Animation

Today we did some animation. I decided to do one of my favourite animals (a dog)! The dog is picking up a bone then burying it. The brown circle is the hole where the dog puts his bone and then covers it up with more dirt.  I think he looks pretty cute, don't you?

Sassy Skipping!

This is me having SO much fun skipping. We are practising double dutch. When the other kids are twirling the double dutch skipping ropes around it looks like a GIANT EGG BEATER! Anyone who tries the double dutch looks like the egg in the beater! I LOVE skipping by myself and others too. I really like skipping with my friends at school. I'm glad I have comfy NIKE sneakers!

New Bunnies!

These are my new bunnies I got after my birthday. Sugar is the brown & white one and Fern is the mocha - coloured one. They are very friendly. Their favourite thing to do is eat, eat and eat!!! When I let them have a play, they do  little ballerina twirl because they are happy! Their favourite foods are kale, brocoli leaves, lucious green grass, sweet dandelion leaves, crunchy dandelion stalks, carrots, apple, acacia, fresh plantain,big dock leaves and willow leaves and twigs. They are friends with the cat. Their birthday is in March. They are very lucky because they have a two-storey hutch! I haven't given them pellets yet, but I'm going to try soon! Sugar's fur is like thick, fluffy velvet and Fern's fur is fluffy, smooth silk.

My Graphing!

Today we were learning to use graphs. We were collecting data and using the data for our graph. My favourite part was customising my graph. I used my favourite colours. We made our blocks 3D. I made it different fonts, and also made it italic. I would enjoy making a graph about different colours and breeds of bunnies. From my graph it looks like Winter was my busiest blogging month.

Pepeha 2020

Today we used Tour Builder and Screencastify to make a video clip about our Pepeha. We had to take a video on screencastify and add marker on to a map on Tour Builder. The hardest part was finding my Maunga. This was my first time using tour builder it was fun. Here is my work.

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.
