earthworms

Yesterday, the class and I went to go find some soil, tree bark, leaves, rocks, sticks, grass, and organic matter. We had to layer it in a small container. Today, Fa’alili got us a bigger container for more space. I learned that Earthworms live in soil and organic matter. we went to Google drawing to draw our Earthworm

Learning to add labels

Today, we explored comments.We viewed different ones and looked at them to see if they had a greeting, positive specific reply to the author’s comment. They also had thoughtful and helpful comments too. Having a buddy also helps with what we discuss about what we are learning about. One skill we used was moving the labels and flipping them.

New Zealand Dinosaurs- after Reading and Task

I have been reading and learning about Dinosaurs- that lived in New Zealand 77  million years ago. The sauropods had very long necks and tails. Maybe they could hurt their enemies with their tails. I gave my dinosaur a skin over its skeleton and I used arrow poly lines. Then I even dragged the labels to where they are on the dinosaur’s body.

My Whanau

 

In this term we have looked at an artist named Reuben Paterson who is a New Zealand artist. He is a hard working man and he paints koru patterns to show his family. One day I want to be like him because I love art.

I took a sheet of paper and drew koru patterns that showed the people in my family. Then I coloured the koru patterns and today I dyed the whole page red. I drew my mum, dad, me and my pet.
