Today for the Summer Learning Journey I did the Octopus Oddities – Kick Start task. First we had to watch some videos and then we could colour in an octopus (either online or on paper). I chose to do it on paper.
Did you know that octopus have three hearts and blue blood?
This is Turbo’s new wheels!
For the summer learning journey today I did the Legs Legs Legs – Step it Up task. First we learnt about Turbo. Turbo is a dog that was born with no front legs! For the create task we had to make wheels for Turbo with an upgrade. My upgrade was the snack dispenser 5000.
Did you know about Turbo’s story?
This is Mosha’s new leg!
Mosha is an elephant that I learnt about in the Summer Learning Journey. Mosha lost her leg to a landmind when she was only seven months old! Some amazing people made a leg for her so she could still walk.
For this create task we had to create our own leg for her. I chose to do strawberries for my pattern because I thought if I placed them right and did the right colours it could look effective.
Today in class we were doing the summer learning journey. We were learning about the New Zealand centipede. For our create task we had to do this math.
Did you know that centipedes have one hundred legs?
Spiders spin their webs from a special thread called silk, which they make inside their bodies. This thread is really thin, it’s thinner than a strand of hair.
The last few weeks we have been reading New Zealand At War. This story is based on World War 1 It tells us all the imported dates from the war. After we read the story we had to fill out these slides. This story is based on World War 1. It tells us all the imported dates from the war. I found this story really interesting.
Have you read about World War 1? Do you know anything about the war?
This term we have been learning about history in New Zealand. Last week we were learning about the discovery of the Moa (aka the largest bird to ever live). Of coarse the Maori already knew about the Moa, but it took the rest of the world years to discover; the Moa was already extinct.
In this recount we had to pretend we were Richard Owens; Richard Owens was the person to discover the Moa.
Have you learnt about the discover of the Moa before? Did you know the Moa was the largest bird to ever exist?
For Ag day we are making over night weetbix for our food item. I did a beach theme for it. It was really fun to make, I would not recommend eating it. Sadly I didn’t come a place, but it’s okay because I got places in other categories. I made my recipe design on Canva.
Does your school do Ag day? Have you tried overnight weetbix before?
Lately we have been learning about history events in New Zealand, this week we have been focusing on the protesting. Yesterday we had to make a billboard to highlight one of New Zealand’s biggest protesting in history. I picked the woman’s suffrage. I also made this on Canva.
Have you heard about the woman’s suffrage? Have you learnt about the protesting or events in NZ’s history?
Last week we were writing a recount about a time in the best trip you have ever been on!! I picked the time I went to Fiji in 2022. I wrote about the time I went to Fiji’s Biggest Water Park.
What was your favourite trip? Have you wrote a recount before?
