Tree house

 We have been learning how to use mood and atmosphere. Here is a picture of our tree house that my group made ad the adjectives to describe the mood.

 Can you guess the atmosphere?

Our Maths.

Hello fellow bloggers,

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'.

My word problem.

Cordeila has 76 sheep, Galaxy has 4 cows and Trident has 11 foxes.

How many animals do they have altogether?            

76+4+11=91

76+4=80

80+11=91

Team Moana Ski Trip 2020

Hello fellow bloggers,

last week Team Moana went to Mt. Ruapehu for the ski trip.  It took a long time to get there but luckily we had some movies to watch and some songs to sing.  Then a few hours later we arrived at Piper's Lodge . On the second day we went skiing at Whakapapa ski field.  First we had free time skiing then a little bit later we had ski lessons. After that we had more free time skiing.  
Here is a picture of me at Whakapapa ski field.

Feet measurement

Hello fellow bloggers,

For maths we've been measuring feet.  I measured Hayley ,Max and Busters feet. First we  estimated the size of the feet and then estimated the feet with wool. Then we estimated the wool. Once we eastimated the wool, I finally got to measure the wool with a 1 metre ruler. You can see how much centimetres their feet are. 

Tectonic plates

 Hello fellow bloggers,

last Friday we did an experiment  with wafers and homemade tomato sauce.   The tomato sauce was magma and the wafers were the crust of the Earth. Mrs B punched a hole in the wafer and we slowly pressed the wafer down. We also moved the wafers side to side, apart from each other and we moved them towards each other copying the ways that the actual plates move. Here are some photos of our experiment.

NZ little bittern

Hello fellow bloggers,

Last term we did a bird inquiry of extinct birds for science I was doing the New Zealand Little Bittern with my group. In the 1890's the New Zealand Little Bittern went extinct.

The easy thing to do was get pictures of the Little bittern

The hard thing to do was  find facts of the Little bittern

The learning behind the task was.. Researching about extinct  birds.
