Matchstick Maths - Week 3

In Room 12 we have been learning about measuring accurately and Mrs Miller said that we had to make our name out of 50 match sticks and it had to be 20 cm tall or 1 metre long.  Here is my name.

This maths was hard and challenging but really fun. I did the one where you had to make it a metre long.
We had to measure accurately because if our starting point and finishing point were wrong that basically mucks the whole thing, that's why we have to measure accurately.
After we finished our name, Mrs Miller gave us a sheet and we had to work out the value of someones name.

All About Sharks - Week 2

Sharks are fierce sea creatures, in fact it is the king of the sea - here are some photos. 

This is a great white shark, the strongest of all sharks.  In fact, he is the king of the sea.
Sharks are strong enough to take down a blue whale.Sharks always attack whales from below because they know that they will  get wiped by their tail.  Sharks are in fact at the bottom of the food chain. Tiger sharks will eat anything in it's path, even poisonous snakes like this  (Yellow bellied - sea snake)

And that's my report on sharks.

  

Swimming Reflection.

I learned how to…swim with our clothes on  

Something I found challenging was…taking off our clothes while treading water and putting our life jackets on while treading water.

At the end of the year I would like to improve on…our survival back stroke .

Mrs Miller, Mr Kenny or Mrs Lowe could help me by…

demonstrating what we are doing on land before we do it.

The best part about swimming was…having a free swim after we had done our tabloids wheels day.

All about Lions

Lions are fierce big cats, some people refer to them as big furry cuddle machines but they are actually killing machines.  Here are some photos of lions.

      This is the fierce African male lion.  He is the most fierce lion of all.  Not like the female lion, the male lion is always the lazy lion because he leaves all the jobs of hunting and other stuff like that to the female lion.

This is the female African lion, she is not particularly the lazy one like the male lion because she does all the work there is to do.

Moving on to cubs now

 African lion cubs are not like the adult lion killing machines, these are in fact cuddle machines. You can get as close as you want to these little fellas, as long as their mother is not around.   Touch one of her babies when she is around and you'll be eaten for dinner in no time.

Superhero book day

Last Friday it was superhero book day and we all had to dress up as our favorite book character.
Here is is my picture .

At the parade 1 person from each class was selected to be the best dressed person.  Henrietta was selected from our class, she was dressed as soul surfer, she picked her because after the tsunami she encouraged kids to get back in the water.  

My Buddy from Room 6 & 7

Today after morning tea we went to room 6 &7 with Mrs England and Mrs Kelly to meet our new buddy.  My buddy's name is Che he is five years old.

His favorite food is popcorn and his favorite fruit is apples.  His favorite activity is building space-ships out of Lego. The story I read to my buddy is 10 hooting Owls, he thought the story was funny so he chuckled through the whole story.

After we did that, we went over to the pride wall and got a photo in front of it then we went to the playground and went down the slide and then we went over to the monkey bars.  Che was really good on the monkey bars then it was time to go so I said bye and then we went back to room 7 and 6 to get our stuff and then we went back to class for the day.

Here is a photo of the both of us.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

Spyro the Destroyer

My superheroes name is Spyro, he lives at the bottom of an active volcano called Mount Chupacabra.  Nobody will ever get in because it always shoots out magma.  In the bottom of the volcano there is a cave, a dark cave, a dark mossy cave.  The thing is, that once you have gone into the cave you can breathe and only the lava that is in there is in a small lava pool.

He wears a blood-shot red mask with two points on the sides.  His right hand has razor sharp steel claws that can cut through anything including concrete.  His left arm is made of solid steel that can break aluminium.  His feet are pitch black which makes them blend in with the body.  His feet have 3 claws on the front and one on the back.  he has dark black sharp pointy wings on his back.

He likes to swipe the rich people’s money and give it to the poor.  He can be nice and bad at the same time.  He loves to compete against other people in disguise.  He likes to roam around the dark alleyways of New York.

He likes throwing soul sand at people and watching them crumble into dust, he is easily distracted by the swift sound of the flowing night.
