Month: November 2023

For the past 2-3 weeks we have been doing a novel study and one of the groups did ‘Because Of Winn-Dixie and the’ other group did ‘Charlie Tangaroa’. I was in the group chat did Winn-Dixie first. Here is the summary so far-

CHAPTER 1-6

Opal Buloni ( the girl in the story ) a ten-year-old girl walked into a supermarket to get some macaroni she came out with a skinny under fed dog called ‘ Winn-Dixie ‘. When she was in the supermarket the manager of the Winn-Dixie supermarket started to yell ” WHO LET THAT DOG IN HERE! ” But Opal said it was her dog but it wasn’t her dog at all. When they both came home Opal said to her dad the precher ” daddy I found a dog in the supermarket today can we please keep him” the preacher was not very pleased ” we’ve talked about this before no dogs ” but Opal wanted to keep her so badly she kept her even tho the precher did not want the dog in his house. Over time the precher like the dog more and more every day they were together and Opal was happy that she could keep Winn-Dixie as her own. The next day Opal and Winn-Dixie were out on a walk and Opal said they were both like orphans beause they both don’t remember their Mums. When they got home the precher told Opal all about her mother and how they were so alike. But a few weeks after they got to got to a library and Winn-Dixie was mistaken for a bear ” Shes not a bear ” said Opal very protective of her dog.

On the 21st of November we did something called top Team and top Team was a whole bunch of challenges and at the end of the day the top Team would be awarded and they get a certificate. My activity was the sack race, in the sack race two teams had to verse each other and the one team who had the most points before the horn goes wins the game. The two finish lines were only a few mertes away from each other and each time you get over or fall over them you get 1 point, my team ended up with 10 or 11 points before the round finished. I think I was pretty fun.

But the one that I was the best at was also fun it was the giant game of tic tac toe because each time I was the third peice I kept on sliding on the grass so I could win it for the team. We won most of the games, but our team name was the best part of us ‘ The Mighty Girls ‘ beacause we had a whole team of girls no boys. The team that I was in had: Neveah, Amahri , Paige F , Pippa , Eliza and me ( Paige T ). Here is a photo of my team-

Today for art we did a little 3D house for a $500 doller prize from the hits ( its called ‘Build For Bucks’ ). To make the 3D house all we did was: 1. Print out the template 2. Coloured it in 3. Folded along the dotted lines. It’s a really fun process and very entertaining. Here is my 3D house design.

For te reo we have been learning about how to ask what others are doing. We had to do a question and answer google draw and I found it really fun. We had to take a photo of our self and then writing the sentence ” Kei the aha koe? ” which means ” what are you doing? “.  Here is my Google draw ↓
