Kiwi Collage

We have been learning to make a collage on Google Drawing. We had to
use the explore, mask and arrange tools to get our collage to come together.
We had to make a NZ bird and put it into its habitat. It was a lot of fun and I am
really pleased with my bird. Have you ever had a go at this? This kiwi is made
out of 4 difrent colors. I dicided to make it color full because kiwi colors are
boring.

Toki Pounamu Film Festival

 Toki Pounamu film festival

Today the year 5, 6, 7 and 8s from Karoro School went to the Toki Pounamu Film Festival. I am writing about the whole festival.

Paroro School’s film was good and funny. They used a drone that made the quality very good. The funny part was the song because it just was repeated. I think they would have put lots of effort into their film. Next time I think they could add more content into the film rather than showing the same thing over and over again.

There was a large variety of films from a variety of schools, showing a range of different filming techniques. Paroro used a drone for their camera shots. The drone has real good quality that made the video stand out. The other schools that entered used Ipads, cameras and I think they used phones.

For next year’s film festival I think they could let the kids vote which videos go in and try to get some more schools to enter. They could also make it so there are more videos to watch. It would be good if they gave awards out like certificates, trophies and gift vouchers.

WHAT IS A BEEHIVE?

Do you know what a beehive is?  It is a home for bees to live in. It is usually
a dome or box like structure and it is an enclosed area for the bees sometimes
it is a man made structure. Each beehive has a different colony of bees.
Wild bees and honey bees have completely different hives. The wild bee hives
are dome shaped and the honey bee hive is normally rectangular or  box like. 

HOW IS A BEEHIVE HIVE MADE?

Do you know how beehives are made? The bees use some sugar contents
from the honey and turn it into wax. The wax comes out of the bees pores.
Then bees chew the wax until it is soft and they make hexagonal cells called
a honeycomb. There are lots of them in the beehive. The Beehive is
comparable to a bird's nest to protect the bees. The beehive is made mostly
of beeswax to make the hive. 

WHAT IT IS THE BEEHIVE USED
FOR?

Have you ever wondered what beehives are used for? The bee hive is used
for storing food, living in it and making honey. The bees store the food and
honey and pollen in the hexagonal sells. They also use the beehive to rase
eggs larvae and pupae. The bees make honey in the 

hive and to live in it.

lake Daniell

On the 12 of June 2019 Room 1 and 8 did the Lake Daniell day tramp we drove to Springs Junction at 9am in the morning and got there around 11am I travelled with Xavier and his parent my group wanted there until everyone else got there and we did a number off.

We started walking the track after Ms Kemp went over some stuff. When we started walking the track I was getting cold so I put another jersey on. I walked with my sister pretty much the whole way. We had to stop at fifteen minutes so we could get a drink but we also had a bit of a snack. The next stop was at 30 minutes but after about 10 minutes I was feeling sick but I did not tell anyone.

At 30 minutes we had morning tea after morning tea we started walking again and stopped at 40 minutes. The teacher told us we 2km away from the lake which was only about 25 minutes away. When we got to the lake I walked on the jetty and then we had lunch. I had some hot chocolate so I drank all of that and I had some food. When everyone had finished there lunch we set off to get back to the start of the track.

This time we were going to stop at 1 hour after that 1 hour had passed, we stopped and got a drink. We started walking again and we got a little bit passed the halfway mark we stopped and got a drink and ate a bit of food. We carried on and it felt like 10 minutes but it was probably 50 minutes. When we were back at the start of the track we got a photo and then we hopped in the parents cars. We arrived back to school around 6:10.

We were completing the Lake DanielI tramp because we were learning about hypothermia because it was meant to be really cold. I liked this tramp because it was fun and a bit challenging.

Callaghan's ridge walk

On the 11 of april Room 1 and 8 went off to do the Callaghans Ridge day tramp. We got our car group together and headed off. We went through Kumara and through dillmans town. We started the walk and it was raining but it cleared throughout the walk. Every 25 minutes we stopped for a brake. When we stopped everyone put there rain jackets on and had some snacks it was still raining. About 25 minutes after we had stopped the sun just decided it would just become sunny. 2 hours and 30 minutes into the walk we built our shelter to have lunch in after lunch we keeped walking and it wasent long till we got to the end of the track.

 

How Do Bees Pollinate

          How Do Bees Pollinate

Bees are important to the world. The bees pollinate flowers when
the bees get the nectar by digging in the flower. The bees get
nectar from the flower. The pollen is located on the anther on the
flower. The pollen sticks to the bee like Velcro then when the bee
goes to another flower the pollen off the bee transfers to the other
flower and brushes it onto the stigma. Bees are important to us
because they make more seeds for the flowers and they help
make the fruit and vegetables.

Learning Intentions

We are learning to understand the importance of bees in
nature through learning about pollination and interdependence.

We are learning to take key information from an information
report and write it in our own words. 

Writing task: Bee experts

Write a paragraph about how bees pollinate flowers. 

The paragraph should:

• Have a heading.
• Have a minimum of four sentences.
• Explain how bees pollinate flowers.
• Tell us why this is important.
• Be aimed for Miss Ireland’s class so they can understand this.
• Be written in your own words.
• Use your photo of your flower cut in half.
• Use an additional photo or diagram if you wish.

