Bay Bush Action

In Te Ngahere this term we have been learning about endemic,

Native and introduced birds. We also had some visitor from Bay Bush Action come in and tell as more things about birds, their names were Brad and Stella. If you don’t know what Bay Bush Action is it is a group of people that protect endemic and native birds so they don't go extinct. They also kill pests like possums, cats, dogs, stoats and rats. We also got to place rat traps around the school to see if we get anything. Our goal this year is to be the first rat free school in New Zealand!! Here is some photos of as placing some traps.  

Moment In Time

In Te Ngahere  (our class) this term we have been writing about te Ngahere (the bush). We  had to write a piece of writing called a moment in time. When we were writing we had to describe what we could see, hear, feel and smell. I think I could have done a bit more writing and added more ideas. I also I really did well at explaining what I did. here is my writing

Kererus singing beautiful melodies as they fly delicately around, that smell of wet bark flowing into everyone's noses, long big kauri tree waving to a kowhai tree, a moving in the bush, big widow spider slowly crawling on the kauri tree, raging wind flowing through everyone's hair, big kauri tree waving to people,

Last term in Te Ngahere we had been learning about food chains. To share our learning we made animations about what we had learnt. We also had to say what the things are and what they do. When we finished we had to Screencastify our voice into it and show the class. I think I did really well at putting my voice in because it was clear and loud. I really enjoyed learning about food chains. What I think I could have done better was explaining what I have learnt.

Here is my animation hope you enjoy watching it.

Pepeha

My blog post link

Te Ngahere and we have been learning how to say our pepeha. I really enjoyed when I learnt how to do my pepeha because now I know how to introduce my family. I think I really did well with not giving up because when I tried to do my pepeha it was so hard because I didn't know how to spell some of the maori words but I ended up doing it.   

Isaiah is

In Te Ngahere we have been learning to do metaphors

so we made a poem. I really like doing this because we got to write cool and funny metaphors I think I need to work on doing more poems because I haven't done enough. This is also my first draft.

Isaiah is...

Isaiah is a Cheetah sprinting through his learning.

Isaiah is a Monkey swinging past his learning.

Isaiah is a pair of rugby shoes scoring tries all day.

Isaiah is a Rabbit cute and cuddly.

Isaiah is the sky tower, towering over his learning.
