The lighthouse

We have been doing a lighthouse story for literacy so I was going to post mine on so this is it!

“Woohoo!” the citizens shout “Oh come on… be quite” The owner of a lighthouse grumbled SLAM! The window goes “ahh peace and quiet...for once” whispered the owner of the lighthouse to himself! BANG “what was that” the owner of the lighthouse said nervously all the noise for the local town went silent the one citizen said “the lighthouse light just blew!” they all grumbled “wait a minute we could get our lanterns and go over and help him” one of the citizens said “sound like a plan” they all called!

Meanwhile at the lighthouse the owner of the lighthouse climbed stairs to look at what had happened he couldn't find anything he went to the top floor… no light that's strange luck I have my toolbox to fix it, let me just get the bulb protector out and we will be on our way CLUNK CLUNK “yay it's out now let's go!” Smash “oh no I tripped on my toolbox…” “wait there's light outside its the citizens here to save the day but there's still a while for them to go” -Turns around- “Oh no a boat ” *2 hours later* “hurry citizens the boats like 20 meters away from the rocks all on a sudden the citizens got in and directed the boat to land “How did you guys get in “don't wor…” “the door was open  

Pigeon and the walrus

“OMG!” said the pigeon“I bet you cant guess what I want… a walrus!”

“Just remember don't let the pigeon get a walrus.” said the owner.

“Don't listen to him” the pigeon explained “he doesn't want me to be happy.”

I strongly agree that the pigeon should get a walrus.

He won't be so lonely and he won't annoy the owner so he will be able to do his own thing while the pigeon is having fun with the walrus!

The walrus could take the pigeon and protect him from getting attacked and the walrus would scare a lot of people away!

The final reason is that the pigeon could take the walrus for a flight through the clouds(well maybe not that high but still) so that all the reasons!

What do you think, maybe this will help you agree with me!

WALT: To create a picture(Drawing)

Today we were making design for fun so I decided to make a burger seen as I do like burgers so I got some circles and layered them so it looked like the flavors were inside the buns!

Coding

earlier this term we were doing coding. We had to program 2 sprites(Characters) one had to be a living thing and the other had to be a friend or food for the other one to get to! so I got to work and created a maze and it worked out pretty well! Sorry but I couldn't get it on my blog!

My experience with Uru Manuka

Walt: To say what I liked and what I could do better with our school clusters

When I was approaching the big hall I realized what I had got myself into. 

What went well?  That we showed other students how to code (I was doing coding)

What could have been better?  If the speech wasn't as jumbled

What I could have done better?  I think I could have talked clearer so I could be heared easier

And that's what I could do to top my performance

Thanks to Hornby Primary for hosting us

Sever weather information report!

In writing we have been learning and writing about severe weather.

This is my information report!

Thunderstorms are apart of clouds but they are one of the most deadliest weathers for mankind,they are so dangerous that they kill more people than tornadoes!

Lightning is a bright flash of electricity produced by a thunderstorm. All thunderstorms produce lightning and are very dangerous. If you hear the sound of thunder, then you are in danger from lightning. Lightning kills and injures more people each year than hurricanes or tornadoes; between 75 to 100 people.

A Thunderstorm is a storm with lightning and thunder. It's produced by a cumulonimbus cloud, usually producing gusty winds, heavy rain and sometimes hail. The basic ingredients used to make a thunderstorm are moisture, unstable air and lift. You need moisture to form clouds and rain.

A Thunderstorm is formed when The air cools as it rises. Water vapor condenses and forms cumulus clouds. When condensation occurs, heat (latent heat/energy ) is released and helps the thunderstorm grow. At some point, condensation high in the cloud (now in the form of water droplets and ice) falls to the ground as rain.

There are several types of lightning like these lightning types, Beaded Forked, Bolt from the blue, Ribbon, Zig-zag, Staccato, Forest and several more. There are also types on thunders, but to much to list.

Thunderstorms are dangerous Despite their small size, all thunderstorms are dangerous. Every thunderstorm produces lightning. Strong winds, hail, and tornadoes are also dangers associated with some thunderstorms.

Thunderstorms mostly occur in the spring and summer months and during the afternoon and evening hours, but they can occur year-round and at all hours. Along the Gulf Coast and across the southeastern and western states, most thunderstorms occur during the afternoon.

At very close range, thunder is capable of causing property damage. The shock wave, pressure, and propagation of thunder may cause exterior and interior damage to structures. When heard at 6 mile (1 km) from lightning, thunder will rumble with several loud claps.

The average temperature of lightning is around 20000 °C (36000 °F). Which is hotter than the surface of the sun.The speed of sound is around 767 miles per hour (1,230 kilometres per hour),The speed of light is around 669600000 miles per hour (1080000000 kilometres per hour).

It is estimated that there are around 1,800 thunderstorms that occur across our planet every day. They are mostly in florida and in the year the average amount of days on thunderstorms are 130.

Thunderstorms occur in association with a type of cloud known as a cumulonimbus. They are usually accompanied by strong winds, heavy rain, and sometimes snow, sleet, hail, or, in contrast, no precipitation at all. Thunderstorms may line up in a series or become a rainband, known as a squall line.

In the average on the thunderstorms there are a lot on thunderstorms every day but only 10% of the time they kill people but that doesn't mean they're not dangerous.

severe weather

We have been learning about severe weather. 

In art we made a lightning painting. 

