In Mr. Macklin’s class we have a marble jar. Why do we have a marble jar? Well, beacause our class is sometimes really, really, good and that is why we have a marble jar. But how will Mr.Macklin reward us? Every time we are good Mr.Macklin puts around three marbles in the marble jar.When the marble jar is full we get to PARTY! We tell our parents about the party and sometimes they give us chips….etc. So, every time we have a party don’t be sick that day!

This is what happened! It all started when Mr.Davies bought us an iMac. We found out that there’s this software called Photo Booth. we were really excited. Mr. Macklin started to take pictures of us. You can even change the effects you can also make the effects into a mirror where two of you are in the picture. There is an effect where it makes an x-ray of you. There are lots of other things too!

You have been posting so many comments, it’s amazing! Take a look at the comments from Salsabeal’s Talent Show posting. There are two people from New Zealand who have posted there. One is a teacher and one is a student I think. I have added a link on our “Blogroll” to their class site in Auckland. Take a look. They also all have their own personal blogs. Take a look at those too. There are links on the class page. You can post comments on their pages too. 

Mr. M

Guess what?! On Friday the talent show “Century Idol” will be presenting to the parents a nice dance or song or instrumental music such as, piano. recorder etc , but if you are not going to family fun night, you can still see it at school May 8.  I think it will be awesome like last year.  I have seen a lot of talent show performers do thier talent for the show already but a lot are a lot of surprises. So I am looking forward to seeing them. By:Salsa

I love our computer lab, I always have . But I especially love it now because of the new computers. The best thing about it is that they have flat screens. Now of course, there’s not enough flat screens for everyone but if you get there first grab one quick. The other computers are good too. We also have a projector and a screen I have one at home but it doesn’t work and it’s not black or flat screen. so I hope you all have fun on our new computers.

During our last three art lessons we have been learning about Van Gogh’s artistic style and trying to create a piece of art that mimics his style. Below are pictures of the pieces that have been completed so far. To see a picture in a larger format, just click on the picture and it will open up in a new window.

We have been learning about pyramids and prisms in math class. Here are some of the shapes we built today. Mr. M 

Homework will be sent home on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights this week. Each night there will be math sheets involving 3D geometry. Also, we are having a quiz on Thursday on the 5 and 6 multiplication facts. If you like you can print off practice work sheets from www.math-drills.com. Later this week I will be sending home the childrens’ non-fiction reading tests. They will have a grade on them which will be an important part of their final reading mark this term.

Mr. Macklin

    It started back in October that Mr.Macklin told us we had pen pals from Pemberton, British Columbia. Everyone was very exited!  First we wrote them a class letter , we sent it to them and then they sent us a class letter back .We sent them another class letter and then we sent them postcards. They wrote us all postcards back and we sent all them individual letters. We also sent them are PSA’s on recycling. They are writing us letters back right now! We all hope that they will mail us back very soon!
