full house

Today in class we had to make a DLO of something of our choice. I was going to go for a serial killer but it was too dark and I wasn't that into it. So I decided to do a full house cause it is my favourite tv show. So in the DLO, we had to do facts about the full house the limit was 5 then we had to decorate it to make it more pretty. So here is my DLO of the full house.

Climate change - Water cycle

Today in science we have been learning about the water cycle and how they all connect with climate change. We got given a yellow paper that had hexagons on them, they also had labels. What we had to do was look at the words and try to connect it with the other ones, then we had to explain to the teacher how they connect with each other and why we thought of that.

Scientific words:

Evaporation- is when the water turns into a gas and floats up into the air.

Transpiration- is the same thing as evaporation but from plants.

Precipitation- is when water comes down from the sky (rain, hail, snow)

Acid rain- is when chemicals Evaporate, condensate and precipitate

Carbon dioxide -is what brings life into trees which brings oxygen into the air

Water cycle- is when water/plants evaporate, condensate and precipitate (with water)

Water vapour- when a liquid turns into a gas that helps evaporate through the air

Condensation- when water comes together building pressure and turns into clouds

Hurricanes- is a storm with a violent rain

Climate change- when the weather changes from its normal passions 

Funny

This slide is explaining things that make me laugh.

Drama games

This hurumanu we are in drama. The first day that we did drama we had played games, my favourite game was statues. In the game statues, we had 2 people chosen to be the spectators and they had to walk around the classroom and see who moved, then if they caught you you had to sit down. Now you can move but move when they are not looking. 

The point of this game is to be the focus and still and not fidgeting and also to win. This game is fun to play with your class, family and friends.

Key points

Hey, guys welcome back to my blog. This week for reading we are learning about key points, key points are when you write down the most important part of the story/text.  I'm going to show you what I had written for the key points.

Key points: 

• The story is about Bulmer Cavern is like and how they discovered the mystery stream the flows through the mountain
• It is non-fiction
• They were in Bulmer cavern (the belly of mount cavern)
• You can only take photos while you're in the cave
•  Bulmer Cavern was discovered in 1984
• They were in the cave for 5 days
• The water travels from Bulmer cavern to Blue creek
• They talked about moon milk which is a type of substances that form in limestone caves.
• They were doing an experiment of the streams in the cave
• There was a theory that water flows through the Blue creek
• It also tells us what cavers do if bad weather hits
• They are from Nelson
• Their names are Marcus and Neil
• The part of the story the text was telling us about what Bulmer Cavern was like
• 10 days later from Bulmer cavern to Blue creek the food dye showed but it was a bit faint
• It tells us about what happens after the cavers come out

Well, that's all that I have for you and as I had said before this was very interesting so you should read it and if you ever think of doing caving read this story cause this will help you.

Sport reflection

This week in our P.E Hurumanu we did cross-court games. The 3 games we played was floor hockey,
bench ball and cross-court football. We played these in the new gym, the focus was to work with others
that we mostly wouldn't play with. We also focused on how we acted during those 3 games and learn how
to solve our own problems instead of the teachers. 

Our activity was floor hockey.  For this activity, I rated my self as a level 3 because I was using positive
words when the other team was cheating. Even though it was frustrating I still kept calm and kept playing
and having fun. To achieve level 4 we have to show that we can consistently be more active in the game
even if we are winning. If the other team loses then we still have to be positive to the other team. 

During the game of floor hockey, I showed that I am working at level 3 by being positive to my team and
the other team and cheer my team and the other team. These examples show that I have met the
standard for level 3. While playing the Cross-court games, something that I found challenging was trying
to communicate with the team. The reason I found this challenging was because my team was being loud
and they were still focused on getting the ball back. However, I managed to overcome this challenge by
yelling and waiting for them to stop. Next week I am aiming to work at level 4. To make sure that I am
working that level I am going to work on

being a leader and being positive to the other team.

Sport reflection

This week in our P.E Hurumanu we have been playing floor hockey and 6 corners soccer. We played them in the old gym, the reason why was because we had to work on our teamwork and how we play.

Our first activity was floor hockey. For this activity, I rated my self as a 3 because I was always getting involved in the game when I was with the people I didn't want to be with. I used positive and helpful comments when I was on the bench when we didn't win the round I would still be positive and keep trying.

To achieve level 4 we have to show that we can consistently be more like a leader and help the team

when we were struggling with the other team. We also need to not worry about who we are versing cause

if we do we would worry and lose. During the first game of floor hockey, I showed that I am working at the

level 3 by being positive and participate. These examples show that I have met the standard for level 3. 

Our second activity was 6 corner soccer. For this activity, I rated my self as a 3 because I was

supportive of my team and was being involved in the game. I was also cheering my team on when we

did or did not get the goal. To achieve level 4 we have to show that we can consistently be a leader and always working with each other as a team and not a single person. We should always use positive words to each other another team. During the first game of 6 corners soccer, I showed that I am working at level 3 by always having a

positive perspective and being committed. These examples show that I have the standard for level 3 by

always being positive and committed to the team. Also being supportive to the team as well. Next week I

am aiming to work at level 4. To make sure that I am working that level I am going to work on being a

leader in a positive way and constantly being positive to the team.
