'Show and Tell' by Sekope


"Show and Tell" by Neomi


Adrian:
My show and tell today was a Lego crane. I built it a few months ago. It took me about a week to build it. My Mum bought it for me during the holidays because I like lego.
I like this because it can help me with my thinking and I can control it by turning the buttons.
It is like a real crane.

Kea Drawing by Jasmine

Adrian's Pencil Holder

Hello Room 9
I just made a pen holder by using popsicle sticks for mum. I used about half an hour to make it.



Nui's Treasure Map and story

Thanks for sharing your story Nui. This treasure map looks like a real pirate map! I wonder if there were any pirates in New Zealand?

Cybersmart Online Learning with Mrs Grant

Today, we've been very lucky to have Mrs Grant joining our morning Google Meet. We talked about Kawa of Care and how to respect our Chromebooks, chargers and bags. 

We also learnt a new word: etiquette which means 'good manners". 

We all are excited to become good digital citizens, learn new skills and digital tools and enjoy our online learning! 




Maths Word Problem solving by Sadaw

Problem: 

Mason Juggled the ball 46 times. His friend Sekope juggled very well too. Mason and Sekope juggled a total of 100 times. How many times did Sekope juggle the ball?

Sekope juggled the ball 54 times because:

----------

46+54=100

40+50=90---6+4=10

90+10=100

New Zealand Birds

Today, we started to learn about New Zealand birds. Some of these birds are endemic. That means they are found only in our country!  


Here are some of our thoughts:

Cilia: I liked the book because I could learn about New Zealand's birds. My favourite New Zealand bird is tui because I like the colours. Also I like pukeko because they have long legs and they like stealing bread I feed to the ducks. I want to learn more about kea and pukeko

Sadaw: I really enjoyed the book because I actually learnt about new NZ Birds. My favourite NZ bird is the Kea, because they are cheeky like me! I really want to research about a Tūi, because I really want to know where they are usually seen at.

Zurielle: Piwakawaka are very small birds but they have very long tails that looks like a fan! Which reminds me of something! Do you know what it is? It's a fantail! Piwakawaka are very similar to fantails which almost makes piwakawaka and fantails well... the same!
