Enviro hunt

We were talking about what we would see in the enviro medal that is in our school. We looked at some stuff, like what to look out for and what makes us an enviro medal.

We went to see what kind of gardens we would see. We looked at the Migrant Mother’s gardens and we saw the water tank, that a class long ago put there. It watered the plants for them. We looked for little insects.

We went down to the Redwood tree that is the oldest tree in the school. I wonder how long it has been there. It looked like our boss of our school. We hear a lot of cars going past our school and I think it scares the birds away sometimes.

We also went to look for a weta house and there was cockroaches inside it. We had to go through some evil prickles to get through. It was so smelly, it smelled like a dead rat, it did not smell good.

We looked at some plants like the plain tree. We all walked through the new path to go to the gardens. We looked at the glasshouse and the new seats inside the gardens.

We went up to the Totara tree and looked for the bat house. We also saw the blackbirds in the Totara tree.

We walked past the Kauri tree and the Kowhai tree. We all felt tired after that big walk.

Our puppy-Gus

On Friday Ava and I got a puppy called Gus.            

He is a Staffy x Mastiff. Gus is very playful and likes to nibble on anything he can get his paws onto. He loves all the attention that he gets.

            He is the most lovable dog in the world                        (but he likes to nibble hands and knees)

(but he farts a lot and they stink!!!)

Moment in time writing

Science about water

P.1    We were running down the hill as if we were elephants running away from something. 

We lined up by the gate and waited to go to the pool.

P.2    We entered the pool as people were pushing and shoving to get a spot around the pool and hoping not to fall in.

I saw millions of mosquito babies swimming in the really swampy end.

P.3    We had three jars and we carefully lowered them down. 

We got different results from each end of the pool and one of the jars had baby mosqitos. 

Here are the photos 

P.4     People thought that the little mosquito babies were tadpoles.

I was thinking if there were any frogs or things like that.

The End

Collecting soil for science

Today we did anther moment in time writing and this is my story

Off on a hunt for wet dark grit. we scrambled down the path of leaves beside the hall and tip-toed into the garden. then we went to room 1's garden and last the courts.the dirt tipped onto the floor of the class-room. the floor wasn't its usual colour any more it was completely BLACK.

The end 

clouds

Today we were writing things about a moment in time and it was about the clouds and we were not allowed to say the word clouds heres my story. enjoy



I was gazing up at the fluffy white shapes.
It looks like Cotten Candy but only white.
I was lying on the soft grass.
Seeing all the shapes in the sky was incredible.
I wish iI could have tried to eat some of it.
It might have tasted like whipped cream.
Pouffy animals slowly move in the cool summer breeze.
I thought of many different things to turn the Whipped Cream into.
The cars made all sorts of noises.


And there you go. my story

Hope you enjoyed
