Week Four Already

Mrs Vincent has been challenging us to our full potential. We have been studying the Treaty of Waitangi and why it was needed to bring law and order to New Zealand. The Treaty of Waitangi is the founding document of New Zealand; it was signed in 1840.

On Valentine’s Day we wrote a poem by Robert Burns called My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose. We also heard it put to music, which was lovely.

Note from Mrs Vincent: In the You Tube video below, can you hear that the singer has changed the words from '"bonnie lass" to "bonnie lad"?  Also, she has changed the words a little bit. See if you can work out which words she changed.




Mrs Vincent has been reading us Castaways – a book about the ship wreck of the Dundonald. We are almost finished Chapter 2.

We have been learning how to upload videos posts and pictures on our very own blogs at  kidblog.org. We can update them as  often as we like. It is fun creating our own blog and uploading things. Kidblog.org is easy to use and it's completely free.

Once a week we have a quiz on current events recently seen on the news. We also do Anthology ( a collection of pictures, drawings and poems).  It is good to learn how to publish work in different styles. Mrs Vincent has been teaching us about simple sentences -  the name basically explains itself.
