Corban Art Centre BY Jasmin

On Friday we went to Corbans Art Centre for a school trip.We learnt who Corban was and that before it was an art centre it was a winery! 

It looks like a a very old factory,towering above the other buildings like a sky scraper. But inside it looks as welcoming as a warm fire.

At the art centre we made some awesome portraits.First, we mixed some colours and painted our boards,(they were made of wood) then we gave them to the hair salon people who dried them with hair dryers! 

I wonder if Corban had a good life.💜

Maths

We have been learning a new strategy.  It is called place value. It's pretty hard because you have to add numbers together. You have to use your brain a lot because you have to add two numbers together because that is how it's works.

First you add the first two numbers together and then you add the last two numbers together and then it tells you the answer. We are going to give you  an example 37 + 42 = ? 30 + 40 =70 then add the ones 7+2=9 so it =79

Thank you for listening and bye bye for now! By Frank and James.

The Secret strategy ( dah duh dah!) by barnaby and zephyr

We both have developed a strategy! Thank you, thank you fans! Oh, no need for us to do a dance for you all! Okay, okay,  we will sign your autographs if we have to! Silence, silence, please crowd! Keep of the stage please crowd! Stop trying to annoy us people! Okay now, ahem, this is our strategy! It is used for fifths only! Here are the steps that will lead to success in fifths! Firstly, you have to get the number that you want to solve and double it! Hurrah! Then you take the last number off! And then, you show it to your teacher and say you think you have got it right!

                 THE END :-)XXXXX           

 

My favourite adventure By Enzo

A week ago I did some of the Hillary trail. Our Mum dropped us off at a campsite called Craw campground. We stayed for the night. In the morning we set off for the big long walk. We started in the farm we got into the cow paddock. We started the bushy bit it was mostly down. Then we came to a river and crossed it. We walked with Wainimu lake. Finally we reached glamping.

I felt relieved.

Lola's Snapper

My big fish.

On Tuesday I went fishing with my Mum and Dad and it was really fun.The fish was really shiny until my dad had to kill it with blood coming out because it swallowed the hook but my Dad got it out luckily.
The snapper was a gold yellow colour and I liked the colour of the fish.

MUNCH  MUNCH yum yum yum!!the end.

The Storm By Charlotte

The dark grey clouds loomed over head.  Rain poured down like tiny fish.  The lightning shoot down like a golden arrow.  As the rain poured down lots of tiny sparks flooded out of the lightning.  The thunder BOOMED like a BIG, BIG dog from the sky.  I wonder what it would be like to be in a storm like that!

Going to America By FRANK

When I went to America it was winter. I was happy because that meant I could go snowboarding. I went there because I wanted to see my cousins. They live in Houston. 

They have a batch in Houston my cousins  names are Mark and Jacob. Mark is 9 and Jacob is 12. When I got to Houston I went snowboarding with my dad. We went down a very steep hill I tripped over. 

I got a small bruise on my left leg still hurts.
