For reading with Mrs Linda we read fantastic fish. It’s about different unique fish. Fiish have three different fins. They are the dorsal fin which keeps the fish from rolling over, the tail fin which pushes the fish forward and the pectoral fish which helps the fish steer. 

Some interesting facts we found were that fish have three different types of fins. Mudskippers can live out of the water and a manta ray has a wingspan about 7 metres across.

How did you feel at the end of the session?

For our activity we had to find 20 import words and choose 6 most important words. Then we put those 6 most importants into a summary. 

Cockroaches have two long spiked tails called Cerci. The cockroaches also like to hang around dark and warm places until it's night. The characteristics of a cockroach is that they are really fast and they can detect danger by their wind sensors. An interesting fact that our group found out about cockroaches is the fact that cockroaches lived on earth over 300 million years ago.

We found this activity interesting because we learnt many different things about cockroaches and had fun when learning.

Cockroaches detect danger by using their cerci and wind sensors. They are survivors because the use of their special sensors help them avoid many predators.

He told us that when he was young kids used to bully him because the teachers used to put him up in front of the school and make him read. Marc used to read from his right to his left he got bullied for that. This was a fun and cool experience to learn about his story.

For this activity we made a DLO of how to behave on the bus. We could make a video or just write the sentences down. When doing the DLO we couldn't use words like no, not or dont/do not.

When getting onto the bus we have to make sure that we are thanking the bus driver when exiting the bus and entering the bus. When going to or on the bus make sure you are lined up sensibly.

PB4L

  LI : To get motivated and concentration for me to learn about PB4L.

One reason why it's important to let the teacher know you're going to the bathroom, because if you don’t it could cause many problems. Like if there was a fire alarm the teacher wouldn’t know where you are, which would make your teacher and your parents worried.

This activity was fun and cool. We had a really enjoyable experience doing this task.

Giant Panda

 L.I: To use our smart searching skills to find information about the Giant Panda.

First we used our smart searching skills to find information about the Giant Panda. We noted down where they live, their threats, and what they eat. Also we wrote down facts we found. We used our notes to help us with the DLO that we created. 

We found this activity fun because we were researching together to find information about the Giant Pandas. It was a really enjoyable experience with each other.

What we found quite hard was not understanding what to put in the DLO but we got help from our amazing teacher Mrs Anderson.

We found three facts interesting. One fact that we found interesting was that Giant Pandas are carnivores but their diet is like herbivores. The next fact we found interesting was that pandas have to eat 20 to 40 pounds of bamboo so they can get by(manage with difficulty to live).  

Why it is important to be hydrated

L.I To understand why staying hydrated is important for our health and our learning.

Hydration means you are having plenty of water and dehydration means you're losing water from your body.

Today we did an activity that’s about hydration and dehydration. We had to find information about the importance of hydration and why we are sometimes dehydrated. We used three websites to help find information. Once we found all the information we put the information into our DLO. 

The fact we thought was interesting is that water delivers nutrients to our cells. Another fact we found interesting was that water can also help our organs function properly. 

Pie chart

L.I To plan and carry out a statistical investigation.

Today we did an activity using pie charts. First  we made 4 questions and then collected data by asking the four questions to people around the classroom. When we finished collecting all of the data we took the information from our paper, to make a pie chart on a google spreadsheet. We also made a chart on paper before starting the digital chart.

What we noticed is that the a lot of people's favourite color is blue. The colors red, green, and black had the same amount of votes. Pie charts are really helpful for collecting data as well.

Summary of te tiriti Treaty of Waitangi

 Today My group and I were reading about the Treaty of Waitangi. To start, we used the book that we were reading to help us create our summary about the Treaty of Waitangi. What we learned from the book is that the treaty of Waitangi is a day of celebration to remember a historical day of peace, where the treaty was signed by a big number of chiefs. In this activity we learnt about information of the Treaty of Waitangi and about why it was signed by many chiefs so New Zealand could be a part of the British Empire.

Nano girl | Build a sundial | Summer learning journey

 Today I completed this weeks Nano girl task. For this task I had to try create sundial. A device that shows the time of day by the position of the shadow cast onto a marked plate by an object with a straight edge.

First I watched a video that Nano girl made to show how to make a sundial. I used cardboard and tape.Instead of using regular tape, I used duck tape because I didn't have any other tape I could use.

 Then I made my shapes by drawing a circle and a right triangle on the cardboard. After that I used scissors to cut out the shapes. I used tape to stick my right triangle onto the circle. Afterwards I wrote 2 different times. One that the tells the time when I should wake up, and another which tells what time I should go to sleep.

Then I tested my sundial using my torch. It was quite interesting because I wondered how did people think of this thousands of years ago. I surprise some that was used thousands of years ago, stills work.

This task had to be one of the most fun task I've done yet.

Summer learning journey | Saying happy new years in different languages

 Today I completed the happy new years in different languages task.

In different languages we had to say happy new year.We had to used 5 languages.

The languages I used to say happy to celebrate the new year were: Tongan, German, Dutch (Netherlands), Samoan, and Hawaiian.

The Polynesian languages I knew because my Mum and Grandma are Tongan, Samoa and Hawaiian. The both of them started teaching me when I was a little baby. 

The European languages I knew because when I was little my Grandfather used to teach words bit by bit in German and a little bit of dutch.

I found this task easy because most of these languages I learnt how to speak in them from family members.
