Math Equations!

W.A.L.T Show our thinking when we solve problems.

For Maths today I chose five equations that my teacher gave to my class. Then I put them on a Google Drawing. Were my answers right?
Here is my Google Drawing.

Religious Education

For R.E Room one made an animation about the Easter Story. It was very fun making it. Would you want to make an animation about The Easter Story? If not what would you make an animation about?

Animal Town

W.A.L.T Write with a purpose.

For writing today I chose another picture from Pobble 365. Today I chose Animal Town!

Would you want to write about this?
Here is my story!

It was a bright and sunny day, and I was going on a trip with my Mum and Dad to Animal Town! I didn't even know it existed, but my parents didn't either. I thought it would be like a zoo, with lots of animals in huge cages! My Mum thought it would be lots of pictures of Animals like a museum! But my Dad didn't know what it would be like.

We got in the car and drove off to my friends house, her name is Lizzy, Lizzy came with us. Then we went to the bus stop, because we aren't allowed cars in Animal Town. I don't know why but it's fine. The bus takes 2 hours and 30 minutes to get to Animal Town! Luckily in the bus we were in it was allowed food and drinks so we got some food and drinks. It made the ride a lot better. I asked Mum, “What food do they sell there? Or what do they have?” “I heard they have fish fingers and buttermilk! But they don't have toilet paper. I think they use leaves! Luckily I bought some” Mum replied. 

Eventually we made it! There were numerous amount of Pictures of animals everywhere! “I think it is just lots of animal pictures everywhere! Haha! I was right! Like always” Mum excitedly shouted. Suddenly hundreds of animals came sprinting over to the bus! They all ran over Lizzy! Lizzy shouted “I think I have a dislocated arm! Oh wait no nevermind it is just a graze” “Umm I suppose none of us were right. It is just a town full of animals. Lizzy are you okay?” Dad asked. “I think so,” Lizzy said. “Oh no I think you broke it! There are no hospitals here so we have to go back!” Dad Bellowed sadly.

Well another long drive back. “Wait a minute, is that a giraffe driving us back?!?” Lizzy yelled!

The End.

Reading

W.A.L.T Identify a Character from a story.

For Reading we had to make a character web about a character in the book we are reading. I am Reading Girltopia and I chose Arabella.

I chose her because I think she is the main character and because I know a lot about her, and I dont know much about the other characters.

I think the story is very interesting. I dont usually like reading books but I do enjoy reading Girltopia.

Would you want to read Girltopia? Or have you already read it?

Here is my Character Web!

Studyladder

For Maths Today I played Studyladder for 15 minutes. It was kinda fun but I got bored of it after a while. Do you have Studyladder? If not would you want to play it? Here is a screenshot of me playing Studyladder.

The Easter Story

For R.E. we had to summarize the story of Jesus getting nailed to the cross. Did I summarize the
story right?

Jesus is the son of God, while Jesus was on earth he saved people from their sickness. He did many miracles like calming huge storms, and he even raised people from the dead.

The Jewish leaders and teachers did not like what Jesus was doing, or how he claimed to be
the son of God. So they made a plan to arrest him and to get rid of him for good. Judas, one of
Jesus´ disciples, agreed to betray Jesus, and give him over to the religious leaders for some
money!

They arrested Jesus and took him to the Religious Leaders. The Religious Leader decided to
crucify Jesus. They kicked Jesus, spat on him, his clothes were torn and taken from him, they
put a crown made out of thorns on his head, and forced him to carry his cross up the mountain!

He was beaten so badly that he couldn't stand on his own! So he needed help carrying the cross
up the mountain! Once he made it to the place he was getting crucified which is called the skull.
They nailed him to the cross and waited for him to die.

Then two ladies went to go see Jesus but Jesus was gone! Because he came back to life for 40
days!

The End.

Writing

For writing I chose a picture from Pobble 365 and I done this one. It is about a kid falling into a painting and then they get stuck in it. Do you think my writing was interesting?

                      Alive

Today I had to go to the boring art gallery. My Mum loves going there But all it is
is some rooms with paintings! When we arrived my Mum stormed off to go look
at her favorite painting. She wants to be an artist some day, her paintings are
amazing! I pulled my phone out of my pocket and listened to some music on the
radio station, waiting for my Mum to finish at the art gallery.

My Mum snatched my phone out of my hands and told me to go look at the
paintings with animals on them. I went to the elephant paintings, I went through
the door, but I tripped on something on the floor and accidentally fell on the
painting! I leaned on the painting to see if I had a graze on my knee, but I
slowly fell back into the elephant painting. Then I was completely in the painting.

I heard elephants everywhere! I slowly looked up, then an elephant said hi to
me! I screamed, I don't know how I am gonna get out of here! If my Mum never
told me to go look at some paintings then I would have not been in this painting
but now I am! I will probably be stuck forever!

Suddenly I woke up, Phew it was just a dream. “Come on we're going to the art
gallery” Shouted Mum. Oh no! 

Girltopia

W.A.L.T Recreate a scene from a story.

For Reading I read a book called Girltopia. It is about a place where all the boys got some weird virus and they all stayed home so it is like a entire town with only girls. I think that the story is pretty fun to read.

I also made a DLO about a scene from the story. Would you want to read Girltopia or have you already read it?

Maths!

W.A.L.T Show our thinking when we solve problems.

For Maths I made a DLO about 5 math equations. I showed how I solved them a wrote them down on a google drawing. This is my Google Drawing! Would you choose my 5 equations or other equations?

