Disecting Flags

During the holidays I made a pillow with my Mum.  It was made out of an old torn Maritime flag that I got from my Dad. 

 First we cut the stars out of the ripped end, and then we disected the flag into two pieces, the ripped and the nonripped.

Then we sewed the stars on the plain side of the flag, but we left a bit open and stuffed it full of stuffing.  Once the stars were full I sewed them shut. This is a technique called appliqe. 
Then we put it all together, made an inner and sewed it up.  This is what it looks like all together.

Water Safety

This is my graph about the rainfall in these areas .
On Saturday Kaeo and Oruru had no rain.

Swimming with Lee Ann

On Thursday Lee Ann came and taught us freestyle. We had to do lots of drills before we finally got it. I didn't get it after that anyway. The first one was kicking with flutter boards then we did the Superman. You lie on your body face down with your head right down. Put your arms out like superman and kick.

Assertions and graphs

We are learning to make graphs and collect data, I made one.
Assertions are where you think somethings going to happen before you research and find out.
I made a assertion that David Williams was the most popular author in the class.
I was wrong, Roald Dahl was.
