Seeds Of The Word

In class we have done a drawing to explain the meaning of the term Seeds of the word. Something I did well was explaining what seeds of the word means something I need to work on is to add more pictures to make it more exciting.

Fungus

We have been learning about Fungus and this is my DLO about Fungus. Something I did good was finding out the cycle of fungus. Something I need to work on is to but more information and put more pictures in this slide to make it more exciting.

Mould

We have been learning about mould, and have done an explanation about mould. I enjoyed doing this because I got to learn more about mould. Something I did well was planning and something I need to work on is my vocabulary.

Planning

How does mould grow?

Have you seen mould and have wondered how it grows? In this explanation you will Find out how it grows.

Mold, it starts off with spores, spores are cells that can make new individuals. Mold can almost grow anywhere e.g. wall, food and plants. Spores can live for a very long time and are airborne. Spores feed on dead plants and animal material, spores also love the wet, warm areas and where there is moisture. The spores then send out a hair-like tube called Hyphae/Hypha.

Hyphae/Hypha is a branching fiber that is found in plant structures that make up mycelium. The Hypha produces enzymes to speed up the chemical reaction.

Without mould we us humans couldn't survive. When you take a tablet some tablets are made up of moulds e.g. penicillin.

We can sometimes eat mould there are lots of foods that are made using moulds besides mushrooms, when someone is making bread they use yeast and yeast is a type of mould, bleu cheese is another one. A way mould play a part in our ecosystem is in trees, when a tree dies the mould turns the tree into soil.

In conclusion I think mould is good and plays a lot of parts in our life, from poisonous moulds to moulds you eat and use everyday.

Koalas

This week in class in reading we were learning about endangered animals and we had to do a DLO about an endangered animal and I chose a Koala. Something I enjoyed was putting the pictures in, something I did well was explaining what endangered means and putting the information into my own words, something I could do better is to add a video into my slide to make it more exciting.

The Holy Spirit

W.A.L.T.. Recognise the ways Te Wairua Tapu  the Holy Spirit prepares people to carry on the mission of the church. Something I did well is making it tidy and putting it in order. Something I need to work on is to put more pictures in and be more creative.

Suzanne Aubert

In class at reading time we had to do a DLO about Suzanne Aubert, if you don't know Suzanne Aubert I hope this slide show gives you a bit more understanding. I liked doing this because I didn't really know who Suzanne Aubert is but after doing this I have a better understanding. Something I did good was adding lots of information into this and putting it into my own words.

Under The Rug

In class we had a book with a sentence starter in it and we had to carry on the story by using out imagination. Something I did good was my punctuation and something I could do better next time is to work on my imagination.

Under The Rug

Two weeks passed and it happened again.

“I have been dreaming about mice since I got back from my holiday 2 weeks ago in Asia, I have been traveling the world well all my life and now it has come to a stop”

“Oh sorry my name is James, James Taylor, I am currently 48 years old, and have never got scared of anything before and LOVE to travel the world with my family and friends, This was my first time traveling to a place that has got mice.

Every time I go to bed and try to go to sleep I can’t it's like I'm having a trauma about mice, it's so hard to cope with, and this time it was the worst it's ever been. One night when I was walking to bed and I heard this noise so I check the door to see if anyone is there and check all around the house and nothing's there, but I might have an idea where to check next under the rug. So all of a sudden I get this idea that it's mice under the rug all I can think about is mice. I try to get it out of my head but I cant its just impossible, so I just right down my feelings and try to work out how I can catch those little creatures.

I feel so scared, worried and threatened right now. I could make a trap to see if the noise is coming from mice and where they come from. I don't know if it will work but i'll give it a try.

So I make up a trap and put it by the rug and see if anything comes out of the rug and it does I was right there is mice coming out of the rug and they are coming at me and biting me help me please help me.

At the moment yes I am writing down my feelings. I feel hurt, like i'm going to cry and thickly at the same time because when the mice were climbing up my legs and arms they are tickling me.

 

After all that happened my friend came over and said to me there is nothing to be scared of and he held on they never bit him he said they only bite when you are scared of them

I'm so happy i'm not scared of mice anymore hooray hooray. From that day on wards I was never scared of mice again.

Plants and animals

W.A.L.T: Differentiate between plant-like and animal-like characteristics of mould.
Today we did topic and we learnt about the  characteristics of  plant-like and animal-like. Something I did well is I know most of them. Something I need to work on is making them more tidy.

The Holiday Netball Program

In class we wrote a recount from the holidays and we were learning about the proper structure of a recount. Something I could do better next time is to use more punctuation.

The Holiday Netball Program

On the 27th of April in the school holidays there was a Rugby and Netball program ran by Margaret Foster and I was lucky enough to go. This program was for three days and this was this third day.

I arrived at the program at 8:45 am all pumped and ready to go. So we started the day off with this guy called Ged Robinson, coming in and talking to all of us about how we should all have a positive mind set,  and not a fixed mind set. ( A positive mind set is when you have goals and are determined to reach them, and a fixed mind set is when you have goals and you think they are too hard so you just give up. )

After we had learnt something new from Ged Robinson, just us Netball girls had this lady called Angela Stone come in. She talked to us about how she became famous in the fashion world. When Angela Stone had finished talking to us she even showed us how to walk confidently and that was amazing!

Meanwhile us girls were having a fantastic time and learning new things the boys were playing Rugby and learning new rugby skills, So when the boys came in, we all got into our own groups of seven because we were having a mini Netball tournament. I was incredibly shocked when I heard how the boys were going to join in and have their own team for the tournament. After we got into our tournament teams we got to make up our team name. First we came up with Tactics but there is a team already called that, so we just switched it around so now it's Tictacs. “ So let the games begin” said Marg smiling. There were only to courts to play on and there were six teams, The Tictacs (us) were one of the first team's on court so we didn't have time to warm up. The whistle blew and suddenly both games started. Our team was doing really well and sticking to our partners like glue but the other team managed to win. The score was 4-0. The whole tournament finished and the scores were recorded and it said the Tictacs lost every game and drew one.

After all that hard work we decided to have lunch yum yum, Lunch is usually half and hour to refill and get energy so we can have even more fun. So after when we had lunch, the rugby boys went back to rugby and the Netball girls did some defending skills, with Shelly and this other professional defender. By the time we had done that it was time to go home.

Overall I felt I really want to to this program all over again because I got to meet and work with new people and I gained new skills.  

Tongan Language

In term 1 we have been learning about Tongan language. I enjoyed learning about a different language. Something I could do better next time is to be more confident and explain more in the slides.

Order Of Our Everyday Life

W.A.L.T: Recognise that the order of operations matters in practical real life situations.

I enjoyed thinking about what goes where and something I could do better next time would be to space them out a bit more.
