In our reading group, our learning has focussed on New Zealand innovators and inventors.
I chose to learn about the jetpack because I think that they are really cool because of how the jet engines on them work and how you can go up and down on them.
I found out that the man that created the jetpack was called Glenn Martin.
In our literacy group, our learning has focussed on the sea.
An interesting thing about dolphins is that male dolphins are called bulls, female dolphins are called cows and baby dolphins are called calves.
Marine Biologists do research on the sea.
Shellfish are important to the sea because they are food for us.
Seaweed is amazing because you can use it like a fertilizer.

An interesting thing about Great White Sharks is that they have up to 300 teeth.
There is a lot of different type of Penguins in the world.
Marine Reserves are important because they keep sea creatures safe.
I think the Lost City of Atlantis
I really enjoyed doing the high jump because I found out that I can jump 90cm and I came third.
Something that was a bit tricky was the throw because I can't throw far and I had a sore hand .
I was really proud of myself in the running because I came second place in the 200m sprints.
I really liked the fun events in the afternoon because we did three-legged races, sack races, gumboot throwing and tennis ball on a spoon race.
For Maths at the moment, we are focussing on measurement, mass and capacity.
Last week I made chocolate chip biscuits for our mass and capacity workshop.
I have written the recipe for you down below so then you can make these biscuits. They are very easy to make because it is just a little bit of batter and if you want a bigger batch of batter, then you can double the amount.
Ingredients:
3 Tablespoons of flour
3 teaspoons of sugar
45 millilitres of egg & butter mix
3 teaspoons of chocolate chips
(We used 3 tablespoons of buttery egg mix)
Method:
Add all ingredients in a bowl and mix until well combined.
Roll into balls and flatten with a fork.
Bake the biscuits at 180 degrees for 10 minutes.
Note: Whisk two eggs with 200g of melted butter for the butter and egg mixture.
They were delicious!
On the first day of my holiday, we were doing a big tidy up in our house because our cousins and Nana and Poppa were coming up to stay with us for the week.
Finally the day came! We went to the airport to pick up Nana and Poppa and our cousins. We arrived at the airport just in time to see the aeroplane land on the runway. When it stopped moving, people started streaming out of the aeroplane like water flowing down a waterfall. At first we couldn't see our Nana and Poppa because they were the last people to come out of the aeroplane as usual! We all ran up to the window to wave at them, our cousin Ryker didn't even notice us and walked right past looking at himself in the reflection of the big, shiny windows.
When we got home we unpacked the cars and put the suitcases and bags in my sister's bedroom. Our Nana and Poppa fell asleep on my sister's bed and slept for 10 minutes and then woke up.
The next day we woke up and me, Kohe and Indie went to Anna & Co to get a haircut. When we got back from the haircut we hopped in the car and went to Galaxy World to play video games. When all of our credits on our cards had run out, we raced to the counter and got our prizes with the tickets that we won. I chose a unicorn glider, some clay and some lollies. I enjoyed going to Galaxy World!
To make my tiki I use polyline curve to go over the picture that was behind it. After I got rid of the picture it turned out like the picture down below.
I like to using polyline and curve to make my tiki.
I did not like it when my mouse kept on clicking on the line and making it get deleted.
Next time I would change the colour of the tiki.
Ormond TV group is up to taking videos of our school . In the last two weeks we have accomplished tacking photos .
Today I was making a play with my group and we are doing it about Maui and his four brothers when they went and fished up the North Island.
I enjoyed saying my parts in the play.
I found it hard to find the parts for our play.
Here is my awesome finger knitted snake. I found it hard to make the snake thicker. I found it easy to knit the snake once I got the hang of finger knitting and I can teach someone else how to. Next time I would like to change the colour of the snake to maybe a green colour.
Today I was learning how to record an interview with my buddy using Screencastify.
I found Screencastify easy to use because it is easy to use than a video
I enjoyed I interviewing Tom because I got to ask a lot of questions
I found it tricky to I found it tricky to keep eye contact with Tom because I had to read the questions
at the same time.
Today I was making a picture of myself with the polyline and curve drawing tools on Google Slides. I found it hard to do the nose because I found it hard to get the exact shape that I wanted. I found it easy to do my hair because I only had to do a couple of lines to make the hair shape. Next time I would change the colour of my t-shirt so that it doesn't look the same as the one that I have now.
