Technolagy rotation

Hi, bloggers for the past three weeks we have been doing a technology Rotation. We had many different stops like making paper circuits, making a Marble Bridge and making Geo boards . In the paper circuit making we had to try make a light using and LED battery to make a LED light bulb flash or turn on. After trying that out, we used different materials that have electricity to make a circuit. Some of the materials we used were LED batteries and light bulbs , tinfoil, split pins and paper clips. Our challenge was to make a switch to turn our LED light bulb and turn it off again. The thing that I found difficult was trying to get the circuit stable and show perseverance. The next place I went to was making Geo boards. The materials we used were nails, wood and elastic strings. The Geo board challenge was using measurement to create, using tools to put things together and also taking turns and sharing. The thing I found difficult were nailing the nails in because I kept hitting my finger but not to hard so it wasn't that sore . Together they were both really fun but my favorite was making the paper circuits because I learnt how light works. Here are some photos of what we created. I think I will use tool skills to help me with things like building a bird house.. I will also use measurement to help me with math and maybe building something for the bush .

Summer learning (week 1/ Day 1)

Today's activity for the summer learning journey is finding out three top facts about New Zealand on the Tourism New Zealand site. My first facts about New Zealand is, New Zealand is part of the pacific rim of fire and it's most active volcano is Mount Ruapehu , which is found in the middle of the North Island . Did you know that? The Auckland sky tower is the tallest freestanding structure in the southern hemisphere, standing at 328 meters high. Last fact about New Zealand that I found interesting was 30% of the country is forest. So there must be a lot of trees then. CAN YOU FIND OUT SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT NEW ZEALAND?

Summer learning journey

Morena bloggers, Today in Literacy tumble we are doing something called the Summer Learning Journey. We had to pick a country and, I picked Australia. The two reasons why I picked Australia is because one my favorite netball player is married to an Australian rugby player and, two because I wanted to find out about Australia so I can tell my aunt, who lives in Australia. Who wants to find out about Australia? Lets Go.... In Australia the capital is Canberra, there are many other places like Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. In Australia they have a holiday called Australia Day, which is on the 26th of January. On Australian day they eat things like Pavlova and also chips down at the beach. The national colours are Green and gold and they usually have a Kangaroo on their sports uniform.

Zoofari

Hi, bloggers as part of our inquiry we went to Auckland Zoo. We went and saw the New Zealand animals because that is our inquiry focus this term. Each class went with one of the zoo educators. We were sent to specific place in the zoo, we went to see the New Zeland birds and animals like the tuatara. Some of the birds we saw were a kereru, kaka, bellbird and teike (which is a stichbird). We also went into the Bug Lab where we got to learn about bugs and do some activites. My favrouite activity was when you made a butterfly and tried seeing how high it could fly. After that we got to explore some other animlals around the zoo. My favrouite animlal was the elephant because it was doing somthing really really funny. Here are some photos of the day! Here is us being a Tuatra Blog you later😍😍
