My 2020 Book

 

Rawhiti Virtual A&P Show

For the virtual A & P show me and my buddy Minttu made farm animals on Minecraft with Elizabeth, we made: Ducks, bees, cats, and pigs. The best part was when we finished and looking at all the farm animals we made. My lest favourite part was accidentally deleting things. My favourite animal was the cat because it was pocking its pows out of the box. It was really fun working with Elizabeth.

My Poems

 Lellow 

Lellow is bright like the sunlight, smart and cheerful.

Eyes that shine like the sun.

Moves like blooming blossoms.

Carries happiness.

Relaxed breath.

Dust 

Dust doesn't talk.

Eyes are as blue as the ocean.

Touch of glass.

Wears a cloak of shame.

Sounds dark and hidden.

Drifts away and says “don't bother finding me.”

Chilli

Burning red eyes like slices of chilli.

Walks like he's on fire.

Carries a handful of chilli seeds.

Breath smells fiery and burnt.

Sounds like a maniac he says “I'm too hot to face.”

Bubble

Bubble is soft.

He’s comfy and fat.

Walks bouncefully like a beach ball.

Wears a baby blue witch hat.

Talks sweetfully.

And says “bubble blue”.

Sunset

Sunset is yellow and blue with a touch of purple.

Wears a sunhat.

Walks in joy.

Smells like lollipops.

“Says have a nice day.”

The Farm Poem

 The farm was usual enough; it had

Clear blue skies, woolly sheep, Grandma, singing birds,

And even a big glass house

I never went in. My grandma and I

Did what we liked to do- lay down in the squishy moss,

Counted the noisy birds going by over and over again,

Made huts in the dark scary forest, raced our paper

Boats down the stream, fed chickens or swung on the swings.

Doing nothing important. 

We used the recipe for James K Baxter's poem The Town and made it into our own poem

Maths this week

 

This week for Maths we are working on how to explain place value this is me saying the number and splitting them into the right columns.

Saying the number 7,482,561

 This is me saying a 7 digit number. I'm saying the number 7,482,561. The 7 is in the Millions, 482 is in the thousands, and the 56 is in the Tens, and the 1 is in the ones.

Planting Day !!!!!

 Today we planted our seeds in Rawhiti school garden. 

It was a sunny day with a peak of clouds. We had a net for the beans and chickpeas to climb up. We had our own little garden to put them in, my beans were called Kev which was smart, and Devil the mean one. Before we planted them in the garden, they were planted in a bag that was made into a greenhouse. But then they got too big so we had to give them more room, so we planted them in a biodegradable pot. We waited a few days until they got bigger. When they got big enough it was time to plant them. I planted mine at the back of the net. There were chickpeas and beans. the people that were here the day we planted them got the beans, and the people the next day got the chickpeas. So far the beans are growing the best. We have also started growing plants in tea bags,  plants in eggs, and taking the bottoms off carrots then growing them again. For our next inquiry there's alot of choices to pick from,such as: getting an avocado pip and growing an avocado, making houses for the plants in the garden, a watering system, and lots more. We had lots of fun planting plants in the garden. I wonder how tall my beans will grow.

My Bean Story

 

I wandered into Tāne Mahuta with a big smile on my face but looked around and saw no one there. 

As I was putting my lunch box away and I realised that the air felt fresh. In the corner of my eye I saw a big green thing, my face started to shrivel, I turned around. It was my plant! It was trying to get outside the roof and the roof was getting lifted because of the plant. I was trying to find a teacher but there was no one in the classroom.

 I ran to the door and I started tugging at it. It wouldn't budge. I started to feel scared and worried. 

I slowly walked to the big bean plant. It was growing bigger and bigger. I started to get butterflies in my stomach. My cheeks felt like chillies. My feet couldn't stop wobbling. 

I heard screaming from inside the plant. I saw a little glimpse of an eye. It was blue and filled with horror. The screaming got louder.

 There were voices in my head telling me to do something. I gathered up all the stuff that would be useful to get them out. I got a drink bottle, scissors, pears, and a banana. 

I got the drink bottle and threw the water all over the plant but it grew bigger as my face got weaker.

 I tried the scissors but the plant root was too big,  it felt like I was shrinking, I still hear the screaming of the terrified people.

The last things I had were the banana and the pears. I threw the pears and bananas at the same time.

 I crossed my fingers and shut my eyes, all of a sudden I heard a BURP! The plant had eaten the fruit and was little again.

My face smiled in relief. I saw my friends and teachers again and we celebrated with a hug.

