My QZealand wordle

Term 3 goal reflection

I haven't achieved my term 3 goal , But I have moved up one level on the basic facts ladder. I think I have worked hard on my goal but I think I could work a little bit harder to achieve it next time.

Best visual language term 4

Self assessment:
What did I do well? I used bold bright and beautiful colors.
What did I learn? I learn t that if you color in boldly it makes your work more interesting.
What could I do better next time? Next time I could make my title relate to the poem.

Quiddage!!!!

Quiddage. It's the best thing in QZealand. Quiddage is where there are businesses that open and sell things. We are allowed to spend our Snidges on any of the businesses. Sometimes we have Quiddage with LC 11 and LC 12. They are called team market days. I really enjoy team market days because there is a bigger variety of businesses and it is more interesting. I think Quiddage is cool because you get to use fake money to get real stuff. If the product you are selling has any sugar or fat, then that means you get tax for it.You can also get tax for spending New Zealand dollars on your product.Well I think I have told you quite enough about Quiddage.I hope someday You will be in QZealand and get to join the Quiddage market days, but until next time seya!!!

My time at Riverdale school recount

I Have Really enjoyed my years at Riverdale School. On the first day of school I was really nervous to start but on the second day I had settled in really well and had made a lot of Friends with the help of my wonder full teacher. Riverdale has given me a lot of opportunities and has made me work harder to achieve my goals. I will really miss Riverdale but will look forward to starting intermediate.I really think Riverdale is a cool school.

Recount of athletics day

It was a beautiful day. The sun was streaming down against the red rough hurdles track. The day had finally come. The day of the Riverdale School athletics.

My heart pounding as I take a very slow step to the start line with a feeling of nervousness. Then suddenly I hear a deep booming voice. It was Mr Bron. I lift my head up and I listen to his words. "Take your marks,get set," toot! That was the hooter.


I take one foot of the start line and I start to sprint as fast as I can. "I'm doing well, I'm doing well," I say to myself. I see Ansley and Kate in front of me, but I still know that Charlotte is still behind me.I hadn't knocked any over yet and I didn't think I was going to knock any over. My heart pounds even harder as I run faster and faster to try and catch up with Kate. By now I am tying with Kate but then she slips ahead of me and that's the race over. I pass the finish line.

"Ohhhh bad luck," I say to myself. I would've made it through to the finals but I had finished in 3rd place. I feel a little rush of anger run up my spine, but then I got over it, now that I had seen other very disappointed people as well as me.
