Hi there, it's Odin & Jack speaking, and we are here to talk about Mrs Leamy's Spanish. At first we learnt the alphabet in Spanish. Then we had a lot of fun when we learnt how to say Spanish greetings. Then we each got a letter, drew a picture and added detail. After that we did our poster and published it. Then we sang a song called "En la finca de papa" (old McDonld had a farm. Then we did a cross-word with Spanish numbers. We hope you come back soon and thank you for reading our blog.

Crumbs & Fried Worms
Through out the year, our teacher has chosen books for her to read to us. Two of our favourite books were Crumbs and How to Eat Fried Worms.
Crumbs was about a boy called Pete and a girl called Maggie and their mum kept buying Bonza's Baby Biscuits for Maggie, which made Maggie get smart and talk, even though she was too young to talk. But in the end it was a trick by the people who made the biscuits. But in the end they sorted it out and there were no more Bonza's Baby Biscuits for baby Maggie. I liked the part when the baby could not eat any more and I liked the part when the baby talks.
Fried worms was about two boys and one boy bet the other boy $50 to eat 15 worms!!! So once a day he ate a worm. He did that for fifteen days!!! Oww!! I liked the part when the boy ate the last worm and got the $50. The stories that Mrs Smith has read to us have been awesome, I always look forward to the next one.

Book Week
Next week the whole school is involved in Book Week. Students will work with their house groups and will go to a different teacher each afternoon (Monday - Thursday) to enjoy a picture book and a related fun activity.
The culmination of our Book Week will be the book character dress up parade at 10am on Friday morning. Start planning your outfit now! You don't need to buy or hire costumes, but you do need to include some clues as to who you are as part of your outfit.
In room 1 we are going to have a competition to see if we can guess who everyone is dressed up as. So don't tell everyone who you're going to be, make them guess on the day. There will even be a small prize for the best dressed. Whanau are welcome to join us for this, we'd love to have you along.

Maths
In maths we are learning to use halves and doubles in quick 10s and 5 questions. At the moment some of us are working on using our 5 times tables in hard questions. At the moment most of us are still working out of the basic facts maths book and few of us are working out of number sense and algebraic thinking. Every Tuesday, we all get put into groups and one group gets to go with Mrs Austin to learn our times-tables and division at the library. The groups that we have been put into are advanced counting and advanced additive. In 100 square the teacher times us to see how fast we can go and our challenge is to get whole 100 square finished in 5 minutes, if we don't we have to change into a different colour pen and put down our time as 5 minutes+, but if we make it we get to full in the answer's on the whiteboard. If we get it wrong, we write the correct answer in red pen rather than crossing it out and making a big mess. Sometimes if we get all the answers correct we get group points for our group. Our favourite game is add-ups and alien addition because the whole class can understand the games and understand the questions really well, even if the questions are hard or easy. Our most favourite game is add ups because we can improve our maths and go up a level in maths. Some of the kids really like playing Alien addition because the question's are very interesting, and some are easy and some are really hard. A lot of us really need to focus on our division and our seven times table.
Lots of kids like using their 5 times tables. All of the kids in Room 1 are working on their 7 times tables because we are all on that level. We all like learning about add-ups because it is all about adding numbers up and how numbers work. Lots of kids in Room 1 really like doing 100 squares.
