Athletics Zones 🏃

I was supposed to make it on minecraft but my minecraft was really slow so instead I did it on google drawings . Do you have a garden ?

This activity was one of the funnest activities I have done . It was pretty hard to create a garden but it was so fun being creative  .

Math : Finding a fraction of a number / set 🤓 📝

Talofa lava , 1 week ago and including this week we have been learning about fractions , And how to find a fraction of a number in a set and how to solve fractions with a different Numerator .

The last week of math has been struggling for me and hard , So to make it more fun our teacher gave us an activity to create a presentation teaching people or someone who doesn’t know how to find a fraction of a number .

This activity was really hard because it’s easier to say it in person than to put it into a slide show and say it . Something I enjoyed about this activity was being creative with how I present it .  My favourite part about subjects and activities is getting to create things however I like .

Travis Wetlands🏞

Bonjour , Today  Room 1 and the year 5 boys from room 2 , went on a journey to Travis Wetlands our instructor was Peter and Tracy . We learnt lots of things about Travs Wetlands and what happens at Travis Wetlands .

As soon as we got there we saw lots of Pukekos , walking around the place , We started off by taking a little walk to a place where it floats on top of the water  . We listened to a podcast about how Europeans took up most land after the podcast we did something that was kind of a fun game it was where 5 or 8 people were chosen to pick something out of a Kete and guess what it is . Our first thing was a sieve .

We had to say these sentences where  Travis Wetlands acts or is like this or that .  These were the sentences

Travis Wetlands acts like a sieve  .  Travis Wetlands is a b&b for animals  .  Travis Wetlands is a airport for birds  .  Travis Wetlands acts like a sponge . 

Travis Wetlands is a nursery for birds .

After that we were split up into 2 groups for my first activity we talked about birds and what their names were . Then we got binoculars to spot birds There were lots of birds the birds I spotted were Black Swans , and  Ducks , I didn’t see many birds but there was lots of info and names for birds .

( The names for some birds ) Paradise shell duck , Canadian Geese , Black swan , Grey speckled duck , mallard welcome swallows , and the black cormorant . 

The best part and my favourite part was bug finding when we had a sieve on a stick and had to swish it around in the water and the sieve would collect bugs . We had a container with 6 parts and the different bugs had to be split up so the bigger bugs don’t eat the small bugs .The most interesting bug we found was a bug that looks like a scorpion .

At the end we learnt about food chains . But an interesting fact was when Tracy said the Wetlands drain connects to some drains and the pollution in the drains goes to the Wetlands . 

Have you been to Wetlands before ?

What’s your favourite or a bird you love ?
