THE ALIENS ARE COMING!

This week on Monday we were learning about the Northwest Pacific Tree Octopus. The Northwest Pacific Tree Octopus was a fake and were doing a slide about it still. Afer that we were writing a fake news slide and this is what I wrote.

                   

That is what I wrote for yesterday and today for fake news. What would you write in to days for a fake news story?

Blue Penguins

Today we went to the beach to look for blue penguins and different tracks in the sand. We went in our groups that we went in the cars, I went with Nate, Tasman and Violet. After we went to the beach we went to Wadeson Island to talk about whitebait and other stuff. My favourite part was looking for tracks in the sand. If you went to the beach what would you like to do the most?

Discovery Friday

Today was Discovery Friday. We were doing what it would look like in an earthquake. We had to get into four groups with six people in it. In our four groups we made an liquifaction with corn flour and water we added about one table spoon of corn flour and about half a table spoon af water. When we mixed the water and the corn flour together it was hard at the bottem and like liquid at the top, also if we try to poke our finger in it, it goes all hard.

Would you like to do this one day? 

Sensory Garden

In class we have been making an sensory garden. There is going to be a boat also sound, sight, smell and texture in it. I’m doing texture with Tara, Sophie, Indi and Ollie. We are doing it for next year.  Today we have been putting all of our ideas in our slides. The meters are 3.5 by 4.5. If you were making a sensory garden what would you put in it?

Kapa Haka

On Wednesday the 20th of September the Kapa haka group went up to Reefton to perform. There were hundreds of people and lots of different schools. When we were waiting to do our Kapa Haka performence we got to play on the playground and when we were there the sausages were free. We had to get changed into our outfits at quarter to 12:00 pm. After we all got dressed we did a practice one last time before the performance. Our school Kaniere went on the stage at 12:20 and came off stage by 12.30. It was really fun. Would you like to do Kapa Haka in Reefton?

Daffodil day

Today we have been making sheep.We also made some daffodils. For the sheep we had to break some cotton balls into like four pieces, and glued the pieces onto the sheep. Also for the daffodils we had to make six petals and staple them together and use cellotape to make them stay all together.

Which one would you choose to do?

Dimantic Poem

This week we have been making Dimante poems.We have two adjectives,three verbs and two nouns. Next we think of two opposite things and put one at the top and one at the bottem and at the end its supposed to look like a diamond shape. Then think of two adjectives for both opisite after you have done that put the two things that you chose at the bottom and the other two things at the top. Next you have to think of three nerbs for each one,then you have to do the same as before after that think of two nouns and put them in the same row. What opposites would you do?
