2020 About Me

Hi, my name is Iris. I go to Matawai School on the edge of the Waioeka Gorge.  I’m in year 6.  I live on a farm with my parents and brother. I have pet frogs and tadpoles, dogs, used to have some lambs and rabbits. We’ve also got deer, cattle and chooks, plus one goat.


I’m good at soccer and climbing. I feel I’m getting better at Maths and I love writing and reading. You’ll normally find me with a head stuck in a book or climbing a tree. My challenges are trying to climb harder trees. My goals this year are focusing on my own work and getting things done.

I’m looking forward all my schoolwork this year and all the fun I’m going to have. A few of the people who inspire me are Rosie White and  Beauden Barrett. I’m looking forward to share my learning on my blog.

Xmas Party

On Friday evening, my family ha a Christmas party. We invited all our friends. I was playing with my friends. We were eating red currants...Mmm... YUM! Then we were called to have some dinner. We had the classic sausages, scrumptious, healthy salads, even Japanese sushi with decadent creamy rice.
When we finished our supper we went to play and eat currants again. A few minutes later it was time for the lolly scramble! The adults held paper bag as if they were going to have the lollies all to themselves. Then suddenly, sugar filled lollies spilled every where. Loads of kids were quite greedy to be honest. After the lolly scramble I counted mine, 18! I unrapped one and gently lay it on my tongue. It was so saccharine!

Lorde/Ella

Today I was learning to put a attribution under a photo we used.

I enjoyed decorating my poster and finding images of Lorde (Ella).

I found it challenging to get the image onto my page.

My digital learning object shows that I can paste the image attribution under the photo.

Next time I would try and fill in blank spaces.

Monarch Caterpillars

I wrote a piece of writing about our Monarch Caterpillars at school. I think they're really fascinating.
I hope the butterflies at my home lay eggs on my swan plant! I love the colours that the caterpillar's and the butterflies have.

Google Voice Search

Today I was learning  how to use Google voice search.

I enjoyed looking at the funny things that it came up with.

I found it challenging to find the right answer to my question.
