My Polystyrene Homework

My Polystyrene Homework

Our homework for last week was to take home a polystyrene cylinder and make something out of it. I made a pot plant. Here is a photo of me painting it.

It was hard to choose what to do with my homework so I asked my Nana Dowah, she said pot plant, so I went with pot plant.

It was a very messy job cutting out the inside for the pot. We made the lawn look like it had snowed in some parts. My nana help out a lot in this project, I wouldn't of done it without her. Here was the process of my homework:

1. Subject
2. Find plant and pot
3. Cut out hole for pot
4. Paint
5. Touch ups
6. Present

I think the hardest part of my homework was finding the right plant because my Nana has heaps of plants and flowers. The easiest part was to paint the cylinder because I like painting, it is so relaxing.

I think my finished homework is amazing and playful. If I could choose a winner, it would be Logan because his dragon was awesome.

Here is me and my finished homework:

Cross Country

Cross Country

On Monday 22nd August, Ngatea Primary School did Cross Country. I came 11th in my age group. I did not make it into Hauraki Plains. My favourite part in Cross Country was having a lunch order because I enjoyed my juice. Cross Country was fun and muddy. The only part of me that got muddy was my feet and legs. My training really helped me out. My goal for Cross Country was to do my best and have fun. I achieved that goal.

Speech

My Speech

My speech is about the weather. I choose this topic because I want to let students know what what weather is and how it is made. It was hard to choose this topic because I had no ideas, I looked out the window and it hit me. Weather! It was also hard to research and to write the speech. Because when researched something, it would come up with something else. I didn’t change my topic because I was happy with what it was. I am feeling nervous about presenting in my home room. I am not great at presenting in school or anywhere else. I think the hardest thing about writing this speech is research. The hardest thing about presenting this speech is to get the attention.

My Goals

My Term 3 Goals

My Maths goal for this term is to learn my < and >. Because I can’t tell the difference between < and >. I am not on target to achieve this goal. To achieve this goal I need to find old follow up worksheets, copy them and try to work them out.

My Literary goal is to understand words like Ecstatic and it’s meaning. Because I like to read books with a lot of words, but I don’t always know what they mean. I am also not on target for this goal ether. I need to learn to make spelling lists and try to spell big words. And to search definitions and other words like it.

My goal at home is to become flexible like Athletes. I am on target for this goal because I stretch every night.

My favourite that has happened this year is meeting the teachers and the ice skating ring. I am looking forward to the Learning In The Making because I love choosing fun activities. I am also looking forward to impact because I like working with animals.
