Super Fingers | Multiplication Challenge

 L.I: To recall our time tables quicker.

This we did an challenge on multiplication. There was a draw and we were put into a bracket. Whoever won there game advanced to the next round. For my first game of super fingers I won.

I won all of my games except for the semi finals, I lost by one letter. We needed one more bracket to compete so we chosen two wildcards called Micah and Vayan. For the finals the multiplication champion was Afatia.

I really enjoyed this multiplication Challenge and it was fun because it during every game it helped me recall my multiplication and little bit faster every time.

Birds & Matariki

 This week we did an activity called Birds and Matariki. 

We made a DLO and found three birds that were captured for Matariki, then we described each bird. In the DLO we also wrote how the bird was cooked. The three birds that were in our DLO were Kereru, Tui, and a Kaka. 

I found out that a Tui was eaten for Matariki and there threats are predation and habitat loss.

I enjoyed this activity because we lots of different information about each bird.

Osmosis & Transpiration

 This week for tech we are leaning about Osmosis and Transpiration. Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis -make food Plants Water can only move around a flower by xylem.

In the experiment we used Food coloring so we could see the movement in the plant.

I enjoyed it because this experiment was really interesting and I liked how I could the blue in the celery.

Matariki

Matariki is the Maori new year celebration. It takes places each year when the cluster of stars known as Matariki are seen in our skies. The new year is a time for new beginnings and is a time to embrace tradition.

To strengthen our connections to Matariki we had a choice of research activities.

I found out why Matariki disappears on May and reappears on June.

I enjoyed this activity because we the task were interesting and we got to do it in a group to help us finish it faster.
