Leaf Gif

 This week, we have been learning about verbs, nouns, and adverbs. So our teacher made us make a leaf and add verbs around it about what it is doing. So after that, we had to add adverbs. After that, we were able to make a gif about a leaf falling from a tree. I made my one a little weird. Here is my work

Ski Trip Photos

 Last week we went on our ski trip. Mrs B got a photo of me skiing. That day we had lessons on skiing so we could ski from the top of Happy Valley. We went skiing on Mt Ruapehu ski field. But first we rented our boots and skis. We stayed at Piper's Lodge. My favorite part about the trip was the lodge. The hardest part of the trip was skiing. Here is a photo of me.

Measuring Heads

 This week we have been learning about measuring. We were put in groups and we measured how big our groups head were. Also after we measured our groups head sizes we made a graph on who has the biggest head in the group. I liked making the graph. I found it hard to measure my groups heads.  The learning behind this task was to help us learn more about measurements. Here is my graph.

  

Plate Tectonics Experiment

Last week we did a experiment about tectonic plates, using homemade tomato and some wafers. We put a hole in one of the wafers and we pushed one of them over each the other. we grinded them side to side, we pushed them together. This caused an eruption from the wafer through the hole. I liked when the eruption happened. I found it hard pushing one wafer over the other. I learn't about how tectonic plates move and influence each other. Here is a photo of my group doing this activity.

Mt Ruaph Alarm Test Knowledge

Kia ora

Today we built Mt Ruapehu in the sandpit. We also made the Whangaehu River valley, the plain below the mountain and the railway bridge at Tangiwai. We wanted to learn how the lahar destroyed the bridge in 1953 causing the Tangiwai Disaster. Kora and Ariana poured lots of water into the crater we had made on top of our mountain. It whoosed down the side of the mountain and into the river valley. The bridge collapsed and bits of our train fell into the river. After that, we watched a short video about what do do if you are on Mt Ruapehu when the lahar siren sounds.  Now I know how to keep safe from a lahar if one happens when I am on a mountain.  Here is my Hazard Notice with the most important information.

Haast's Eagle

Last term we did a slide show about extinct birds. I was put in a group and our was the Haast's Eagle. Our teacher gave us six questions to answer by researching. We had to have separate slides for each person in our group. I found it easy to answering the questions. I found it hard get information for the answers. The learning behind this task was to help us learn about extinct birds in New Zealand. Here is my slide.
