Maths Poster

This is the maths poster that my friend Nathaniel and I made together. It is all about addition so instead of just simply giving you math questions straight, we used some vocabulary and we made some rather challenging math questions to give the students in Room 8 a nice challenge for their minds.
I enjoyed this because I taught myself some new things about addition vocabulary.

Mary Mackillop

This is the painting I created by myself for the feast of St Mary Mackillop. She is the founder of our school and a person who will be remembered in the history of Good Shepherd . She was born on the 15th of January 1842 and she lived a happy long life. Sadly she passed away on the 8th of August 1909 in North Sydney Australia. From just this simple painting I learned so much about her and her life. She was really an amazing woman. R.I.P Mary Mackillop.

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'.
