Technology problems

We have been having computer problems and haven't been able to get on-line for OVER A WEEK!!! It has been very frustrating and we haven't been able to write any blogs. We are really busy trying to complete work that we are doing for Show Day on Wednesday when we bring our pets to school. We have been doing pet posters, art, poetry and digital photos!! Hopefully we will be finished tomorrow.

jewelery making

Today we have had the BEST day, because Marg came at 9.30 and taught us how to make paua shell jewelery. We even put silver on it. First we designed on paper, then we chose our design and traced it on to sticky paper and put on the paua. We drove up to Margs house and she cut the shapes out. This part was really tricky. Then Marg used the diamon cutter to cut the shapes out in more detail. We weren't allowed to use this because it was VERY dangerous. It had water going onto it and poor Marg got her hands FREEZING! Then we used the sander inside and made it smooth. This took ages. We came back to school and traced our silver. We transfered this to sticky paper, and put it on the silver. Marg had to cut it out with a very sharp blade. We had to scratch the under side of the silver so it would stick and sand the edges. Then we got the glue and stuck our silver on. Marg took the pauas home with clamps on them so the silver sticks. Next week we are going to finish them.

Think fast run fast

On the last Thursday of term three it was cross country day . I was so excited in the car. When I got there I was shaking with nervousness. When it was Stephanies turn we kept on cheering for her. Then next was the 5 year old's turn. I cheered for Jessica Rose. Next it was Hannah's turn. I said "Wow look how fast Hannah can run". Then it was the 9 year olds race. I was shivering. "Boom!" went the bricks. I zoomed around the track and I passed ten people.

I came 10th. I was so proud of myself after my race.

Holiday fun

On the last week of the school I was so excited because my cousins were coming. As soon as they left our bedroom was a pigsty and there were toys all over the floor we couldn't even see the floor! While our cousins were here my dad cleaned the pool!
