Animal classification

Today we learnt about how animals are classified into groups. Animals are either vertebrates (which means they have a spine) or invertebrates (which don't have a spine).

Invertebrates are animals like jellyfish, crabs, insects and octopus. Vertebrates are put into five groups. They are mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and amphibians. Mammals have fur or hair and give birth to live young. Birds have feathers and lay hard eggs. Reptiles are cold blooded and lay soft eggs. Amphibians breathe through their skin and need to keep their skin moist. Fish breathe through gills and have fins.



5 examples of each type:

Mammals: dog, cat, human, seal, walrus

Birds: peacock, sparrow, raven, pigeon, kiwi

Fish: gold fish, tuna, snapper, shark, sea horse

Reptiles: chameleon, crocodile, alligator, snake, turtle

Amphibians: newt, frog, toad, salamander, caecilian

Math Poster

This is my math's poster that I have worked on.
It has taken me a while to create this poster. So if you are wondering the process I had to go through to make this poster then let me tell you.
First I complete the worksheet for this subject.
Then I analyse the data and put it on a poster. From making this poster I have learnt how to add and subtract 6 digit numbers.

Science

For science we have been working on illusions.
This is a very easy illusion that you can do at home. If you are wondering what the science behind this is, it is very simple. Your eyes see a series of pictures so that tricks your brain into thinking that the fish is in the bowl . The most important thing I have learnt from this experiment is that using this tactic is how animated movies used to be made.

Matariki Star

This is my Matariki 3D star that I made. I put a lot of hard work and effort into this star. Making this star has taught me a lot about Matariki and its history. One thing I have learned about Matariki is that it is celebrated by many cultures and people.

Drama

Yesterday we did our performances for drama. We we were given scenes from Hansel and Gretel. After we acted out these scenes we created our own. Our reenacted scene was the witch being pushed into the pot. And then Hansel and Gretel b her blind. So the moral of the story is 'always rob a witch blind'. 

Book Week

All for one and one for all. We are the three musketeers. We have Jayden on the left side as Porthos, Nathaniel as Aremis and I am Athos.
So with all of us combined we are unstoppable.
Although we were not together in the treasure hunt we still all did good while split apart. As for the rest of the week it was a blast. We met famous poets, famous Authors and they shared things with us that I haven't even heard about. Needless to say I had a fun week.

Suzanne Aubert

Happy birthday Suzanne Aubert. The flower at the bottom next to the one I'm covering. That is the flower I made for you. It took a while but once I finished it was worth it.

Easter candle

This is the Easter poster my friends and I made.  It is a symbol of Easter. It also represents the alpha and omega sign (sorry it is hard to see ).We learn't that the candle is a symbol of life. All my friends and I enjoyed this project. I feel like making this poster helped me grow closer to the Lord.

Liturgical Seasons

During R.E. (Religious Education) everyone in my class including me completed a worksheet.
Our task was to draw the symbol of every season in the liturgical calendar. I learnt a lot of facts about Jesus 's birth and his death.
