Super Science

 In Te Ngahere we went to the Bay Of Islands college. We went there to do the science Roadshow. We had to go into a room and sit down. Then we saw two scientists that were going to show us about the different types of gases. After that we had to go into groups of three then we could go to any of the science  experiments. there was a really interesting science project where you had to put a small ball into a tube and then lift something and then the ball shot out at a target. My favorite thing was a really fun electricity quiz.In the electricity quiz you had a question where you had to hold the button next to it and the button next to the answer.

Super Island Song

 In Te Ngahere the year 6’s went to Urupukapuka. We were trying to bring back all the native birds and kill all the pests. We had to get at school at least under 8:30 because that is when we were going to leave. We had to walk all the way to the wharf and hop on a big boat. We brought things like plants and trap pieces and almost everyone had a job but I didn’t. Before we went on the boat our bags had to get cheeked incase we were hiding any rats or pests. When we got on the boat we got given a clipboard a activity book and a pen or pencil. We also had to look out for some different animals flying over the sea. I sat with one of my best friends Jesse. We looked out the window of the boat and we saw some stingrays. We stopped at one island and we saw some baby birds. Then we moved on. When we got to the island we sat down and had morning tea. After that we had to split into 2 groups. My group was gardening we had to go and take the most EXHAUSTING walk up a BIG hill and over a fence. We also had to bring some plants with us.  We went to a place where we had to do the gardening. We had to dig Up the grass and then dig a big hole in the dirt and put the plant in then we had to cover the plant and say a prayer it was pretty fun.Then we had to go back. Lucky we didn’t have to go up the hill we took a nice walk up a track. In the track we saw one fantail and TWO SADDLEBACKS they’re my favorite bird. We all had to carry something and I carried a spayde. When we got back we switched activities. This time we were making rat traps. We had to get in groups of three. We had a screwdriver a bunch of screws and a few pieces of traps. When we built it we had to design it. After that we had a check at a house we saw dogs and a bird house. When we got back we had to leave. We also saw some snapper. We hoped on the boat and left when we left we saw some Bottlenose Dolphins.

Awesome P.E

 In Te Maunga and Te Ngahere we have been doing P.E rotations. We had to get in our house groups and line up. Then we had to go with one teacher that would do a different activity. We had a few different activities to do. We could do Skills, Soccer, Touch or Netball. I really enjoyed doing these PE activity and I thought it was very fun. Basically for the skills activity we were just doing some fun and activities like getting in a circle and practising throwing and catching balls when we did a hole loop we stepped back a bit and repeated the cycle. 

Have you done P.E.?

The Awesome Narrative

 In Te Ngahere we have been doing narrative writing. We had to write a story that was made up about anything we want. I wrote about a haunted house I still haven't finished but it is really fun to do. First we had to write a plan for out narrative when we were writing we could not redo our plan. We had to make sure we had a good amount of detail in our narrative writing. I did a lot of writing and I found my writing very fun to read. Also when the writing time was over we had to go to a buddy and share our writing.

super cyber smart

 In Te Ngahere we have been doing a fun thing called cyber smart. For this activity we had to make a google drawing and then use the shapes tool to make fish. We made fish because we were learning to use the shapes to explain something in a fun and creative way I found this activity really interesting and fun because we were doing something better than work. I learnt the cool things I can 

make with one tool. I think this activity was very fun

I hope we could do it again. I really did well in making the fish.

The Excellent Epro8

 In Te Ngahere we have been doing a thing called Epro8. Epro8 is all about measurement. The last Epro8 we had to try make a catapult with 30 sticks, 30 rubber bands, some tape, a piece of a4 and a3 pieces of paper. For this we had to watch a video teaching us about different types of energy. We needed to use two types of energy potential energy and kinetic energy. Potential energy is when all the energy is stored inside the energy, kinetic energy is when all the energy moves out. What we did well was planning it. What we didn’t do well was listening to everyone's ideas or trying them. I dont think that I helped much so i’ll do that next time.

Have you done Epro8?

