Christmas Around The World

we are learning about christmas traditions around the world.

Today I learned that in Italy people eat and drink very little on Christmas day because this is a special day of prayer. I also learnt that in France that the children leave their shoes in front of the fire on Christmas eve and when they wake up in the morning, they find them full of Present from father Christmas. In Sweden Christmas eve is knowed as julafton. This is a day for Parties, eating and drinking and present giving. In poland people call Christmas eve the 'Fesival of the star'. and often they dont eat anything until it gets dark and the first star appears. Duch people celebrate on St. Nicholas day 6th December and St Nicholas arrives on the last Saturday in November, riding a white horse.

Today I learnt that people in Britain put out plum pudding.

Can you tell me about some other Christmas traditions from around the world?

The pigeon Writing

I think the pigeon should get a walrus because he will  itlearn his lesson

The pigeon should get a walrus because it would be cool to see what the pigeon would do with it.

I think the pigeon should get a walrus because I would like to see how long until the pigeon gives it a bath or a

shower but the walrus is way bigger than the pigeon.

I think the pigeon should get a walrus because I wonder what the pigeon would get the walrus food and how much it gives.

Over all I wonder what the pigeon does with it.

Alarm Call

To create a story with a twist

This week we have been creating a storing about a goblin and a catwhat will happend next. We had to draw a picture to see what happends next with the goblin and the cat and it had to be a twist.

Alarm Call

Ahhhhh When I was walking I saw the floor cracking “I'M SCARED”

Once upon a time there was a big fat hairy ugly green goblin sneaking to a snoring cat he was stomping around quietly. When he was stomping he heard a crack on the floor because he was stomping to hard BUT it was quiet so he quickly ran to the cat and was about to stand on the cat but he was too scared.

The cat was sleeping on her snugly pink pillow. The goblin had his feet right over the kitten the kitten felt cold air on top of her and his long mustache was touching the tip of her head. While the monster was standing over of the cat then she opened her eyes a tiny bit so the goblin doesn't recognize. Then she opened her eyes wide open and then the cat meooow really loud then the cat scratched him in the face and ripped some of his mustache off then he ran away crying and bleeding then I went back to sleep because I had a stressful day .

In the morning when the cat woke up then she went down stairs she saw the goblin lying in the corner with dry blood on its face. Then she ran to the goblin to see if it was all right because the cat felt sorry for the goblin because it was hurt and lonely. After that she said sorry to make it up to him then she wiped the blood off his face with her arm then the goblin said thank you and said “why did you hurt me in the first place” then she said “because I thought you were stalking me and going to kill me. After all that time the goblin ran away and never came back. Dun Dun    TO BE CONTINUED.

Tornado Information Report

WALT: To write an information report with the correct structure and language features

For the last three weeks we have been learning about weather. For writing We had to pick our own weather feature to write an information report about weather. I chose Tornados because they are really cool to work on .
I am proud of my writing because I have done heaps of my Tornado Imformation Report

Tornados

OMG!! Look at that tornado it is very scary.

Tornadoes are really dangerous. People can get really scared and terrified of Tornados and storms.

Tornados destroy everything in its path. They blow down houses and trees and when they blow down the houses people will not have anywhere to live. Tornados are really dangerous they produce strong winds.

Tornadoes can last for about 10 minutes. Tornadoes are really fast they spin 300 Miles per hour and 483 kilometres per hour. A tornado is a spinning cloud of  air stretching from ground up into a thunderstorm above.

If the cloud touches the ground, it becomes a tornado. Tornados come in many sizes, but they dont normaly last very long.

Tornadoes are sometimes called twisters.

I think when i’m in a tornado I will go under something to keep me safe.

Weather Art

This term we have been learning about weather. In art I created a stormy night picture. First I did the backround using dye, One group was doing the dye and the other group did the silhouette. There was three groups one group was doing the silhouette and one group was doing the thunder with white paint and the other group was doing the dark stormy cloud. I was in the group that was glueing on the silhouette. Next I painted the dark cloud when we were doing the cloud we had to dabb to make the cloud effect with black paint. After that I painted the thunder with the white paint we couldnt do the lightening in straight lines and not thick.

Multipcation Strategies

This week we had to find a strategy that we had used in the past and make a DLO or make an explain everything. I chose to make an explain everything. The equation that I had chosen was 6 x 4 . We were not allowed to just right the answer we had to show how we worked it out.

