Margret Peters Spelling test

Kia ora everyone

Today, we sat the Margaret Peters Spelling Test. I scored 29 which gives me a spelling age of 8.3 years.

At the beginning of the year, I scored 23 and had a spelling age of 7.6yrs.

So, I improved my spelling age by about 3/4 of a year.

I think I got this result because I try to concentrate during spelling practice at school.

Earth facts

Kia ora

We have been learning about the structure of the Earth. Here is our presentation.

Is the Earth like a hard boiled egg?

Kia ora 

We are learning about what the Earth is like on the outside and the inside. We used hard-boiled eggs as mini-models for the earth. We got to design our own continents and islands on the outside of the egg shell. At the end of the experiment we got to eat the egg!

Here is our science writing.

.Structure of the Earth Facts

hi.

Structure of the Earth Facts

We are learning about the structure of the Earth.

I learnt that the Earth is made up of 4 layers. The top layer is the crust. The crust is the outermost layer of the Earth. It is made of solid rocks. The mantle  is  the thickest layer of Earth and it is like a gooey, oozing chocolate pudding.  It is made mostly of oxygen, silicon and the heavier element magnesium.The Outer Core  and the Inner Core are the innermost layers of the Earth.  The outer core The core is made is liquid because it is so hot,  about 5000–6000^oC, but the inner core remains solid iron and nickel because of the pressure pushing down on it from the layers above.  

In class, we made our own clay models of Earth.  We identifiedeach layer by painting them in different colours.

Below are some pictures of our work.

The Living World

Hello
We have been learning and working on the living world.
We have been doing our multiple intelligences.
My intelligences are;
Musical
Interpersonal 
Interapersonal

Earthworms

We collected earthworms and observed them in our class. We have been writing simple and complex sentences about what we observed.

A life form of a lemonfish

We have been learning how to write explanations and also

doing research about the living world so our teachers gave us this writing task. We learned what a fishbone diagram is and how to use a completed one to make our own using a life form of our choice. We had to organise the fact boxes by using MRS GREN which is an anagram which reminds you about what life forms do. Here is mine. I chose to write about a lemonfish (rig shark)

What I liked about this task: writing my sentences.

What was easy: getting help by friends.

                     

My Multiple Intelligences Test

Here is the test I did on the Multiple Intelligences site. We did this so we could find out what strengths and weaknesses we have we we are learning.
