Evil monsters or saving the Environment?

For witting, we had to make a word art about what we think about wolves, in my opinion, I think that they are AMAZING!. But anyways the french farmers think the opposite because the wolves are killing their sheep so, they are making no profit and no money. And again yellow stone is totally the opposite again because they are CHANGING THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE ECOSYSTEM so... do you think that wolves are evil monsters or are helping the environment and ecosystem?

Bye have a nice day see you tomorrow and stay safe:)       

Fun experiment:)

for reading, we did an experiment about ice and salt, and we had to see if salt would wi,n out of the other powders or substances.  salt won after  1 hour 14 minutes and 36 seconds, jeez that's a long time. 

we had to do a Wondering, Hypothesis, the  Materials we would need, and more.

Question time: do you like experiments, or do you what to be a scientist when you're older?

 Have a nice day and stay safe bye :)

The aspirin test

For literacy, we made a science experiment with aspirin. We made a hypothesis ( what do you think would happen) then we got to do the experiment. We needed the same size cup and crushed up one of the tablets, then we got some cold water and plopped in the crushed one in first and timed it and we did the same to the other one. I was quite disappointed that it did not froth up that much.

Question time: Have you done this experiment before?

Have a nice day see you soon bye:)

Curious reading

Kia ora bloggers,

When reading a book, have you ever been curious about something you were reading, and wanted to find out more to help you understand what you were reading better?  We have been learning about how important this is this week in Literacy.

When we read The Magic School Bus inside the human body’ I formed some advanced questions using ‘how’ and ‘why’.  I made sure they were open-ended questions that would help me understand the book more.  An example of one of my questions was “Why are intestines coiled up?’ and I then researched and found out that an adult's intestine is 7.5m long, so it needs to coil up so that it fits in the body.

Next, we got to chose our own book to read out of our virtual library and we had to form 3 advanced questions about it.  Ours create task this week was to share these in a creative way.  I chose to do it with Google Drawing and it was about a book called ‘endurance.

I really enjoyed this task as it made me realize how important it is to do this when reading to understand the text better.

Question time: Do you ever do further research when you are reading a book to deepen your understanding? 

(PS Could not put the video on for some reason sorry)

The lonely man

Kia ora bloggers, This week for literacy we have been learning about inferencing and show not tell. When we read something, we automatically start making inferences, so it is important when we write that we give clues in our writing that allow people to make inferences. We want to show them - not tell them. For example, Paul was frustrated when he got to the bus stop and realized he had just missed the bus. But instead, I could write “Running as fast as he could, Paul turned the corner only to see the back of the bus as it pulled away. Throwing his bag down on the ground and sighing out loud, Paul realized that he had no choice, but to sit and wait for the next bus to arrive - 20 minutes from now” You can infer from me saying ‘throwing his bag down and sighing out loud’ that he is frustrated. Our task was to create a video that accompanied a piece of writing about an elderly man. We used Adobe Spark to do this. Have a look at my video and see if you can make some inferences about what I have written. Do you think the elderly man is happy?

The very interesting cartoon character

For reading, we read Barking Mad. Our teacher asked us to do a character description of one of the characters. My friend Cameron and I did the tiny policeman. We did the tiny policeman because he was super funny, we hope you like it. If you have read Barking Mad before please tell me which one is your favorite character.     

my poem

A little more kindness can go along way, A little bit of laughter can brighten a day, A little bit of hope can plant a seed, A little bit of love is all that we need.♥

by Nina Heyen
for reading, we had to make a poem about kindness. first, we had to find a poem. I chose Nina Heyen's poem because it was a lot like kindness so I did it. here is her poem hope you like it.
