Tree hut

 We Have been learning how to use adjectives to describe a mood and atmosphere.Here is a Picture of our tree hut house that my group made and the adjectives to describe the mood. Can you guess the mood and atmosphere?

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'. 

Mikayla had 87 toy cats and Corrin had 18 toy cats and Mrs B had 3 toy cats. How many are there altogether ?

 87+3 = 90

90+18=108. 

ski trip 2020

 Hi  

Today  I'm blogging about when I went on the ski trip. It was so much fun I did't want to leave.

What was hard? getting my confidence to go down the big hills.

What was easy? falling over on my skis and getting back up on them.

What did I learn? I learnt how to ski. 

Here Is a photo.

measuring feet and heads

Hi
Today I was measuring feet and heads.
What was hard? Getting the measurement from string and a ruler.
What was easy? Writing the measurements on the slide.
Here it is:

plate tectonics

 We did an experiment to learn about tectonic plates to help us learn  more about movements and shapes in new  Zealand .I learned a lot of tectonic plates here are some photos from my work.Can you guess what we used for are magma? Well I will tell you what we used for are magma. We used source are wafers that is what we used. Magma is good to learn about.

Team Moana Geometry Safari

We went on a Geometry Safari to see how many 2D and 3D shapes we could find in the playground. Here is our list of what we found and where.

 I was in a group with Piata, Shaun and Rory. We found out that geometry is everywhere!

science: Me and my DNA

This term for science we are learning all about how the human body works and how special we all are. We are also trying to learn how to think and act more like a scientist. So, Miss Fletcher asked us to look at our faces in the mirror and write down notes about what we look like. The information had to be precise and clear so that when someone read it, it would help them find the person it described quickly. It was a bit like being a detective. You had to look and notice things carefully.

Miss Fletcher said that what we look like depends on our mother and father. Making a new human is a bit like making a cake.  You get some ingredients from your mum and some from your dad. The ingredients are called DNA. Everybody’s cake is different to everyone else’s. 

Miss Fletcher said the person with the most efficient description was Andrew J as he wrote: My hair is 1cm long all over. He is the only student in Team Moana with a haircut like that so he was able to be identified very easily. You can read my description below. The sentences highlighted in blue are the ones that Miss Fletcher said were not precise and clear enough.  Twenty people said they could recognise me from my description.

What I look like 
Brown and yellow hair which hangs straight down past my shoulders.
 I have an oval face, brown eyes.
A red scar on my chin.
