This Term Te Ngahere and Te Maunga went to Action World. The first thing we did was go on the water slide but I didn’t have my togs so I got to play mini golf with other people. I also got to climb the wobbly ladder it was so fun. Next I did the mini trapeze and I tried to jump over the monster sissy but I didn’t have enough momentum and my legs were too short.

Recycling

In Te Maunga I learnt about recycling. In Recycling I learnt the process of recycling for example a bottle gets thrown into the recycling plant and then it gets made into something useful. Next is Refuse for example a beer bottle it gets thrown into the dump and doesn’t get reused. Next Reuse for example a wine bottle it can be used multiple times for different things. Last is Reduce for example a lot of recycling you cut back a lot of recycling that you have made.

PopCorn

In Te Maunga we made an animation about plants. We made this animation a few months ago and we had separate ones. We had to read four different books about plants. My animation was about popcorn. I have 72 pages and I finished it. I had a cartoon girl saying stuff like she feels like doing gardening today. I learnt that popcorn can grow in interesting ways.

Healthy Snack

Last week Te Maunga learnt what plants need to grow. We had to make a healthy snack like a salad. Some of the class that was on one side had to come over to the other side of the class and see what other people made. My group was Charlize, Ebony, Ashlyn, Poet and I. We made a salad and we used Parsley, Carrot, Silverbeet, Feta cheese, Lettuce, Celery, Avocado Spring onion, Tomato and our dressing was honey mustard. We also learnt how plants grow for T-shaped literacy and we had to read four different stories about how plants grow and we had to write stuff from the stories but in our own words.

Juicies

In Te Maunga we had done this experiment. We had to get into pairs, I was with Zaapharj. We used an ice cream container, salt and some tin foil for the lid to reflect the sun off the box. We poured quite a lot of salt into the box but our juicies melted. The best part of the day was when we got to drink or eat our juices. Our juicies didn’t work because we didn’t have any ice.

CyberSmart & Kawa of Care

This lady named Deborah came into our class and taught us about what safe things we should do with our chromebooks. We had to learn about CyberSmart and kawa of care. We learnt where we should be at the right time in the right place. We made a copy of this slide from the cybersmart page of our Te Maunga site. On the slide we had to take a screenshot of the five things we should be on.

Time

At school we created this google drawing named time. I learnt that there are 17520 hours in 2 years and there are 8,760 in 1 year. I also learnt that there are 24 hours in a day and 48 hours in 2 days. I learnt that there are 60 minutes in an hour and there are 60 seconds in a minute.
