Birthday!!

On the 21st of August was my birthday it sucked having a party in lock down could not see any of my friends except Charlotte over face time, All tho I had my birthday in lock down  I still got to see my dad. we also built another rope swing on this weird strop that we found hanging in a tree worst experience of my life we went through lots of gorse, blackberry vines and huge prickles. After all of that we went home and planed a secret quiz night in the shed (no it was not cold out there!) Although I had my birthday in lock down it was a pretty damn good B-day

Endangered Animals

 In our literacy group, we have been learning about Endangered Animals in New Zealand.

I chose the Kea and the Antipodes Island Parakeet.

They are endangered because Kea are killing each other because of their lack of personnel space. The parakeet does not know how to stick up for their self they get eaten by other large birds.

An interesting thing that I learned was that Kea are just off the edge to be extinct.

To help endangered animals, I think we could stop wrecking these poor animals habit so they wont get defensive of their personnel space STOP CUTTING DOWN NATIVE TREES.

Athletics Day

Last week we had an Olympic based Athletics day, we had all of the events we usually do and at the end of the day we had a fun after noon. The events were wheel barrow races, gumboot throw, three legged race and more.

I really enjoyed the sack race at the end of the day because there were more than just one person in a sack that was really fun because we fell over more times then anyone else.

Something that was a bit tricky was long jump, it was a bit hard to throw myself forward when all i wanted to do was fall back and I did not even jump that far.

I am really proud of my running because I never come second in anything so I was very surprised with my results.

Definitely convince your teachers to do it. It was the best day at school I have ever had!

Moa

 In our literacy group, we have been learning about Moa.

Moa are giant pre-exotic birds they lived on the east coast of NZ 500 years ago

They became extinct because the Haast Eagle and the other predators

An interesting thing that I learned was that Moa were found on the east coast of NZ and Gisborne is on the East Coast

Maths Challenge Week

This week in Maths, we have been focusing on measurement, mass and capacity (which was baking) as well as reading and writing.

I really enjoyed the baking this week because we got to eat the left over cookie batter  (that was my favourite part),

Something that was a bit tricky was Discus. I didn't like it because the paper plates did not FLY! we need actual frisbees.   

I am really looking forward to more challenges coming up and I can't wait to do hockey measurement challenge.
