Term+4

= = =Week 1= =Tuesday 25th October 2011=

==== No!!!!! My last term at GHS ( Gulf Harbour School ). I am going to Whangaporoa ( Don't know how to spell it ). ==== ==== To start the term we went to the stardome. We went on the bus at about 9:15. On the bus I sat next to Bree. When we arrived we ate some morning tea. Later on we got to go inside the stardome to watch a short clip about the solar system. Afterwards we got to have a look around the stardom, at the planets and all. After that we went into this small room and got quized on some. Showing which planets were closet to the sun and what not. After we finished looking at the stardom we got to go eat lunch and play around the park. I had a great day and it was heaps of fun. The best way to start the term. ====

==== Wahoo!!! one more girl, that makes 11 girls in our class since Jessie came back from america. Her name is Awatea. Well today in the first block we got given 3 things to do. Here are the there: ====

1. We had to write down a stardome reflection including 5 discoveries and 3 wonderings.
==== 2. We had to research all the planets ( Apart from the dwarf planets. ) and fill out an organizer which Miss Mayall made for us. We would have a 3 star criteria. we could aim for 1 star which would be 1-2 facts. 2 stars would be 2-3 facts and 3 stars would be 4+. Which Jessie and I aimed for 3 stars. We actually did in every box 1-3 facts. ====

==== Today in the first block we did maths ( I'm pretty sure ) for basically the whole block learning about directions and all. Second block we did RLL ( Real Life Learning ) which is learning about space. Last block we had library which was quite relaxing and then we had an awesome water fight!!! ====

First the year 6 girls was sprints, I watched them and cheered them on. Second block was shot put which I could do but didn't do very well. After that was high jump which I didn't do so I helped Miss Mayall with sprints. Last block was discus which was fun and I didn't do very well in. After that was long jump. I asked Miss Mayall if she needed help but she said I could go back to class. Well that was the day. A very long day.
