Swim Safe With Tracy

On Tuesday, Tracy came to teach about swimming safely. We wondered what this section was about.
Most of us already knew how to swim. Tracy said the adults are know dying, trying to save the children.
We learn to use Channel 16 in emergencies. We staged a play too of what to do in emergencies.
I was a surfer and I saved Vanya. Here is my Swim Safe DLO.

Learning About Takeaways With Whaea Gina

Yesterday, Whaea Gina was teaching us about how much oil and fat are in takeaway foods like Mcdonalds, KFC and Carl’s Jr. Did you know Carl’s Jr is the most unhealthiest restaurant in New Zealand? There are fourteen teaspoons of oils with each burger and chips! Sushi has the least oil with only ¾ of a teaspoon. The most surprising one for me was fish and chips. There is 9 ½ teaspoons with every piece of fish and a scoop of chips. The purpose of this is to teach kids about what they are putting into their bodies and if it is healthy or not.

Te Wiki O Te Reo Māori

This week, our school has been celebrating Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori by playing games, listening to cool stories and singing songs so we can keep Te Reo Māori alive in New Zealand. We have been celebrating this on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with 3 new rotations each day. We all missed one rotation because there were ten. I had fun learning about Te Reo Māori. I learnt heaps about Māori names for months of the year. We did this in our house groups. I was in Kowhāi.

Level 5 Complements Test

A few weeks ago, Te Ngahere made a complements slide based on what level you are at maths. Level one is just addiction up to ten (3 + _=10). Level two is addition to one hundred (14 + __=100) . Level 3 is decimals to ten (5.2 + __=10). Level 4 is addition to one thousand (385 + ___=1000). Level 5 is addiction to 10 with two decimal places. (8.24 + ___=10). My test is level 5. We had to answer them under 4 seconds. I think i did a good job answering the questions but writing them down took awhile. Enjoy and good luck!

How Much Sugar Is In Your Fizzy Drink?

On Monday 30th of July, Te Ngahere has been learning how much sugar is in common drinks we drink often. We had to decide if it was something you should drink everyday, sometimes or occasionally. Did you know that e2 has 24 teaspoons of sugar in a 750ml bottle? That’s heaps of sugar people are drinking. The daily intake of sugar is 6 teaspoons of sugar for girls and 9 teaspoons for boys. That means you would be drinking more than enough sugar.

Algebra

On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, we have been working on Algebra. Algebra is a type of maths when you replace certain numbers with letters in equations. We had to fill in the missing numbers in patterns and find out the rule. I found it quite confusing that we had to write the answers separately from the questions. Here is my answers down below.

Rat Traps - Inquiry - Bay Bush Action

As part of our inquiry this term we have been given some  rat traps by Bay Bush Action. We check the traps everyday Last week, we checked the rat traps Brad and Stella gave us and we got a rat and a mice. Each trap has a number and we use this to log our catch onto a website. Our goal is to become the first pest-free school in New Zealand. Here are the photos down below.
