Pace      Acceleration      Consolidation

Today I did a basic facts test on stage 7. I have have accelerated and improved in my results and also in fractions and percentages. In my last basic facts test I got 75%. Next I would like to learn how to work two step equations. By the end of this year I would like to be at a stage 8 because I would like to move to the next level to learn even more harder questions.

Henna Designs.

Yesterday for art we used henna liquid to do henna designs on peoples hands and arms. It was so much fun doing. We did it because we have been learning about diwali. Some of us did simple and challenging designs. I was on my own so I did my own. It was so much fun doing. I hope we get to do it again.

Hindu Celebration: Diwali

Hindu Celebration: Diwali

Diwali is the biggest Hindu celebration in the world. It is a five day celebration. The Diwali celebration starts on the 18 October and ends on the 22  October. It is a celebration of lights.

To celebrate Diwali, families give each other gifts, eat sweets and they also light firecrackers. They also make rangoli patterns near their front door to welcome guests into their homes. The Hindus believe that when they clean their house the gods come into their homes.

Today our class made Rangoli patterns with chalk. I worked with Siunipa. It was so much fun doing because it was our first time. Traditionally, rangoli patterns are made with coloured powder or coloured broken rice. Mr Ramkolowan made a rangoli pattern using broken rice.

Throughout the past few days, I have learned that Diwali is an important celebration. I have also learned that not just Hindus celebrate it, everyone across the country celebrates it too. Lastly, I learned that it can be celebrated in so many ways. I had so much fun learning about the Diwali Celebration.
