Mathmatics

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'.

Hi

Last week we all went on a trip well most of us. We had a blast with our parents that looked after us.

Hi

This week we were measuring feet and heads using a piece of wool.  We had to estimate our feet and head before we measured them using our wool and a metre ruler.

What was hard? Getting the measurement from the string and ruler.

What was easy?Writing the measurement on the slide.

Here it is:

Lahar work

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.

My day off School

My DNA Monster

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 smart and his name is really cool.

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 when they where catching kahawai 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.

Science: 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. The sentences highlighted in blue are the ones that Miss Fletcher said were not precise and clear enough.  Twenty six people said they could recognise me from my description.

DNA

Here is a bracelet that is about my DNA and here is a photo of it.

SLJ DAY 3 Wk 3

Kia Ora,

 My name is Max,

I would love to live in a tiny house because you can move it around whenever you want and they are possible to move to wherever you want.

My sister wouldn't like to live in a tiny house, because there is not a lot of room to walk around and play games.

I think tiny houses are so awesome because I can have a sea view or a view of the bush and I could go around the country and see lots of different things but still be in the comfort of my own Tiny House.

Here is a photo of the tiny house that I would like to live in.
