Term 3 Week 4 Post 4

Maths:This week we started adding and subtracting fractions. I think that i would like a little more work on this since I am not the greatest.

Reading: We finished Hugo on monday and started an essay on the relationships in Hugo. I was unable to complete my essay as I was away on Tuesday and Wednesday. I hope to be able to finsish this weekend

Writing: This week we were informed of the Rehu Tai festival. With only two weeks to practice ( I know, short notice much?) Some of us felt a a little stressed. I decided to write about the orcas at seaworld and how I thought they should be living, happy in the wild.

Topic: I learned about the visual features of a Goliath Bird Eating spider and how it uses its hairs to inflict damage to the mucous membranes in the eyes. Its colour depends on which area it lives in. It's a varied sha...