Don't let your weeds grow over

Your flowers are trying to make their way through the prickly weeds. Your trying to make your glowing yellow flowers shine brighter then ever, to make the weeds turn into flowers, one at a time they go “POP”, “POP”, “POP”. Flowers start spreading their way around your brain. Until your brain is filled with flowers. Now you’re happy and smart. Stay bright and don't let the weeds grow over.

Why we need cats

The submarine

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrXIDHDsoh0 Watch this video

I was sitting in the cold sand and suddenly a big wave hit me. It felt like smashing through glass, my back was scraping through the sand, I tried to get out but i was tangled in a net. Next minute I was hit. Something was different. It was warm and I could hear mumbling but my eyes were sore so i couldn’t open them, all i could hear was, “why is she out here?” I don't know but at least she's ok, when she wakes up she could tell us why she was out in the deeps of the sea.”It felt like a long time later but i dont know. I could open my eyes but I'm too scared to. I hear footsteps coming closer, the door goes CREEEEK . “Are you awake?” “Yes who are you and where am I”? “Well you got hit so we took you in the submarine. We are going and traveling the world and picking up plastic, my name's Kev”. “I'm in a submarine”? I sit up and stare out the window, “what's that”? “It's plastic,” says Kev. “Why is the corel dark and why is there so much rubbish why is the fish not moving and why is there not much fish”? “People are throwing plastic in the water and stepping in corel and the fish and other sea creatures eat the plastic and die”, said Kev. “Oh how sad, can i help you on your journey”? “Ok you can,” said Kev. Someone else walks down the hall why and comes in. “Who are you”? “Im John”. Where did you come from, why were you in the deeps of the sea”, said John.” I”ll tell you later John”, said Kev. “I have an idea, i”ll go start. I need paper pens and a pencil”. Kev goes and gets me pens paper and a pencil and I get to work. “A little bit of that, some green umm orange and voila”. “Kev, Kev, John, John“. “Coming “said Kev. “coming” said John. “Wow that's so cool but i dont think it's going to work but it’s worth a try”, said Kev.

“Can you photocopy 400 of this”. “Ok”, said John. 35 mitutes later. “Done”, says John. “Yay so we need to park The submarine at the city and hang these everywhere”.BANG “the submarine has parked”, said Kev.
We walk down the long hallway and open the door. Let's place one there and what about there there too that's a
good Spot. 1 hour later. ‘Hand me the last one”.”No more”. SaysJohn and Kev at the same time. A few weeks later. "Look the news is on and it's about my poster". "Really"? Said Kev.”Coming “, said John. It started a little ago so this is all i got, “This poster that someone made has changed the world, everyone is paying attention and listening to the poster and not throwing plastic away and recycling”. “We did it”!

Why we dont need cars

Why we don't need cars

I do not believe that we need cars. Here are the reasons why.

We don't need cars because we have bikes, scooters (electric) and skateboards and we can walk or run.

Cars are bad for the environment because they let off gases which add to the poisonous global warming.

If you had to have a car the best one would be an electric car, because they don't pollute the air, they don't use petrol they use energy.

Cars contribute about 80 per cent of the nitrogen dioxide levels, this is harmful to plants.

Lockdown was cleaning the air because we didn’t drive cars as much but now we are at Level 2 more people are driving cars, so there will be more pollution.

That is why I do not believe that we need cars.

The story I will tell my children

The story I will tell my children

When I was younger there was this virus it was called covid 19 it was also called coronavirus. There was 4 stages 4, 3, 2, and 1. Level 4 was when you had to lockdown in your house with only the people that live with you and the only place you could go was the supermarket and the hospital. Level 3 was the same but you could invite a person in your bubble. level 2 was when you could hug people that you know but the people you didn't know you had to stay 2 meters away, and most of the places were open. Level 1 was normal. When covid 19 happened we couldn't go on the playgrounds, when we went into shops we had to stay 2 meters apart and sanitize your hands before going in, we had to do school work at home and talk to the teachers on this thing called google meets. The elderly people were most at risk of getting covid 19 so people had to get groceries and drop it at their doors. When we went grocery shopping only one person from your family could go in.

This is my covid 19 picture

My cat interveiw

My cat interveiw

Name: Tiger

Age: 4

Birthday: 26 December

Type: tortoiseshell moggy longed haired

Likes: Adventuring, tickling under the chin, sleeping in her box and cuddling.

Favorite toy: Feathers wrapped in string.

