Check out this great measurement work
This term we did some math about measurements. My favourite activity was breaking bags. We need to put 500g bottles into the bag and we need to count how many kg of things we can be put in this bag. I learned lots of units like CM, MM, KM, G, KG, ML, L.
In Te Maunga this week we had a visit from the Northland Science Roadshow. We have done rockets, spectroscopy, and water testing. The testing water is about you got a small bottle of water and you put different things on there. In water testing I learned if the water is yellow or red you can't drink. In rocket I learned if you put water in a bottle and put lots of air in there it will fly so far. In spectroscopy I learned in different ways you can see different things.
This term we did cricket. I learned how to hold the bat. In cricket we need to use the bat to bat the ball away and if the ball doesn't bounce on the ground and if someone just catches you will be out
Last week we did poetry. In Poetry we read books then we write some language into squares. I know “Alliteration” is a sentence that starts with the same sound, like “Henry’s huge house.” I learned how to write good poems.
Last term we did geometry. We did four activities, my favourite activities were about constructions. My group made a huge cube but we didn’t finish because we didn't have enough time.
In the last term we did films. My group did the film“In the beginning.” For the puppets we made some Maori Gods. Tane and Tangaroa and Tu and Rongo and Tawhirimatea and Haumia. I learned that we need lots of time to do one thing properly.
