Geometry Safari

This term for maths we have been working in a team. We went on a Geometry Safari around the school grounds to see how many 2D  and 3D shapes we could find. Then we had to write what we had found into a table. You can see ours below.

Me and my DNA

Hi This term for science we are learning all about how the human body works and how special we all are. We are also trying to learn how to think and act more like a scientist. So, Miss Fletcher asked us to look at our faces in the mirror and write down notes about what we look like. The information had to be precise and clear so that when someone read it, it would help them find the person it described quickly. It was a bit like being a detective. You had to look and notice things carefully.

Miss Fletcher said that what we look like depends on our mother and father. Making a new human is a bit like making a cake.  You get some ingredients from your mum and some from your dad. The ingredients are called DNA. Everybody’s cake is different to everyone else’s. 

Miss Fletcher said the person with the most efficient description was Andrew J as he wrote: My hair is 1cm long all over. He is the only student in Team Moana with a haircut like that so he was able to be identified very easily. You can read my description below. The sentences highlighted in blue are the ones that Miss Fletcher said were not precise and clear enough.  Ten people said they could recognise me from my description.

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.
