Museum

Today we went to the Museum to talk and learn about stars. We went into the cosmodome and learnt some of the constellations too, like Scorpius and Orion's belt. Orion's Belt is three stars in a row and we also saw Puanga, Matariki and the Milky Way. I learnt that blue stars are hotter than the sun. We celebrate Puanga on the 22nd of June. I also learnt that Orion was a great hunter but he got greedy and hunted all the animals on Earth so a god sent down a very poisonous scorpion. The scorpion stung Orion with his poisonous tail and Orion died. We got to see all the constellations in the cosmodome. There was Leo the lion, an anchor, a centaur, a dead soldier, a man holding a snake, the pot, a viking, a viking ship and others.

Using Place Value

In my maths group we have been learning to solve math problems. I made a glog showing I can solve maths problems with place value.  

3D Picasso Faces

Last week we started creating 3D Picasso faces. First we drew them lightly. We drew a face, made a neck and a shirt if we wanted. Then we painted them. We got to choose out of green, purple, blue, yellow and a few others. We let them dry over lunch time then we started to put on material for the facial features to make it look 3D. First we got the backround for the eyes then some pupils and eye brows im doing my eye brows.

Week 4 Reflection

What: This week we have been focusing on thinking about thinking it is like when you talk out loud when you do something wrong then change it like Graham Braddock did when he was teaching us how to draw a possum. Room15 and Room5 have been learning about cup stacking. We had some expert cup stackers come in and they showed us some of the stuff they have learnt. We had some practices then we had a big cup stacking relay! When we finished our relay the experts had a little relay, they were so fast I could just see there hands. Before that we had former All Black Frank Bunce to talk to us about Westpac Helicopter Trust and a bit of Rugby.


So What: This week I learnt that the Westpac Trust Helicopter save people from places that ambulances can't. If they can't lower the helicopter low enough they use a winch and send two paramedics down. Then they get the person and take them to the nearest hospital.


What: My goal is to finish my homework and work on time. I want to get better at P.E and Music at Rutherford.

Frank Bunce

Today Frank Bunce, former All Black, came and talked to Carlton School about the Westpac Rescue Helicopter. He also answered some questions like how old he was when he stopped playing rugby. He stopped playing at the age of 37. Room 15 was lucky because we got a picture taken with him and we got his autograph as well. We are going to photo copy the autograph so everybody in Room 15 gets his autograph. The Westpac Rescue Helicopter pilot told us when someone is stuck at sea or something like that they use a winch and get lowered down to get to the injured or drowning person.

Words to use instead of said

This is another fantastic Wordle I made about words to use in instead of said. Hope you like it.

Week 3 Reflection

What: This week on Monday Room 15 went to Rutherford for fitness. My group practiced pivoting and passing the ball then we played a game. After a while the groups swapped over and my group went to music. This time I had a go at the keyboard instead of the guitar. Then we went back to School after we finished music. Then on Tuesday we started doing Picasso faces. My Picasso face colour is yellow, purple, brown and blue my background is red. On Thursday we did buddy class some of us showed our buddy's how to post. Me and my buddy Skyla did a wordle about herself. 


So What: I learnt how to pivot better and to pass the ball with both hands and aim for the chest I also learnt a new game.


Now What: My goal is to finish my work and homework so I don't have to go to Room 4 and get detentions.
