week 3 term 3

This week I've learnt how to make a pillowcase and i'm learning to make a mouse too.Tech arts is my favourite part of the week (apart from Thursday) because I learn something other than maths or literacy.My speech isn't the best topic because it was difficult to think of an interesting topic and make it persuasive.We are learning about the circumference of circles but I still don't fully understand.We finished chocolate selling on Friday and I made an effort to sell three boxes.Our trip to Murray's bay in Auckland is coming up and I need to write a report for the magazine about it.I might even start writing about it while we are there.We had a first aid course provided by St John's on Wednesday.We learnt CPR and mouth to mouth with mannequins ,how to bandage each other,what to do during an accident and lots of other life-saving tips.In extension art I found a new technique to make the criss-cross lines on my peacock canvas and in robotics I started the vex-IQ pack for programming.
