My name

Hello everybody as you know my name is Tia Jessie Porima.  But my name is very special, here are some facts about my name.

My Mum named me. The reason why she named me Tia is because Mum had a next door neighbour and her daughters name was Tia and she loved the name Tia.  So she went ahead and named me Tia.  My middle name is Jessie.  Jessie was my great grandmothers name.  If I had to change my name it would be Jamie but I don't want to.  I hope you learned a few facts about my special name.

A new year 2013

So far this year has been pretty good.   I have meet some new people.   I am sooo proud to say that I Tia am a year six I can't believe it. 

In class we have been doing our home learning covers, learning log covers , and lots more. 

I have one goal it is to keep my writing tidy in all of my books. That way I can keep my pen license. 

I can't wait for a good year to come with lots of cool friends, and of course my awesome teacher Mrs Parkinson.  This year is going to be better than ever.

In class we have been doing quite a lot of things to get to know everybody.  Our  two truths and one lie was one of the activities. I've done mine quite tricky, can you guess it?

My 2 truths and one lie:
I have one brother
I have 5 people in my family
I cannot stand the thought of mushrooms

Our end of year craft

For about a week now team twelve have been working on our owl's. The first thing that we did was we practised doing the running stitch. Once we thought we were good at doing the running stitch we moved on to the whip stitch.After that we got two of our body's. Then we gathered all of the material for our beaks, legs, eyes, wings, and legs. We then sewed all of our things on. When we were finished. that we did the running stitch on the top and sides. Then we stuffed our owl's. Lastly we whip stitched the bottom. I had a lot of fun making owl's.
I hope you get a chance to make owl's.

My photo peach of our farm trip

 
Team 12's topic for this term is "from paddock to palate".  To learn more about our topic we went on a trip to Miss Workman's farm.  When we arrived we went to go find a place to sit in the paddock.  After that we had a look at the milking shed. I found out that when there is lots of noise the cow will pee or poo.  Next we got to taste some milk I loved the milk but some people didn't like it at all. After that we sat down and had a bit of morning tea. Then we had a look at the calves and the other cows.  When we had finished that we had lunch. Julie (Ariana and Brooke's mum) gave everyone some cake.  Lastly we had a fun gumboot throw.  Then we went back to Vardon. I had a lot of fun but one thing I didn't like was when I stood on a big pile of poo.  Other than that it was a blast on the farm.

High Jump

Room12 have been practising high jump for one week now.  The reason why we are doing high jump was because we need some practise for athletics.  Dianne has been a lot of help by giving us tips and setting the equipment up.  We have been using the scissor jump strategy. Each time we do high jump the bar gets higher. High jump is very hard for me but it's nice to have a challenge.  I have had a lot of fun doing high jump.  I hope you have a chance to do high jump:)

Juggling

Juggling

For about two weeks now room12 have been learning to juggle.  First we learnt to throw with  just one ball and practiced  how to throw it from side to side.  After we were really confident with one ball, we could move on with two balls.  So now we have been practicing lots with two balls.  I need to focus with not throwing the balls at the same time, and also throw the balls above my head.  I can't wait to start with three balls but for the meantime I need to keep practising with two balls.  I have had a lot of fun juggling.  I hope you get the chance to start learning to juggle.  It's a lot of fun:)  Click on the link above.
