In Te Maunga this week we had a visit from the Northland Science Roadshow. We did 3 activities. I learnt that a rocket has a special kind of gas. There could be chemicals in the water that could make you sick. I learnt on a Cd if you put it in a dark box if you look inside of it there will be a rainbow. We also got some cool glasses that make us see rainbows.
In Te Maunga we have been learning about cricket. I learnt how to use the ball probably and how to use the bat. At the end we played non-stop cricket. There are two different teams one of them is a fielder and batter team.
On September 25th we did cross country at Bledisloe. I was so tired because we had to run up a hill that was very high. Some of my friends were sprinting at first and I was jogging. Alana and I were going in front of each other. I tried to go in front of my friend Tiiria but she was very, very fast. I came 5th I think. After I finished I got a juicy. Then my little brother wanted a juicy. Then after cross country I went on the bus with my friend Ruby.
This term in Te Maunga we did poetry. I learnt about alliteration, similes, metaphors and adverbs. I wrote 5 poems. One of the poems was about a cat. I used similes and alliteration. Metaphors are when you are comparing 1 thing to another.
In Te Maunga we have been learning about geometry. I learnt about vertices, faces, edges and vertices. We had to do it using shapes. I learnt about 3d shapes and 2d shapes. We had to do a poster. We had to do what colored eyes that it had and what it looked like.
In Te Maunga we did a Treasure Hunt. It was fun. I won an eskimo pie which was good. We could have won headphones, Eskimo pies, a bouncy ball, a brand new hand ball and chicken and chips. We were raising money for the I am Hope charity.
