Picnic reflection 2016

This year our picnic was a bit different we usually have picnic in term one but because of the weather it got moved to term four. So when I arrived at school  I was ready to go down to the beach and chill and maybe even play in the sand with my friends. Mr Burt then called all of the school into the hall for reminders and a quick talk about responsibility. Our class was called first to start walking down to the beautiful pt England reserve just across from our school. Other classes came following after.

When we got to the reserve we sat down again for another talk and then Off we all went. Every team had their own setting area our team were sitting under the trees near the cliff off onto the beach. Most people went down to the beach to play in the sand and find some crabs in the water. The water was quite out so we had to wait until later on to go swimming. I went down to look for some crabs I kept getting the biggest crabs, my friends called my the crab whisperer. I then sat down on the sand just playing with my friends trying to bury them in sand.

After a while I got bored so me and my friend Lucy went for a walk down the beach and started playing with the clay I had a whole handful of clay and made a circle. We walked back down to where we were sitting before. We sat up under the trees. I started eating and Lucy went to sleep. I just started talking to my friend Htete Htete and Quinlan we ate heaps of lollies and chocolate. I then went back down on the sand and played around again. I came back up later when all of our class was eating hot chips. Our teacher Mrs Tele’a shouted our whole class hot chips and drinks. It was also Cameo’s birthday and her friend Heather made a cookies and cream cheesecake for her. I thought that was so nice.  

Later on we had to leave so we all sat back down in the middle of the reserve and while waiting for everyone to come we had a karaoke. It was so funny some boys were funny when they were singing. Overall it was so fun I wish I could go back to that day or just have a picnic every Friday.

Earthquake letter

Here is my letter that I wrote.

To those who have been affected by the Earthquake,

We at Pt England school are deeply sympathetic and feel sorry for what you have lost. We hope you will recover soon our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

The 7.8 magnitude earthquake that hit must of impacted you a lot. I can only image what it must be like for you with broken homes,fallen trees and a loss of food supply. Even with power cuts and no internet!

This Natural disaster has created major landslides and total chaos but there's still many water and food supplies coming. This letter also goes out to the families who have lost a loved one or their house that had been broken into.

Hope,Faith,Happiness and peace these are all things we are praying for you and your family. We hope you all feel better soon. God bless we are thinking of you.

Wk 2 discussion doc

Task

Work on this Doc together with a partner or in a 3.

Give three examples of each state of matter?

Solid	Liquid	Gas
Wood	Water	Steam
Ice	Oil	Air
Stone	Blood	Helium

What’s the difference between the three states of matter?

Solids	Liquids	Gases
Solid molecules are close together and arranged in a regular way.	Liquids molecules are close together but not as tight as Solids molecules and not as.	Gases molecules do not touch. Their molecules are far apart from each other.

Write 3 sentences explaining something new you learned from this reading task.

We have learnt that molecules are the smallest particles can get. Another word for molecules is particles. The elements from the Periodic table are molecules. Some molecules from the periodic tables are natural and some have formed by mankind. More molecules are yet to be discovered.

This is my discussion doc I did with Seini we talk to each other about what we learnt and then wrote it done. We have explained what the differences between Solids,Liquids and Gases. We also gave some examples of each state of matter.

Rust

Fast Rust Task

Rust

Walt: Synthesise information from multiple sources.  

Success Criteria: I can make links between the multiple resources I access.

What 3 ingredients are needed for rust to occur.

Water

Oxygen

Iron

Write a brief paragraph explaining the rusting process (why rusting occurs)

Rusting occurs when Iron is exposed to moisture and oxygen. When iron has water or is damp and then the oxygen from the air goes into the water, The surface of the iron reacts with the oxygen mixed in water, it creates a thing called iron oxide. Iron oxide mixers with the water and creates hydrated iron oxide which is the red stuff we call rust.

How could you prevent something from rusting?

To help prevent iron or metal from rusting you can paint the places that are exposed to oxygen or moisture most people do this to bikes and cars. Another way to prevent rust is to add a layer of oil or grease some people oil their bicycle chains which slows done the process of rusting. To prevent rusting you can also use a sacrificial protection called Galvanizing. This method works when iron gets covered in zinc. The zinc is a self healing metal that is very effective and will last longer.

Write 3 sentences explaining something new you’ve learned from this reading.

From this reading I have learnt the different stages of how rust forms and develops. The different ways to prevent rust from occurring and learning and understanding different words like hydrated iron oxide, corrode, alloy, etc.

Geometry Wk5

Here is my presentation this week we learnt about Geometry. I found this kind of easy a part from two questions. I enjoyed this.

Think board Wk5

Here is my think board for the week. In the middle box is the equation we got and my answer. In the top box is my working out then in the right box is the strategy I used. In the bottom box I have written a word story problem and in the left box I have made 10 other similar questions.

Rio Olympics photo Nararritive

Here in Literacy we had to choose any picture to do with the Olympics, I choose this one and wrote a narrative about.

“Ahhhh” Yelled Julie in her head, she was nervous because they were about to start the race. She had trained for four years!! Julie and the rest of the athletes were stretching and getting themselves ready. One of the race starters said “Ok it’s time girls line up into your lanes.” Once they were all lined up Julie felt anxious and a bit sick. She could feel the crowd buzzing with excitement.

GO. All the Athletes started sprinted through the first lap and the second as well, but on the last lap Julie was in the lead suddenly a cat ran onto the track. Everyone in the stands stood in silence. This could ruin her chance of winning. Julie didn’t know what to do she was worried she was going to run it over. When she came closer to the cat she jumped over the it and won the race. The Crowd cheered.

 As she stood on the podium to receive her medal she saw in the distance the cat that was on the track. Julie felt as if she had known that cat forever. She went to get the cat and saw that it didn’t belong to anyone so she decided to take it home. She then adopted it and named him Sam.

The Bush

Here is my writing test we did about this photo I hope you enjoy

Start your writing here.

“Kait are you ready” said Sam, Kaitlyn and Sam where two ordinary Teenagers. They were going on a camp in the Mountain river hills where they were going to hang out with their friends Molly and Patrick. So off they went by the time they had reached the forest night had already fallen so they quickly set up their tents and went to sleep.

The next day they all went swimming in one of the rivers near from where they had set up their stuff. At nighttime they all toasted marshmallows over their fire which they had made out of wood. While they toasted marshmallows they told scary stories and one of the stories Molly told was about a man who lived in the forest many years ago he was a serial killer murdering anyone who dares step foot in the forest. Kaitlyn got chills up her spine while Sam nearly fell asleep. After a while they all got tired and went to sleep but Kaitlyn was still shaken by the story and couldn’t go to sleep but eventually after a while she slowly dozed off to sleep.

 A Sunny day had come on by and the group thought of taking a hike through the forest when they had came back Kaitlyn soon realised she had left her watch in the forest. So she went out by herself to go and get it  from a distance she saw something glinting in the trees as she obliviously walked closer to it she saw a man standing holding her watch while behind him grew a slow and angry purple sky making him seem super scary. She asked the man “Excuse me is that my watch” He replied in his wretched old voice “This one ohh I think it might be” “Yes that one may I have it back please?” Said Kaitlyn in her tiny petite little voice. The man chucked it near her feet and when she bent down to pick it up he had disappeared.

She thought that he might have been the crazy serial killer but she never had the courage to ask. Now she will never know if that was him or not. Kaitlyn has never told anybody about that time from this day since.
