The Best Year Ever!

So far this is the best year I've ever had in Point View School. Every single minute of it was fun!

My highlights this year were mostly the production. It was very fun pratising it with Miss Lankow; she was very good at teaching us the poi dance. The night we preformed the nerves were with me it was really scary preforming infront of this gigantic audience!It felt amazing being on stage I felt totally alive with all the lights and music. Miss Lankow said we did very well and gave us each a gold star. Hooray!

The Water Cycle was also one of my favourites, I was working on the clouds with my friend Olivia. Our clouds were awesomely cool. The wall we did our colage Water Cycle on was like a total masterpiece. Everything went very well together.

I enjoyed the trip to MOTAT, we got to look at heaps of olden day stuff there was this payphone with an olden day phone in it. I rang home and my granny actually answer! I thougt it was a fake one that didn't work anymore but I was wrong. It does work.

I really had fun making new friends and helping the teacher out at lunch time. It was a lot funner than being bored! Playing and going to the library with my friends, they all very fun and outgoing.

I also enjoyed art especially drawing the penguin and Stick Wonderland for Miss Lankow as a  present. Our calendars were cool too we did different animals and coloured them with pastel and outlined it with vivid. They turned out to look amazing.

At technology we made rat traps to help the Kiwis in the Coromandel. In our class three people won a trip to the Coromandel with Mr Rankin and other students including me.

The trip to North Head was awesome too. It was really scary going into the tunnels everyone was just screaming when they got to very dark parts it was very fun though. The beach was amazing. The water was so cool and fresh although we were only allow the water to reach up to our ankles. I wish  we were allowed to go up to our knees. The sand was very soft and the shells were all sorts of different colours and the weather was just right too.

I learnt more about fractions and I learnt how to do Take A Line For A Walk, it was very hard trying to think of different kinds of patterns. I also learnt about double number lines and how to use them.
Learning the ukelele was one of them too. Practising every Thursday for the Ukelele Festival was hard work; my hands were always sore at the end.

The goals I achieve were getting up to problem solving in maths. This year we wrote letters to our Clevedon buddies, Mr Winters (our Bible teacher), parent helpers on trips and our buddy reading class room 7 now, I will never forget how to write letters.

The goals I will be working on next year are learning my spellings words, doing my homework and adding more detail and using different forms of punctuation in my writing.

When I'm in the senior school I am looking forward to being a librarian, one of the people who do the house points and road patrol.

I will miss Room 30 and the different things we did together.  
I wish Miss Lankow could be my teacher once again. :) <3
