Measuring heads feet maths.

 Kia ora 

This week we have been working on Measurement.We had to measure our maths group foot and head.The day after we had to make a graph to see whose head was the biggest or we could chose to do our groups feet. I liked doing the head measurement the best .Here is my slide of my groups head and feet.

Tectonic Plates

 Kia Ora bloggers,

So a couple of weeks ago my class and I got into groups of four. Then we were given  a plastic plate, some sweet chilli sauce, and 2 pink wafer's to demonstrate how earthquakes can start by the plates moving in a convergence, divergence or transform way.  Do you know what transform means?  I learnt how to under stand how plates work, and how they can move in different ways.  The hardest thing was trying not to eat the wafers. And the easiest thing for me was under standing how the plates work.

lahar alarm warning

 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.

North Island Piopio's

Kia Ora blogger,

Last term me and a group worked together to answer 5 questions about the North Island Piopio,
they were native New Zealand birds. The hard thing for me would be having to search there environment and the way that they did things. The easiest thing would definitely writing the words down.

Underpants lovers

Kia Ora bloggers,
In the last three days me and my class have been doing creative writing, and this writing topic was aliens
that steal your underpants.  The hard thing for me would be really really putting detail in to it, but the easiest thing would be writing the story from the back of my head. I really in joyed this task, because
I really love writing. 

Underpants Lovers

Long ago, when I was a little young boy we didn’t have much, not even underpants. Somehow my mother got me some, they were blue and had golden glory trucks on them. I tried to wear them every day but mommy said that I had to put them in the pot to boil so they could be cleaned. So I watch the hole process and for a good darn reason. Obviously I was worried that someone would steal them. 

One day, mommy hung them up on our clothes line. They were hanging by green pegs. I watched them all day from 1:00pm till 6:30pm, I didn’t even have lunch. Then,  mommy called me for supper. “Come inside my little boy, it is time for supper, you haven’t eaten all day.” “But mommy” I replied. “no buts, come on, your underpants will be fine”. Grumpily I walked inside and  quickly ate tea... 

Then mommy said that I had to go to bed.

So I sat on my bed trying to stay awake

To make sure nobody stole my underpants, 

but I accidentally fall asleep. All of a sudden being the light sleeper that I am, I woke up to a racket. BING! Poing! BLING! DING! I zoomed into the kitchen getting a pan just in case we were getting robbed. 

For some reason, I didn’t think about waking up my 

Mother and father at the time. So quietly I snooped all over the house, but then I realised the noise was coming from outside my bedroom window where my underpants are.

Slowly I crept to peek through my curtains...it wasn’t my friends, it wasn’t a roddent, it wasn’t humans either… it was aliens. There were twenty, they were gray, and they had three eyes, six arms and legs, and they were really fat. The aliens had crashed there ship on my lawn, but how did nobody wake up to it?

Moving fast from my bedroom to the backdoor I quickly hid behind a big red pot plant with a little dead tree planted in it. I jumped out at them and I told them to back off! They spoke english, I thought in my head,I asked them to backaway politely incase they came to capture me. They were nice, they said “as long as you 

help us rebuild our ship we won’t take your underpants”. I said “yes”. So, we successfully did it and now till this day I didn’t tell any one, and my under were safe. Till they come again.

A day in isolation

Kia Ora,
Last week we had to choose a task to blog and I  have chose to do a day in isolation.
Something I have learnt is how to embed a document.The easy part was writing the steps down.
And the hard part would of been to do the times for each step. What I find fun about this task  was
that I got to learn and write about a day in isolation.
Bye.

Maths: 1 Geometry Safari

This term for maths we have been learning about 2D and 3D geometry.  Fred, Barney and I were in a team. We went on a Geometry Safari around the school grounds to see how many 2D  and 3D shapes we could find. Then we had to write what we had found into a table. You can see ours below.

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.  Ten people said they could recognise me from my description. 

