Literacy series

Walt: Think critically about a range of texts by summarising and evaluating new information  

 Reflection: Eva and I have been working on this slide for around 2 weeks now.

The first thing we worked on was the human brain. First we read some facts then we had to write our own summary's.

The second thing we worked on the solar system. We read about it first then we had to write a summary and Eva made a  solar system on tinker cad.

The third thing we did was astrology. I was not at school when the class did this so only Eva did it.

The fourth thing we read about is elements which are fire, water, air and earth. This was my favourite thing to work on as it was very interesting.

The fifth thing we talked about was our star signs which are Aries and Scorpio. It was really cool working on this and I learnt a lot about my star signs.

The sixth thing we talked about was good sleep for the brain which is a very important subject to learn about.

The last thing we talked about was dream catchers and that was really fun because afterwards we got to make one with a buddy which for me was Eva.

Eva and I worked on this slide really well together and we put a lot of effort into it.

Squaring whole numbers

WALT: Square whole numbers.  

Reflection:This week for maths we have been learning how to square whole numbers. 

Me and my friends Emma, Eva and Manaia were working beside each other and that was a bad idea because we finished our work at lunch time. 

I think I did my work pretty good but next time I am going to have to work faster to get my work done on time.

Kindness Series

WALT analyse kindness as one of our school values
This work was really fun to do and I am glad that I finished this work on time.
I also had some help from my friends that gave me ideas.
We all shared our work together and gave each other good feedback.
Kindness is a value that our school is focusing on this week and that everyone should think of.

Egg science

WALT make connections between the human skeletal system and our science experiment.

The first thing we did was put a egg into a jar then we tipped vinegar in it till the egg was fully covered.

 All we needed was an egg, vinegar and a jar. We had to leave the egg in the jar for 4 days but on day 3 my groups egg cracked in the jar but we just had to leave it. 

When it was the day to pull the egg out it was all gooey and slimy the yoke ended up cracking so Emma through it on the ground. 

It was really fun holding other peoples eggs that did work because they looked really cool.

Building a catapult

Team building

Walt show our school values during team building

Today for team building Emma, Eva and I worked together to make a catapult.
At first we had to come up with a design so we made a box catapult then we tested them all out.
The second time the teacher let us watch a video so that meant that everyone would make the same catapult so we wanted to be unique so we used pens to draw on our marshmallows because none of us really like marshmallows. Our first catapult shot the marshmallow pretty far but the second one wasn't very good because I didn't pull the spoon back far enough. This project was really fun and I think we are pretty proud of ourselves.

Team building

WALT show our school values during team building 

Today me and my friends Eva, Lyric and Maniai worked together using our school values such as being responsible for our own actions, respecting each others opinions, making sure we include everyone and treating everyone equally. We were planing on making an Eiffel tower but it turned out to be a spider looking thing. I think we could have made something a bit better with  more time but we did pretty good together. 

Measurement and geometry

WALT find the perimeter and area of regular and irregular shapes.

Me and my class had to find the perimeter of a few shapes. This work was not that hard because we have been learning about it for the past week or so. I am really glad I finished this on time.
