Welcome to Term 3
Hello everybody welcome back to Term 3 2014.
This term we will be focusing on:
Writing:
Exploring debates and how they are used to problem solve
Speeches:
Our speech theme this term is HRiE. We are to give a three minute speech on something
we are concerned about that has a Human rights focus; this can include animal rights
Reading:
First up - we will be revisiting using full sentences and key words to answer our comprehension questions. Then we will use Blooms Taxonomy to explore inferencing, application and synthesising text.
Maths:
Starting off with multiplication and division, moving into fractions. Finishing the term with Geometry, where we will be sing reflection, rotation and translation to make polysymetric tiles.
P.E:
We have been working on our miniball skills. Hopefully our class will run a syndicate miniball tournament.
Visitors:
We will have NIS ( Nelson Intermediate School) visit this term.
Inquiry:
The key idea is:
As part of the community we share in decisions that build better facilities which enhance Nelson lifestyles. We also contribute towards these facilities.
We aresplit into teams. Each team has a designing team and a planning team. Eventually (after exploring the technology design process) we are going to design a building, something futuristic that Nelson may need, while considering how local Goverments functions and plan for future needs.
Te Reo:
Responding to Kei te pehe akoe? is our focus.

Marcel's Russain Fudge
Marcel's Russain Fudge
On Friday 20th June Marcel the Butcher, Baker, Chocolate Maker came to show us how to make Russain Fudge.
Marcel showed us how to make Russian Fudge which some of us had made before but probably in a different way.His assistant was called Arlene, Marcel was funny just like a comiedien.He really likes making fudge and made his first SUCCSESSFULL batch about ten years ago. Everyone really enjoyed watching how to make the fudge and defenitly enjoyed eating the Fudge.
We were told that in the Himalayas you can't successfully make Fudge because fudge needs to be boiled at 120 degrees and in the Himalayas the fudge boiles at 10 degrees. You also can't make fudge in the rain because of all the moisture in the rain.
The steam that comes out of the pan is from most of the liquid that gets put in.
Overall Marcel is an awesome guy.
Remember to go down to Marcel's in Morrison Square! :)
Russian fudge, from Marcels.
On Friday 20th 2014 Marcel came in to teach us how to make Russian fugue.
He told us all the ingredients, the steps on how to make it and made a lot of jokes!
"Never make fudge in the rain." Was one of his many tips for making Russian fudge.
Everyone likes Marcel, and his assistant, Arlene.
Don't forget to visit Marcel in Morrison Square!
Here are some pictures of us and Marcel making the fudge.
