Hangi

Hello everyone

Last week, my class was doing a hangi. We had some help from our school's care taker Matua Ken and  a dad. They dug the hole, putting the iron and rocks in and out of the hole.  What a lot of hard mahi that was! My whole class loved the food after it was done. We all enjoyed the hangi and we loved having to watch and getting some more experience for when we get older. Here are some photos at the hangi.

Christmas Decorerations.

Hello everyone,

Today I created a Christmas flower to sell at my school whanau evening and
also the talent show also at my school. We are doing this for Team Moana’s ski
trip next year and we are fun rising for the ski trip because we don’t have
enough money for it. 

How I made it is that:

1. I got some of the toilet rolls and cut it into straight long pieces

2. Then I opened the pieces and grabbed the leftovers and burned it a little bit
and some in the bits of toilet rolls

3. Then you hot glue gun them altogether

4. Then I painted it pink

5. Then I put glitter and a snowflake on it and then let it dry.

6. Then…… your done

What didn’t I like?

I didn’t like how the power went out while doing the work.

What I enjoyed?

I enjoyed making the Christmas flower and decorationing the flower.

Planning x - mas decorations

Hello everyone,

My class was making Christmas decorations for a whanau evening at my school and we are fun rising for our team moana ski trip next year.  Before we did all the fun stuff we did a planning on a google drawings. For my decoration I did a wreath. If you don't know what a wreath is well it is like what you hang on your door and has leaves and cherries on it. Well here is my planning on my google drawings.

My ambition for 2020

This year I am a year 5 at Ohaeawai Primary.
I have enjoyed trying to make and be a good example for the juniors and the school.
My favourite thing that has happened is helping out other people when they feel sad, hurt or getting angry with other people.
My least favourite thing is not being there when something really bad is happening and other people are not there to help them.

Next year I am a year 6. My goal for 2020 is to help pick up rubbish and if it goes in farmer's paddock we won't do cross country and I want to keep the school green.
I want to do something to help others, make the school green, to be the I can be and to be a good person to others to be a young leader.
My learning so far has been really fun for me but I will always finish something hard. I will be caring and reliable in the classroom to be the best I can be, to show that I am a really good supporter and that I am trustworthy so I can give a message or get anything from the printer.

Margaret Peters Spelling

Kia ora everyone

Today, we sat the Margaret Peters Spelling Test. I scored 38 which gives me a spelling age of 11.0.

I think I got this result because I am not the best speller but I am good at trying out my words and double checking it.

A Goal For Term 4 2019

Hello everyone,

I am here to talk about something that I want to get better at. My goal is to get better at my maths so every test I have I get a 100%.  I want to do that by the end of the term.

Science fair

Kia ora,

My whole school had a science fair. The whole school had a groups of 3 or 4 to work on their science experiments this term. When the day came the whole school had to show everyone their science experiments in scientific language. The whole school had a board to show the rest of the school and I will show you my one soon. My science fair was a Tornado in a jar experiment. The people in my group were Denym, Ricci - Lee, Steive - Ray and me.  Here is my science fair board.......

Understanding the three laws of motion

Hello,

We have been reading lots of texts about understanding the three laws of motion. Then, we have to find the main ideas and key words in the texts and put them on a DLO in an organised way. Here is the one I did about understanding the three laws of motion. Hope you like it.

Understanding the two kinds of Motion

Hello,

We have been reading lots of texts about understanding the two kinds of motion. Then, we have to find the main ideas and key words in the texts and put them on a DLO in an organised way. Here is the one I did about the two kinds of motion. Hope you like it.

Forces and Motion

Hello,

We have been reading lots of texts about forces. Then, we have to find the main ideas and key words in the texts and put them on a DLO in an organised way. Here is the one I did about Forces and Motion.I have put some images to go with my key ideas. Hope you like it.

What is a force?

Hello bloggers,

For the past few weeks  we have been learning about forces. I did a Google Drawing of what is a force. My teacher, Mrs B helped me with this Google Drawing. Here is my DLO. Enjoy.

Poetry lesson 3

The little box magic

Hello

My name is Hayley. For the past few days we have been doing a subtraction what happened in the box thing. I have done a goggle drawing of what you need to figure out. Good luck.

Hayley's inquiry: Planet Earth and Beyond

Hello,

For the past few days we have been learning again about planet earth and beyond. We made our own question that we wanted to find out and research on. The learning behind this task was to find the answer to a wondering of our own, I had about planet earth and beyond. My wondering question was: Why do planets orbit around the sun? So that was my focus. I really enjoyed working with others. I need to work on doing it independently. I have learnt: That orbit means going around an object or a star, and that the sun is a star not a planet.

