rangoli pattern

 Today in Whenua we had to have posted our rangoli patterns otherwise we would have to post it at lunch time above is the rangoli pattern that I designed for our Diwali celebrations work I hope you like my pattern.

Literacy

 

My-Quatrains

 Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall 

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

all the king's horses and all of his men 

couldn't put Humpty together again.

roses are red 

violets are blue 

My KTM 

flys past you

roses are red 

violets are blue

I shoot hoops 

and dunk on you.

tiger tiger burning bright 

in the forests of the night 

in the light so fearful and frightful

sometimes it can be a delight 

Today for writing we did more poems and today we learnt what a quatrain is and wrote four of them above are my four Quatrains. The easiest part for me was writing them because they were simple to write. And the most difficult part for me was understanding how to write one. By Harrison 

Limericks

 There once was a boy named Harry 

most people called him barry 

and he was very hairy 

so he thought he was a fairy 

and then turned into a blueberry. 

there once was a boy named luke 

he looked like a puke

he tried his luck to hunt ducks

he liked to hit hockey pucks

so he set off a nuke. 

Today we had to write limericks above are my limericks I wrote I hope you like them. The easiest part for me was thinking of someone to write about for my limericks. But the most difficult part for me was writing about the person because it was confusing with a certain amount of syllables. By Harrison 

Paralympic

 Today we did a bit on our paralympic work I started this activity in lockdown but never finished it because I couldn't find half of the information but today I found it all this is about how far it is to get to Tokyo from these places around the world. The easiest part for me was the flight time because it was very easy to find. And the most difficult part for me was finding the travel distance because where ever i looked I couldn't find it but today I found out how to get the travel distance.

Lockdown form

 Today in Whenua we had to fill out a form on how we feel about coming back to school after lockdown above is my google drawing on the form I hope you like it. The easiest part for me was getting an emoji for how i feel because i didn't want to come back to school yet. And the most difficult part for me was saying what I missed about the lockdown. By Harrison 

Maths week 7

 

Maths

 

Today in Whenua we had to do challenge cards on perimeter above is the document of my maths I hope you like it. The easiest part for me was doing the challenge cards because I think I would have got most of them right because I think I understood them well. And the most difficult part for me was getting into the document because it just wouldn't let me go into it. By Harrison

Meerkat research

 Today for home/online school we had to do a weekly quiz on things that have happened in the last week and once you finished the quiz you had to pick a topic from the quiz to research about and I choose the meerkats that have just been born in wellington zoo. The easiest part for me was picking a topic because I thought meerkats would be cool to research. Bu the most difficult part for me was getting information because for some reason there was not much information to write that was interesting. By Harrison  

maths

 

Today for home/online school we had to do an addition and subtraction slide show of problems above is the slide show i did i hope you like it. The easiest part for me was doing the first question because for me it was very simple. but the hardest part for the was the one where you had the number 1-9 and you can only use each one once only and I could get 1,441 but then i didn't use three numbers so it wouldn't count. By Harrison

literacy

 

Today for home/online school we had to read a school journal about a nine-year-old boy that cycled the length of the north island above is the activity we had to do on the book I hope you like it. The easiest part for me was reading the book because it wasn't hard. But the most difficult part for me was writing the notes partly because I didn't really know any of the important notes but I got some in the end. By Harrison 

The history of dogs

 Today for at home school one of our can dos were history on dogs above is some research on the history of dogs and some pictures of my unties dogs and our dog Alfie I hope you like it. The easiest part for me was watching the video on the history of dogs because all you had to do is listen. And the most difficult part for me was remembering all the information from the video. By Harrison 

word of the week

 Today for online school we only had to do a maths buddy task about simplifying fractions and the word of the week above is my word of the week the word this week was obligation I hope you like it. The easiest part for me was getting a picture obviously because you just search up the word of the week and go to images and get a picture. the most difficult part for me was writing a sentence because I couldn't get one that made sense but i think it makes sense now. By Harrison 

Converting improper fractions into mixed numbers

 

Today for online/home school we had to record our speech's and do our slide show about converting improper fractions into mixed numbers above is the slide show I hope you enjoy it. The easiest part for me was doing the top equations because the video we had to watch explained them. But the most difficult part for me was trying to figure out the bottom three questions because the video didn't explain them and I couldn't figure out the answer for the questions but I will update the slide show once I figure out how to do them. By Harrison 

Whenua bake-off

 Today for home school we had been doing a bake-off below are some photos of me and my brother Wilbur making (un)healthy peanut butter balls. ingredients:  3/4 of a cup of peanut butter, 1 cup of icing sugar, 1/4 of a cup of melted butter then you had to mix it with your hands and finally roll it into balls and put it into the fridge for about 1 hour then they were ready to eat. the easiest part for me was making it because Wilbur was mostly mixing it and I was only helping with the measurements because he was really excited to help. but the worst part was waiting for them to harden up while they were in the fridge because we really wanted to eat them. By Harrison  

Ghost cities

 

The last two weeks in Whenua we have been researching ghost cities above is my research on a ghost city the ghost city I did research on was oradour-sur-glane i hope you enjoy it. The easiest part for me was choosing what ghost city to research about because I choose oradour-sur-glane because it had to do with world war ll. The most difficult part for me was getting information because we didn't actually do much on ghost cities until lockdown because we were doing other things in class for reading. By Harrison

improper fractions

 This week in when we had to do a DLO of the maths we did this week above is my DLO i hope you like it. The easiest part for me was writing the DLO. And the hardest part for me was writing about the maths because i wasnt in class for maths most of this week because i was and westamaths training By Harrison

Olympics research

This week and last week in Whenua we had to do Olympics research about traditions or how the Olympics started or anything about the Olympics above is my Olympics research I hope you like it. The easiest part for me was picking what to research about the Olympics because I chose the opening and closing ceremonies and Olympic traditions and what the Olympics were like when they first started. The most difficult part for me was finding information about the opening and closing ceremonies and how they were compared to how they are now. By Harrison
