Orana Park

Kia Ora,

Yesterday Room 5 & Room 6 went to Orana Park. When we arrived both of the classes got separated. And each class got their own zoo school teacher. Room 5's one was named Sarah and room 6's one was called Bethany. We first went to the place where we will put our bags and have morning tea and lunch.

After we put our stuff away Sarah took us to the tigers Their was a really big habitat that was like a Savannah and their was two tigers which were both brothers. Then we visited the Lions and we had to see the differences of their looks and how they hunt.

I really enjoyed The Gorillas because they kept us entertained but it was really funny because they kept 

showing their butt's at us

Earthworms

Kia Ora,

 

Our main topic for this term is Biodiversity, And this time we are learning about worms and how they are good for the environment and by worms I mean Earthworms. We also did a experiment if we could find any Worms by putting water and detergent on the grass and if you wait there should be some worms that come up.

Then after the Experiment we had to research more about earthworms and why and how they are good for the environment. Me and Preston Made a Poster about Earthworms and why they are good for the environment.

I enjoyed Researching about Earthworms because I learnt a lot of things that I didn't know about them.

Friends & Foes

Kia Ora,

This term our main focus is Science and to be more specific Biodiversity.

We have been going to room 6 to learn this we have already done a couple of activities about Friends & Foes

Friends & Foes, Friends help plants to grow and turn into a fruit. But Foes are like enemies  they take all the nutrition from the plant so then it dies.

Graphic Novel

Kia Ora,

For Writing we are learning about graphic novels, And to add pictures so that the reader can understand the novel with pictures and text. We also learned to inference the story to understand more from reading between the lines.

We also had interns to help us and teach us about graphic novels. Miss Ronald & Miss Jackman.

They gave us a booklet where we had to fill it out and it helped us to plan our graphic novel we first had to read other graphic novels then write what you saw from the text and pictures.

After that you had to make your own character and you had to include his/her characteristics. Draw a portrait of them. 

Here is my graphic Novel, Its about a maths competition.

Student Summit 2021

 Kia Ora,

Today was the Student summit 2021 the whole ura manuka cluster gathered up at hornby primary. Everyone would go around different stations and learn from different station leaders. The first station was about coggle which is a thing where you can make different bubbles about information. Like if you want to plan about the WWI you can write notes for later.

Me and Mark Also Was teaching others about how to draw. It was kinda challenging teaching others because sometimes they would not understand. but then they will understand. Here are some pictures of the code that was used to draw a triangle and a square

I really enjoyed teaching others how to draw with scratch. Because after we taught how to make basic shapes they made some things of their own.

Baptism DLO

 Talofa Lava,

This term for RE Room's 5 & 6 have been learning about the holy spirit, and how the holy spirit effects the sacraments. Our task was to learn about a sacrament then make a DLO about it and answer the questions that were set. me, Ezra & MarkR. worked together and chose the sacrament Baptism to work on.

I really enjoyed making this DLO because its a change to what we normally do. I really enjoyed on working on the symbol of baptism and what it means. I didn't really like some of the questions because they were kinda difficult so we had to do some more extra research.

The holy spirit effects the sacrament of Baptism because When the person gets baptised they get cleansed from her sins, and they get welcomed to the church. This helps them to follow in Jesus's footsteps and spread the gospel of the God.

Blog - Comic Strip

Kia Ora,

I think blogs are important because its a great way to Show others your work and to make it better and so that you can publish it to others to view. So our task was to make a comic strip about what blogging is and why its helpful.

I enjoyed making the shapes for the comic strip.
