Space Inquiry

This term we have been doing an inquiry about a topic we chose to do. I chose space and have found out some interesting fact that some of you would not know, like Saturn and Jupiter are gas planets and Mercury and Venus. The inquiry we are doing is very interesting and we hope we learn lots more about space.

Jessica's Poems

The Cats Meow
Cat’s meow is the sliver lining
Raindrops on roses is the beauty
Kisses on cheeks is the love
Whiskers on kittens is the moon on
Poets in love is the most beautiful thing that You will hear, read, feel, live, and love

Winter
Winter is like thirty minutes to live your life
Because next day you might not open your Eyes to see the dim rays of the sunshine Making her mark bleaching the frozen snow Slowly painfully getting chaffed by the Slightly cold warm rays of the sun peering Longingly through the clouds as it disappears Into nothing like you’ve ever seen

The picture in Black and White
Why do you love me what is it about me that Makes you love me it’s you being so quiet and Loving that makes me love you so

On Tuesday the 17th of August we had a visitor called Bob. He works in a very famous libary.
And he came in to talk us about book week. He also came into to read some books that have a very bland cover but are very interesting in the inside.
I think he was a very creative person and we really enjoyed him coming in.

Bobs visit to fendalton school

On Tuesday the 17th of August durning book week Bob came to visit our school. He talked to us about some amazing stories. We used to jugde a book buy its cover but now we judge it buy the plot. It was fun having bob.

Bob's vist

Bob was from the New Zealand national library service. He told us about cool stories eg(The London Eye Mystery). I learnt that you can't judge a book by it's cover. Bob also told us some poems, tragdies, comedy and horror. They were very interesting!!

Bob's Visit

At school on Tuesday we had Bob, a head librarian from the national library. Came to our school and gave us a few explanations and recommendations and gave us some knowledge about the great books that live in our library and in some of New Zealand's greatest book stores. The first book he gave a explanation was called 'Running Wild' which is about how he understand and misunderstands the ways of nature and peoples behavior. It has a brutal death of four orangutans who got shoot by poachers, and left three baby orangutans orphans.

The one that I want to read is about a boy, who is the fastest in the world, and no one can beat him and he wants to play for the warriors. he got in to the warriors.

Our vist from Bob

On the 17th of August, we had a special visit from Bob, one of the New Zealand's National Library's librarians. He showed us some very interesting books. He showed us picture books, chapter books, graphic novels, horror books and really funny books. We all really enjoyed his visit.

Our experience with Bob

Do you judge a book by its cover?
well today we found out what you see is not what it seems some books have dull covers but fascinating stories inside.In the middle part of the day on the 17th of august bob from the New Zealand national library committee came to talk to us about how you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.He showed us several interesting stories which would relate to everyone in the likes of mysteries, adventures and many more.Books expand your knowledge and are good to read at anytime.

Bob's Books

Today Bob came to our school and shared some of his favourite childhood books. There were awesome books
such as the Lord of the Nutcracker Men, Coraline and Running Wild. Some books looked really boring but we figured
out the books were awesome after Bob told us about it. He described everything really well about the books. we really liked
Skulduggery Pleasant and THE BOY IN THE DRESS!! At the end we found out that he was from the National Library.

Book week with Bob

On Tuesday 17Th of August Bob from the national library came to our school to talk to us about good books to read. He recommended all sorts of books from picture books to 580 page books. He also made think about not judging books by their covers because some books don't look that interesting but it turns out they are.I thought he was very clever and I enjoyed it thoroughly. So it just goes to show you don't judge a book by it's cover.

My violin exam

Today at 9:30 I had my first violin exam. To pass we had to be able to do 3 songs, scales, ear tests/oral and sight reading. I think I did very well considering it was my first exam. My examiner Mr George Brown was Irish and was very nice. I found out he could play the piano, violin and flute. What I did best was my favourite song called the flop eared maul which was a very lively and bouncy song. Next time I will be doing grade 3 or 4 as I did grade 2 today. It was lots of fun!
