Red nose

Hey it's me again this time with my red nose on Red Nose Day at Richmond School.

Dress up For Change

Dress up For change was a fund raiser that was to help young people in the pacific. At school we sold wristbands for two dollars it was supposed to be three dollars but our school donated the extra dollar for each friendship band. On Friday we had a dress up day where we could wear our favourite clothes or costumes. I just wore my normal clothes I wear in the weekends. It was a mufti day because we were not wearing our uniform. We had to bring a donation some people forgot and others didn't. I forgot to pay for the donation.  The team who makes the wristbands are vsa. We raised 67 dollars. Vsa stands for volunteers service abroad. Everybody wore their favourite clothes and costumes except for Rodney and John. Rodney and John wore their school uniform. I really liked the dress up for change day.

Fractions

This term we are learning about fractions. Fractions is an activity you do in maths. I have already learned that "A fraction is a part of a whole." A fractional parts have to be even or the same. There are quarters and halves in fractions. 

Today we showed fractions using equipment, pictures and numbers.

Ukulele

Hi it's Michael again. During this term we have had ukulele lessons every Friday. Today we are going to have a concert at half past two. Our teachers name is Matua Paul. We have learnt how to strum three songs. They are We Will Rock You, Don't Worry Be Happy and YMCA. My favourite song is We Will Rock You. We used to be paired into two groups. The only song the whole school is doing is We Will Rock You. We have ukulele lessons after morning tea every Friday. I feel good about ukulele lessons because everybody gets a chance to use a ukulele.
