Waiuta SMA

In class we have been working on an SMA about how Dave Ross, Jimmy Marten, Ernest Bannan, Bill Meates found gold. Jake and I  worked together. Here is our SMA😎😎

Pictures of Waiuta

We have recently been on a School camp at Waiuta. We got some pictures of Waiuta and then we made a slide show. Here is Jake's  and my slide show.

Pet Day

In our school it has just recently been Pet Day.  Pet Day is a day when everyone brings their pet to school. They get their poster judged and then they get judged with their pet. For the people that have the best marks they get a prize. After Pet Day room 5 had to make a slide show, and put our writing on with  some photos.

Here is my slide show.

Reading Profile

In class every term we make new reading profiles. We have to include  our favourite book author, last terms reading goal, this terms reading goals, and our favourite book series.
Here is my reading profile.😆😆

Our Hunting Chair

The other day room five and six had a task to decorate some old wooden chairs that have been sitting in the back of the school shed for a while. Jackson and I were in a group and our theme was hunting. First of all we had to clean all the dust of the chairs, then we had to find some pictures of our theme in a magazine and cut them out. After that we had to glue all the pictures on with PVA glue, then we had to seal the chairs with non toxic ModPodge glue. I think the hardest part was finding the pictures because there weren't many hunting pictures in the magazines. I think that Jackson and I worked well because we didn't start up a big argument about where that picture should go, or, "Change that picture, it looks ugly!"
Here is our chair.😄
 

Reading challenge

Hello! Fellow bloggers. In the holidays we had to find a sentence in a book that we read which describes the characters feelings. We also had to make sure we had the author of the book, the title of the book, the page number and a picture that relates to the sentence. Here is mine:)😆

Collage

Collage
In  class during topic we have been working on a collage which was based on plastic. We had to watch a video about plastic and on how bad it is for the  environment. We had to made our collage so it had a lot of impact and caught everyone's eye. We think our group worked well together and we think we did an even amount of work each on our collage . We thought that finding the colours like yellow, blue, grey and pink out of the magazine was the hardest part. We also think that we caught everyone's eyes.

Persuasive letter

 In class during  writing  we have been learning to do  persuasive writing. We had to persuade  our principal to stop using plastic bin liners for the classroom bins. We had to make sure that we had three reasons why we think we don't need plastic bin liners. We also had to make sure that we started  our paragraphs with firstly, secondly and finally. Here is my writing.


10th September 2018


Dear Mrs Wallace

At Awahono School we use a lot of plastic bin liners a year.  I think we should stop using some of the bin liners. Here are three reasons why I think we should stop using bin liners.


Firstly, Awahono School uses more than ten bin liners a day and we don’t even need ten because  all we put in them is dry paper and and plastic. We also spend a lot of money  on plastic bin liners  a year. We use ten plastic bin liners a day, fifty a week, five hundred  a term and two thousand a year!


Secondly, at the end of the day the plastic bags are just tied and put into the big black rubbish bag. I think we should stop using the bin liners 
because  we can just tip the rubbish into the big bag. It is also better for the environment because  there will not as much plastic polluting our land and seas if we stop using some of the bin liners.

Finally, we only need plastic bin liners for the wet rubbish like milk cartons and half empty yogurt containers.   We only need them for the wet rubbish  because  it  will stain the metal bin and the dry rubbish can’t stain the bin because it’s not wet!

In conclusion, I think Awahono School should stop using plastic bin liners for the dry rubbish and help the environment by using less plastic bin liners!


Yours sincerely,
Lachlan

Maths DLO

In class we had been using double number lines. We had to draw one in our maths book and then use it to figure out our fraction questions. We had to make a DLO and use the double number lines to figure out three  questions. I think the double number line helps me a lot with my learning. Here is our DLO!😎😎

El Gregoe 2018

On 4 September 2018 El Gregoe came to our school. El Gregoe is a magician and ventriloquist. He came to teach us what to do if we are getting bullied, he also did some magic tricks and some illusions. He told us the five steps which are Respect, Helpful, Trustworthy, Responsible and Caring. I learned the five steps to stop bullying. Here are some pictures of his visit.

Shapes

In class we have been working on shapes. We had to do a  Screencastify about two dimensional shapes and we had to buddy up and talk about some shapes. Here is mine and Solly's Screencastify.😁 

The Plastic Mountain

In writing we have been working on The Plastic Mountain. We had to make sure that we were writing in present tense, extended our sentences and used senses to describe: sights, sounds, smells, feelings, sensations. Here is my writing.

    The Plastic Mountain 




                                                THE PLASTIC MOUNTAIN!
 Another day at work and I still don’t have enough moola to live a happy life.  “Ow!” Crunch! I just tripped over on a mountain of plastic bottles.  I sit down  on some bottles  and start cutting the labels off the vivid  green plastic bottles with my pocket knife.  As I cut the labels off and put the bottles in a  wooden   basket   all I can hear is the cars and trucks thundering over the bridge and the people on the other side of the bridge staring at us.

