I will put a few ore posts on my blog of what I have learnt soon. If you know anything comment and tell me. P.S If you see a name called Arie in any post that is my i'm called Arie for short.

Phonics Prefixes

 For Phonics I have been learning about Prefixes. At first it was pretty easy finding the Prefixes in the word find.But once I found out we had to say what it is and post it on our blog I it got a little bit more tricky. It was easy knowing what a prefix was but hard explaining it. It was real cool how the teacher made a word find where we had to find words with a Prefix in it. here is some example of what a Prefix is.

What I know about Chinese new year

For about 2 weeks we have been learning about Chinese new year I took notes about what I learnt I learnt a lot. check out my notes. we also had to draw our own dragons.

The Chinese new year

The date changes every year.

It is also the spring festival.

One sixth of the world celebrate it (The Chinese new year).

It is the longest public holiday and the whole country is on the move

This is the year of the dog (2018)

They have lots of lights like lanterns sprinklers and neon buildings to lanterns sprinklers and neon buildings to scare away the
- evil spirits (yin and yang).

They eat noodles for good luck.

They don't leave their house just for good luck and all the shops.

No wearing black because it’s bad luck and no cleaning because it will wash all the good luck away,  I'm an OX Arie.

Raijin the thunder god

Today I got in a new subject called myths and legends to day we researched the myth about Raijin the thunder god. It was hard finding out what all the Japaneses words meant, But it was easy finding out what Raijin looks like, I really liked Raijin backstory. I know all of this by one website click the link for it.