Exploring Blogs

We are learning to create a positive digital footprint.

We often share personal information when we are online. The people we share with could be our friends and family or people we don't know. We need to make smart decisions about what personal information we share online.

Mindset

During power time we have been learning about growth mindset.We watched a short video about luke skywalker and yoda lifting an X-wing out of the lake. Luke had fixed mindset. A fixed mindset is when you cant do something you say I can't do this and it is to hard. Yoda taught him how to have a growth mindset. A growth mindset is when you say I can do it.

Weather

WALT: we are learning to write a Information Report with the correct stucture and language features.

We are beginning learning about weather features. This week we are writing an Information Report about weather. This is my Information report about weather.

Weather features

“OMG it is hot today...can you feel the heat of the sun”.

Weather is the current atmosphere that we experience. It changes minute to minute.

Right now out there is amazing sun outside the wind is really warm the sky is bright blue and a couple of clouds I can feel the sun heat.

In New Zealand we don’t get much snow but we get hail and in the winter we get sleet and a little bit of snow.

Tornadoes, blizzards, hurricanes and cyclones are really dangerous and extremely powerful they can blow down houses and trees down and after it is all finished everything will be destroyed.

Sometimes in New Zealand there are thunder and lightning they look really cool in the sky but they are really dangerous and scary for other people.

There is nothing better than sitting inside a warm house next to the fire looking at the rain and storms. I like a good storm.

A day in a life of a penguin

After learning about Penguins in Antarctica I wrote a story about what life would be like as a Penguin.

Penguin Story

Penguins are flightless birds. They live in the Southern Hemisphere.

Penguins get very nervous if you get within 3 metres. Emperor Penguins live for about 20years, weight about 23kg and are 1.2m tall.Little penguins live up to 6 years, they weigh about 1.5 kg and are about 30 - 33 cm Birds have wings to fly but penguins have flippers to help them swim in water really fast.

Penguins can swim and go under water for 20 minutes.

The mothers and fathers penguins catch food like fish for them and their babies.

Sometimes the babies mothers don't come back because they have been eaten by whales and their enemies

When adelie penguins are on their nest sometimes for days at a time,they do not eat, instead they live of the fat layers that have formed from lots of previous eating.Penguins eat seafood, fish, squid and krill. Penguins are carnivores they feed on fish, squid, crabs, krill and other seafood they catch while swimming. Penguins swim 22 miles per hour in the water they run really powerful.

Antarctica Animal Food chain

Ove the last few weeks we have been learning about Antarctica. For one of our task we had to make a Antarctica Animal food chain.

Penguin art

WALT: Use paint to create the effect of feathers on the penguin

Last week for our task for litracy we have been learning about Antarctica. Last week for art we were making a penguin. First we drew the penguin that took the whole afternoon. the next day we painted the penguin black on the head and on the arm. The next week we painted the penguin orange. The next day we painted the penguin yellow and while the people were painting the other people could colour in another penguin. These are my drawings and my painting.

Weather Art

 WALT: Use crayon and dye to show movement and ripples in a weather features.

On Monday for our task for litracy we have been learning about weather. For art in the afternoon we were making Weather art. We had to press hard with the white crayon we made rain drops and a rainbow. After that we covered the whole thing with dye and it looked AMAZING.

Description Of Antarctica

WOW!!! Look at them animals they are so amazing and cute. Look at those seals and penguins. The penguins have a fish in their mouth, they ate it in one bite.

The penguins must be really warm because their feathers are so warm. Antarctica is the whitest continent on earth, It is really cold there right now.

The water in Antarctica will be really freezing because the ice is really cold and the ice is on top of the water also some of the ice is under the water that makes it really cold. When you are in Antarctica you need really warm gear to make you warm so you don't freeze. Their is a desert because it is very dry. The temperture at the south pole is 12.3 °C (9.9 °F) and in Peninsula the temperature is 15 °C (59 °F) also in the summer it is

Antarctica is an awesome place to visit when i’m older.

When I was hiding I saw a huge dog running to me out of nowhere… “the giant dog” I couldn't believe it was so big. The dog looked bored so I found a stick and I was throwing it around so it could run around and get it for me. The dog was having good exercise I gave the dog a name I called it Jessie. After Jessie got exercise it was tired so I was patting it and giving it dog biscuits then Jesse fell asleep.
