Symmetry

WALT create a pattern with one line of symmetry. 

My butterfly will look the same (identical) on both sides.

We can check by using a mirror.

What I did was I folded the paper down the middle and cut it in to a shape of half a butterfly but I am still colouring it in.

The colour will match on each side

My brother stayed at my Nana and Papa’s house. Next we went to the Lily Pond and we stayed there for 10 minutes. My sister went running in and when I got there I was running in too. Then my Mum came in. Then my Dad came in and my Dad put me on his shoulders and I jumped off. After that we went back up to the car and me and my sister had the rest of our mountain dew. My Mum had the rest of her Fanta then we went to the beach to go fishing. My Dad caught a king fish and my Mum caught a king fish. My Mum and Dad’s fish were long. Me and my sister got a snapper.Then we ate my sisters fish. I didn’t eat any because I don’t like fish I think It’s yucky. It’s only my Sister and brother and my Mum and Dad that like fish. I would never try fish.

Recount writing:Football in NZ

Football in NZ. Football is the number-one team sport in the world. It’s played by about 250 million people! First reason why football is so popular in NZ is because many people believe that football players don’t get as many injuries as those who play other contact sports. Second reason why football is so popular here in NZ is because a lot of Kiwi kids play football because it’s seen as a safe sport. Another reason why football is so popular here in NZ is because In November 2017 men’s team the All whites played peru. For hundreds of years, people played games that involved kicking balls around. So in Conclusion that's why football is so popular in NZ.

At the beach in Paihia.

On a hot sunny Saturday me and my family
went in our van to the beach in Paihia for a swim.

The first thing we did when we got there
was my sister had to put on her togs
but me and my brother just went straight into the water.
When I touched the water it was cold as ice.
Then me and my brother had a water fight.
When I squirted him I also tackled him.

My brother was angry with me so
I jumped out and stayed on the hot sand.

Me and my sister made a sand castle.

I enjoyed helping my sister build a sand castle.

It was nice. Next we went fishing.
My dad had a big red fishing rod.
My Mum had a blue one and me,
my sister had a yellow one and
my brother had a black one.

My Dad and Mum caught a snapper
but me, my sister and my brother caught nothing.
We were feeling sad so then we went to get some crabs.
We caught 30. We gave my papa 12 and we gave Uncle 10.

It was an amazing day at the beach with my family.

Recount Writing-At the Pools

28.3.19

On a sunny Sunday me and my family went to Whangarei pool’s for a swim. My sister and my Mum stayed in the cold pool because there were 3 pools, two warm ones and a pool that was cold as ice.

First me, my brother and my Dad had a race to the deep end. My Dad won. I came 2nd, my brother came last.

I could touch the ground then me and me and my brother got a doughnut floaty thing.

Next my Mum and my sister came beside my Dad and my brother and me.

The pool was halved. There was a piece of thick string across the pool. My sister had to stay in the shallow end because she could not touch the ground.

After that my Dad and brother and I went down a big slide. It went outside and then it came back inside. Then my Mum came to the big slide. My sister could not come up to the slide because you have to be 7 or over and my sister is only 6 years old. When my Dad and my brother and mum got to the bottom, my mum went by my sister. After that we went to the hot pool because we were too cold.

Finally when my mum wanted to get out me and my brother did not want to get out but my dad told us to get out so we did. Then we got ready to go home.

We had a fantastic day at the pools.

In our Tautoro School community.

There are to many people on the playground
so we need a bigger playground for the junior’s it’s to crowded.

Why is a bigger playground needed by our
Tautoro School community.

Firstly why a bigger playground is needed
is because our old playground is to small for the juniors.

Secondly why a bigger playground is needed
is because there are to many kids playing on
it at play time and lunch time.
A new playground will be much bigger for them to play in.

Lastly why a bigger playground is needed is because  
there are accidents and a bigger playground will stop
all of the accidents because there's more room.

So in conclusion these are all the reason’s why a bigger playground
is needed by our Tautoro School community.
