Leaf GIF

Hi,

This week Team Moana has been working on some GIFs they have been about leaves. What I liked about this task was that we could make it our self. What I found hard was that I took a while to make what I found easy was that we could just copy and paste when making the animation. The learning behind this task was to learn how to make a GIF. Here is my GIF down below hope you like it! 

Tree house mood's

 We have been learning how to use adjectives to describe a mood and atmosphere. here is a picture of our tree that my group made and the adjectives to describe the mood. Can you guess the mood and atmosphere?

Team Moana Ski Trip 2020

Last week we went on a ski trip to Mt Ruapehu we stayed at Piper's loge. Then the next day we went to Whakapapa ski field. That is where we learnt how to ski. It was really fun learning how to ski then we got free time which was even more fun.

Head measuring slides

This week we have been doing measurements. We have measured heads and feet we did it withe a  piece of string and a ruler I found hard was to eastamate my head and I found easy was to measure my head here is my head measurements.

Tectonic plates

Kia ora 

We did an experiment about tectonic plates. We made them with tomato sauce and wafers.  What I found hard was to make the tectonic plates go on top of each other.  What I found easy was to make them go beside each other.

lahar

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.

Huia Research

Kia Ora

These couple of terms we have been doing a lot of research we have done some research about birds my Bird is a Huia we had groups for it I had Tanner and Zavier. The hard part was to get the information. The easy part was to right it down. I learnt that birds a a group of warm blooded animals.

Making Fake Whitebait Fritters

This term for our novel study, Mrs A read us Whitebait Fritters which is a novel written by a Kiwi author Kingi McKinnon.  My favourite part in Whitebait Fritters was when: my favourite part of the book was when they went whitebaiting.

To wind up our learning we decided to make some fake whitebait fritters because we can’t afford to buy real whitebait. We used grated potato to take the place of whitebait and mixed it with eggs and onions. They were really tasty. Then we had to write out the recipe, put it on a Google Drawing and add some images. You can see my work below.

Maths 1 Geometry Safari

This term for maths we have been learning about 2D and 3D geometry.  Jayme, sienna 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 1 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.

this week we have been doing activity's  I have made