Christmas decoration

Hello everyone,

Today me and my  whole class has made Christmas decorations to funraise for our school ski trip next year. So we made Christmas decorations to sell at our school whanua night.

What I didn’t like was cleaning up the mess that I made. I liked making Bob that's my elf's name. 

I made an elf and all I had to do was:

1. Get a toilet paper roll.

2 get a ribbon

3 get a small kete.

4 get googly eyes

5 get materials

And then you have.

My Christmas decoration plan

Kia Ora,

So today we had to do a plan to make a Christmas decoration to
help fundraise  for our school ski trip next year. And the hard thing I
think was is finding a price for your decoration. And the fun and easy part of this task was probably talking about how fun it will be to make.

spelling practice tearm 4

Kia Ora,

So today at Ohaeawai Primary School we had to practice essential list 6,7,8. I only got
list 7 done. The tricky part of this task was finding the root word. The easy thing was probably
just getting through slide after slide after I figured out what root words are.  I found this task fun
good to help your learning and very very easy to go through.

My ambition for 2020

This year I am a year 5 at Ohaeawai Primary School. I have enjoyed trying to help little kids when they are sad or hurt.
My favourite thing that happened this year was probably pet day because there were a lot of cool
animals there.
And my least favourite thing that's happened was  I think cross country because it
was very very hard and long.

Next Year I am a year 6. My goal for 2020 is trying to be reliable. To help my schools rubbish problem I think we should make a stop to littering and get people to help clean up.
I want to have a responsible group of year 6's to go and do a little clean up around the school every day and hopefully that will help stopping litter.

My learning
Well, my learning so far has been pretty good but I think I might need to focused a bit more instead of talking. Hopefully I will be reliable, trustworthy and caring enough to be a young leader.

My Margaret Peter's Spelling Test Result.

Kia ora everyone

Today, we sat the Margaret Peters Spelling Test. I scored 42 which gives me a spelling age of  12.5yrs.

At the beginning of the year, I scored 31 and had a spelling age of  8.7 yrs.

So, I improved my spelling age by about three years!!!

I think I got this result because I try to not waste time, I try to do spelling as focussed as possible,and I love 

getting smarter.

The movie's

Hi bloggers

We have been making movie's in group's of six seven and five. My group's movie  is about when all of us go into a hospital and one by one we go missing and at the end nobody saw us again. We  did  another one but it got accidentally deleted but we are going good on this one.

Science fair

Kai Ora

Just yesterday we presented a science fair experiment for our school.  My group made the three lolly questions and we were looking at which lolly would dissolve first.  The hard part was making the box and the easy thing was sticking the photos on to the box.  The lolly's were mackintosh mint and  fruit burst - check out our presentation to see what dissolved first.

Science Fair The Three Lolly Question

Kora's science exploring.

Yesterday we were learning about science,  We got into our science fair groups. We were writing down question that may interested us in our science fair. 

The hard bit was when I tried to come up with questions to sot my object. I found that the easy part was writing my question down.

The learning behind this task was exploring equipment to support our science fair.

Inquiry Term 2 2019

Kia ora
We have been doing some research about Planet earth and Beyond. I decided to try and find out what gravity is. Here is my presentation. I got lots of help from Sam, Sydney-Rose and Mrs B. My best part was finding out you can jump higher on the moon than on Earth.

Myth Writing

Hi, My name is Kora. We have been writing Myths. I chose to write one about 'How rainbows appeared" Here is my story. My favourite part about writing my myth was how the unicorn spewed.
What I found hard was adding description of characters.

My myth writing

How unicorns appeared...

High in the clouds in Neverland there were chocolate fountains, candy cane trees and misty jungles. It had so many animals like short elves that ride beautiful white unicorns in the city at night.

One misty night there was an elf riding a unicorn and the unicorn was running

around and around a building too many times. The unicorn started to feel unwell and spewed up golden shimmering colourful dust. Glowing rainbow they called it. Everyone in the town woke up because it was so bright and everyone admired it. And now, in Neverland that is why there are rainbows everywhere.

!The end!
