Maths Poster

On Wednesday me and my friend Otis Presented our maths poster. We chose addition. One of our questions was: I have 3 skill levels. Then I increase it by 8. How many skill levels do I have? We also wrote addition vocabulary words like increase. I enjoyed it because we got to help Room 8 with their maths by showing them our posters.

gymnastics

Yesterday Xavier RG, Xavier P, Otis, me and some girls went to the gymnastics zones. The boys events was bar, vault and floor. We came 1st as a team because we were the only team. Xavier P came 4th and I came 1st equal. When I won I felt super good but annoyed the I tied because I tied with someone who does gymnastics with me. It was super fun and we got to skip some of school. hehehehehe

The Eel and the Flounder

Today me and my friend Stanley presented our slide. Our slide was on the Eel and the Flounder myth. We did it because we where studying myths and we got to choose one of the myths we learnt about. The Eel and the Flounder is a Tuvaluan myth. I like this myth because it shows you not to be mean and not to argue.      

Science experiment

On Thursday the class did science. We got 4 containers and put green, yellow, red and blue dye in each container. We put the ends of wet paper towels in the dye and the end of dry paper towels. After lunch we came in and saw the dry paper towels had absorbed the dye and the 2 dyes they were in was touching each other. I thought it was really cool. 

Mary Mackillop

On Wednesday it was Mary MacKillop's feast day. We went to church for mass and after church we got to do fun activities. One of the activities was the dot art. Dot art is when you get a silhouette and make patterns with the dots. This was my one.  

Gymnastics Speech

On Tuesday I did my speech on Gymnastics. I was really nervous. Your time had to be 2.30 to 3.30. If you were under 2.30 or over 3.30 you would get points off. I was happy when I didn't get picked for semifinals because I didn't want to say it again because it was too much pressure. Even if I did get picked I would probably have said no. 

Animal Classification

Yesterday we learned about how animals are classified into groups. Animals are either vertebrates (which means they have a spine) or invertebrates ( which don't have a spine).

Invertebrates are animals like jellyfish, crabs, insects and octopus.

Vertebrates are put into 5 groups. they are mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and amphibians.
Mammals have fur or hair and give birth to live young. Birds have feathers and lay hard eggs. Reptiles are cold-blooded and lay soft eggs. Amphibians breathe through their skin and need to keep their skin moist. Fish breathe through gills and have fins.

Here are 5 examples of each type:

Mammals: dolphins, cows, gorillas, Llamas and bats.

Birds: penguins, toucans, swans, parrots and flamingos.

Reptiles: Snakes, alligators, chameleons, tortoise and turtles.

Amphibians: Frogs, salamanders, toad, newts and caecilians.

Fish: goldfish, sea horses, stingrays, sharks and eel.
