My Papa

Kia ora

Here is a story I wrote about all the fun times I have with my papa. I hope you enjoy it.

Structure of the Earth

Structure of the Earth Facts

We are learning about the structure of the Earth.

I learnt that the Earth is made up of 4 layers. They are the Mantle,Crust, Outer Core and Inner Core.

Facts about each layer:

Crust - It is soil and brittle it is also the thinnest layer of Earth. It is the first layer of Earth.

Mantle - Mantel is made out of melted rock and is the thickest. Itt is soft and squishy, it is the hottest and the second layer in the Earth.

Outer Core - the outer core is made out of liquid and is the third layer of Earth.

Inner Core - the inner core is made out of Iron and Nickel and it is the last layer of the Earth. It is solid because the other layers create so much pressure pushing down on it.

Our group -  Arbey, Rainbow, Rory

First we created our Earth with clay. We then cut the shape in half to show the different layers. After waiting for a day to dry, we identified each layer by painting them in different colours.

Below are some pictures of art work.

Earthworms digging deeper.

This week we have been learning about worms and we have been observing the worms and when we put them back they left slime on our hands and the thing I didn't like was touching the worms and the thing I did like was looking for the worms.

Earthworms

After collecting and observing earthworms we wrote simple and complex sentences about what we found out about worms.

Parrot MRS GREN

Kia ora,       

Today and yesterday, we did reports on animals. We were allowed to choose an animal of our choice. I chose a parrot. We had to find out how our animal uses MRS GREN. MRS GREN stands for: Movement, Respiration, Sensitivity, Growth, Reproduction, Excretion and Nutrition. My favourite thing about this was finding out information about a new animal. The hardest thing was finding information about respiration and sensitivity. The learning behind this task was to find how animals use MRS GREN.
Here is my report on a parrot:

Acrostic and Haiku poems

This week we have been writing poems. Here is my acrostic poem about Christmas. 

Here are my Haiku poems I wrote.

Merry Christmas

 We did a sketch of a Christmas tree. We made a google doc and wrote a poem and then the teacher printed our poem. We cut our Christmas tree out and glued it on our poem. I hope you like my poem.

Greats and Grands day

Last week we had our Greats and Grands day. We wrote poems for our grandparents. Here is my poem about why my grandparents are so special. I read it out loud to all the grandparents.

Here is a photo of us on Greats and Grands Day.

Animal Town

This week we have used another picture as motivation for our writing. We had a story starter and then we had to carry on the story.

What I like about my writing is i write neat.

I need to improve on using capital letters and full stops to make my story make sense. .

Here is my writing about Animal Town

Woooow! I drove into Animal Town and it was a nice sunny day. I walked into the Sheriff's Office and there was an Orangutan in there. I didn't know it was an animal in the office, I thought it was a person. It was a weird town, it's not the same as a human town as it has just got animals not people like us and the town is smaller than ours. The orangutan looked like a monkey and it sounds like a baboon.When I got there, the orangutans welcomed me into their town and invited me for a welcoming to meet everyone. After I met everyone, I left to go home.

Happy Mother's Day

This week in Writing we wrote about how special our mums are. Here is my published writing about my wonderful mum. Happy Mother’s Day!

Robots

Drive drive drive driving to complete the obstacle course. Beep beep beeping to the horse to move so the robot can win.  All the robots were cheering and the robot got the big trophy.  You are the best, you are the best in the whole wide world. Dash zoomed through the obstacle course.

Skittles Experience

We have been learning to use better sentence starters and write juicy sentences. Here is my writing on Skittles.

Kite poem

We made kites from long sticks, cardboard and tape. We flew our kite on the field. After flying our kites we wrote kite poems.

Triathlon

Triathlon

We swam 2 lengths of the pool. It was warm.

Then we hopped out of the pool and we got our helmets. I put my helmet on and rode out the gate on my bike. We rode down Mr Lawrence’s driveway then we rode around the field.
