Manaakitanga.

Hello readers today i'm going to be making anew blog post about manaakitanga.

Here it is: I was going to school  at 8:30 and then suddenly I saw my teacher heading to school too. I called him and then asked him if I can help him, he said ‘’yes please’’. I helped him bring his things to school. Jake saw me, Jake is one of my best enemy at school. He was looking at me so sharply and I was not scared because I was with my teacher. When we arrived at school my teacher said thank you.Jake looked a little bit jealous and he followed me to the court he punched me on the tummy and then he ran away. 

I went to class for the school time, when I was working, he threw some paper on me I was so angry that time but I relaxed. Morning tea has come I looked every side and on my back he wasn’t following me. I was so glad that he wasn’t following me I ran to the cafe and then bought a pizza he saw me again. When I was going to bite on my pizza he smacked the pizza and it fell on the ground I was so angry and I shouted to loud as I can on his face. The teacher saw me shouted on his face and we got to referral, when we are in referral my teacher called my mom and told her I shouted on my classmates face. when I was going home my mom told me what happened at school.

 I told her the truth, she went to school the other day and talked to my teacher. She asked my teacher about what happened and the teacher didn’t say what I told my mom. She didn’t think I'm telling the truth and she was very angry with me. We went home, she told me if he bully you one more time punch him in the face. I went to school the other day and he was following me again, I went to another place, I think no one can see this place I wrestled him and I kicked his tummy. He cried. 

The other day he said sorry to me and we’ve been friends I also said sorry to him because I punched him. In the other days I tought  him how to play basketball and he got good at it. Now basketball is his favourite sport. We play it all the time we got in the basketball team for free. If it's not for free we must have payed $200. The teacher saw us how good we are that's why he got Jack and  me to the team for free. After all that happened he has been my best friend.

Fantastic mr fox.

Hello readers today I'm going to be showing you about fantastic mr fox.

What are we doing this term for reading? We are doing the fantastic mr fox.

By only looking at the cover, what can we infer or guess about the story. I think mr fox is dancing on the cover and also I can see little fox they might be his children.

After reading the back cover, what do you think this story about? Mr fox robs chickens from bogging and turkey and ducks from bounce and beans.  I think he is stealing this chickens for his family to eat.

Using your prior knowledge, why do you think I have selected this book for us to read? I think this book is fun and interesting that's why I think you chose this book for us to read.

Science.

AIM: TO LOOK AT THE WATER CYCLE AND HOW CLIMATE CHANGE IS AFFECTING IT.

Definition:

Scientific words:

• Evaporation. When water is heated by radiant energy it turns into water vapor.
• Transpiration. Evaporation from plants.
• Condensation. When water vapor cools, molecules join together and form clouds.
• Precipitation. When clouds get heavy the waters falls as rain, sleet, hail, or snow.
• Acidification: the action or process of making or becoming acidic.

We will be conducting an experiment that looks at the different ways that climate change is affecting the water cycle.

THE WATER CYCLE EXPERIMENT

.Bag 1: Normal Water cycle.

Bag 2: Water cycle with CO2 added: like Oceans in climate change.

Bag 3: Water cycle with ice added: like Antarctica in climate change.

Material:

1.  Water.
2.  2 Bag.
3.  Food Colouring.
4.  Soda water.
5. Litmus paper.
6. Vivid.
7. Sand.

Steps:

 

1.   Get vivid and the bag from the teacher.
2.  Draw the water cycle on the bag.
3.  Get 1 cup of water or soda water from the teacher and put it in the bag.
4.  2 drops of food colouring into your bag.
5. Hang the bag onto the window.
6. In bag 2 I add litmus paper

Two Images:

Findings:

	The Water Cycle: Bag 1	CO2 Water Cycle: Bag 2 Acid	Desert Water Cycle Bag 3
Does it cycle?	Yes	Yes	Yes
Amount of Water	2	2	2
Acidity	1	3	1

Key: Water and acidity amount: 1 = none 

2 = small 

3 = large 

Other comments: 

1. Bag 1 cycled water. 

2. Bag 1 had a small amount of water

3. The acidity in bag 1 was low.

4. Bag 2 also cycled water.

5. Bag 2 had a small amount of water.

6. The acidity in bag 2 had a la.rge amount of acidity

..

7. Bag 3 cycled water.

8. Bag 3 had a small amount of water.

9.The acidity in bag 3 was low

Conclusion:

Bag 1 cycled water in a normal way with a small amount of water with no acidity.

Bag 2 also cycled water in a normal way with a little amount of water with a large acidity.

Bag 3 ALSO cycled water in a normal way with a very amount of water with no acidity.

Draw a labelled diagram of the Water Cycle

Water cycle words:

1. Precipitation
2. Hurricanes
3. Acid rain
4. Evaporation
5. Carbon Dioxide
6. Water
7. Defirestation
8. Water vapour
9. Transpiration
10. Flooding

SOLO Hexagons Activity

TODAY YOU WILL BE INVESTIGATING THE EFFECTS THAT CLIMATE CHANGE HAS ON THE WATER CYCLE.

1. Using your SOLO hexagons poster write a paragraph about the different aspects of climate change.
2. Write about the following Climate Change concepts:

You can do these by powerpoint, embedding a movie , on your blog, on a doc or any other form of presentation. It is up to you.

Hurumanu Art

Hello readers, today i'm going to be making a new blog post about Hurumanu art. In Hurumanu we have been learning about making our own characters and make stop motions with them. After making our own clay characters the teacher put us in groups. We liked each others idea's and we put them together and it came out very nice. Our idea is kayaking in the river and a hill with it and also some fish on the water. We haven't dome our stop motion yet but we are going to do it if our group is full and all together. Today i'm only with Shane because my other teammates are absent maybe they are still having fun in the holidays and only me and Shane are  doing all the work here at school.
Here are some photos:

gym sports.

Hello readers today I'm going to be making a new blog post about gym sports. Gym sports is what we do know cip. In gym sports we learn some new sports. I learned playing dodgeball when I played in gym sports. I got faster at running when I was at gym sport and I got stronger when I did gym sports. We always play dodgeball in gym sports, we play boys vs girls boys always win because we Thor the ball fast and strong. I did gym sports because by friends join to it my friends also like gym sports. We always go to gym sports because it's fun. I enjoyed term two more than term one because we have this activities.
