Celebrating Success

We created this movie to celebrate success. Our group did fabulous work at making this movie. I learnt a bit about using Movie Maker to create this.

Botanical Garden

On Thursday we went to the Auckland Botanical Gardens. My favorite part was when I went to see the roses because there were lots of colors and lots of petals. My favorite flower was the daisy because it was the biggest one I have ever seen. Also it was a nice day there and we saw a waterfall and a lot of flowers. Also we were allowed to pick up a flower that was on the ground to have a close look at it. Also we took a lot of photos and then we walked for a long time. We went to the children’s part and had a 15 minute rest. Mrs Hoeberigs came with us too.  We had a lovely time there and I hope I’ll visit there again.

Kenya at Rio 2016

Yesterday we were learning with people from other classes about Kenya. Our group were working on our Olympic country's flag and finding out information about Kenya at the Olympics. Here is our slideshow.

At the zoo

On Friday rooms 10, 9, 7 and 6 and some of room 5 we went to the zoo and we saw lots of animals. The best part was when I saw the tiger and the lion. I was in Mrs Buchanan’s group with Katrina, Prudence, Leilani and Bella. I had a lovely time when we had morning tea at the band rotunda. Then we visited the bird and it was screaming at us. The sad part was when we didn't see the crocodile but the trip was not bad. We had lunch at a shelter and the elephant did a poo in front of us. We had a look at the flamingo then went back to where we had to go back to the bus. I think that was the best day ever. When I was on the bus I tried to go to sleep but was too noisy. We made it back to school and then we went home.

Gardening

Gardening flowers outside

When the people went to Vector they had fun and the other people had fun gardening. We planted lavender poppy New Zealand grass and a golden star. We spent the whole day gardening. It was fun. When they came back from Vector, they told us about their trip. They told us that they went in Beyonce and Rihanna changing rooms and they win a prize and had free lunch and came back to school. The people that stayed had lunch at school.

Solar Oven and Teamwork

Following the instructions, I made a solar oven with Shakaia, Katrina and Tyron. It was fun cutting the cardboard, folding the newspapers and covering the top with tin foil. It was a bit tricky cutting the square in the lid and taping the clingfilm to cover the hole in the lid.

Broad beans and cress

We were learning about how plants grow and seeds sprout.  We grew cress and sprouted broad beans in class. We watched how water moves through plants by putting celery in coloured water.

This is how my cress and broad bean changed over time.
