Ext movie SOM and Water cycle

Here is my movie about the states of matter and the water cycle. I did this in extension, I explained the different stages of the water cycle and drew animation to go in it. I also talked about the three states of matter which is Solids, Liquids and Gases.

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.

Ch Ch changes experiment DLO

Here is my animation from this term,Our topic this term is Ch Ch Ch Ch Changes and we our learning about science and experiments. My animation is about the Coke and Mentos experiment that we did. Enjoy.

Wk 6 Thinkboard

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.

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.

Geometry Poster

Here I have created a poster for maths. Our task was to make a poster for a Year 4 reader. We had to teach them a bit about Geometry and what we have learnt.

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.

Thank you Miss Stuhlman

Here is a post for our student teacher Miss Stuhlman she has been with our class for 5 weeks at our school. She has been a great friend to all of us she always made us laugh. She is great at her job she has even help teach some of us Contemporary dance. I hope she succeeds in the rest of her carrier. The Best of luck from Pt England school and Me.

Book Review

Here I have done a book review on a book named The Fantastic Mr fox. I have read through the book and then answered these questions. This presentation will tell you the main characters and their Characteristic,  The setting, The plot, Different ways of solving the problem, How I would rate this book and my connection towards this story. I differently enjoyed this book I think this would would be one of my favourite books because its full of lots of Adventure and Mystery. So if you haven't already I differently suggest that you should read this book :) .

Identity

Today in class we talked about Identity and what it means to know your I identity and what it's like to be unclear of your identity. The words written in black is for the side that we know our Identity. The Right side with the words written in purple is for when you are not sure or unclear of your Identity. Here are some of the words we came up with today in class.

The Friendly Eel

Once upon a time Mary-Ann and her brother Martin went to a little island named Mitiaro for a holiday and while they were over there they made friends with some of the locals. Mary heard that her friends and the rest of the village children were all gonna meet up and hang out at one of the island’s Cave pool’s named Vai Nauri. Mary wanted to go so she told her brother and he thought it sounded cool.So without their parents permission they sneaked off to go swimming with the local children.

This is Vai Nauri

 When they reached Vai Nauri they saw the local children and ran to them. But before anyone went swimming one of the locals said a prayer to bless the water and to make sure that they were all safe and when the last word was said which was “Amen” all the kids jumped into the water and some  even climbed up onto a cliff to jump off. Mary talked and swam with her friends while Martin had bombing competitions and went diving under the water to find rocks.

This is the island Mitiaro

  After awhile a lot of the kids had already gone home. Mary thought that it was time to go home too so she told her little brother Martin that they were going home because she knew that her parents would be worried. So off they went walking home but the thing was that they didn't know where they wore going until they had reached Te Roto Nui (The Big lake), home of the Eel’s.

On the ground near Mary’s foot slithered up a Eel, Mary screamed at the sight of this Eel but then remembered that the Eel’s on this island can talk so she asked the Eel “Hey do you know how we can get home?” The Eel replied “ Of Course just follow me” .  So Mary and her brother went into the water and held onto the Eel’s tail and off they went. The Eel swam them home just in time before their parents come back from feeding the pigs.

Mary and her brother got so worried their hearts were racing when their parents asked them what they had did that day . Mary-Ann said “just playing outside” But Martin and her both knew that was a lie. So the next day they told their parents what they actually did, the parents weren't happy that they lied and didn't ask for permission but they were happy that they were home safe and next time ask their parents first.

Mary-Anne and Martin left Mitiaro and will always remember the fun they had at Vai Nauri and the friendly Eel that helped them home.

Mystic woods

Here is a presentation on a narrative I wrote. The story is on the last few pages hope you enjoy:)

Mesurments WK 6

Here is my maths work from last week I am so happy I have finished it I have learnt so much from doing this take a look to see if you can learn something too :) :) :)

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.