Doesn't like: Drinking water out of her bowl



My cat always drinks out of the tap. When I tickle her chin she lifts it up. When she's hungry she meows. In the morning I wake up and my cat takes me to my tooth brush and my hair brush and after she takes me down stairs and looks behind to see if I'm coming. I'm teaching my cat how to roll over and she's starting to learn. When I throw something she hears it and runs after it but doesn't bring it back. She loves outside. When I put a blanket on the ground she runs under it and hides there and waits for birds and sleeps, at the end of the blanket she pops her head out. She is very fluffy and cuddly. She loves cuddles.

How to make chocolate leaves

How to make chocolate leaves

What you need: chocolate, a spoon or a rubber brush, leaves that are not poisonous and are medium size, are not flopy and it will look better if you can see the veins eg Comellia leaves, microwave, bowl, fridge.

How to make it: get a bowl out and put a good amount of chocolate for as many leaves as you won't, melt the chocolate in the microwave for around about 40 seconds depending on how hot your microwave is. Get some not poisonous leaves that are a good size, place the leaves so the front is on the table. Get the chocolate and get a spoon or a rubber brush and paint the back of the leaves, make sure there's no lines, make it thick. Place chocolate leaves in the fridge for about 1 hour and a half or 2 hours. After 2 hours or 1 hour and a half, slowly peel the leaf off the chocolate (some leaves will break but it's ok). Now you will have pretty and tasty chocolate leaves that you could put on cupcakes, muffins, cakes and more.

Potato Light Bulb Experiment

Elephant Toothpaste

I found a video that told me how to make Elephant toothpaste. It said, 20% hydrogen peroxide, dish soap, food coloring, potassium iodide but we used 10% hydrogen peroxide, and
we dident have the potassium iodide so we used yeast this is how it turned out.

        Before                                                                                                                         After                                                                         My recipe

The experiment dident work it dident foam up like the video. Next time we will get 20% hydrogen peroxide, and we will get potassium iodide.

What are clouds

What are clouds


Clouds are up of water drops or ice crystals floating in the sky. There are many kinds of clouds. Clouds are a important part of Earth’s weather


How do clouds form


The clouds can be full of water. But most of the time you can see the water. The drops of the water are too small to see. They have turned into a gas called water vapor. As the water vapor goes higher in the sky, the air gets cooler. The cooler air causes the droplets to start sticking to things like bits of dust, ice or sea salt.

What are some types of clouds


Clouds get their name in two ways. One way is by where they are found in the sky. Some clouds are high up in the sky. Low clouds form closer to Earth’s surface. In fact, low can even touch the ground. These clouds are called Fog. Middle clouds are found between low and high clouds.

Another way clouds are named is by their shape. Cirrus clouds are high clouds. They look like feathers. Cumulus clouds are middle clouds. These clouds look like giant cotton balls in the sky. Stratus clouds are low clouds. They cover the sky like bed sheets.

What causes rain

Most of the water in clouds is in very small droplets. The droplets are so light they float in the air. Sometimes those droplets join with other droplets. Then they turn into larger drops. When that happens, gravity causes them to fall to Earth. We call the falling water drops “rain”. When the air is colder, the water may form snowflakes instead. Freezing rain, sleet or even hail can fall from clouds.



This is my summary


Cloudsr ae full of tiny water drops, called water vapor. Water vapor makes the air cooler. Cooler air gets droplets start sticking to things. Clouds are found in the sky. Clouds that touch the ground are called Fog. Different types of clouds: Cirrus clouds, high clouds, Cumulus clouds, middle clouds, Stratus clouds, low clouds. The water in clouds are small droplets. Droplets float in the air. Droplets join with other droplets to make big droplets. Falling drops are called “rain”. Hail and snow come out of clouds.

Rainbow fruit and veg

1 I chose the blueberries because they are a small snack to eat and are healthy.

2 I chose the watermelon because it's nice and juicy with lots of water in it.

3 I chose the pear because it's a nice crunchy fruit and they are very good for lunches.

4 I chose the grapes because you can scwes the out inside of them and there a bit sawa and sweet.

5 I chose the carrots because they are healthy and crunchy.

6 I chose the banana because It's nice and sweet if you feel like sweet fruit bananas are sweet.

I hope you enjoyed leaving a comment about what your favorite fruit is but dont eat too much fruit.

Descriptive writing

I was standing in the woods and no one was there but beautiful blue flowers popping out fragrance. They looked like a river gliding down the woods with the sun reflecting off the leaves. It smells like blooming lavender with the sound of singing birds. I feel sneezy lying in the blue blooming fragrant flowers making an angel pattern imagining I'm in the snow.
