The Most Insane Learning About Food Webs

 In Te Ngahere he have been learning about how food webs. We had to make a copy of this google drawing. Food webs are a chain to show what animal eats what and where the energy transfers to and from.

The arrows point form the animal to the predator because the predator gets the energy from the animal and while the predator is eating it the energy flows and transfers through its body. I enjoyed learning about food webs because I got to learn what the birds in our ngahere eat and get eaten by. I learnt that stoats eat rats and possums. Once I finished my food web I had to compare mine to theirs to see what is different about each others. 

The difference about theirs is that they have more arrows, it is in different coloured coordinated so that people know where the energy transfers to and from last but not least  The things that is different about mine is that mine has two boxes explaining what happens to the kereru if it eats to many kowhai, my arrows are just black and my arrows were just straight, theirs was diagonal, straight ect(ect means extra).

Have you learnt about food web before?

The Most Remarkable Facts about Measurement

In Te Ngahere last week we learnt about measurement and I really

enjoyed it. There was only like one or two measurements that were 

hard. It was converting and estimating. What I liked about measurement

was learning how to use a measuring tape accurately. What I didn’t like

was when you had to pull your measuring tape slowly so it doesn't go

flying back in and then it breaks. 

Have you ever used a measuring tape before?

The Scary Tsunami Evacuation

On Friday when my dad was dropping me and my sister off to school

we saw a big line so we thought that everybody was late. Then we were

about to go into school there was these wonderful people who told us that

there was a tsunami about to happen. It was very scary.

I was telling my dad come on daddy come on we have to go. I was so scared

that my older sister was like shhhhh (but then she got a little scared).

We didn’t go up the hill we went back home to tell my mum. As soon as

we told my mum we got some clothes and food, then we loaded the stuff and

went inland to my brothers house in Moerewa. When we got to my brothers

house I felt very safe because the tsunami had to get over all the hills. While my

family and I were waiting for the Tsunami to end we played some games had a

feed then a little rest and repeated that until they told us that the tsunami ended.

We waited four hours for the Tsunami to end.

Have you ever had to evacuate from a tsunami in school before or anywhere?

Incredible Learning About Ecosystems

 In Te Ngahere we have been learning about ecosystems and how they work. I made a google  drawing to explain the cycle of an ecosystem.

 What I learnt is that if something from one of the cycles went missing then the cycle would not work and most things will die. 

 All of this is new learning but when I got the hang of it, it was pretty easy.  I enjoyed learning about ecosystems. What I enjoyed the most was learning new things. What I improved on ecosystems was understanding the cycle of an ecosystem. 

What do you know about ecosystems?

The Terrific Class Trip

 On December 2 my class and I went on an end of year trip to Kerikeri. First we went to The Parrot Place, then the park to have Dominos and then the movies to watch The Secret Garden. My favourite bit at The Parrot Place was holding the birds and feeding them. My favourite bit at the Park was eating the pizzas and having a turn on the swing. My favourite bit at the movies was when the boy could walk again.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
