Today I'm blogging what Christmas means to me. Hope you enjoy.
What does Christmas mean to me? To me Christmas means that I can spread joy full out my family and friends. I mostly go to church on Christmas days. Well everyone knows that Christmas is not about getting presents it is about giving to one another and also about celebrating Jesus’s birthday and to remember what he did and also what he gave up.That is what Christmas means to me.
Hi today I'm going to tell you about what the whole did for fake tuhituhi (writing).
Equipment, what we needed was 1. One pack of Ice, 2. We used a old milk cartoon, 3. A old candle and new candles, 4. Also we used a pan that was heated, 5. Scissors, 6. cooking oil. The Steps: Step 1, get the old cartoons and the scissors then cut the top off of the cartoons. Step 2, get the oil and pour it into the cartoon then spread it around. Step 3, melt the old candles in the pan. Step 4, add the new candles in the centre of the old milk cartoon place the Ice surrounding it then add the melted candle wax and poor ti into the cartoon. Step 5, then leave it to seattle for about 24 hours.
During the experiment the melted candle wax smelt nice, then after the teacher poured the wax in the Ice cartoon it splashed all over there was a big ish burning sensation.
Today I have been reflecting on what I have done during november. What I needed to do was wr down what the problem of the month in maths and plenty more. I really enjoyed looking back at what I did.I am very sorry for not blogging it's just that last week we had nothing to blog.
Today for cybersmart we are learning how to use color in art on our chromebook. The first step I did was go on cybersmart on our learning hub. Then I went to the link watched all of the videos and learnt how to color in the picture and download it onto my blog. That's when I got into the coloring, It was quite hard to pick the picture that I wanted. Hope you enjoy, blog you later.

Today at near the end of the day I did a recruit task for reading and I also want to blog another blog post. It was tricky for me to draw the outline of my drawing. It was easy for my to colour in the logo and the barcode. Hope you enjoy my drawing.
Today I have been working on one of my recruit tasks. it was to draw a picture of fort harmony because that is a building that one of the characters in the book went in. It was tricky for me to do the detail but it still doesn't look that great, It was easy for me to do the welcome sign in my drawing.
Yesterday and today I've been working on a spooky house made out of coloured paper. It was tricky to screech the picture out of my mind that I had. It was easy for me cut my drawing from the colored paper. What inference means to me is to look for evidence to support the answers, like a detective. The house has been for sale for years ever since that old crazy scientist died.
This week is Guy Fawkes week but it is also known as Parihaka. This week for reading my class did a task about Parihaka. We had to find 8 fact cards about Parihaka and made the facts into a feathers. I will tell some part of the history. It is about two Maori chiefs called Te-whiti-o-Rongona and Tohu. They were trying to protect their village from the pakeha who were trying to take their land. I hope you enjoyed that little part of the Parihaka history.

Dear Tracey,
I am writing to you to thank you for the effort you put into our camp and our camp group.
I’m very sure that everyone in our group and in other groups enjoyed your company as well because you were helping with the flying fox, and helping with cleaning up lunch when another group was on for lunch.
One of my favourite highlights in my favourite activity was the flyfox! Once I got up with my harness then started zooming down I was also singing songs like “I came in like a Wrecking ball” and “Before you go.” After I hit the tyres I got a huge wedgie.
But once again thank you for helping on our Year 5&6 camp. We all enjoyed your company, especially me. You're the best helper for 2020.
Ngā mihi

Last week all the year 5&6's went to Tui Ridge Camp for the hole week. Even when we got there we had some fun and not so fun activities. Through the week a lot of people pushed themselves out of comfort zone. We got back on friday last week so on the next monday at school we had to take photos from camp and make it into a video, I used wevideo.
This week my group green lanterns are reading a book called jungle law. We are aspost to rewrite a text from one page of the book jungle law. It was tricky for me to edit the text to make it look like geronimo stilton. It was easy for me to find positive pictures to use.
On the first week of term we have had a few camp meetings. One of those meetings is about our Tui Ridge camp rules so we know that we can be safe when at Tui Ridge. But like I said in my previous blog post about Tui Ridge, we are going there next week on tuesday. My digital learning object shows that I can make good rules and good choices and stick to them.
Next week I'm going Camp at Tui Ridge near Rotorua.

This week for reading green lanterns are reading the Apple Tree Delima. We are aspost to pick a word that we think is the best to describe the dad from the story. We are also aspost to contrast the dad character and another dad character from tom gates.
It was very tricky for to find out a very good why do it.
It was easy to write the difference between Jill's dad and Tom's dad.
Today for writing I'm doing a letter to the Editor. So it is basically when you get a newspaper on one page it will say that letter to the Editor. So that is why I'm writing letter to the Editor about our Rerenga awa.
It was easy for me to know what I was going write down.
It wasn't really tricky for me for the letter to the Editor.
Here is my letter I wrote to the Editor.
Dear Editor
I believe that at Saint Mary's School we are trying our best in planting New Zealand native trees and bushes to encourage native bugs and birds to breed in the Rerenga Awa. We are also trying to make our awa nice and clean so freshwater life can live there. But we can’t do that because Saint Mary’s School has tried to contact the council to get rid of all of the blackberry growing on the river bank. But they aren't responding in any way. I firmly believe that the council should come and clean up the blackberry in our Rerenga Awa so we can keep planting more native trees.
Yesterday for cybersmart we had to do two tasks to blog I did my first so now I'm doing my second. Room 1's task was to do Artnet, it's basically when you take one photo and it makes it into 4 different colored photo's.
