My Ideas about Sound

This shows what I knew about sound before we learnt about it (on the left) and on the right what I know now.

Sound

The most interesting thing that I found out learning about sound was that if you use instruments you can make up a story with them. And that sound waves need air to travel through so you can't hear sounds in space.

Measurement

Mass, mass is a kind of measurement we use, Room 11 has been using mass, this is the order from biggest to smallest, tonnes (T), kilograms (kg), Grams (g), pounds (lbs) and milligrams (mg).

Length, length is a kind of measurement we use, Room 11 has been using length, this is the order from biggest to smallest, kilometers (km), meters (m), centimeters (cm) and millimeters (mm).

Procedure Writing

The other day we did a procedure on how to make an Origami whale. My instructions were clear but it did not turn out right because there was a point at the top. Next time I will make my instructions clearer.

Reciprocal Reading

The Roald Dahl group has learnt how to do reciprocal reading, that means one person at a time gets to be teacher. Reciprocal reading has helped us a lot with reading because lets say Shaynie-Lee was the teacher and Tawhiao was reading to her while the rest of the group read, and he came to a word he did not know. Then Shaynie-Lee and the rest of the group could help him and he could one day see that word and know what it means himself and how to say it.

Eating our vegetables

The other day the Middle Enviro.Agents ate the broccoli they grew. We cut some of the stalks off and we carred it back to the staff room. Megan took photos, me Susanna and Sarah Reed washed the food, Nikita grated the cheese and the rest of the Enviro.Agents chopped the food once we had cleaned it. And once we had finished our job we helped Mrs Head make the cheese sauce. We read the recipe to her so she knew what to do for the baking. Once we had finshed we got to eat it yum yum!

Awesome Arbor Day

On Friday 1/6/12 the Enviro. Agents went to Arbor Day which was just opposite the Hamilton Zoo. It took a long time to get there and people were singing the wheels on the bus it drove me on an adventure. It was really hot oh well lets just get back to Arbor Day. Me, Megan and Ella meet a lady from a different school she helped us plant more than 20 trees. We were puffed at the end. At the end we got a just juce drink and two sausages. And finally we left carrying our spades in one hand when we got to the end of the track people were giving out koiwhai trees, we each got two trees. So we were left carrying our spade in one hand and two koiwhai trees in the other hand. It was a long trip back to school. Manaia took her Horton Hears A Who book out and was reading it on the way back. I was not lucky I was by her because she was reading it out loud and it made me fel tired because it was like she was my mum and it was night time and it was story time she made me fall asleep zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz when I woke up we were at school I was the last one to hop out. We got to our class room I got half a hours sleep at lunch then tawhiaos cousin Ethan woke me up cause the bell went.

Mini Speech

My mini speech was on what I would spend $500 on if I won it. Next time I will try not to look at my book as much and speak loudly and clearly.