I am happy I did not die.

Mathematical Mum Reflection

           Mathematical Mum Reflection

My group had to read the book mathematical mum. Mathematical mum the main character and she is obsessed with maths. Mathematical mum goes shopping with her children and she uses lots of maths and her children get really annoyed with her math addiction because she is always saying everything all the equations out loud. The kids got so annoyed with her saying all the equations out loud so they all ran outside screaming and stayed in the car.

Our Marae trip Recount

             Marae Recount
This is a recount on what we did at the Arahura Marae I am going to talk about the powhiri process

         Powhiri process

When we had arrived at the marae we all standard out by the gate, we had to sing Honore for them to welcome us onto the Marae when we had finished singing the song Honore they opened the gates and started welcoming us on they were welcoming us on in Maori so I could not understand what they were saying when they had finishing welcoming us on Miss Ireland started saying stuff in Maori so I could not understand what she was saying. When we got in side they said there Mihi and then we had to hongi them I didn't like that process we gave them a gift of a check of money.
So this is one thing what we did at the Marae! personally I did not like it so I would not recommend it for others.

Beach Cookout

April the 3rd on Autumn in the morning Room 1 and 8 with the class teachers and

some parents we went down to the Karoro Beach by the Tasman Sea and next to
Watsons creek we built campfires in groups the people in my group were
Clem, Brighid, Phoebe and Kelly our parent supervisor.

At the beach in our groups we built campfires to cook are lunch we built them

in pyramid shapes with twigs, beach wood and tinder. At the beach my group
cooked sausages with pancakes I brought the bbq sauce, Buttered bread and
paper plates. Just letting you know the sausages and pancakes were very
scrumptious we cooked the sausages on a pan we left them on the pan on
the fire for about 10 minutes we had to keep turning them every twenty seconds.

When the sausages were done we gave one to our parent supervisor and
Ms Kemp after we had finishing eating them. Then we cooked the pancakes
on the pan it was quite difficult to flip them we had mini marshmallows with
them with maple syrup.

We used a pan a spatula and a knife to cook are food. I really enjoyed it
because it was a really good challenge for me to be able to make a fire and
cook are meals on it with just using the materials on the beach apart from
the matches.

A Moment In Time Writing

In Ruma Tahi, we were learning how to put only one thing into our writing and give lots of details. I found this quite hard because I kept wanting to write the whole story.

A Moment In Time

I could hear the plane firing up as we were walking to the plane. I could feel the hot carbon dioxide hitting me as I was stepping in the plane I was having second thoughts about this. I could feel the plane pulling me back on the set as the plane was lifting. Before I knew it we were 13,000 feet in the air I was feeling the tremendous amount of air coming through the door as he opened me and the person strapped to me jumped out first and did a flip. When we were free falling we were travelling 200km an hour you could only hear the gashing air going past your ears. At five thousand ft he pulled the parachute and he tried to show me were Mt Taranaki is and the North Island but it was to cloudy that day to see. When we were gliding down he showed me were the runway was were we took of in the plane we were coming down fast it was amazing to see the places that were there we come down for the landing and it was smooth.

Summer Learning Journey Week Three Day Two Activity 1,2 and 3

Activity 1 Week Three Day Two
Learning Intention: To earn full points for this activity you must type all five sentences and then fill in the blanks for each one. Post the completed sentences on your blog.

Unbee-lievable Facts about Bumblebees

• The word ‘bumblebee’ is a compound word (bumble + bee). The word ‘bumble’ means to drone.
• Bumblebees can fly very quickly. They can reach ground speeds of 54 kilometres per hour (km/h).
• Bumblebees are very strong! They carry up to 90 percent of their body weight in food with them to avoid starvation.
• Bumblebees can do more work and carry more pollen than other bees, including honeybees. In fact, they can do up to  50 times as much work as a normal honeybee.
• The number of bumblebees is declining in New Zealand due to a number of factors, including the  number of bumblebees is declining in New Zealand because of people like us removing wildflowers from their habitat and the use of pesticides in the garden.

Activity 2 Week Three Day Two Learning Intention:On your blog, list all of the foods that you don't like to put in your special draining sink.

Some food that I don't like that I would put into my special draining sink are broccoli, collie, macaroni, eggs, pumpkin, corn and peas.

Activity 3 Week Three Day Two Learning Intention:Let’s imagine that we tested the air in your classroom and found 7 different kinds of mould. Eek! The cleaner says that it takes 5 days for each mould to be eradicated (removed). If the school had to remove each mould one at a time, how long would it take to remove all the mould from the classroom?

On your blog, tell us how you would solve this tricky maths problem. Be sure to also post your final answer in days or weeks.

To figure out this mathematics problem it really isn't that tricky. Since it takes 5 days for 1 mould to get removed you then keep going up in the five times tables like shown below.

Once you come to what the question was how much days or week would it take to remove all seven moulds. You can either do what I had done below or just do 7 moulds times 5 days which equals 35 days or 5 weeks.

5-1

10-2

15-3

20-4

25-5

30-6

35-7 This is the answer it will take 35 days (5 weeks) to remove seven moulds.
