Matariki Celebration Recount


First of all
On Friday we had assembly like  always and at assembly we had Kauri Flats presented us a presentation about what a flounder is and how we use it to keep it safe. The flounder is used for fish but people make sure that they have to put sand at the bottom to keep them alive.
Next
We went in our lines back to class and got our stickers that said our name and what class we were going to. Then we got sent to the classes that we were suppose to go to celebrate Matariki.                                                                                                               
After that
I went to Room 18 which we were doing crafting. The type of craft we did was weaving fish and stars. The juniors went to weave into a paper fish, then the seniors from Year 4 and over are weaving fish. Then after people made weaved fish they made weaved stars that had one strip black and one strip white I didn’t make one because it looked hard but i did end up making my own kind of weaved star.
Later on
When people made everything, juniors and seniors coloured a worksheet that had colouring pages and had word searches and they were all about Matariki.
In the end
We watched three story myths about Matariki and they all were different some were in maori and some were in English. Then we had to go to assembly.

How Does A Bike Work

How does a bike work?

A bike is something that you can ride on to go to places quicker than walking. A bike has two wheels in different places one wheel is in the front and one is in the back. It is safer to wear a helmet on your head, before you start riding. To fit on the helmet on your head it is safer to put the strings as a Y instead of a V because it will be loose which will come off when you ride with it. The bike will go faster if  you have more gears on your bike which will make your bike go faster while climbing hills and going down hills. Bikes have spokes on the inside of the wheel to make the wheel in place to also make it  in a place that can make it move. Bikes have a seat to sit while you ride.When bikes  go up hills that are really high use your paddles as fast as you can to make you go up the hill faster instead of going back down. This is how bikes work.

Helicopters

Making a paper helicopter


A helicopter is something they use to use good emergencies. The first thing we did was to  get prepared of seeing how Mrs Buchanan did it and follow the instructions.  Then we got into pairs of three then got the things we needed. Next we started by using the scissors to cut the straight lines that were highlighted back, but we had to fold the dotted lines which means we can’t cut the dotted lines. Then we folded the bottom and put a paper clip on to hold and put on extra weight to make it go down instead of flying away.  Next we drew our name in a style that made it nice. When we were all finished I went to check if anybody was in the hall so that we could go in it and try out our helicopters. When we put the helicopter in the air it falls and spins around like a helicopter. My helicopter flew high from the stage and span fast as  it went round and round as fast it could.

Statistics

Walt: communicate findings using data displays.
 This week our teacher was sick so we had relevers come to Room 10. It was a little bit different to what we normally do so this week we were learning what statistics mean and what they are. Most of the slides were about graphs that had different types of graphs.
