My fantastic year in year 4

Today I'm going to talk to you about my school year in year 4. At the begining  of the year well close to the begining of the year Room 30 started to create a blog which of corse you know of because you are reading it right now, but at the begining of the year the blog was only one page long and as you can see it is way longer now! [It wasn't as interesting as it is now by the way!]

A few weeks later in the year we learnt about plants and propagation. We planted our own bean seeds and we watered them and gave them plenty of sunlight. They grew so big that some of them are 80cm tall! Then we took our plants home and we are all looking after them thanks to Mrs Paige for teaching us how to plant and grow our beans.

Then a few weeks later some students from Botany collage came to our school and taught us how to play sports such as Netball, Basketball, Rugby, Soccer, and Hockey. We had so much fun that sports were the highlight of our day!

Round about in the middle of term one we went on a trip to the Te Tuhi art gallery in Pakuranga.  We saw lots of interesting sculptures of different shapes and sizes. There was one particular sculpture that caught our attention it was made of full of steel and it was painted with bright and beautiful colours and it was in the shape of a rectangle turned upwards so it looks like it is standing up. We also went on a trip to the Botanic Gardens it was full of pretty flowers and tall grass that for the ants it seems like Mount Everest. There was a place in the gardens that was for kids and it had a gigantic birds nest that you could go inside and pretend that you are a baby bird waiting for its mother in the slow soft cool wind. There was also a place which looked like a playground but its actually a cacti garden with lots of fact cards and information about the plants.

On ANZAC day we made ANZAC biscuits with rolled oats, honey, cinnamon, sugar, and flour. We baked it in the oven at 180 degrees. Then we did the best job test tasting them, they were incredibly tasty. We each had about three biscuits each!

Did you know that Point View has been on televison? Well it has and it has been   amazing to know that some people know what Point View school is and how much fun we have at school. For example we had orca mufti day and the news arrived at our school to film what we were doing. The camera guy bought one of our delicious and wonderful looking cupcakes!

In term two we went to the Auckland Art gallery in the city. We got there by bus it was very exciting. When we got bored we played hand games like I dare you and tic tac toe and paper scisiors rock. When we got to the art gallery my group went upstairs. Upstairs there was a room that was made of glass and hanging on the ceiling were gigantic flowers that every minute opened up really quickly.

One day Mrs Rivett came to visit us in our class room to teach us how to post comments on other peoples blog like our quadblogging buddies if you go to the bottom of the log page you will see the names of other schools in America.

In technology we made some special diggers that aren't  like the ones that you buy at the warehouse it is much better and it isn't for three year olds it fits anyone even adults.

Later in the year a nice lady named Miss Bristoe came to help us get better at learning. She helped us with a-lot of thing such as math, handwriting, writing, spelling, art and she played bash with us. Miss Bristoe is lovely she helped us and she was thinking of becoming a teacher we all hope that she gets the job!

We made some beautiful calenders. We made them by making a picture of a taniwha and then coloured them in with dy! then when we were finnished we let them dry, after a few days of hard work we gave our artwork to Miss Lankow and she gave them to the princibal and the princibal gave them to a calender company! Then we had to wait untill August to get them back but when we got them back they weren't just artwork they were fantastic calenders!

We have done a-lot more if you want to look at more of our amazing year go to the Point View school website.
