Ukulele concert

Yesterday we had a ukulele concert at school where our parents, cousins and friends could come. We had it in the library, we were going to have it in the hall but we didn't because it was too cold in the hall so we had it in our cosy library. 

Room one started first then room two then room three. We were playing YMCA and Don't Worry Be Happy. Room one were playing "Row, row your boat" and " Wheels on the bus"

Room two did This Old Man and If Your Happy And You Know It and the whole school played We Will Rock You. My favourite song was We Will Rock You. The staff did I'm Yours" Let It Be" and The Show.

 After the performance the bell rang so everybody was allowed to go home. I hope we get to do it again. I felt good. The reason why we had a ukulele concert was to show off our skills that we had learnt during this term of ukulele lessons. I think we archived lots of things.

Reading

In reading we have just started the D.5. D.5 is a programme the whole school is doing now. Room 2 were the first class to do the daily five. D.5 stands for daily five. I really like the daily five. In the daily five we all have five choices to choose from. Some times we do guided reading that will make it six. The five activities are read to self,read to someone,work on writing,listening to reading and word work. Word work is when you go on steps 2. My favourite choices on the daily five is word work and listening to reading. We have to do read to self or read to someone everyday. On word work you have to get ten golds to play a game. First we use to get three golds second we had to get five golds and now we have to get ten golds because people only cared about their scores on a game called blocks.

ABL

This term we have been doing ABL with Matua Nicholas. We learned five games one is called gong chi fa chai. I love ABL. ABL stands for adventure bass learning. Now room two are doing ABL aswell. My favourite game out of the five games Matua tourt us was gong chi fa chai. Gong chi fa chai is a Chinese happy new year. One of the other games are called chicken head. In the past we have done falling of a table on the stage into other people's hands.

One learning topic

In maths we have been learning how to tell the time and place value. Place value is really easy for me. We use to do basic facts. We use to do addition and subtraction. We get five minutes in each one except subtraction to one hundred. I was not at school when we got ten minutes on subtraction up to one hundred that was because I was sick. I am the only one who finishes addition and subtraction to one hundred that is because I am really fast at it. In time we have been learning how to tell times like 9:45 and 10:15. As well in time we have been half pasts. Half past is when the big hand is pointing at the six. As well we have done o'clock. O'clock is when the big hand is pointing at the twelve and the little hand is pointing at any of the numbers.