Confusing Test

 In Te Ngahere the teachers gave us a reading test to teach us to read instructions carefully. We had a piece of paper and we couldn’t look at it. We had four minutes to read as much of the instructions as we could. We had all sorts of things to do. The first thing we had to do was read each sentence carefully before doing anything after that. We had to do things like call out loudly our first name, or we had to draw squares on our paper. But then the last thing we had to do said, after reading each thing carefully only do sentence one and two. We did it wrong because we only read a little bit and zoomed on and did everything else. Then we didn’t know we had to only do number one and two because we didn’t read the instructions carefully. When we read the last question we all kinda laughed. next time I will read it carefully.

Do you think you could do this test?

Fun Facts

 This week in Te Ngahere we have been learning about the coastal seas. We watched a video about the coastal seas by David Attenborough. We had to find at least 10 facts about the coastal seas. It was very interesting and easy because it was 49 mins long. After that we had to make a DLO about it. My facts where,Dolphins use sonar to look for prey using echolocation,Seagrass takes loads of carbon dioxide and they capture it, sharks mostly hunt in the darkness, when the sea is warm the coral will lose food and die,  in the sea, giant kelp can grow up to 50 meters tall ,sea urchins are otters favorite meal . Sea urchins are eaten by wrasse. fish females lay eggs on the sea grass, in coastal seas jellyfish are taking over the seas, manta rays wings can grow up to 7m.

Super Smart Surfing

 This week in Te Ngahere we have been learning about key word searches. For this task we had to make a copy of a Google slide presentation and do what the slide presentation says.  We had four words and we had to highlight the key words and we couldn't use how or what. After that we had to go on to the next slide. For this we had to get the key words from the last slide and type them on Google. After that we had to get the links from there and link the key words. Next we had to make our own question and look for the key words and link that. I find keyword searches very easy because when you use how in your search it grabs everything that has how in it. But in keyword searches you get the answer you want.

Have you heard of keyword searches?

Terrific Te Reo

 In Te Ngahere we have been learning how to pronounce Maori words properly. We had to go on a site called Education Perfect.We had options to choose from, we could do the Maori alphabet, greetings and others. We had to start with the Maori vowels then work our way up. Later we had to make a DLO about it. For this we had to go on Education Perfect and make a screencastify about us saying the Maori alphabet, greetings in Maori and then place names. I found this very easy because all we had to do was do a screencastify and put it on a DLO.

When we got there we had to walk all the way to Russell School. At Russell School their where two pools one was deep and one was shallow very shallow. We had the confident people go in the deep pool and the people that struggle or aren't comfortable in the deep end in the shallow pool. I had to go in to the shallow pool we had to practice gliding in the water. The water was very cold. I got out of the pool because it was too cold.

The Terrific Food Web

 In Te Ngahere we have been learning about the food web for our Ngahere. We had 10 pictures and had to put them in order to make a food web. Then we had to put arrows pointing to what animal eats it. The arrows on my teacher's food web are different colors because it’s easy to see because every animal that gets eaten by an animal is one color arrow. The arrows are pointing to what animal eats it because the energy goes to the other animal that is called an energy transfer. A food web is when you show what eats what animal and what that animal eats kind of in a chain. My food web is not right because I should've colored the arrows that go to one animal and different colors to a different animal. Also my arrows are pointing the wrong direction. Lastly I dont have enough arrows. 

Have you heard of a food web ?

The Scary Tsunami

 

In The whole Bay Of Islands their was almost a tsunami I was very terrified we had to walk up a big hill which made me very tired. Then the alarm went off. I felt very scared I even cried. We stayed up the hill for about 4 1/2 hours. We watched the ripples in the water. Later in the day some people came with our bags. We ate some food from our lunch boxes and then some people came with some sausages they were very spicy. Gina was also doing quizzes about movies. Then I think it was over I went down with my nana I told my class where I was and lied on the couch. I was a bit angry that I didn't see the tsunami it would have been interesting to watch but not really.

Learning Lichtenstein

 

In Te Ngahere We have been learning about Roy Lichtenstein. He is a famous artist for using ben day dots and bright colors. We had to find six or more facts about him. 

He was born in 1923 in New York, he also made sculptures. He can make things look real from a distance. He was often accused by people saying he copied other comics. We had to read 2 things to get all the facts.   

I found it hard to find all of the facts and I learnt that if you use small dots it looks like another color. 

This is where we got the facts from. facts 1. Facts 2.