I’m so angry because I have been  sorting plastic bottles all my life and  me and my family and i are still under this bridge sorting plastic!   I walk over  and pick up a dirty green bottle and  throw it in a basket  but then I notice that it landed in the wrong basket. I stomp over and all I can hear is   the sound of of people laughing at us, I  pick the bottle back up and squeeze the bottle until the bottle is flat like a pancake. 

I walk over the bottles  and all we can hear is the bottles going “CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH!”I pick up a basket and there a variety of different fizzy drinks  like 7up,  Fanta and some more lying in the basket.  I pull out my knife and just before I cut off a label “AHH!” my mum shouts  as she sees a big brown rat with a long pink tail jump out of a chip packet.  I sit down and sigh and all  I’m thinking about is why do we need all this plastic?

Author Visit

On Tuesday 28 of August Jenny Sommervell  came to visit our school.  She told us about the  writing process and how hard it can be to write a book. She also showed us some of her books and she read two to us. My favorite book was The Day that Dad Blew up the Cowshed.     

            Here are some photos of her visit.

Plastic toy shop writing

In class we have been writing about a picture of a plastic toy shop. We were learning how to describe. We also had  to make sure that we used present tense,
used senses to describe sights, sounds, smells, feelings, sensations, used adjectives to describe the people and things, used interesting, precise nouns and verbs

and extended our sentences by adding detail.

here is my writing.

Here is mine:)😎😎

The Plastic Toy Shop I stroll into the plastic toy shop. The shelves are packed top to bottom with bright neon colours. There are toy cars stacked three high on a shelf that are all different vivid colours. I am so cramped because the store is flooded with plastic toys that soon will end up in the sea or in a landfill. As I browse through the toy guns and try to decide on one to buy there is an irritating sound of keys from the computer keyboard clicking. As I walk up to the counter I am starting to regret buying this plastic toy because it might end up in the sea and kill some animals.☹☹☹☹ my name is Jeff the man boy!!

Symmetry

Today in class we have been working on lines of symmetry. A line of symmetry is a line in the middle of something like a piece of paper that divides it in to two equal parts. We had to get a piece of paper and  fold the paper in half then we had to draw some straight lines and make shapes and glue them onto some black paper. We had to have 4 shapes with three sides, 4 with more than 4 lines, and four with 4 lines. Here is mine:)😈😈😈

Reading Profile

In class we have been working on reading profiles. We had to make sure that we have a book that someone has recommended  to us and  some other things. Here is my reading profile.

Fraction Art

Hi fellow bloggers, today in maths we made fraction art. We used eighths, halves, wholes, quarters and sixteenths to make fish, jelly fish boats, eels and some seaweed. I used three eighths to make my eel and four halves and one quarter to make my fish. Here is my picture:)

Descriptive Setting

Hi fellow bloggers, i'm sure you now it's the school holidays. Well are School has given us some holiday homework and we have to find a sentence in a book that we read that describes the setting of the book. We had to make sure that we had the title of the book the author the page number and we have to get a picture that illustrates the sentence. We also have to make sure that the sentence that describes the setting.

Sid Writting

In class we have been writing about a cat that comes to our school named Sid. Here is my writing. 

Sid Sid is a cat that comes to our school. We call him Sid because there is a book named Six Dinner Sid and Sid is very like the cat in the book because Sid gets feed multiple people. Sid is black and white with a patch of black on her nose that looks like a flag. She also has olive green eyes. Sid is rude in some ways like jumping on tables and some other rude stuff. One day she caught a mouse that was still alive and gave it to me. Sometimes she runs down the fence by the orchard and probably goes to some other people. Sid likes to run through doors when they are open and distracts us when we are doing our school work. Sid hangs around his food bowl by the office in the morning until Mrs Whitmore feeds him cat biscuits. As soon as she gets spotted everyone runs over to Sid and tries to pat her but Sid gets scared and runs away from everyone. I hope that Sid will still visit our school even though Sid is very naughty but I think he can be good sometimes.

Cross Country Writing

Cross Country Running
It’s the day that cross country is on, wait  I better get ready, I’m running soon I thinking to myself.

I’m at the starting line and the lady is saying “On your marks get set go.” I’m now sprinting down the track with my legs pounding the mushy mud on the ground.  As I look up I see people on the pale white fence are cheering me on yelling,  “GO LOCHIE,GO.” I’m now  jogging  in front of everyone. At this point  my legs are straining and my arms are pumping. There is so much pain in my chest from the stitch. I’m falling down a bump so I pound my leg on the ground to stop me from falling.  I am running up the last bump. Now I’m nearly at the home stretch I look behind  and I see my friends and some other people right by me. 
“Ouch!” I hit a peg and three people pass me. They thunder down the track and I sprint off after them. Three people cross the line and I get 4th place.I feel happy even though I didn’t get first place.
