Have you seen a seed growing?
In math, we created a pyramid out of iron balls.
We put fluffy sand as a base to make it stable.

In reading, we read a text about the native marine mammals that live in New Zealand.
We wrote a fact sheet about the animal in the text.
I did a fact sheet about the Orcas.
Here is my fact sheet.
Orca fact sheet
Orcas live all around New Zealand's coastline but they like to live in cool water (or a deep place). Orcas can be found all around the world, and they are a most spread out mammal apart from humans.Orcas have black and white with large paddle- shaped fins. Groups of Orcas are called pods.Female Orcas can live up to 90 years and male Orcas can live up to 60 years.Female Orcas size is 6m and male Orcas size is 9m. The Female weight is 3.6 tons and males are 5.5. tons. The female's dorsal fin is slightly curved and up to 0.9 metres tall and the males are straight up and up to 1.8 meters tall.Orcas are at the top of the food web as there are no animals that eat them. Orcas can swim as far as 150 km a day.
Today we made a boat out of branches, leaves and ropes. (They are all eco-friendly)
These are the photos that show how we made it.
In math, we are learning about odd and even.
I did a addition of adding 2 odd numbers and adding 2 even numbers with Lego.
7+7=14=even
If you add 2 odd numbers it turns even and if you add 2 even numbers it turns even too!
What 2 odd numbers will you add and what 2 even numbers will you add?
In writing, we did our character description draft.
Here is my character description draft.
Super Staggy
Staggy is like a superhero of the dinosaurs and the people.
Staggy saves space from bad things.
Staggys appearance
Staggy is not really a normal stegosaurus.
He is smaller than the other stegosaurus but he is braver and stronger than the others.
Like the other stegosaurus do, he has spikes on its tail and a pentagon shape on his back.
He wears an astronaut helmet and an astronaut suit ( because he is an astronaut who is a dinosaur).
Staggy´s behaviour
Staggy is a bit special because he is a dinosaur-astronaut!
His job is to save Earth and other planets from asteroids and other things that harm the planets.
He cares about the environment, plants and people on earth.
He also helps people who are in danger and who need help.
Sometimes he fights bad guys and sometimes he even heals people who are hurt and sad.
Staggy´s dislikes and likes
As I said before Staggy is a vegetarian, he loves vegetables more than any foods!
This is the opposite. He hates meat so much that he promised to never ever eat meat.
This is about his favourite planet in the solar system.
His favourite planets are Earth and Saturn.
He likes Earth because it is his home and Staggy likes Saturn because it looks really cool and amazing.
And of course his friends and family.
Staggy is a friend of all people and he is even a friend of yours (and mine)!

In reading we read a explanation about honeybees and how they make honeys.
We wrote a explanation about how bees make honey.
This is my explanation.
How does bees make honey
Flowers and crops have nectar and pollen which bees and other insects love to eat.
Bees collect the nectar and pollen from the flowers and the crops and store them in
their stomach. After that they return to their hive.
They turn that nectar into different parts of sugar like Glucose and Fructose.
When the worker honey bee returns to the hive,
they vomit the nectar into a processor honey bee's mouth and they continue doing this.
After filling their stomach into a simple sugar they finally vomit into the honeycomb.
But to get rid of the most water, the bees flap their wings which drys the water but leaves the honey.
Was there any more facts about how bees make honey?
In RE, we made a poster.