Pigeons

For Reading, I am learning about Pigeons! I made two Pigeon Montages, I done a thing about Cher Ami, and I made made a Google Slide about whether I think a Pigeon is special or a pest. Would you want to learn about Pigeons?

My Recount

Room one went to Hanmer Springs Forest Camp for Camp it was really fun. We made a recount about it and we made a google drawing of something we done at camp. Is my recount interesting?

Hanmer Springs Camp

Last week, Room 1 went to Hanmer Springs Forest Camp. We went to many different places.
It was very fun.

First we arrived at school. We had to put our bags outside the office so they could get put into the
trailer, and we put our day packs on our desks. Then we went into our cars. I was in George’s car,
the people in the car were Raima, Kaysha, Kade, Kata, and Gabby. Then we went for our boring
long drive to Hanmer Springs. 

When we got to Hanmer Springs Forest camp, we had our morning tea. Then we went to Conical
Hill. We  had to climb up it, it felt like it went on forever because it just went up and up and up.
Eventually we made it to the top. Everyone's faces were as bright as an apple. But then we had
to go back down, it was a lot easier than going up though. Sadly since we didn't do the Dog
Stream walk we had to walk back to the camp. It was so tiring, and we just walked up a big hill
so walking back after climbing the big hill was really tiring.

Once we got back to the Hanmer Springs Forest camp, we went into the kitchen and Miss
Holland gave us all an ice-block. Since it was as hot as the sun, so it was very nice to have it.
After that we got our keys to our cabins so we could put our togs on. Once we put our togs on we
went to the pools. The first thing I did was go to a pool with Gabby. After a bit of swimming we
went on the hydroslides! It was very fun. I went on the hydroslides with Liv and Gabby. The
hydroslides looked as tall as a three story building! Then we went in the pools again and just
played. Some people went on each other's shoulders, and some other people were jumping
into the pool. When we had to go we got dressed and went back to the camp.

The next day we did orienteering! We got put into some groups, and looked for number markers.
My group and another group came together into one big group and looked for the number
markers together. We all had a map each, and the map had numbers on it. Where the numbers
are is where the number markers were. We had to write down the numbers, there were also
some letters too. Then once we wrote down the number and the letters. We went to find some
more. My group and the other one came second in the orienteering. I forgot how many points
we got though.

After that we got put into two groups. One of the groups was gonna go tree climbing and the
other was gonna go mountain biking. I wanted to do tree climbing first, but sadly I was mountain
biking. I didn't want to do mountain biking because I don't really like doing it. 

First we got our bikes and helmets. Then we went around the camp with our bikes and tested all
the gears. After that we got split into another two groups. I don't know what the other group was
doing. My group went to the easy rider track. There were lots of turns and roots on the track,  It
was as hard as running in cross country! Then we did snakes and ladders, snakes and ladders
are just lots of hills and turns everywhere. I thought it was fun doing that, but only when I went
down, I didn't like going up because it was tiring. Then we went back to the camp.

The next day my group did tree climbing and the other group did mountain biking. At tree
climbing there were lots of bees! Some people got stung but luckily I didn't. The tree climbing
instructors gave us harnesses and helmets that we had to put on. It was really confusing when
I was trying to put my harness on. Then I put it on too tight but I Then the instructor told us what
we had to do while we climbed the tree. The instructor said we have to not worry about the bees,
so we started to climb the tree. There were three trees I tried on two but I only made it to the top
on one of them, I felt like a monkey climbing the tree. I thought it was a lot more fun than
mountain biking.

Then we went back to school. So that means another long boring drive back. My favorite thing I
did there was tree climbing, sleeping although the mattress was as hard as a rock. I still liked
sleeping, and eating some of the food, we had to have vegetables with our dinner! They were
green like leaves on a tree. I didn't like mountain biking though, I don't want to do it again.
I thought camp was very fun! I would like to go there again someday.

Trip

Today Room One, Two, and Three went on a trip.

We went to the park first. I played with Charlee, Raima, and Amelie. Raima and Charlee went on the swing. Amelie and I were pushing them and Charlee flew off the swing. It was really funny.

Then we went to the Museum. A lady explained some things to us like, how Men and Women couldn't go to the beach together, and how a Man was selling ostrich eggs and their feathers and the ostriches ran out on New Brighton Road, and how New Brighton beach caught on fire, and the kids took a day off school and put the fire out. We also explored the museum, that was fun.

Then we went to the library. At the library Charlee, Raima, Amelie and I colored in some coloring things. I colored in a turtle.

Then we had to go back to school. It was a very fun trip.

Would you want to go on a trip like that?

Visual Mihi

W.A.L.T Identify who we are using are using a visual Mihi.

Today I finished doing my Visual Mihi. Room one had to draw our Mountain, our river, what we like, our flag, and Korus that represent all of our family members. We also made an avatar, some people drew them but I made mine. Then we done the outline with crayon or vivid I used crayon. Then we could color with crayons or the dye. I used the crayons. Once I finished coloring we dyed the background. Then we glued our avatars on them.

I chose the symbols because they are the things I like. I drew a drawing on paper, a tree, a flower, a cat, and food. I would of drawn more but I couldn't think of anything else. I also drew a kiwi and a rugby ball because they are New Zealand things.

Next time I do a Visual Mihi, I am going to not make my drawings as detailed because when I out lined them with crayon it was kinda hard. I liked drawing the pictures because I like drawing.

Would you want to make a Visual Mihi?
