My Fruit Art

Hello there fellow bloggers, today we have been focusing on 'All About Me'. We had a choice to write a snippet about our summer or make a person out of fruit. I decided to make a person out of fruit. Sometimes I had to arrange my pieces of fruit behind and in front in my drawing, but it all came together. What I didn't like about my art work was that it didn't really come out the way I wanted it to, but I still like it. I liked making my fruit man. We also had to label what parts of the fruit were and then translate it into Maori. 

Concluding the Journey

I enjoyed doing the Summer Learning Journey.

What is one thing that you learned from participating in the Summer Learning Journey programme this year?
That it will help with my reading and writing.

What is one thing that surprised you?
That I had kids from other schools around New Zealand comment on my Summer Learning Journey.

What is one thing that concerned or upset you?
That tourists can destroy places in our world.

What is one thing that you (or your family) can do, moving forward, to help protect our natural environment?
Make sure we recycle and use re-usable bags. Protect our environment for the future.

The Plastic Pledge - Week 4

I think it is a good idea that Countdown and now New World have decided to stop giving out plastic bags. Plastic bags are not good for our environment because they end up in the sea and the animals mistake them for food and eat them and die. They also make our town look messy as people drop them.

My mum thinks it is a great idea too but she needs to remember to take her re-usable bags into the supermarket when we go. She thinks its an awesome idea because it is going to make our planet tidier and will help save our animals.

Crazy Cool Clouds Week 3

Here is what pictures I can see in the clouds.

Like a Scene Out of a Movie week 3

I picked this because I like staying up all night and watching lights light up. When we watch the lights light up we eat popcorn and sometimes watch movies up and it is so fun. Even when we stay up until 10.00 sometimes.

Bird of the year

The kukupa live in the forests especially in puriri trees and feed of the berries.They also eat leaves and buds. They have blue and green feathers and a white breast.they also have a small red beak.They also have red eyes and feet.

I got this pitcher from the SLJ site.

Bee Informed Week 3

The word ‘bumblebee’ is a compound word (bumble + bee). The word ‘bumble’ means to hum buzz or drone.
Bumblebees can fly very quickly. They can reach ground speeds of 54 kilometres per hour (km/h).

Bumblebees are very strong! They carry up to 90 percent of their body weight in food with them to avoid starvation.

Bumblebees can do more work and carry more pollen than other bees, including honeybees. In fact, they can do up to 50 times as much work as a normal honeybee.

The number of bumblebees is declining in New Zealand due to a number of factors, including the removal of wild flowers and flowering tree from the landscape,habitat loss and extensive use of pesticides.

Burning Up Week 3

Here is the graph I created to show the temperatures in these places. My mum showed me how to make a graph.

Off the Menu

I think that it is a good idea that people can get fined up to $100 000 for over fishing.   If you take too many fish there will be none for other families. I like to eat fish and go fishing. I want there to be fish forever.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles Week 2

I would like to explore Milford Sound by helicopter because you would get a good view. You would be able to see the mountains and the rivers. You can fly close to the river and over the snowy mountains.  You wouldn't be cold.

The Midnight Zone Week two

Here is a google draw of how many adults to carry the squid. Here is my google draw.
