Today I learned about a mixer and how to use it

Abel Tasman was a Dutch explorer who was the first European to discover New Zealand.He named it Staten land.

He sailed around the outskirts of the land and mapped the country.

Later, Dutch cartographers  renamed it Nieuw Zeeland after the province they came from,Zeeland (Sealand).

Even later on, a British explorer named Captain Cook was the first European to set foot on the land and renamed it New Zealand to anglicise.

Today in music class I learnt how to draw a treble chef

We are learning to make our own song

Here is my song

This is the Maths we do in R5

In room 5 we do handwriting and Ms V gets us to write our own poems at the bottom and here are two of mine.

The Moon:

The stars are shiny

That shoots in the sky

When nobody sees

It lights up the night sky

Puddle:

The rain drops down

The rain becomes liquid

It forms into a puddle

Then the sun drys it away
