Panda fishbone description

Kia ora

This is an activity we did when we were learning how to find facts and put them in the right box on  a fishbone diagram. We are learning how to write a report about an animal which is native to China. We are learning about China at the moment because last week was Chinese language week and one of our classmates, Braeden, is half Chinese. The animal I chose was the panda.Something I think I have done well  is finding the information and making sure I got the right facts in the right box. It was really hard but fun.Next time I think I could improve by writing more notes and fewer sentences. I need to just write down key words not whole sentences when I am making notes.Ka kite ano.

Ski Trip 2016

'Yipee!' I yelled. It was time for Ohaeawai School's year 5 and year 6 ski trip. This only happens once every 2 years. I was glad that I got to go this year.

 Once we arrived at our destination we grabbed our bags, sat down on the couch and got told our room numbers. In my room there was myself, Kate, Mia and Lani. Our room was very noisy at night but we got through it. A really cool part was dinner: we got three courses which were entree, main and dessert.

The second day there we all went to hire our ski gear and once we all got it we went to our ski lesson. After that, we all went skiing on our own. I loved going down Happy Valley for sure.

Next, I had a snack and a drink of water and went off skiing and did the same thing again.

At the end of the afternoon, it got boring because we had to go back to the lodge where we were staying and un- pack all our ski gear so it was ready for the next day. We took our lunch boxes out and and cleaned them. Then we all played out side on the playground or played some sports. It was pretty fun. Then we had some afternoon tea which was mostly fruit.

On the third day there we went back skiing but it was our last skiing day. We were all sorry when the skiing was over because it had been a super fun time.

Here is my thank you letter  to Piper's Lodge which is where we stayed during our ski trip. I have included a photo of myself with the trout I caught when we went to the National Trout Centre at Turangi.
I think I wrote a good letter and it was a polite letter.

Dear Piper’s Lodge

I am writing to thank you very much for looking after us so well during our stay last week..

I really enjoyed the whole week because your beds were comfy, your bathrooms were clean and fresh and your meals were delicious. My favourite meal was  the fish and chips.

I hope I can come and stay at Piper’s Lodge again, one day.
