Alarm Call

This week Poni-o-toka we all write about a pitcher that had a goblin and a kitten. In the pitcher it looks like the goblin is going to step on the kitten. But instead of saying that the goblin was going to stand on the kitten we had to have a twist my twist was that the goblin was going to try and eat the kitten but the owner stopped him and scared him away.


AHHHHH There is a huge goblin in my house help me!
“Okay Okay I  must pretend to sleeping, and make it look like I am having a fantastic dream I hope this works ahhh.” When The Kitten saw the goblin she wanted to make a run for it,  but she couldn’t. “Mahahaha the kitten is sleeping now is my chance to stand on the kitten.” The kitten was dreaming about her delicious cat food.

As the goblin went to step on the kitten instead he snached the kitten. Then the kitten woke up and screamed “Put me down you're a creepy Goblin”  The Kitten wanted to properly go to sleep and relax while she is sleeping. “ Mahaha no never I will eat you mahaha” as the goblin said that the kitten was freaking out so then she replied “Well I’m not goblin food so leave me alone and please leave and would you please leave my family alone”. The goblin said  “Whatever you will never get away.” Then owner woke up and said “What are you doing to my cat Mr. Goblin?” The goblin replied “ I'm gonna eat her and you will not have any more cats because i will eat them all.”


The owner the yelled “ NO YOU WON’T YOU NASTY CAT EATING GOBLIN!!”

We have been Traveling for 4 days now and we have gone to a lot of places. Here are all the links I had to use to find out some stuff about where we went. 1. Cook Strait  2. Picton 3. Farewell Spit 4. The Beach that became a whale grave 5. Hector Dolphins.  We went on all the links to lean all about these places.



Activity 1.  Describe about the beach the many whales are dying on. 6 sentence.
First they covered the wails blow hones and had to stay away from the tails. Then They started to tip water on the whales to keep them wet and moist. They were working all night to keep the whales wet and moist for the time no one went to sleep. When you are trying to help the whales you must be careful not to touch the whales tail.  Some people offed there towels to put over the whales blow horns.
Bonus activity. Tell people what you think if you think fishing at Farewell Spit should be band or stopped.
I think fishing if the Farewell Spit should be stopped because the whales could get stuck in the nets that the fishers use to get the fish in and the can;t get out so they could die.

Coconut Raisin Bliss Balls

For the last few week we have been writing about our Coconut Raisin Bliss balls. First we had to wash our hands. Next we had to watch our reading teacher put all the ingredients in the blender, she did that two times. Then we got to get some and we go a chose on what we wanted to put the chooses were coconut or chocolate powder I got both on two different sides. After That  we had to smell it. Then we got to taste it It was very YUMMY for me but for some other kids it was NOT nice they thought it would have chocolate on it and it didn't.   


WALT - to describe using adjectives and similes.


Coconut Raisin Bliss Balls


The bliss balls looked like dirt. They were like rotten walnuts. When they had the coconut on it looked like rocks were on it. It even looked like a mud ball.


They smelt like coffee. They also smelt like chocolate powder. They were very sweet when I smelt them. They were very coco-nutty .

They tasted strong and delicious. Also all chocolate like because mine have chocolate powder on it.

I heard the blender going rough and VERY noisy. It sounded like our caregiver Mr Smith and his lawnmower.

When I got told that we were tasting something I got excited, joyful but also a little worried. When I tasted the Bliss Balls They were Chewy, Soft, Light and very Messy.

                                               I enjoyed it very much

Adding


For the last the few days we have been learning how to add. We had to make a DLO about it. The Question was that I did was 84+98= and it was easy because I used a number line and you know what a number line is because in my last post I told you what a number line is. 





Thursday 3 August 2017

don't Subtract Add

For the past week we have been learning how to add not subtract. The way to do that is were you have a subtracting question and change it to a adding number for example (70-24=) you would change it to (24+___=70) the blank is where you put the number you got. The way I find it out is by using a number line. Number lines are what you use if you don't know what the answer is you use a number line.

My Hoilday Recount
Aggggghhhhh that’s all the people heard from me at Wycolya Park.In the holidays  Me,  Mum, Zane and Rocky and Tyson went to  Wycola Park. We went just to have some fun together.


First of all we went on the slide. We were acting  like the boss of the park. The way we were acting like the boss of the park is  we were  pretending to boss everyone around. Then we went down again and hit our head on the bark. I went head first because my brother pushed me down. We made a humiliation of ourself.
Next we wanted to go on the monkey bars. We swung like a monkey. We sat on them. We looked like a monkey. I could not reach the bars.
Then we went on the swings. Me and Zane jumped off the swing. We both went flying off the swing when we jumped off. I landed on my back with the stitch it was super painful.
After that we went to the flying fox. We  went zooming in the air. We waited for our turn. We had a blast.



