Don't Kill The Animals

Today In class, we had to make a trap that would capture animals without killing them. This was a tricky task but I found the ultimate answer! This is a fool - proof idea. I thought that if we use a net it will be much easier to catch them because they might hear the gunshots and run away. 

I hope you like it!

Dung Beetles!

In class, Mrs Lee sent us a link to a site about dung beetles. There was information (videos and a passage) and activities. We had to choose 3 activities to do and post them on our blog. We got to choose if we wanted to post all three of them all at once or post them separately and I will be posting them all separately. This is a poster of 'How Dung Beetles Move Their Dung'. I hope you learn something from this.

The Big Jump

In class, we had to rewrite the story in our own words. My group's story was "The Big Jump". I found this kind of hard because I did want to change the story a bit but I couldn't. This story is about a boy named Big Daddy (Funny right?) and he is afraid of the flying fox. 

Have you ever been on a flying fox before? If you have, let me know

The chills that ran down my spine as I attempted to go down the flying fox. I was sick to my stomach. I couldn't DARE go down this flying fox. "I don't have a death wish" I said to myself. But then Tim came up to the platform and tried to talk me into it but I couldn't. What if I fell? What if I get stuck? I didn't l know what to do because I was so scared. But then he told Sandra, the instructor, to do a tandem. He put a harness on and rode down with me. I nearly wet myself because we were going SO FAST. Once we got to the bottom, We hit a few tyres. It really hurt but I think it hurt more for Tim. Tim was barely breathing and crying. "What happened" Everyone was asking. " I had to help Tim, he was to scared, he nearly wet himself. I didn't want to make myself seem less tough. I'm glad Tim helped me from that horrific trip to the ground.


Stay Awesome, Possums!

I Love Me!

This term, we are learning about Taonga. Taonga means treasure or something that is very important to you. This task is all about culture.  I am Cook Island and Tongan. we had to talk about family tradition, traditional food and old stories etc. As I made this presentation, I realised how much my culture means to me and how I love my family. I think I did pretty good.

What I found hard: finding information to add in to it.

What I found easy: using colours that attract the eye

What I could improve on: adding more pictures.

Goodbye!

Seeing in The Cosmos!

In class, we read a book called "See You in the Cosmos". Everyone had a D.L.O about it but i just didn't get to it yet.

11 year old Alex is a boy who loves Astronomy and has so many questions on life like:

"where's Dad?"
"How do i launch my i-pod?"

But most importantly:

"How do I be brave?"

Alex struggles to understand how to do things sometimes. While my teacher read this book to us, I really enjoyed it. The book was very heart-warming and I loved it.

To be honest, the book is way better when my teacher reads it. She just reads it like it is actually happening. Overall, It was a great book to read. Maybe you should read it.

See you in Term 4! (See what I did there. No.)

How do Waterspouts form?

In Room 5, we had to create a Infographic on our reading texts. My group's story was How Waterspouts form. My Infographic will tell you about it.

An infographic is diagrams and pictures, information on the topic and a catchy title!

I think I did pretty well but I think I need to add more information and diagrams. I hope you get something out of this, though.

Enjoy!

The Machine.

In Reading, We had to create a story map about what happened in the story. We read a story called the Machine.  This is my story map.

All About Me 2019

WALT use Google Drawings to create a drawing about me.

We were asked to create a Google Drawing about what we loved. 

Those things were:

• Favorite food
• Favorite animal
• what country would you like to visit

In the top right corner I was trying to create spicy rice cakes (in Korean teokbokki) but it looks like coconut shreds in a eggshell. Maybe I could make the rice cake a different color.
