The balloon was pretty difficult. But we figured out how to make it. The fun part was when we got to blow into the balloon. 
 
Anna had a competition with one of the Japanese students Rei. The competition was to see who was better at origami. Because Rei kept on asking the other students so he took ages, and Anna won the competition.


Then we skyped Room 8 at Melville Intermediate to show them what we had made.
Did you like our origami?
Did you get some tips on how to make some origami?

    I loved doing the origami with the japanese students.
    I have been trying to do the origami at home but it is too tricky for me!!!
    I thought we were lucky to do that because we were learning something new.

We read the book The Tree House Treaty by Wiremu Grace.   The children in the story built a tree hut in a big old Pohutakawa tree.  They made a treaty to agree how they could all use their tree hut fairly. We created our own class treaty to symbolize how our class is a friendly and supportive learning environment.

Writing - Swimming

Getting Wet I was jumping up and down singing ‘ring-a-ring-a-rosies’. My goal was getting wet so I tried and tried to get wet until my nose touched the water. Then I had done it! When I was jumping up and down singing ‘ring-a-ring-a-rosie’ I thought it was helping me to move in the water. I was still a little frightened of splashes the people made but day-by-day I got braver and braver. Swimming even helped me float with the board. I love swimming. By Rafeea My Swimming Goal I zoom through the open gate door. I zoom inside the open girls changing room door and I got changed very, very, quickly. I got out of the girls changing room and waited for my turn alongside the gate. Now it’s my groups turn to get in. I slide in the safe way. It was cold and chilly in the pool. My group is swimming lengths. My goal was pinkie finger out before the others for backstroke. I have to float on my back, get my motor legs ready, my ice cream scoop hands ready, and push off. My mot...
