Tectonic plates.

 Kia ora,

Last week for science we had to do an experiment  to help us learn about plate tectonics and how plate tectonics has helped shape New Zealand. What I learned was that the plates rub together and creates an earthquake or a volcano, which oozes magma . I liked moving the plates side to side.Here are some photos of what we did.  Here is a photo. Can you guess what food we used for our magma?

The Dieffenbach's Rail

Hello,
Last Term we done some science on birds and my birds name was  Dieffenbach's Rail.I liked getting the photos.The thing it found hard was to get all the information for my group.I hope  you like my presentation here it is ...........

Science 1...Me and My DNA

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. 

I have brown hair

I have hazel eyes
I am Maori

I have one dimple under each eye

I can roll my tongue

I don't have a hitchikers thumb

I have wavy hair

I have pale brown shaded skin

I have silver diamond earrings

I do not have a widow's peak

I have not freckles

I have detached ear lobes.


Here is a photo of  my DNA......

Autumn Leaves

Kia ora, Yesterday, our teacher Miss Fletcher took us outside to look at some autumn leaves. I enjoyed going outside and looking at leaves and nature. What I found difficult was finding sentences to match the letters in my acrostic poem. When we got back we had to write a poem about what we saw. I chose to do an acrostic poem called Leaf.  Here is my writing
