Be grateful

Iron ball Pyramid

 In math, we created a pyramid out of iron balls. 

We put fluffy sand as a base to make it stable. 

Answer : The bottom layer has 10 iron balls

                The second layer has 6 iron balls

                The third layer has 3 iron balls

                 The top layer has 1 iron ball

                 The total of balls we used were 20 balls.  






If we put one more layer on the bottom, how many extra iron balls do we need? 


Beatitude poster

 In Re, we watch a video that explains the meaning of  beatitude.

After that, we made a poster that shows the beatitudes and some pictures to show what it means.

 Here is my poster.












Here is the video that I watched.




What  pictures would you add into your poster?


Orca fact sheet

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.

Odd and even

  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.





8+8=16=even

                          



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?
