The minds afire

This week we have been reading a book called the mines afire because next Monday we are going to the mine for a day. The book has been set out as someone who was there on the days diary. Here are some facts about the mine explosion.

The Brunner mine exploded at 9:30 on Tuesday the 26th of march 1896.

It killed 65 miners down below. 

It was the worst mining disaster in New Zealand history.

whats been happening this week

This week we had to work in pairs and chose something that has happen in the world, I chose to work with Caysey and we don't it on the measles outbreak. Lastly we had to add it to a slide and quiz the rest of our class. I liked this activity

visual mihi

last week we had to learn our Mihi and then make a google slide about it. I found this activity hard because I didn't know what some of the words meant but when I found out it was fun!

Humpback whale found in amazon

A humpback whale was found in the amazon about 15 meters from the ocean wildlife experts are looking for clues on how this animal may have got there! They believe it is a 12 month old calf. It was found undergrowth on the Brazilian island of Marajo. It was 8 meters long. They found it on the 25th of December. My opinion is that I have no idea how the mamal could have got there but I assume that it got washed in from sea in a storm. 

survivor reflection T1W5

This week in class we have teamed up 
with Mamaku 3 to do some survivor based tasks.  The task I did was we had to bake Damper and then cook it on a fire with a stick. Then if we completed that task we got to marshmallows to roast. I liked this activity because we got to roast marshmallows.

Refection T3W5

This week for numeracy we have been working on fractions, I learnt how to identify fractions. Here is a google drawing about how to identify fractions . Next time I am going to try and be more focused so I will have a better understanding about fractions.


Also this week for literacy we have been still working on our slide about our artist. Next time I am going to find a bit more information about him, but this time I ran out of time. We were learning to resurrect about a set artist

Literacy reflection T3W1

Yesterday afternoon Madeline came in to help us with our persuasive writing. We had to find a buddy and then had to try and get them to like a game of our choice. We had to convince them from the heart, mind and inspire them. I liked this activity because I like doing persuasive writing.  

Also this week for literacy we had to fill out a google dock about what is art I didn't know much about art so this was hard for me. This term for literacy our work is going to be based on art.
