tree hut adjectives

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

My day off School

Turtle MRS GREN

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: Writing about the turtle

What was easy:

Structure of the Earth

Structure of the Earth Facts

We are learning about the structure of the Earth.

I learnt that the Earth is made up of 4 layers. They are the Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core.

Facts about each layer:

Crust - The crust is the thinnest layer on the Earth. It is were we live and it is between 8 to 40 km thick.

Mantle - The mantle is the thickest layer and it is made out of Iron and Nickel. The mantle is so hard and deep that you can't dig straight through it.

Outer Core - The Outer Core can reach up to 4,000 C to 6,000 C. The Outer Core is squishy like a marshmallow.   

Inner Core - The final layer is the Inner Core, it is the hottest and deepest part of the Earth. Even though it is extremely hot in the inner core, it remains solid because of the pressure created by the other layer all around it.

Our group -  Kane,Max,Jaxon

First we created a 3D image of the earth using clay, knife 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

Christmas tree

Today Team Awa sketched a Christmas tree and explained what Christmas was about. We wrote a poem about Christmas.

It was grandparents day.

                                           It was grandparents day at school today.  

Today grandma and I did the three legged race but we weren’t very good at it and we did a gumboot throw and I sucked at it and grandma was really bad as well. There was a Tennis ball on a spoon race and my ball keep falling off and grandma’s ball stayed on. Grandma had a cup of tea and two pieces of cake and I had a piece of rice bubble cake. And we brought Rory’s nana home and Rory came over to play.

Pou writing

As part of our writing programme we have been doing environmental writing. We had to sketch an object and as we were sketching we wrote down thoughts that we had. Then we wrote our thoughts down  as a poem. We cut out the sketch and added this to our writing.
