We were learning about using textured images to create a collage picture.
I created a a collage kiwi to show what I have learned.
I found it easy to find the textured colours.
I found it hard to make the the legs and the feet.
I really enjoyed making the shapes.
Next time I need to make another animal.
Planting with my family.
On Saturday my family and I went to Kerikeri.
We went to a place where they sell plants. My nan wanted to go there because she was making a little garden on the deck. The next day we first started planting the plants. We had lavender flowers, and veggies. Next my brother and I wanted to buy some plants for us so we did. We had a passion fruit plant and a strawberry plant. On Monday all of the bugs had nearly eaten my brother's whole entire plant. It was so funny I was laughing hard out but luckily the plant was growing another strawberry. Luckily my plant was still healthy and green. Then we all finished. I was really excited to show my papa the deck. After that when we showed my papa he was amazed. He thought it was beautiful and more cleaner on the deck. Finally I love planting and cleaning on the deck with my family. I was happy. It was fun and I really enjoyed my day.
We were learning about how to plant seeds.
I found it easy to put the plant inside the soil.
I really enjoyed planting with my amazing class.
Next time I need to learn how to put more soil around my plant.
My amazing holidays at Karangahake.
On Friday afternoon my family and I traveled to the mountains in Karangahake. First we went in the car and started driving to the mountains. I was so excited to go.
I was as happy as a clown. Karangahake is a beautiful mountain also called by a Maunga with lots of stairs and very dark tunnels. Next we were finally there. But did you know we were actually in the mountains? It was kind of like a gold mine. We had to cross very wiggly bridges.
I was so scared I was terrified. Then we walked up the stairs and started walking. Those mountains have amazing nature. I couldn’t believe it. It also had gorgeous rivers and it was beautiful. We ended up by a very dark tunnel like I said very dark tunnel in the beginning. Luckily everyone had their phones. Suddenly everyone's phones started to run out of battery. Then we ended up in another dark tunnel. My brother and I went inside of it and waited for everyone to come. When everyone came I gave them a magnificent fright. My sister was so terrified but my brother and I were laughing hard out. After that we walked past a waterfall. Then we noticed that the water was spring water. My Dad went up the waterfall and filled up his bottle with that water. Then my other brother went up. He tasted it and the next minute he said, “That water is very fresh.” Then we all tasted it. We loved it so much, so we ended up bringing some home. I said, “How are we going to bring some home?” My mum said,”By getting the bottles in my bag.” We were nearly finished our walk.Then we started walking a little bit faster and then we were finally nearly at our car. My legs were very tired. We went over the wiggly bridge and went to the car. Finally we drove home. By the time we were home it started to rain. I snuggled up in my blanket and relaxed for a little while. I had the coolest marvelous time with my family.
I thought it was a delightful and magnificent holiday.
We are learning to be SMART if something happens online that we don’t like. I created an infographic to show what we should do. I found it easy to change the colours in my poster.
I found it a little bit hard to find the images.
I really enjoyed making my awesome infographic
Next time I need to work better.
WALT talk about what we are learning about sound.
I wanted to share with my family what I was learning about sound
Dear Nan and Papa,
We have been learning about sound.
In the beginning of our study we did not know very much about sound.
We asked questions like what is sound?How is sound made? How do we hear sound? and what makes sounds louder and quieter? Now we know more about sound. We tried some experiments and watched some videos and learned a lot more than we knew in the beginning of our study. We also know more about how sounds are created when something vibrates. We also learned when a bell is struck, the metal vibrates. Sound always needs to travel through some kind of medium, such as air, water, or metal. In space, where there is no air, sound waves do not have anything to travel through and the bell would not be heard. Sound is a type of energy made by vibrations. When any object vibrates, it causes movement in the air particles. These particles bump into the particles close to them, which makes them vibrate too, causing them to bump into more air particles. This movement, called sound waves, keeps going until they run out of energy. If your ear is close to the vibrations, you hear the sound. When the vibrations are fast, you hear a high note. When the vibrations are slow, it makes a low note. Sound is like light, sound travels through the air in waves. Sound is made by air molecules vibrating. When you clap your hands, the air around your hands shakes. This is the air molecules vibrating. Once in your ear, the vibrations travel into the ear canal until they reach the eardrum. The eardrum passes the vibrations through the middle ear bones (the hammer, the anvil and the stirrup) into the inner ear. The inner ear is shaped like a snail and is called the cochlea. Inside the cochlea, there are thousands of tiny hair cells. They send messages to the brain. The brain tells you that you are hearing a sound and what that sound is. If you put your finger on your voice box you will feel buzzing sounds.
WALT find information from the text to answer questions.
Read the text and find the information to answer these questions.
What is sound?
Sound is energy, sound is power. yes
How is sound made?
Sounds are created when something vibrates. yes
How does sound travel?
When any object vibrates, it causes movement in the air particles. These particles bump into the particles close to them, which makes them vibrate too causing them to bump into more air particles. This makes a sound wave that carries the sound to your ear. yes
How do we hear sounds?
Sound waves enter the outer ear and travel through a narrow passageway called the ear canal, which leads to the eardrum. The eardrum vibrates from the incoming sound waves and sends these vibrations to ear bones in the middle ear then the particles go to the cochlear into your brain and your brain tells you what the sound is. yes
Why can’t sound be heard in space?
We can't hear sound in space because there is no air or water in space but in your space ship you can hear sound. yes
