Last week in Te Ngahere we went on a walk in the bush. We went on this walk to find things we were researching about. It was interesting because we found lots of weird and cool things like fungus, vines, tiny leaves, red ferns, tadpoles, a decomposing tree and fungus growing trees. The walk was fun and I got to climb up a little bank and look at the trees up there. There was a giant tree stump and a tree that was broken with plants growing out of it. Have you ever been on a bush walk before?
For a couple weeks in Te Ngahere we have doing taskmaster. In taskmaster we are learning to collaborate and communicate with our learning groups. The challenge was that there were two runners and one drawer the runners could not touch the paper they could only tell the drawer where to put the drawing, the drawer wasn't aloud to go outside and look at the drawing. All of the drawing were a different color. We done 2 attempts the first attempt was with Tyler, Marley and me. I was the drawer marley and tyler were the runners the runners could not touch the paper we had to use different colors.
It was hard being the drawer because the runners were yelling at me and they were saying two things at once. The second time we were in different groups so it was kind of easy because Dez, Marley and me were in a group, Dez was doing good at listening. Dez was the drawer and me and Marley were the runners. It weird being the runner because I hadn't been a runner before ( The picture was very different)
The teachers was not that different to our second but it was very different to our first drawing. If you ever done this would you think it would be easy or hard???
Last week in Te Ngahere we started making food webs/ food chains. The whole class now has to compare there drawing to the teachers. If you don't know what a food web is a food web is a way of showing what different things animals and people eat this is called energy transfer. One difference that there is one color of arrows for each transfer of energy. For example whatever the stoat eats the arrow color is red.Another difference is that my teachers has a lot of arrows going from one animal to another. My food web has a bit less arrows then my teachers because I didn't add in the rest of arrows because we had to blog about this ASAP Each arrow has to point to the thing that an animal eats in the native bush for example a stoat eats a kiwi egg the arrow would point from the kiwi egg too the stoat because the stoat gets its energy from the kiwi. I was struggling at the beginning but I eventually got it done. After I finished and I was proud of myself. Have you ever learnt about food webs and what is in the native bush?
Last week in in the Bay Of Islands we had a tsunami (it didn't happen). We done our class role and evacuated the town. We didn't get to grab our bag or shoes. We went to Totara heights but soon after my uncle came and picked up Tiana, my sister, Tiana’s little sister ,their cousin and me.
My uncle took us home and we packed all our belongings in our bags then we went to the Golf Course. I was glad to see my friends there too. Me and my friends were happy to see each other. So me my sister and friends got out our bags and had coloring competitions, drawing competitions. We done our nails and just for fun we done some make up. I wasn't that scared at first but my sister was. After that I felt ok but then we started to get hungry… but just then there was food!!!!! My nana had chips, drinks, fruit and lollies for me and my sister, there was a sausage sizzle at the top of the golf course and water. We got some water and vortexed the bottle of water.
Have you ever experienced a tsunami before?
Last week in Te Ngahere we were learning about an ecosystem. We had to write on a google doc what we know, what we learnt and what we understand. I learnt that an ecosystem has a producer, consumer and a decomposer.
It was hard at first but I started to get the hang of it. It took me a couple days to finish but it is done. When we finished our doc about the ecosystem we had to create a DLO/ Digital Learning Object.
Have you ever learnt about an ecosystem before?
