Learing Journing Reading

Hello everyone,

Last week we have been VERY busy doing all sorts of tests. We did tests for Reading and Maths.

I didn't get as high results then I did last year. Last year, for reading I got a lot of things right. This year I have dropped 5 points! My teacher said, I just over think. I'm very disappointed:( But I hope I can do better next time. Here is my results for my reading.

Here are my maths results. I think I did better than my reading though. Here they are.

Acrostic Poem for an Amazing experience

Kia Ora folks,
Last week we had wonderful Terry, from Life Ed. We learn't about our lungs and what happens when you breathe in bad air and what damage it can do, and we also learnt about the 'systems' in our body. Today, we created an acrostic poem about a recent experiment. LAMB HEART observing! We touched, felt, smelt and even ate it! Well of course we cooked it though. I wanted you to tell you my experience through an acrostic poem. Here it is. :)

My Skittle Story

Hola Pals!

This week we did a really exciting Skittle experiment in our writing group, it was AMAZING!

So all we did was place Skittles into a shape in a deep plate and add warm water to it. Then we watched as the Skittles dissolved into a Rainbow! So I decided to write the 5 senses about it and then turn it into a story. Here is the finishing story. See if you can spot the 5 senses, hear, touch, see, taste, and feel.

Tropical world 5 senses writing

Kia Ora,
This week for our writing we have been focusing on the five senses: Taste, smell, touch, hear, and sight. So in our small buddy groups we had been given a picture and we had to describe the picture using the 5 senses. Later on we had been given a choice between 5 pictures write about. This is my story. See if you can spot the 5 senses.

Soft, delicate sand brushes against my warm feet as I walk towards the glistening ocean. Cold sea water gulps into my mouth making me wince. Island trees wave and sing over the green tropical forest. Fruit and leaves alert my nose making me hungry. Big clumps of waves jumping over my soul. A rush of ocean water rustling, kicking me to the surface. The sun blinding my eyes as I rise to my feet making me blink. Quickly planting myself into the sand not making one little move.  

Science Fair Preparation

Hello everyone,
This Term our topic is Up, Up and away and we are having a Science Fair tomorrow so our class decided to make our science fair related to Up, Up away. I am doing Elephant Toothpaste it is a really fun experiment. It is also related to Up, Up and Away because it explodes up in the air. All you need is a plastic bottle, dry yeast, hot water, teaspoon for mixing, hydrogen peroxide, and dish washing liquid. I am in a group of 5. Taylor, Hollie, Mia, Lani are in my Science Fair Group. Our Results came out Perfect.

Science Experiments Week 2

Kia ora.

We have been doing science experiments in preparation for the science fair. Today we made a Hoop glider, it was really easy I reckon. First time we flew it, it was a BIG fail. We tried it again and it worked. Here is a video of one of our experiments.
