 I made word dart based on things that make me happy and are good for my wellbeing. I chose a horse because I've been with horses since before I was born. I chose my words because they are all special to me in their own way. I chose music and piano because music makes me feel better or worse when I'm sad and I like playing the piano because I like the thrill of learning a new song easily or after a lot of work to find the key that creates the right sound. I chose my family and friends because they make me happy and they make me laugh. I chose art because I like when I do a really good drawing and I can feel proud. I chose devices because they give me something to do when I'm bored. I chose books because I enjoy reading.

  Today, June the 4th 2021, we got a surprise visit from Nanny Andrea and her cockatoo Ipo. Ipo had many health conditions Nanny Andrea talked about such as broken wings, bad blood, and a broken toe. Nanny Andrea also said he was an omnivore, an animal that eats meat and plants. Humans are also omnivores. We got to pat Ipo and learn about his many journeys such as being a star on 'Fanimals'. The students in his art class love him. He wears a poncho because of his blood disorder as he gets cold. Nanny Andrea and a vet have to pluck some of his feathers because they go bad. Ipo enjoys chewing on paintbrushes and pencils. He also likes listening to music. He came from Wellington. When they left we watched the episode of 'Fanimals' he was included in. It featured his student saying kind and wholesome things about him.

 On the 17th of May 2021 We did a DMIC problem about Feijoas. We had to figure out how much money she made all together and for each day how many of each bag she. I did this with Lulu, Lilley and Jess. The 1 kg bags were $2, 2 kg bags were $3.50 and 5 kg bags were $6. On Monday she made $13.50, On Tuesday she made $47, on Wednesday she made $25, on Thursday she made $34, on Friday she went to the movies, on Saturday she made $42, and on Sunday she decided she had enough money. To figure out how much money she had we added all the costs together separately then added those numbers together and ended up with $161.50. Then we had to figure out the second question which was also simple. We used Guess And Check. On Monday she sold 2 1 kg bags, 1 5 kg bag, and one 2 kg bag. That came up to $13.50. On Tuesday she sold 20 1 kg bags and 2 2 kg bags which was $47. On Wednesday she sold 2 2 kg bags and 3 5 kg bags which was $25. On Thursday she sold 5 5 kg bags and 2 1 kg bags which was $34. ...
