Awesome Artwork

 Today we got to get a glimpse of what the summer learning journey is. The summer learning journey is a programme that happens over summer where we are given fun tasks to do that include reading, writing, maths and many more. Our task today was to colour in a photo. This was the one I created which I call "Two dudes selling watermelons"

The Digestive System

For the past few weeks we have been learning about information reports and how to write them. Last week we were allowed to choose what we wanted to write an information report on. Only problem was I didn't know what to write about! Luckily I had a solution, I asked my teacher to think of a random word, and out of the 270,000 words in the English dictionary she chose oesophagus. As oesophagus was a bit to brief, I chose to write about the digestive system. I did a lot of research and it was a lot of fun to write and I learnt heaps.

Did you know that the adults digestive system is up to 9 metres in adults!

Did you learn anything about the Digestive System?

Water care Flowchart

For inquiry we have been learning about the different stages of water care and how the water from lakes, dams, and rivers reaches our taps and what the different stages do and why they are important. We then had to make flow charts explaining what each stage does and the process. Did you know New Zealand is one of the few countries that can drink water straight from taps?

Do you know any of the stages of water care?

John Pule Presentation

This week we celebrated Niuean language week. One of the things we did was research and learn about Niuean artist John Pule. We learnt about some of the painting he did and his life story. It was really interesting to learn about his paintings and what they meant as he likes to ask questions with his paintings. 

This is the presentation that I made about John Pule.

Did you learn anything for Niuean language week? If so write it in the comments!

Magnificent Maori Leaders

 Last week was Maori language week. During reading, we had to do a presentation on a Maori leader or celebrity and information about them. I chose to do Hone Heke whom was a Maori chief. We researched information about what they did, and why they are a leader or idol. 

Do you know any Maori leaders or celebrities? 

Brilliant Basic Facts!

Throughout the year, most mornings we have done Prototec (a basic facts site) to help us get better at our basic facts. I have been doing stage 8 for a while and the other day I got my highest score yet! I am really happy and proud of myself for achieving this goal and I can't wait to improve even more.

Persuading Persuasive Piece

For writing we have been learning about persuasive texts and how to write them. We have been doing debates to help us understand and get better at persuading. The topic was whether or not digital technology should be removed from schools or not and I chose that digital technology should be removed from schools

What do you think makes a good persuasive text?

Quality Comments!

 Today in cyber smart we learnt about how to post a quality comment on blogs! We were given examples and then had to fill out the slides. it was a bit challenging trying to make a connection, but I am happy that I have learnt how to do it

Awesome Astonishing Blog!

We learnt how to make quality blog posts so that our blogs can be the best we can make them. We had to move boxes into the correct column wether not it would make a good quality blog post or not.

I enjoyed learning about how to make a good quality blog post. My next steps would be to add labels or a catchy title to my blog post.

Thanks for reading my blog!
