Making Softies

On the last 2 weeks, room 12 was learning how to sew. We started with a little square fabric to practice on, we practice to sew straight lines, curve lines, spirals and any other shapes. We also had to have a wrong side and a right side, so all the knots will end up in the wrong side and so it will look so cool on the right side.
When we did enough practice we went to making our softies, but first we had to plan what our softies would look like and get the fabric that were going to use.
The softies that were doing are owls.
When we've done planning our owls we started cutting them into their shapes. When we've done all of that,  Mrs Parkinson told us to sew our wings, eyes and beak.
 After we've done that we could sew them together, now this is where the tricky part comes we had to do the whip stitch and the running stitch.
I was pretty slow doing my owl but it turned ok at the end.
The early birds who finished early they add some capes and jackets and all other things. We all had fun making our owls.

Swim Safe


On the 12th of November, the senior syndicate went to swim safe. It was really fun and we learnt a lot of swimming techniques, we learnt how to save someones life if they are drowning and I learnt how to do breastroke and swim in a really deep pool. We all had lots of fun. ^ _ ^

Seniors Farm Trip


On Wednesday 7th of November the seniors went on a farm trip. We explored the farm and tasted  the milk, most of the kids liked it but a few didn't. Some of the kids played rugby. We all had lots of fun on the farm.

Paired Writing

In room 12 we've been doing paired writing. Mrs Parkinson paired us up with someone. My buddy was Arzoo and I was her tutor. I've improved by thinking fast what my story is going to be about and putting full stops and commas in my writing. I think Arzoo is much more confident with her writing now than at the start of paired writing and her spelling has improved. The things that challenge me was sometimes I didn't know what was the best word for the story that she was writing about.

My Enviro Poster

This is my Enviro poster, it was kind of like a project for the Enviro agents and for the school but mostly the Enviro agents. What we had to do was make a poster ( by hand or by tech ) and it has to about the Environment.
