The native bush

The native bush

The leaves were  landing on the ground in front of me.

The big tree toured above me like giants.

The stones  heart my feet as I step  on them.

The ferns shined in the sun.

The flax shadows looked like snakes.   

Going to the zoo

Going to the zoo

 I walked into the class room at the zoo. Wow a stuffed possum came out of no were. I was a bit navies because I have not been to the Hamilton zoo before.  We got to get a snack. "Whats your favorite animal olly." Next we got to pat a torturer. It was cold and it gave me butterfly's.    

 Next we put our bags in the lockers. After that we got to look at the animals. Georges mum showed room 10 some of the animals and  tort as about the animals. I lorn't a lot . My favorite was the simian because we got to feed it. At first I was nerves. 

 After lunch we played on the play ground. I portended that I was a chimp. Then we got into groups and went to see some more animals. At the tigers one of them got a electric shock. It gave me a fright. In the end we had to go back to school.  

             

Geometry

 Geometry

To day for Maths we made three d shapes. First we copied two three d shapes off the bored the shapes were a bit tricky. Next we made a three bi three shape out of blocks it was hard because at first I did not no what three bi three meant but I got ti in the end. Finally I       drew my shape on to a peas of paper. I enjoyed it because its fun learning new things .

Habitat change

 Do you know that the extinction of animals has increased 100 percent. Guess why? The fumes and gases in the air  affect the animals but not just that. The bags we put in the water the turtles think the bags are jelly fish and the turtles might eat the bag. Something as harmless as a plastic bag can kill a turtle. So what can you do to stop this? You could use paper bags and don't litter.

Tapa Turtles

Tapa Turtles

This term with Mrs White we  have been learning about how to make tapa turtles.I learnt how to rotate and reflect  shapes. We also did maths rotations. We learnt  how to make block prints out of cardboard and I also learnt how to find the lines of symmetry.  I  learnt how to make different shapes out of a circle as well.   

First we needed to research a bit about tapa turtles. Next we had to draw our symbol onto a piece of  paper then we drew it on the wood print. After that we  scrunched up the paper. Then we traced the turtles on the window. Next we draw our designs in pencil on to our turtles. After that we went over the pencil with Indian ink. Then we carved out our wood block prints. Finally we rolled the ink on the block print and stuck it onto bits of paper. To finish off our artwork we stuck the two strips of paper and the turtle on to the wrinkled piece of paper.
