Poetry Anthology & Food Pyramaid.

This week and last week for Writing we have been focusing on writing Diamante Poems and Limericks.It is for our Poetry Anthology book that  we are doing this term. HEre is one of my Limericks and one of my Diamantes.






Also a few weeks ago we went and had a few sessions with Harold. We were focusing on Health an Nutrition. One thing that Harold introduced us to was the Food Pyramaid. The food Pyrmaid shows you how much servings you sould have a day of Fruit,Vegetables etc. We then had to remake Harolds food pyramaid on a goggle drawing. Here is mine.

Weekly Reflection.

Kia ora welcome to my forst blog post of 2018. These past two weeks have been fun and busy . We have already done so much work that I get to share with you.

Maths:
For maths we have done lots of work sheets focusing on using algorithms. We have done 4 digit by 4 digit subtraction with borrowing, 2 digit by 2 digit multiplaction, 2 digit by 1 digit multiplacation, Adding deciamls, Subtarcting decimals and short divison. My favourite one was 2 digit by 2 digit multiplacation and Adding decimals. We also have started to do a basic facts test every morning. We have 100 mixed basic facts to complete in 5 minutes. My highest that I got was 100/100 in 1:27.

Writing:
For the next six weeks we are doing Poetry Anthology. I have already completed all 3 of my Acrostic Poems. I did one on the Beach one callled Tropical and one called Summer. My favourite one is Tropical because it has lots of descriptive words. What one was your favourite? One thing that I struggled with was trying to find some words to start the sentence off so I went to a dictonary and found some words that helped me.















Art:
For art we had to do a digital collage on us. We were not allowed to get photos off the internet they had to be photos of you or photos, you or your parents have taken. I really enjoyed doing this but the one thing that was hard was trying to fit all of my pictures into one google drawing. I completed it in the end and here is the finsihed product.

2000 New Plants Found This Year .

Today during Reading we had a few choices of what we would like to do and one of them was to go on Kiwi Kids News. I choose to read the article about 2000 New Plants Found This Year.I found it really interesting and I found out a lot of information. One thingthat I found out that many of the new plants discovered have the potential to be used for Food, Crops, Medicenes or sources of Timber. I also found out that Researchers at Kew are trying to identify what plants are at most risk for extinction. Some of the other plants discovered include some new relatives of Aloe Vera. Here is the link of the article that you can look at. If you read the Article comment below what you thought was most interesting part in the Article.
