Leaf Gif

This week, we have been learning about verbs, nouns, and adverbs. Our teacher made us create a leaf and add verbs around it about saying what it was doing. After that we had to add adverbs. After that we were allowed to make a gif about a leaf falling from a tree. Here is my work.

Making equations with compatible numbers

 Kia ora

We have been learning about how to use Compatible Numbers. Compatible Numbers are any two numbers which add together to make a Tidy Number 

(a  number which ends in zero).  We had to choose two Compatible Numbers and another number. Then we had to think of a word problem which used our numbers and give the problem to a buddy to solve. Mrs Ogle, our maths facilitator, said this is called 'posing problems'.

Ski Trip 2020

Last week we went on a trip called, the ski trip. This photo is from the 1st day we went skiing which was Tuesday. Tuesday was also the day we got ski lessons. we also did rock climbing and went to a National Museum at New Zealand. My favourite time at the ski trip was when we were skiing at Mt Ruapehu.

Mt Ruapehu Safety Knowledge

Kia ora

Today we built Mt Ruapehu in the sandpit. We also made the Whangaehu River valley, the plain below the mountain and the railway bridge at Tangiwai. We wanted to learn how the lahar destroyed the bridge in 1953 causing the Tangiwai Disaster. Kora and Ariana poured lots of water into the crater we had made on top of our mountain. It whoosed down the side of the mountain and into the river valley. The bridge collapsed and bits of our train fell into the river. After that, we watched a short video about what do do if you are on Mt Ruapehu when the lahar siren sounds.  Now I know how to keep safe from a lahar if one happens when I am on a mountain.  Here is my Hazard Notice with the most important information. 

Meaning of Words

Today, I have started a quick google draw about meanings of these selected words that somehow relate to bird flu. Also while me and a small group were on the mat we were shown a video of the horrors of Wuhan in china. There were dead animals like dogs, cats, snakes, pigs, rodents and many others. I found it hard putting the meanings into my own words. I found it easy to search up and find the meanings.

Matariki Myth

Hi,
Today I am going to be blogging my own story of the Matariki stars. It is about a man who was annoyed by his 3 brothers and 3 sisters so he decided to go up into the sky and pull people up everyday. Since he was annoyed by his 3 brothers and 3 sisters he turned them into ugly monsters before he would pull them up. Here is my story.
