Lino Prints

 In visual arts we made lino print art. We had to carve our design onto a piece of lino and then roll ink onto it and press it on paper. My art is Thor's Mjolnir and storm breaker.

Lake Daniell Recount🚶

 Lake Daniell Recount

On Wednesday the 9th of september Room 8 went on the Lake Daniell tramp for a William Pike Challenge. A few days before the tramp we had to make a dlo explaining what hypothermia is so we knew how not to get it while tramping.

We had to travel in car groups all the way from Karoro school to the start of the Lake Daniell track which is in Lewis Pass. My car group was Tyler, Cooper, Flynn and Flynn’s dad. 

There were 10 parents tramping through the beech forest with us. It took us about 2 hours and 50 minutes to get to the Kohanga Atawhai-Manson Nicholls hut. When we got to the lake we ate our lunch and checked out the new hut. 

After that we got ready for the walk back to our cars.

I really enjoyed the walk back because we “accidently” had a massive moss fight by throwing moss at each other but we forgot about the Leave No Trace rule so there was heaps of moss everywhere but at least it was fun. On the way back there was lots of uphill parts so my legs got very sore and I think my classmates also got really sore legs. I was really surprised when I got so hot I had to take off my jacket and thermals. I was surprised because I didn't expect to get hot since it was only spring and we were tramping in the Southern Alps.

Once we got back to our cars we drove back to school. Overall I really enjoyed the tramp because we didn't have to do any school work and we don't usually go tramping.

Week 2 Silent Reading | Poems

Poetry - read at least ten poems and Write a paragraph about your favourite one.

My favourite poem that I read this week is called Washing Day by Anne English. I liked this poem the most because it had lots of good rhymes and its not too short. Another reason why I liked this one the most is because it actually made sense because a lot of the other poems I read didn't make much sense.

Washing Day

A washing machine

A sploshing machine

splish, splash, splosh

Whenever I use my washing machine

it splishes and splashes

all over the floor,

It splashes and sploshes

As far as the door.

I get into muddles

And step into puddles

I don't think i'll use it anymore

Week One Silent Reading | Picture Book

Picture Books: read at least three picture books from within the classroom. Write a paragraph about  your favourite book. Remember to include the storyline and the illustrations in your response.


One of my favourite books that I read last week was Badjelly The Witch. Which is about two kids that have to go on a journey to find their cow that went missing and on their way they meet enchanted forest creatures. Then they get captured by Badjelly The Witch then they get rescued by an eagle and then God intervenes when they escape and the witch gets destroyed when she attempted to scratch Gods eye out. I enjoyed this book the most because there was multiple sentences on each page instead of one sentence on a page. And there was quite a lot of pages.
Another reason why this book was my favourite one is because there was also lots of pictures which made it not boring.

Matariki Star

Today we made a Matariki star because it is the season of Matariki, The Maori New Year.
We made them from card and string and we hung them in the classroom

Cooking Tech (Again)

Technology: WALT follow a brief by justifying the nature of an intended outcome in relation to the need or opportunity. Use the criteria identified to inform the development of an outcome and its evaluation.

Today for tech we had to make a treat to share with our bubbles buddies. I made them pancakes for breakfast.

Recipe:

 1 cup champion standard grade flour               1 egg

 ⅛ teaspoon salt                                                               about 1 cup of milk

Sift flour and salt into a bowl. Add egg, mixing to combine. Gradually beat in sufficient milk to mix to a smooth batter. Chill for 1 hour. Stir. The batter will thicken on standing. Heat a greased pancake pan or small frying pan. Pour in just enough batter to cover the base of the pan. Cook until golden on the underside. Release with knife around edges. Flip  or turn and cook the other side. Stack pancakes as you cook. Serves 4.

Cooking

Technology: Cooking.  We had to cook at home because we are in social distancing/isolation. Today We made the ULTIMATE SANDWICH. I made a breakfast sandwich and instead of bread I used pancakes with bacon and egg in between.

 WALT follow a brief by justifying the nature of an intended outcome in relation
to the need or opportunity. Use the criteria identified to inform the
development of an outcome and its evaluation.

Markings: 
1. healthiness of the ingredients 7/10 because the pancakes have no sugar and
the eggs are healthy.
2. eye appeal/ presentation 4/10 because it didn't look that good because the
pancakes were uneven and the yolk popped in the eggs.
3. ease of handling 4/10 because some parts fell apart.
4. Taste 10/10 because everything was cooked good and I
like pancakes.

Emoji Art

Today we did  arts interchange at home  because we  are in self isolation. My emoji is called A Boy And His Fish. Here is my work.

Technology: Cooking.  We had to cook at home because we are in social distancing/isolation. I made fancy toast because I couldn't think of what to cook.

By the way the drink is not alcoholic.

Questions Worksheet 

WALT: Under Stand The Earth's Systems.

Fact Card#1: How does water move on the surface of ocean?

Water moves in the form of waves. 

Fact Card#2: How does water move below the surface of
ocean? 

The water moves in currents.

Fact Card #3: What are the two types of ocean currents? 

Surface currents and deep currents.

Fact Card #4: Define ocean currents. 

Ocean currents are moving streams of water.

Fact Card #5: Define the ‘surface current’. 

A surface current is a current that moves on or near the
surface of the ocean.

Fact Card #6: List the factors which control the surface
currents. 

Air currents, earth's rotation and location of continents.

Fact Card#7: Which factors affect the flow of ocean surface
water? 

Global wind belts

Questions Worksheet 

Fact Card#8: How are deep currents generated in ocean? 

Difference in the water density due to the temperature
gradient.

Fact Card#9: Write down the characteristics of cold and
warm water. 

Cold water is more dense and warm water is less dense.

Fact Card #10: Which ocean currents travel faster? 

Surface currents travel much faster Then deep ocean
currents. 

Fact Card #11: Write the factors that cause the deep
currents. 

Deep currents are caused by the temperature, salinity
and the density of the water.

Fact Card #12: How do the Sun and the Moon cause the
ocean currents? 

 From the gravitational pull of the sun and moon Which also
causes currents. 

Fact Card #13: Give the definition of wave. 

A wave is a rhythmic movement that can that carries
energy through the matter or space 

Fact Card#14: What are the causes of waves? 

Waves are caused by wind earthquakes and the gravity
of the moon and sun. buy

Questions Worksheet 

Fact Card#15: List the characteristics of a wave.

height is dependent.
Wind speed distance over which the wind blows the
length of time (fetch) the wind blows. 

 Fact Card #17: What happens during tide? 

Tired as a periodic rise and fall of the sea level under the
gravitational pull of the sun and moon.

Fact Card #18: What do you mean by high tide? 

High tide is where the water is at its highest. 

Fact Card #19: What do you mean by low tide? 

Low tide is when the water is at its lowest.

Fact Card #20: How does the Moon’s gravity pulls ocean
water?
The moon's gravity pulls the water on the earth towards
it and the water moves up into bulge. 

Fact Card#21: What is the cycle duration of high/low tide? 

Generally 1 high tide or low tide cycle happens every 12
hours.

Fact Card#22: Define tidal range. 

The difference in ocean level between high tide and low tide.

are in a line.

in the new moon

Neap tide 

Fact Card #27: Which tides are known as weak tides? Why? 

Neap tides are weak because the moon and the sun pull
The water and make it weaker.

Fact Card#28: Which tides are known as strong tides? Why? 

Spring tides are strong tides because the moon and the
