We are being watched from afar


One of the main reasons for having our classroom blog is to be able to share what is happening in Room 6 with friends and whanau who are near and far. Looking at the blog statistics over the past month this is really beginning to happen. Look at the graph below and see where our visitors have come form in the past 30 days... do you think that your family are one of the overseas visitors or do you need to send them the link?

Pasta Dinner



Last night I decided to make Pasta for dinner. I used pumpkin, onion, bacon, sugar, oil and pasta. For my first time I used a sharp knife. It took half an hour to prepare because it was a recipe for an 11 year old. We didn't make it with fettuccine, we made it with spiral pasta.

Fishing with Ross


Ross and I drove to the ramp, we put the boat in the water and we sped off to a special spot. I put the line in the water and twenty minutes later I caught a Brown Trout. In half an hour – Zig- the massive fish went under the boat, and then Ross scooped it up in the net because he didn’t want to lose it. One minute later Ross caught a fish.
We turned home, I drove the boat back, Ross put it in the trailer, we drove back and me and Pierson got to play.
