Science Day

At Paihia School on Friday we had some people come to our School and their names were Taiyo, Kaitlyn, Nina and Juan. What they did with us was they made toothpaste that was for elephants. They also made some fire and then put it out with a metal bowl. They made roses turn into a frozen rose and smashed it onto the table and gave them to the boys. They also put a balloon into the container and the balloon nearly turned into ice and then they pulled it out and it came out as a normal balloon then they hit into the children. It was so fun.

Pet Day

In Te Maunga we have been doing things for the A&P show like posters so that it can go to the competition. At the pet show Cj’s cat won a ribbon for the fattest cat. Also at the pet show Cj’s other cat won a ribbon for the hairiest cat. My favorite part of the day was eating my cookies that I made.

WATER SAFETY

In Te Maunga we have been doing water safety and we learnt how to stay safe around water. I learnt  that if you go on a boat you have to tell someone where you are going and what time you will be back. I also learnt that you are not to go swimming with a teenager because they will be too busy looking at their phones or talking or their girl or boy friend. You should always go with an adult.

Rebecca Brothers

At Paihia School Rebecca Brothers came to our School to tell us about her Olympic journey. Rebecca Brothers has won over one hundred medals and that is amazing to hear.

Geometry

In Te Maunga we have been doing geometry. The thing that was hard for me was counting how many corners. The easy thing was counting how many edges, and faces. The hard thing was nothing. What I learnt was 3 and 2d shapes.

Procedural Writing

In Te Maunga we have been doing procedural writing text we are also trying to make our writing better than before. Procedural writing is my favorite writing. We were doing our procedural writing about our Game, Beeswax wraps, pikelets, Bird ball… my favorite procedural writing was the pikelets because we goto make them and even eat them.

Flubber

In Te Maunga we have been making flubber. Flubber is like slime but in a different way. To make the flubber we needed borax, water, food coloring, one cup of water, 4 cups of pva glue and four tps of borax. When we tried making the flubber it did not work because we put to much water.

Fitness

At Paihia School all the classes do fitness and when we do fitness there are different sorts of activities. There are hurdles, jump jam, races, skipping and the last one is like a work out. My favorite activity is the hurdles. You do fitness to get fit. Fitness is also good for your health. The hardest activity for me was the jump jam. If you run around your heart will start to beep.

Rocky Shores

At the start of week 2 or 3 we made a google drawing presentation about the rocky shores but before we made a google drawing our whole class and one other class and that was the Te Tahuna we walked over to the Paihia rocky shores. In our inquiry we had to look at a rocky shore how it is suppose to look like then we looked at the Paihia rocky shores and compared them. Then we had to do the different and the same on the google drawing. At the Paihia rocky shores there were small tiny crabs and the other one had huge massive and big crabs the crabs were slippery slidey and the nippers were as sharp as a knife. We need to look after the environment.

At the start of term two we made some new math goals. My hardest goals were Reading decimals to 3dp. We had to pick the goals we did not achieved last term and put them in our math goals. When we finished the math goals we showed the teacher and she printed it when the teacher printed it we put a large piece of paper under the math goals and stuck the math goals on then we put it on the wall.

Term 2 writing goals

At the begging term two our whole class made writing goals and we had to pick the goals we did not achieve last term. We did it on a google drawing. I chose those goals because I did not achieve those goals in term one. The hardest goal for me is the suffixes/prefix.
