First I got on the bus and went to Te Aratai Technology Centre. This term I am cooking.
Today we made pizzas. We used burger buns for the base. First we put tomato sauce on it and then I grated the cheese
I cut the mushroom and capsicum into pieces. I had salami and ham too. When everything was cut up I put it on the pizza bases. Next Bella May put the pizzas in the oven. It was in the oven for 10 minutes.
My job was drying the dishes. And then we had our pizzas
Today I went to dance. We learnt a hip hop dance. We watched a video. There was a man showing us the dance moves.
I was copying the dance moves I followed the instructions I found it easy but I got tired
At the end the next one was called. Just Dance 2021 I remembered this dance when we did it in my class.
I enjoyed it because it’s cool to dance.
From Dante
Today we learnt about changes of state.
A solid becomes a liquid when it is heated with gas.
On Friday afternoons, we do Action Stations. This term, I chose to make Dragon Eyes.
First, we read some descriptions of dragons and identified their characteristics.
Then we completed a planning sheet, considering what we wanted our dragon to be like. We thought about personality, colour and features.
I decided I wanted my dragon to be a boy who lives in the mountains. He is a nice friendly dragon. He is enormous with blue scales and orange eyes.
After, we used the clay. I smoothed it out and I molded it into an eye shape.
I pinched the clay around the eye to make it stand up. I rolled little bits to make eye lashes. I pushed my finger into the clay to make dents along the bottom of the eye.
Finally, we painted them. 
I have been learning to write to persuade to convince my point of view
Doesn’t everyone know that smoking is bad.
It can make you very sick. 1 in 5 NZders die from smoking every year. It can make your asthma worse because you can’t breathe. The fact is that smoking causes pollution.
Cigarette butts take years to break down and are full of toxins.
Most people would agree that smoking is bad
because it smells. Your clothes, your hair, your house, food and your car.
Most people would agree that freedom of choice is
important because living with clean air is better than second hand smoke from a smoker.
So smoking is bad for you and you shouldn’t start smoking.
Yesterday we performed kaupahaka at the Palms Mall. They sang Matariki,E te tau, te tiro mai, nga iwa and the boys did the haka. My favorite part was Matariki
Kia ora we have been learning Maori kupu ( words) for the environment. Here are some.

Here is a link to my mahi.
This term we have been making pukapuka pikitia ( picture books) for the preschool children. I made one about feelings. I chose to use emojis to show the feelings because the children would understand the emojis easier than just words.
From Dante
Here is my book. Ke te pehea koe?
In literacy we have been making “How To’’ posters.
I chose how to make a cup of tea. We have been learning about imperative verbs,adverbs and time connectives. In my poster the imperative words I used were pour, put, stir, squeeze, boil and add. The time connective I used was while.
By Dante.
