Hi, today in our reading time we look at how the five finger test works. Have you every bought a book or been given a book and found it to difficult to read. Well the five finger test will help you.

The five finger test works like this.....

2) Look at the words on the page , if you see 5 words you do not know
then this book will be to difficult for you to read.
3) Place your finger and thumb on each the words you do not know.


Now my short review of ….
THEA STILTON AND THE MYSTERY IN PARIS.

The mystery in set in Paris, France and it about the Thea twins . They are given a rose bush and there was letter inside and it said “that she should go to Paris and see what they are doing.” I enjoyed reading the first chapter I want to finish it before I must return it to the library

Maths Clinic

Today was Maths Clinic,it was a Maths Clinic that was happening every Thursday and Friday. It starts at 8:10 am. Some people just come inside the classroom and join in and work. My favourite thing about Maths Clinic is when I get the answer right and talking to class mates or teacher about what you understand.

New Member of the Family

During my weekend my family had a meeting about a new member of our family who is my uncle’s wife. She visited us because we can’t go all the way to Hamilton. She often comes on weekend and sometimes week nights.

When she arrived on Saturday, everyone cheered, hugs and occasionally excited with joy. Eventually she brought some food for our enjoyable feast, following on we said some prayers and until then we had our feast.

Meanwhile the kids went and played on the park, while the adults and caregivers were playing cards. Further more we were all exhausted and tired, because all that running, talking and eating. Although morning , From time to time, i however had the greatest weekend ever. My favourite part of the weekend was when i had to meet my uncle’s wife.I can’t believe it was our first time having a new member of our big family.

Netbook Experienece

Yay! Mrs Tui yelled with excitement, we are going to see our new netbooks. In room 7 class Mr Coakley said "execuse me folks, can you please put whatever your doing in your desks". Finally other teachers came and it was Miss G, Mr Coakley, Mrs Burt and all the other teachers.

Senior syndicate is getting their netbooks yelled Mrs Tui. Everybody's face's was amazed, surprised and breathtaking. i was so thrilled when i first saw my new netbooks, all my other classmates was incredible and unbelievable shocked with excitement. Their was three things that Mr Coakley talked about Safety, Security and Money.Once we were on our netbooks, we had our turnyony fingers ready to turn it on.

Miss G told use that we have to get our turnyony finger so we can countdown from 10 and we will turn it on. I was so gentle that i was gonna poke out one of the letters like having no letters of keyboard in front of you. There was so many intructional to follow at the same time. before we booted our netbooks on we had to entered our emails and our password their came a boom the class dropped their faces with excitement. we had half an hour to play with our netbooks.

Finally we had 4 more minutees to play so we were all worried that they were gonna pack it up. Before we packed our netbooks, we had to learn how to shut down. My group was so angry that we had to get it away from us. My highlight was when we had to play games.

Reflection

* I think Matariki is a important celebration for the Maori's because they celebrate it once a year and Matariki has two meanings which is Mata - Riki ( tiny eyes ) , Mata - Ariki ( eyes of god ).

* Matariki is also a time when good times instruct in the lore of the land forest , birds and fish.It is A relatives time to your family special times and how much they mean to you.

Anzac letter

16 April 1917

1st RegimentHeadquarters

Paris

France

Dear Uncle,

I am so sorry for your friends who have died. I pray for them and I will pray for all of you. Yesterday I was trying to call you at the headquarters, but you were at the battlefield fighting and not giving up and that was like Jesus when he died for our sin's.

Today we are sending post cards to people I don’t really know but I picked you because they are soldiers fighting for our safety .These soldiers are part of the ANZAC force. I am desperate to contact you and find out more information about you and why did you go to the battlefield in WW1.

Uncle, you have been away so long in the war. do you remember how many of us are here, 4 members in my family plus me so that makes 5. I don't know how to contact you, but I'll keep trying until you get my connection with your phone. I can't believe that I am posting a letter to you now, and remember that you will always be in my heart no matter what.

Take care of yourself.
Your wonderful & beautiful niece :)
Nane