It was a fantastic holiday and I would love to go back again.

Severe Weather Description

Brrrrrrrr. I am so cold. Severe weather comes in all shapes and sizes. Snow is very dangerous.

The sound of snow falling doesn't sound like anything. It seems quite creepy.  When I step in the snow i hear the crunch of the snow. I could hear the sound of my luggage going along the snow. I can hear the wind blowing and blowing.

I can see a baby blue sky. Where I am  it looks a lot  like antarctica. I see a lot of snow and ice. I see a long journey above. I see big hill up above. It seems there is a really icey way walk above.

I am so tired. It is so stressful walking all over the place. But I am happy that i am on holiday. It is so hot right now. I need water. Well I can make my very own penguin friends.

When I  saw this pitcher I was about to cry. Because I felt that bad for him.

A Little Bit More A Little Bit Less

In Maths I have been leaning multiplication strategies. I have learnt to solve multiplication problems using my 5 times tables. First I put down the question I was learning to solve. For the DLO I did 8x4= so then i spit the 8 apart into 5x4= 20 I knew that equaled 20 so the I new there was 3 left from the 8 so I went 3x4=12 I knew it equaled 12. So then I went 20+12=42 I knew that  42. Then I  realized it equaled 42 for the 8x4. That's how I worked out my problem.

Antarctica Animal Descipton

For the last few weeks I have been in a reading group that is called animals by animals I mean Antarctica animals and we had to write about them, so first of all I write about Penguin and then Huskies.
Penguin
Penguins are really fluffy and cuddly.
Penguins have two flippers to swim under water. Penguins have a lot of feathers Penguins have 1000 feathers. Under all the tickling  feathers there is  a thick layer of blubber it makes them stay warm during snowstorms. The way baby penguins are born is the mother lays eggs. When the baby hatch the mother feeds the baby out of her mouth it is dusting but nice because the mothers might not get there food for them.

Penguins are so cute and I would love to have a pet penguin.

They are cute.









Huskies
Huskies are living things. They are one of my favorite type of dogs.

Huskies can live in antarctica or in your home. They eat dry or wet dog food. The way they keep warm in the snow is their undercoat. They way Huskies behave in antarctica is by helping people and animals that are being injured.


Huskies can live for 12 to 15 years. Huskies are quite talented they can help people and they can survive in the coldest  place on earth.  Huskies used to live in antarctica now they live in the antarctic, they stayed in antarctica for a little bit.

Antarctica Description

In Literacy I am learning about Antarctica. I went to the Antarctic Centre for a trip. In Literacy I researched all about Antarctica. I wrote a description about Antarctica. I used the correct structure of a description. It has an Introduction, Characteristics and an Evaluation I used a hook. 
Antarctica
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Freezing, shivering . Antarctica is 1 of the 7 continents and Antarctica is classed as a desert because it never rains.


Antarctica is 25% bigger than Europe. In and Antarctica there is a active volcano, the volcano is called Mount Erebus. The pitcher of Antarctica looks like a bit like a lion with a horn. Well known animals live in Antarctica like penguins, seals orcas other wise known as a killer whale and other type of whales. Antarctica has 90% of the Earth's fresh water. Antarctica  has all ice and snow but under all of the ice and snow there is a land. In winter at Antarctica it is 24 hours dark but in summer it is 24 hours light. Antarctica is surrounded by the southern ocean.

I would love to see someone in all those clothes it must be bolling.

Anzac Learning

  • Battlefield File:Royal British Legion's Paper Poppy - white background.jpg ...
  • Heart beat
  • button
  • War
  • Khaki
  • .Anzac





  • One time there was a really important button. It saved a man's life at the war. It was sewn onto a khaki jacket.
  • The way the button saved his life was because a piece of shell hit him but it hit the neck button first.  When he was in the ground with his face down the button felt the heartbeat on the battlefield. Every Anzac day we take some time to respect the men and women that risked there lives to same all of us.







We are learning about Anzac day-Nici

Collaboration

This week at school we have been learning about collaboration.  Collaboration looks like celebrating when you complete a task. Collaboration sounds like eeking/whispering. Collaboration feels like taking turns at writing on the paper.
At school we did this activity where we had to  lift the cup but then the teachers put a tennis ball into the cup. But then they cut the cup to try and made it a bit harder.
But it was still easy as pie the ball did fall of a few time but that did not stop us on getting it to stay .
Then the teachers taped us on the shoulder to to walk to the person opposite side to us.




That is what i did-Nici
