A collage of myself

My homework was to make a collage about myself.The materials I used were: paper, pictures from magazines,stickers, glitter and a felt pen. I wrote adjectives to describe myself. I wrote happy,wonderful,creative,positive, helpful and girl. The next thing I did was get an A4 black paper. I then pasted the pictures on the black paper. Next I glued the picture of myself, my name and words that described me. I pasted the black paper on top of a white paper to make a border. I then pasted it onto a coloured background. Lastly I used a plain yellow paper as a contrast. I enjoyed making my collage. By Vondra

Bean Bag Throw

We are learning to measure distance in metres and centimetres. This graph shows how far we can throw a beanbag. Vondra threw the beanbag the furthest. Ria threw the same distance as Chycane. Venetia threw further than Monish. What statements can you make about this graph?

Learning how to measure

We used a metre ruler and a measuring tape to measure the height, length, width and depth of objects around our school.

Making scrambled eggs

I learned how to make scrambled eggs in Mrs Green's technology class. Now I can make breakfast for mum and dad. Equipment you need: tablespoon, plate, grater, small bowl, fork and knife. Ingredients: 2 eggs, milk, butter, grated cheese and bread. Method: Crack the eggs into the bowl. Beat the eggs with the fork. Cook in the microwave for 30 seconds. Remove from the microwave and stir in two tablespoons of milk and place into the microwave for another 30 seconds. Add the cheese and cook for another 30 seconds. Serve the scrambled eggs on buttered bread. Enjoy! By Moziah

Thank you Rotary club

The year 4 children of Otahuhu Primary were happy to receive their dictionaries. This is what some of the students had to say. Now I can use my dictionary when I am doing my homework. The dictionary has lovely illustrations and labels to help me to understand the meaning of words I do not know. My vocabulary list is very long because I am adding new words every day. I'm also learning the different parts of speech. My spelling has improved and I can spell difficult words. The dictionaries are useful for children that can't afford to buy one. I'm going to keep my dictionary safely on my bookshelf. By Chi-Chi

Mini Olympics

The year 3 and 4 children walked excitedly to the hall to begin their mini olympics. The first event was the frog long jump. We had to bend our knees and jump as far as we could. The marathon shuffle was a little difficult because we had to lean back and shuffle on our hands and feet. I could feel the hard ground. Volleyball hover was the most exciting event because the children had to juggle the balloon to the finish line.It was really tricky because we could not drop the balloon. If we dropped the balloon we were disqualified. Doing the hula gymnastics was fun because it was like doing the hula dance. Running to the finish line while swinging the hula hoop around your waist is not easy. While the music played the children had to do the high jump limbo. Two people held the ends of the limbo stick and another person had to lean as far back as they could and go under the the limbo stick. Trying to balance the beanbag on our heads and walking to the finish line without dropping it, was not very easy. The children walked very slowly and steadily to keep the beanbags from falling off their heads. The day ended with receiving a gold, silver or bronze certificate. It was an enjoyable experience participating in the mini olympics. I learnt the values of determination,friendship, equality,excellence,courage,inspiration and respect. By Rajeena

Book of Similes

We had to choose a background and a picture to match our similes. We learnt how to layer the background and picture by removing all the colour around the picture. We are now using the similes in our writing. Our book of similes
