Hello.
My name is Woon.
I'm funny.
The next person is Lia.
She is kind.
Thank you.

So far this year, we have learned a bit about the Treaty of Waitangi, such as Hone Heke was the first one to sign it but Kawiti signed it later and put his name above Hone Heke's. Hobson was very sick at the time. A French man, named Baron de Thierry wanted to be the ruler of New Zealand.

We have learned how to write a formal letter of application for class jobs and school responsibilities. We have started learning Spanish and all have a number in Spanish which we say in order instead of taking the roll every morning.

We are learning how to read books aloud for junior students, especially how to enunciate words well and use good volume.

We are practising basic facts and the goal is to achieve 100% in less than 5 minutes.

We have done a 100 Need to Know Spelling Words test and for homework we are learning the ones we got wrong. We have done heaps of handwriting and we have to hold our pens correctly.

On the first day, Mrs Vincent gave us homework which is general knowledge research about New Zealand.