Golden Leaves

Hello bloggers,

On Wednesday we went for a walk around the school to find a golden tree. When we found the golden tree we had a leave fight! It was so much fun. Then we saw some green leaves in the tree as well. I thought that the tree had golden leaves. Then Mrs Fletcher said, " Do you think that the green leaves will go gold?". Most of us said yes and some of us said no. Now here is my Golden Leaves poem ......

Is Earth like a hard - boiled egg?

We are learning about what the Earth is like on the outside and the inside. We used hard-boiled eggs as mini-models for the earth. We got to design our own continents and islands on the outside of the egg shell. At the end of the experiment we got to eat the egg!

Here is a link to the science experiment report we wrote with the teacher at the end of our experiment

Structure of the Earth

Hello,

We are learning about the structure of the Earth.

I learnt that the Earth is made up of 4 layers. They are:

Facts about each layer:

Crust - Is what we are standing on. The crust is the 1st layer on Earth. Now if you keep on
digging 40kms you can't reacth the mantle because it will get too hot for you to even touch
the Mantle.

Mantle - The Mantle is the 2nd layer on Earth. The Mantle is made out of rock but because
the Mantle is so hot the rocks melt then it gets all squishy and it's like liquid.

Outer Core - The outer core is liquid metal - also mostly Iron and Nickel. The outer core is
4000 - 6000 OC. It is totally liquid.

Inner Core - The very centre of the Earth is the inner core, which is mostly Iron and Nickel.

The inner core is solid because of the pressure pushing down on it from the layers above.

Our group - Ariana, Me and Teziah 

First we created a 3D image of the earth using clay and paint.

We then cut the shape in half to show the different layers. After waiting for it to dry, we identified
each layer by painting them in different colours.

Below are some pictures of our work.

     

Mixed ability Maths

Mixed ability Maths

Hello bloggers,

This term we have been doing a different sort of maths. Mixed ability Maths. We also have a mixed- ability maths group so we can work together and solve the maths problem together. We also get to write what you think the answer is and you need to show the others in our group how you can work it out.  We can see and learn the other person's strategies and see if they got their answer right.


I think that mixed ability is a very good way for us to work our maths problems. If somebody in your group needs help to work the problem out you don't need to stand up and go and waste their time while they are waiting for you to and help them if you are helping someone else to work out there problem too.  Now the person next to you can help you out with the problem. 


I feel like mixed ability maths is really good for your brain because you can get better, and better, and better, until you get to a high school level. 


I enjoy it because it is a lot of fun and it keeps our brains working and gets our maths to a new level. 

Hayley's Maths Understanding

Hello bloggers,
 This week, we have been making a Google Drawing to show  our maths. On the first day that we did this we had to finish three maths problems but some people did all of the maths problems and Miss D was very happy with them.  Here is my slideshow.

The living world

Hello, This my slideshow. For the next five or six weeks we will choosing our own activities to learn about the living world. We did multiple intelligences test to see what kind of learner we were. My top three ways of learning  intelligences are;

1. Naturalist
2. Musical
3. Visual
I am look forward to learning about The living world.

Earth Worms

Last week we did a slide about earthworms. We have been learning about this thing called digging deeper to write more complex sentences. Here are my sentences -




1. Earthworms would go the dark side than the light side.

2. Earthworms like to go in nice and moist soil than normal dirt.

3. Earthworms can breath under water so they can stay away from the birds so they can't be eaten.

I liked doing this earthworm thing because I have learn't new things that I have not heard before and learning new things about earthworms.

Fishbone

We have been learning how to write explanations and also

doing research about the living world so our teachers gave us this writing task. We learned what a fishbone diagram is and how to use a completed one to make our own using a life form of our choice. We had to organise the fact boxes by using MRS GREN which is an acronym which reminds you about what life forms do. Here is mine. I chose to write about:

What I liked about this task: I liked writing the facts about the clown fish.

What was easy: Finding the facts.

Figure Me Out

Hello bloggers
 Last week all made a Google  Drawing. We were learning statistics and we had to write some equations whose answers had to be  number that had something to do with us. We called this Figure me out.  W are learning you  can do maths  in a different ways. It was hard to figure out where to put my boxes.
I enjoyed doing this because I learnt more about maths and writing.
Here it is, I hope you like it....
 

My Multiple Intelligences Test

Here is the test I did on the Multiple Intelligences site. We did this so we could find out what strengths and weaknesses we have we we are learning.
