Compatible Numbers with a Buddy

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'.

 

Bob, Bobby and Bobbet have Rugby collection cards. Bob has 16. Bobby has 21 and Bobbet has 14, how many do they have together. My friend Andrew did 16 + 14 = 30 30 + 21 = 51.

Ski Trip

 My dad, a lot of other adults, all my class including my teachers and I, went on a bus for about 10 hours from Ohaeawai Primary School all the way to National Park. There we had an exciting adventure with  lots of skiing, rock climbing, exploring and learning about the Army museum and staying in Piper's Lodge. I had the  most exciting time ever with my friends, class mates and my dad. Down below you see a picture on an tank at the museum.  

    

Lahar learning

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.

Huia Research

I have created a slide show about an extinct New Zealand bird. I worked in a group with Tanner and Kaira. The extinct bird that I created a slide show for, was the Huia. Here is my slide show. 

When a alien stole my underpants

I wrote a story about seeing an alien steal my underpants. I like creating my alien.
I didn't like writing the words that didn't know how to write. Here it is.

Organizer

Today we learnt how to explain the setting of story that people don't know anything about. For a start we did on a book called The Peco Incident that we have been doing activities on. We also drew a picture of the scene. I have been doing a animation. Here is mine.

The Peco Incident Animation

The class read a book named The Peco Incident, by Des Hunt. It is about the
Bird Flu outbreak. My friends and I created a animation about the book.
Here it is. It is still a work in progress...

Couplet

The class had to make a couplet poem about anything. A couplet poem is a poem that is two line long, and you need the last word of each line have to rhyme. You can do a Couplet Poem about nearly anything. My couplet poem was about mars and stars. Here it is.

Chicken Divas

The all read a book called Chicken Divas, and we had to do some activities. We had to create a chicken diva. We had to draw and then colour in with pastel. And when we were done that, we would cut it out and put it on a different piece of paper. After that we got to decorate it, and it got put on the wall. Here is mine.

Space Writing

We got to write about going to space. I wrote from going to the ship to seeing Earth. Here it is.

Multiplication Facts

We have been doing a game about maths. It is called Multiplication Wheels. We go into our maths books and grab a multiplication wheel and write a number from one to ten in the middle and answer the questions. After that we write down the question answer fast enough or properly. I need to work on six, three and nine times tables.

Covid-19 Blurb

In class on the first week back at school, we made a Blog Blurb about
Covid-19 each and how to avoid it. Mine is DON'T HUG. It was hard
to decide what blurb I should do. Here it is.

DNA Monster

Title:  My DNA Monster

Labels: Science

Today we learned about the molecule DNA, Deoxyribonucleic Acid, our unique recipe that makes us look like we do!

We used our knowledge of DNA and recessive and dominant traits to create our own unique DNA monsters.

Here is my DNA table of traits and a picture of my DNA monster.

What I like best about my monster is it's name; Blue Tiger.

Super Hero Isolation

I made a google draw about a Super Hero in my bubble for reading today.

I decided to draw my dad (in his work uniform, he is a police constable). My

drawing has all of the police gadgets on his belt and BAS (Body Armour

System) including his taser, pepper spray, torch and hand cuffs. And then I put

3 onomatopoeia on it, and here it is.

Lego Challenge

I did a Lego challenge, to make a vehicle out of Lego that can deliver freight. I made a
colorful truck. Making it was fun, but a little bit hard. This is how I made the truck.

Science - Vinegar & Baking Soda / Powder Experiment

• My sister and I both did this experiment because her class was doing the same one.
• We did this experiment to find out if there is a chemical reaction in the mixture of vinegar and baking soda / powder.
•  We poured one cup of vinegar into our plastic bottle.
• We after that, we added one teaspoon baking soda into the balloon
• After, I stuck the balloon over the top of the bottle.
• And then I held up the balloon and I watch the baking soda pour into the vinegar and it started to fizz.

I did a double experiment with my little sister because her class was doing the same activity as my class. The first time, using baking soda it worked and the balloon inflated. The second time, using baking powder, it did work but not as good as good as the mixture with baking soda. The baking soda worked better than the baking powder. The first two times we used white vinegar and then dad used malt vinegar and baking soda to see what happens, and it work just as good as the first try. I found this fun.

My Chimera

I made a Chimera out of a tiger, rhino and snake. It also has wings. A chimera
is a mythical creature made out of three amimals put together. It also has wings.
If you want to make a chimera, you can use this as an inspiration. This how
I made the chimera.

Letter to Elderly Relative

 

I made a letter to my Poppa and Nanny. I had to 

first write where I live and the date I sent it so 

they know if it's recent or not. Then I wrote where 

I'm sending it so they know where to go to send it. 

Then I greet them. After that I write the messege 

that I want to say. Then I say bye on the letter.

Here is my leter.

My Dream Vehicle

Today I have made a Google Draw of My Dream Vehicle. This is my Dream 

Vehicle, it is a very, very fast motorbike. It can reach up to 1,000000 km per 

hour. And it has a holder for tablets and Ipads so you can watch videos 

while driving, but don't play games on you tablet/Ipad.

Maths Day Diary

I made a Diary for maths today. The part that is to do with maths is the time of each thing I do on each day. This isn't a weekend dairy but it is and isolation school Maths Diary. This is how I made my Maths Diary.

I made a Lego Space Shuttle to base my writing piece on. I called my piece
of writing 'My Trip To Space'. I needed to include onomatopoeia and similes.
Here is my writing. I hope you enjoy it.

ANZAC DAY Questions

This is what I have done for day 1 in isolation after school holidays for reading.
I did a Question chart about ANZAC DAY. First I watch a video then made a
copy of a google draw with questions on it and answer the questions on the
google draw and then decorate it. And here is mine.

Cardboard Lunch Box

I've been doing some activities over lock-down. This is my cardboard lunch box with compartments inside the lunch box. I liked measuring the cardboard then cutting it into the right size. I didn't like cutting the cellotape because it would stick on everything. I found it interesting to make the lunch box. And this is my cardboard lunch box.

Super Hero Comic Strip

For the last few days we have been creating our own creative writing about super heroes.
For my first activity I made a real life superhero saving the day on a comic strip.
I liked the creating the peoples appearance.
What I found hard was thinking about what they say.
This is the comic strip I made.

Whitebait Fritters

This term we have been reading a book called 'Whitebait Fritters'. We did an activity based on the story each week. The tasks I did was an animation with the people in my group and a title page of the book for children of 2020. I enjoyed creating the animation. I found hard embedding the slide to my blog.  The learning behind the talk was convincing people that Whitebait is yum and to share what I learnt from the story.

Whitebait Fritters 2020 Title Page

In the recent weeks we been reading a book called Whitebait Fritters. We would read a chapter everyday, and we have to work on something based on the story. I decided I would make a new 2020 Title Page. And here it is.
