Number of Blog Posts 2016 - 2020

This is my bar graph about my blog posts from all the years I've been posting at this school. My favourite year when posting was 2017. I enjoyed how I could post about anything including fiction stories I wrote. 

For 2020, I hope to work hard to reach 100 posts about what I think should be adressed personally. Example: the news. My adventure begins!

Doing Fun Art!

 Last week on Friday for art we did tin foil stain glass. To make tin foil stain glass we had cardboard that was quite long and short. Then we had to use a pencil to draw what we wanted on the cardboard. After that Mrs Riley used a glue gun to glue what we drew on the cardboard.  

Mrs Riley put tin foil around our cardboard and we had to tap the back of the tin foil cardboard so that it doesn't come off. The fun part was when we could dye it and colour it and be creative. It was fun dying the tin foil stain glass but the tin foil rips a little.  I had a fun time doing art!

The Amazing Michel Mulipola!!

This week on Tuesday a special guest came to Ruapotaka school. His name was Michel Mulipola. He is a wrestler, a illustrator and a professional game player. The surprising thing about Michel Mulipola is that he published his first book when he was only six years old. My favourite thing about Michel Mulipola was that he illustrated one of the books my reading group read. The book my reading group read that Michel Mulipola illustrated was the book in the middle. It was amazing.

Michel Mulipola is a great artist but I learnt that when he draws something he doesn't like it when he draws. He said that while he's drawing he sees there are mistakes and when draws again hes going to be better than he did before. It was a great time meeting Michel Mulipola!

Risks, Insurance and Other fun Things!

On week three on Thursday room 9 and room 10 had Financial Literacy. At first I didn't know what Financial Literacy was but now I know.  There were three girls called Mona, Jordan and Michelle who did Financial Literacy. At Financial Literacy I learnt about saving money, trustworthiness, identity, risks, insurance and other fun things.

My favourite thing that we did at Financial Literacy was the skits, because it was really fun when some people got to present their skit. Also I liked it when we learnt about saving money and I learnt about insurance.

 I had a fun time at Financial Literacy and I had a great time meeting Mona, Jordan and Michelle.

What Is GLOOP?

On Wednesday for reading, my reading group read a story about gloop. In the story the classroom were sitting in a circle and had a squidgy. Squidgy is the classrooms talking stick. One morning when the students came in they saw squidgy's skin popped out. The teacher decided to make gloop. Next week my reading group will be making gloop next week on Monday!

The ingredients to make gloop are:

1.  2 cups of PVA glue
2. 1\2 cup of cold water
3. A few drops of food colouring or dye
4. 2 tablespoons of soap flakes
5. 1 cup of boiling water
