Beach Clean up

This week, we did a beach clean up. Our teacher said there was a prize for who ever got the most trash. She said the prize was from Japan. We had to do it in groups of three. I was with Max and Momo.

The teacher gave everyone a bucket. Once we had our groups together and buckets sorted we went to the beach. We found a plastic bag and a plastic tube sort of thing. We walked all the way to the Wainui Surf Club. Our bucket was pretty much full by the time we got there. One of my friends found a towel and somebody else found a balloon with stuff in it. We had a play there for a while then we had to go back to school.

We walked back on the pathway and we found two beer bottles. A lot of people found beer bottles. Also, on the way back, I found a nerf dart and some kind of sweater.

 When we got back to school we had to count all of the rubbish that we found. We didn't get too much but that is a good thing. 

Addition of Decimals

This week, our teacher was teaching us how to do decimals in algorithms. First, I found it hard but then - I got it! I have done a screencastify of me doing one of the equations. I think I got it right? We had to it in separate rooms around the school because it was a lot more quiet. First, you have to start at the hundredths and then you move up to the tenths and so on.

Korora Life Cycle

 This Term our inquiry topic is korora which is little blue penguins. Two weeks ago we did a penguin survey. I can't wait to see the results. I hope that there is a lot around Gisborne.

 This week I did a penguin life cycle. Here is a picture of it. I did this for my writing workshop, everyone in my group had to do it but it was fun.

Finding Fractions of a Whole number

 Last week we learnt how to find fractions of a whole number. I had to make a screencastify of me solving one of the equation.I was in the learning pit but then after a while I got out and I felt great.

Penguins survey

 Yesterday we went to douglas and moana street to deliver survey's to find out if people have seen little blue penguins. It was sort of hard but It was fun. There were three groups there was two for douglas street and one for moana rd. I went with one of the douglas groups.

So we started with at least two surveys each but I got three. Zoe didn't let me do my friends house but at least I got to do start with three. But the good thing was we all got another one so I got four overall.

Cook's Cove Walk

Cooks Cove Walk 

It was Thursday morning when we went to Cooks Cove for a very tiring walk.The teachers were sorting out the driving groups. My mum took me and a few other kids,It was about a half hour drive to Tolaga bay.Only the years six's went to the walk because we were practising for our camp.

When we arrived we got told our walking groups I was with Hunter and Te atawhai and our teacher was matua Stephan. First we went up these stairs and just that was extremely tiring. We got to the a big statue and I thought we were done but guess what it was not even a quarter of the way we still had ages to go. Next we had to go up a mountain near cooks cove,witch was quite tiring. There were some downhill bits which were nice. After the hills and stuff we got to the look out it had a good view.This is the lookout picture 

It was very tiring though. Next we went down lots of stairs which was a big relief but on the way back up thats just painful.Once we got down the stairs we got to have a brake and have some food.Then we wen't back up witch wasn't as hard as I thought when we got back to the start I sat down straight away then we headed back to school.
