Italy

This week I have been learning about Italy.  I learnt my teacher's name in Italian.  Miss Power is Perdere Potere.  Every morning when we did the roll I said that and it seems that it made Miss Power laugh. 
I've learnt of the recipe for pizza.  There's lots of things that you can put on pizza. 
We rang Mc Donalds in Greymouth and asked them for a price on 6 chicken nuggets.  In Greymouth the chicken nuggets cost $5.80 and in Italy they cost $7.30 New Zealand dollars.  That was interesting. 

Ink Tapa

Ink Tapa

This week we have been doing Ink Tapa in T3. Tapa  is a a piece of art work  made in countries like Papua New Guinea  and Fiji.  We use ink and copied a diagram of what it looked like. 

Next we have to put some tea onto it to stain it.

Shopping for ingredients

On Thursday morning, I went shopping for ingredients for our cooking day.  We were going to make pancakes.  We needed self raising flour, milk, bananas, mixed berries, eggs, sugar, maple syrup  cream and butter.

They tasted DELICIOUS!

High school

On Wednesdays I go to the high school because I will be a year 9 next year and year 9's do go to the high school.  Horse riding and technology, that does keep me busy all day on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Last week I went to science class for a change instead of the walk around I usually do.  We learnt about electricity and tested some things to see if electricity went through them or not.  We found out that if you plug a pencil in to electricity, it could catch fire!!!
I really love the bus ride to Hoki, sometimes we take a short break and walk over some bridges.

Face and Place Value

Place Value: Place value is
what the number is worth.

In this example:

67,654- the place value of the
7 is 7,000  (seven thousand),
because it’s in the thousands
column.

In this example:

215,678-the place value of the
5 is 5,000 (five thousand),
because the 5 is in the
thousands column.

Bike Riding

I have a black bike and I like it. My o.t Sarah is the bike expert and she joined me this Thursday.  We went around the big block 3 times.  We timed each lap,  the first was 12 minutes,  and the last two laps were both 10 minutes.  So i improved my speed.