First we made the background with dark colored dye. Then we made our silhouette with black paper and white crayon. With the white crayon I drew a city but we had to wait to put it on. Then we had to the cloud and lightning with white and black paint. Then we were done!

This is mine!

Tessellation

In geometry we have been learning about Tessellation. So first we got a shape I picked hexagon then we had to make some major adjustment to it.

Groth mindset VS Fixed mindset

In Power Time we have been doing something about fixed mindsets. We watched a video about the fact that if you believe you can do anything then you can. It was Star Wars themed. Luke Sky Walker was trying to lift a crashed ship and he said I can't do it and it's impossible and he gave up. So I made a poster to show what you can say to yourself when you feel you can't do something. A growth mindset is where you say you can do it and a fixed mindset is were you say I can't do this. 

This is what I made!

This is what I wrote

                

I can't do this                                                                                                                             This is easy

This is too hard                                                                                                                         I can do this

It's impossible                                                                                                                       I'm going to try

Penguin Art

WALT:we have been learning to create effects that look like feather to make our art better.#

For art we have been making penguins so first we sketched the penguin then we painted it black. Then we waited a day then painted it orange and black then we done the eye.

This is mine!

rainy day art

WALT:We dyed the art and used crayons to make a really cool affect for clouds and rain

We have been working on our art we have been making something called rainy day art it is fun. First we got a white pastel and we drew the rain and puddles. Then we dyed it 3 different colors to make the clouds 

This is mine!

Reflective symmetry

We have been learning about reflective symmetry in maths!

This is my understanding of symmetry!

Weather and Climate/Information Report

Weather and Climate/Information Report

Antarctica is the windiest,driest and coldest continent in the world. As it’s on the bottom of the world it has extremely cold weather.

When the world tilts and the south pole goes towards the sun and when it turn to the north pole it goes away from the sun so Antarctica is only seen on one side. The hottest temperature in Antarctica ever recorded is 18.5 °C and the coldest temperature ever recorded was−89.2 °C. Storms can go on for days or even weeks when a storm is really bad all the penguins huddle and warm each other up. To be an iceberg it must be 5 meters across if it's any smaller it's known as a growler.

I would love to go to Antarctica the only problem would be how cold it is so I think I could not stand being in Antarctica.

Antarctica description

For the last few weeks, we have be writing an description about Antarctica so I thought to share it on my blog!



Antarctica is a really cold place in fact it's the coldest place on earth. Antarctica is measured for the coldest place ever found in the world.

Antarctica has thousand of mounds full of snow and ice. In Antarctica in my mind it would look really white and bland and have a lot of mountains full on ice and snow. In my mind the sound in Antarctica would be the wind whistling and roaring and howling on there times it got really cold(even though it's cold there at the hottest)also in Antarctica I think that it would feel like it would be so cold and freezing but at the same time it would feel so awesome to reach Antarctica and you would so much to tell when you got back home. 

Antarctica is endangered because global warming it could melt the ice which means the animals have nowhere to live in Antarctica.

Insects

In inquiry we have been learning about insects and types of insects. This is a slideshow I done associated to insects

The Jewel Beetle

We have been studying insects and we got to make an  information report about an insect. I picked the jewel beetle

Our Audience 2

We are learning to create a positive digital footprint.

We often share personal information when we are online. The people we share with could be our friends and family or people we don't know. We need to make smart decisions about what personal information we share online.

Save the bees

In literacy we have been learning about how important bees are so I made a poster to keep them safe.

symmetry

in maths we have been learning about symmetry. We drew butterfly's on drawings to see what symmetry is. symmetry is the same on both sides so if you looked in a mirror it would be the same.

this is my drawing.

Hope you like it.

Password Safety

We have been learning about password safety in our syndicate. It is important to make sure your password is safe and secure. Maybe to make it really safe you could add symbols,lowercase letters,uppercase letters and numbers. So we done some work making a drawing of what we need to do this is mine.  😼

Autumn Poem

We have been making a autumn poem this is my poem

Looking Forward To Autumn

I can’t wait to smell the steam from the hot chocolate floating in the air.

I can’t wait to taste heated pumpkin soup warming my mouth up.

I can’t wait to see the colorful leaves flying in the breeze.

Here comes Autumn

I can’t wait to feel the cold air running over my face

I can’t wait to hear people standing all over the crunchy leaves.  (CRUNCH)

Here comes Autumn.

prefixes

Last week in phonics we have been learning about Prefixes. Prefix is were you put letters in front of a word and it changes the word and the meaning. We made a word tree so it can show what prefixes we thought of. the word we put in front was re. Re means do it again. this is my work. 

Litracy Time

For litracy we had to make up a story about a picture the one i done was real. Take a look

On one mysterious day a fire broke down on the port hills. Every second it got bigger and bigger and bigger the fire engine was there wee ohh wee ohh, the police zoomed round every corner on the street wee ohh wee ohh. It was going on for days and days and days there were helicopters flying over the fire dropping water to make it better and i would go out but the more flaming hot fire would overwrite were it was put out. The fire would take houses down one by one. Then they found out it was two fires that combined into one so they figured that's how it spread so far within the time it was there. Nearly everyone on the port hills was evacuated leaving a couple people safe in there house. I knew 4 people that lives on the port hills but they were safe and weren't evacuated. Sadly a man by the name David Askin died. He crashed in a helicopter when the smoke covered the window so he couldn't see and he crashed and he was from overseas :(
