Matariki

This week we learnt about Matariki. Matariki is a bunch of stars and they're also known as the nine sisters. It used to be seven sisters but then scietensts discovered 2 other stars. All nine stars have meanings. One of the star's (Pohutukawa) meaning remembers those who have passed. Another one (Waiti) watches over our freshwater and environments and one welcomes winter sky and waters.

That's not all, there are more meanings to all nine stars.

Science Road Show

This week we went to Edendale Primary for Science Road Show. We learnt about temperature, fire and water and there were lots of projects there. One of my favorite projects were you put a coin in and it spins around and goes inside a hole or another one were there is about 100 reflections of you. My favorite part about Science Road Show was when there was fire and then the sprayed some toxic stuff and the fire exploded.

Shared Lunch

Today we had shared lunch and we ate very healthy food the reason why we ate healthy food not junk food because in health we learnt about eating healthy. So we had a photo all of room 5 with the healthy food.

Cross Country

This week we had cross country and we did 2 and a half laps around our school. Once I got to my second lap I got tired of running so I stopped I bit then I kept running. After all the laps it was time to finish off cross country so I sprinted as fast as I can and finished cross country I was full of pride and happiness.    

Roll and awnser

Today in maths we played a game called Roll an Answer. It tests the skills we have learnt this year like rounding, place value, addition and subtraction. My group did a board game about place value. Here a photo of my group working out the problems.
