Digging Deeper

Kia Ora everyone,
Today and yesterday, the whole class made a google draw for digging deeper. First, we had to make a very simple sentence and add more info to make the sentences more complex. I found it easy to write the sentences and I didn't find anything tricky. I enjoyed finding out about worms. The learning behind was to learn the different of a complex sentences and a simple sentences.
Here is my work

Beaver MRS GREN

Kia Ora everybody,
Today and yesterday, we did an activity to see how an animal can be classed as a living thing using MRS GREN. MRS GREN is an acronym used to show that a life form is living. I chose to do mine about a beaver. I had to show how a beaver moves, respires, senses, grows, reproduces, excretes, and eats. I enjoyed finding the information for growth. Growth was fun because the information was interesting and I learnt lots of new and awesome facts about a beaver like if a beaver stops chewing their teeth will grow through their head. I found it tricky finding the info for excrete. The info for excrete was hard to find and a bit weird like brown slimy stuff comes out of their castor gland. The learning behind this task was to identify if this life form was living or not.

The Living World Unit Study

Hello, This is my living world slideshow. For the next 5 or 6 weeks we will be choosing our own activities to learn about the living world. We did a multiple intelligences test to see what kind of learner we were. My top three ways of learning are;
 1.Kinesthetic
 2.Musical
3.Interpersonal
 I am looking forward to learning my three intelligences
It was interesting... seeing what intelligences I were.



 

Team Moana's Favourite Takeaways

Kia Ora today and yesterday Team Moana all made a bar graph. First, we did a form and and got all the info and put it on a table. Next, we copied it on to a tally graph in our maths books. Then, we did a bar graph. The bar graph was of favourite takeaways. In the bar graph their were KFC, Pizza Mc Donalds, Fish in Chips, and Chinese. I found it hard to copy the info from the table on to the book. It was fun making the bar graph on my computer. I learned that 20 people like Mc Donalds. There were a total of 51 people that voted. Here is my DLO.   

Bike Safety

Kia Ora everyone. Today and yesterday the class made a DLO. We were learning about bike safety. I found it fun finding all the info and writing it down. I got stuck finding the images. I want you to notice that it is important to wear a helmet and be visible when riding a bike. Blog you later.

Fruit Art

Today for reading we got to choose an activity. I chose to make a portrait of my self. We had to make it out of fruit. We also had to find the Maori  words for the body parts and for the fruit.  I really enjoyed making my fruit person. I found it was hard to find the Maori words.

Here is my fruit art:

The Mine

The Mine

Yesterday everyone walked down to the mine. In the mine there are lots of machines there are: 2 loaders, 2 diggers, 1 bulldozer and 1 nodwel. The loaders are for clearing the tailings(which means getting the rocks out the sluice) and loading the pay (which means getting dirt to load the sluice) the 25 ton digger is used for loading the sluice and the other 40 ton digger is used for digging. The bulldozer is used for getting pay. Finally the nodwel is used for testing the ground to see if there is gold. My dad drives the big 40 ton digger.
