The Show at Glenbrae School

Today our school went to the hall because we had a show about music, books and your imagination. Room 7 and Room 8 was sitting on the chairs on each side of the hall. The rest of the school was sitting down around the people that were doing the show. There show was really cool and their name of the show was called the Shine A Light. They had all these kind of good ideas to encourage people to read and to have a fun time while reading. This show was also about exploring new adventures everyday. There was 2 people and their names were Rose and Richard. Richard was the boy and Rose was the girl.Richard was scared of monsters under the bed ghosts and monster in the wardrobe but eventually he faced his fears with his bright magic camp lamp. Rose also had fears and was scared of her magic mirror because the mirror was mean and was nearly taking over her. Soon Richard scared away the darkness from the mirror and was left alone happy forever.

Poetry Recital

Thursday, 16th June 2016

Today Room 7 had to recite our poems to everyone in our class. We were already studying and learning about poetry in our class. Everyone did their poems and 6 people got to recite our poems on Friday afternoon. We have one more day to remember our poems off by heart so we can say our poems to the school fluently.  Some people didn't do there's because they were sick and they didn't come to school when we were studying about it. 

My classmates had lots of different topics on their poems. (eg) People did season's and different kinds of made up poems.

Netball Skills

Today, my class had another session of Netball. We had our session with a lady called Anne. First of all, Anne told us to do a warm up by playing Shadow Follower. We did that kind of warm because we needed to learn how to defend the ball. When we finished our warm up, we did an intercept activity. We had 4 team members in one group. 2 people had to pass it to each other and the other 2 had to try to intercept it. It was a lot of fun but we had to move on. Next, we played the game called the Four corner attack. 1 person had to stay in the middle and try to turn were the number of the balls came from. There were only four corners but the only thing was that there was another person in the middle try to block where the ball came from. We played that game for only about like 5 - 8 minutes. Next, we played another game called the shooting game. We split up the class because we had to have 2 teams. we all had numbers and I was number 2. Whatever number she said we had to go to the middle and get the ball and pass it to everyone in our team in order so when the ball when around everyone, they have to pass it back to you and you have to shoot it in the hoop. My team one by 24 and the other team had 16 points. After that our session was finished and we went back to class.

Kiwi Sport Netball

Today we had a netball session for kiwi sport with this lady called Anne. Anne came to our school to teach us some netball skills. Anne taught us some skill's like the pivot, your stance and defending.

The first thing that we did today was a warm up. The coach split the class in half and took half of the class to the other side of the court and the other half to the other side of the court. After that, we had to run to each other and high five and then come back to the line. When we finished our warm up we had a game of netball  but the rules were different, we had to start in a line in the middle and we have to try and get to the other side and bounce it at the edge of the other side.

Science Investigation

We are learning what plants need to survive

We are learning how plants respond to environmental changes.

What do plants need to survive?

Water

Sun

Soil/ fertilizer/ dirt

Oxygen

Carbon dioxide

We are going to conduct a science investigation to determine what will happen to plants when their environment changes. In this assignment we will be changing the environment of each of the mint plants and the potatoes.

What will we need to make this a fair investigation?

• Lots of plants in case one fails
• Make sure they all get the same amount of sun
• Make sure they still have the other things they need to survive
• Monitor progress every few days - with pictures
• Have a “control” plant, that we do all the right things to.

Method:

• Suffocate a plant - by putting it in a container
• Stop watering a plant
• Take out the soil
• Put in the dark
• Normal plant - the control

Hypothesis: I think it will die because it has no soil.

The plant I will be observing is: Taking out the soil.

Observation day 1: It was all healthy on the first day.

Observation day 2: It was droopy and it was getting pale.

Observation day 3: The plant was still droopy and it got more pale.

Observation day 4: The mint plant is turning dead and getting darker.

Observation day 7: Now the mint plant is flat and its dead.

Explanation: Why did this happen to my plant?

The mint plant died because the plant didn’t have any soil and because it needs dirt to help it stay strong.

Maths / 16 - 05 - 16

Sharing Lollies

           We are learning to identify equivalent fractions

Maara and her three friends are going to share a licorice lace. If the lace is 12cm long, what length of the lace will each friend get? What fraction will they get? 1/4

2 other friends approach Maara and would like some of the lace too. How can they split the lace (which has already been cut into quarters) between 6 people equally.

2/12

What would happen if yet another two friends wanted a share?3/24

How many cm of the lace would they recieve?

3/12
