The past three weeks we have been

creating things to make

people more aware of Eels and

how they look and

what you can feed them. Some

people have been making homes for them.

My group made a really

big house using a pallet, some

pipes, and string and

paint. I really enjoyed learning

more about Eels like where

they live, what they eat, what they do during

the daytime and

how they catch their prey

and much more.

We are going to put our tuna house into

the stream next to Maddie's house.

Here is a picture of the tuna townhouse that

we have made!

This term we have been learning about The mother of Jesus

and during this week we completed our slideshow. Take a look!

Winter sport

Yesterday we had our first game of winter sport for the season we played down at Hagley park in Christchurch it was so cold. it was really fun I was playing netball with my friends. it was so much fun at the end of it when we had finished we were walking back to the bus it started pouring with rain and we got so wet. The other team beat us but we still had fun I can't wait to do it next week.

Fish in a tree

It's cool! The teacher's been reading us this new book called Fish in a Tree. Its really cool. We have activities to do about it. Sometimes I get to draw pictures and think what it would be like and put herself in the  characters place. It's about a girl with dyslexia who can't read full stop and she's too afraid to tell anyone that she can't. She's got a new teacher Mr Daniels who she really likes. Mr Daniels know something is wrong but he doesn't quite know. some days we  go onto Twitter And we answer questions about the book in the chapters that we've been reading.

Hello everyone


We've done some really awesome things this term and learnt lots of cool things. One of the things we did was a Caritas fun day. We use boxes and made heaps of huts.

We played in the huts and we had rice for lunch. We wanted to see what it was like in South Sudan in their country.

We played a new sport this year it was korfball. We play it with a friend so it makes it really interesting and fun to play. I really enjoyed playing it because it taught me and a new sport that I really like. It I like how you couldn't shoot if someone was guarding you you had to pass to someone that was free who wasn't being guarded.

There's a boy in our class called Blake. He left school this term on Wednesday 13th of April. We gave him a farewell surprise party room in room 5 where we brought along food. We took him outside to go look for a missing hat that someone had hid at morning tea and when he came back we were all hiding and we jumped out and said surprise! He was so happy! It was  fun to see his face he was so surprised

Next term I am looking forward to our new maths programme.

Caritas challenge day

  Caritas fundraising

Yesterday we did a fundraiser for Caritas which is a company that does things for people in South Sudan. We brought a gold coin. We went outside onto the field and made huts out of cardboard.  I like that because we could do it with our friends and make a really cool hut once when we were making out huts. The teachers made cold rice for us so we had some rice and ate it with our hands. It was hard to make the houses because the wind kept blowing them over but we kept on trying and finally our houses were complete and looking really cool.

Korf Ball

Friday 29 March                                                

 Korfball

       Hello, this week we have been learning to play Korfball.  The rules of Korfball are You are not allowed to step if you are holding the ball but you are allowed to pivot and you aren't allowed to shoot a goal if their is someone defening you. The net are very high so it is hard to shoot.  

        

          See you on my next post.

Don the eel scientist

Don the eel scientist

Today it was so fun .. we had another visitor into our school to talk to us about Eels! He is a scientist who was really smart. I learnt…

• NZ eels swim to Tonga to have their babies. After they have their babies, they die.
• Did you know that female eels lay 7-20 million eggs at a time?
• If eels can't eat their prey because they can't get through the skin, they grab on with their teeth and spin themselves around 10 times a second so they can drop something off their prey for someone.
• And if someone is coming in the water or creature they hide and then they jump out and grab them. They can feel the water moving when something coming so they know.
• Eels eat  animals whole and they can see what they eat.
• You can tell how old they are by taking out half of the eels ear and counting the rings on the ear bone. Sadly you can only do this if the eel is dead.

I really enjoyed learning heaps more things today I can't wait to learn more about heels in the future is a really cool to learn things about.
