We created some lovely Samoan art works based on tapa cloth design. Miss Ferris and Mrs Haronga then glued them onto a table and covered it with cover seal so that we will be able to work at our cool 'up-cycled' table.
Miss Ferris was teaching us how to include detail in our writing. We had to taste something that she brought in and then describe it without actually saying what it was. Here are some of our clues about the first thing we tasted....
It smells refreshing (Jayden)
It smells like a mixture of sweet and sour (Isla)
It feels slimy (Zephaniah)
It feels squishy (Ephrame)
It felt sour going down my throat (Blair)
It made my face feel weird (Kupa'a)
It tasted fresh (Mahstang)
It tasted disgusting (Olly)
It tasted sour (Tanishka)
I saw little seeds (Dawn)
It is the same colour as our school uniform (Sofia/Raymond)
I saw Sofia's scrunched up face (Hannah)
WHAT AM I??????
I am a LEMON!
It was hard to not use words that would give away too many clues too quickly!
We've also been working hard on our Maths, learning about fractions. One activity we completed with Miss Ferris was sorting and matching fractions that had been written as words, as numbers, as part of a whole and as part of a group.
There have been lots of other fun things we've done with Miss Ferris and things we've learnt from her. These are just a few examples. We wish her all the best for a successful teaching career.
Haere ra Miss Ferris
