Worms

                                           

This is my paragraph about what I know about worms. I am very proud of what i wrote and my teacher Mrs McVey gave me a star and wrote that she thought my paragraph was great and she read it out to the class. this activity was fun and easy for me because I know alot about worms. Here is a picture of it:

My Sustainability Title Page

           This is my inquiry title page. For this activity we had to draw and color a title page to do with Sustainability. This activity was fun and easy and I enjoyed drawing the pictures. What I learnt from this activity is that I could draw and think of things to do with sustainability quite quickly.

Crosswords

   
Today we learnt about crosswords for our Reading Workshop and it was fun filling in the spaces and figuring out what the word was with the help of the clues. There was two words that my friends and I got stuck on ant these are what the clues said and what the answers were:
1. Clue: Earthquake shakes
Answer: Tremors
2. Clue: Car with a meter inside
Answer: Taxi
Other than that this activity was very fun and I enjoyed it very much.

My Emoji

This is my emoji. For this activity we had to make an emoji for what our first feelings were when we saw the massive pile of rubbish outside the school hall and my emoji is the one that is sick because that is how I felt when I saw the pile of rubbish. About two weeks ago the students of Mangapapa would find something surprising waiting for them outside the hall. There was a massive pile of rubbish. It was all spread out on the concrete outside and there was everything you could imagine, books, phones, bottles, a heater, some chip packets, some fizzy drink cans and juice boxes, paper, cardboard boxes and heaps more. (I’m not writing the rest of what there was because that would take donkeys years.) Then the year six neighbourhood teachers took us out to look at it and a lady called Kirsty came and told us to tell her what we saw. Then afterwards we talked about how there were lots of things that were in the pile that could be fixed, recycled or reused. The next day the rubbish was gone but that’s why we did emojis for inquiry in the afternoon.

The Fireplace Art

Yesterday Room 12 had art day and we made fireplaces and it was very fun.  We used dye, crayons, pencils and a ruler. this activity was not too hard and Mrs G said that when we finished we could color in lizard templates.

Here is my fireplace art:

And here is my lizards:(I made two.)

The Enviro Trip

 Yesterday Room 12 and 14 went on a walk to the Botanical gardens, the HB Williams Memorial Library and the Environment center. First we walked to the Botanical gardens and ate morning tea and played then we went to the library and looked at books and if we brought our library cards we could return and issue books. Finally we had lunch outside the environment center while we waited for Room 11 and 15 to finish and then we went inside. We learnt about all sorts of things there including: things about compost and worm farms, different herbs, kiwi kai rescue, things that you can use instead of plastic like metal straws, bamboo plates and cutlery and reusable bags. Soon it was time to leave and we walked back to school and ate the rest of our lunch till the bell rang to end the school day. all in all it was very FUN!

Paper Wheel Collabration

For this activity we were put into our ako whanau groups and create a paper wheel using newspaper and sellotape. It was a very fun activity to help us get better at collaboration.                                                                                                              Now here are some photos of the Paper Wheel Challenge, 'Behind The Scenes.'
