AREA - Week 6

We are learning about AREA in Room 12

AREA

Area is a shape with square units inside. 
Area helps builders to build homes, gardens and pools.
This is how you find area:
5 x 5 = 25 square units.




Rows mean right across.
Columns mens come on dowe
You can find area anywhere - in your house, in your back porch, to lay tiles, to get the right sized mirror for your wall.

Sage, Lola and Charlie - Week 5

I have two dogs that are called Lola and Sage. Sage is a Staffy and Lola is a labrador pit bull cross. Lola is from the SPCA. She was in a box on the side of the road with 12 other puppies.We brought Lola because our other dog Pearl died. Lola had mites .Mites are really really little bugs and they eat the skin off dogs and some times humans . She lost her fur so she was patchy but now she has grown her fur back . Lola's birthday is the 3rd of may. Sage was for sale. We brought Sage to bring Lola out of her shell. Now Lola is a big sister. Sage's birthday is October 24th.

Charlie is a cat, he is from the SPCA . He used to suckle on Hannah's blanket because he was taken away too soon . He is flufffy and cuddly, Charlie has a hammock on the window.

Match Sticks - Week 3

This is my name Ruby.  My name is one metre long. You could make it one metre long or you could you make it 20cm high. It  has to have 50 match sticks. It was  hard because my name has 4 letters and I had to make my letters bigger.

The learning in the activity was that you had to have a good starting point and a good finishing point. That you had to measure accurately and the number learning was that when we were finished we had to add how many colours there were.  I will give you a hint, say if you had 10 yellows and on the piece of paper it said that the yellow cost $10, then this is the working out: 10 x 10=100.

I was at the Dawn Parade, there was roughly 2000 people.  The four army trucks went past with two people in each army truck.  The army people marched down the road and then they turned and went towards the cenotaph.  All of the public marched behind the soldiers and they were wearing their medals. The four gun shots didn't give me a fright because you knew that they were coming.
Henrietta's sister Thea said a karakia, we had to have a silent moment to remember the soldiers that had fought for our country.  The flag went up the pole.  Three planes went past in a line, they came back around and went in a row, sometimes they had two at the front and one at the back.  At the end they said that we will remember them.  
I was feeling a bit tired, I couldn't really see Thea talking but there was a big screen.  My great grandpa was in the first world war and my other great grandpa was in the second world war.
I thought about my great grandads who died in the war to help our country.

Guinea Pigs - week one

Guinea pigs like to eat carrots, apple, parsley but the only thing they are not allowed to eat is rhubarb, they will die. Oranges and Mandarins help with their health.

Guinea pigs come in many colours, brown, black, tan and white. Some guinea pigs are long haired and some are short haired.

You can make a hutch or buy one. They like to have a clean bed or maggots will get in their bed and lay eggs. They eat the flesh of your pet.

Babies are born with fur, they have teeth and eat grass after four minutes. The mothers milk can protect the babies from mites.  

When the mother is pregnant they are fat.

This guinea pig is pregnant.

Some guinea pigs swim.

My Swimming Reflection

I learned how to…backstroke properly.

Something I found challenging was…breathing from both sides while doing free style.

At the end of the year I would like to improve on…diving in to the water.

Mrs Miller, Mr Kenny or Mrs Lowe could help me by…

nothing.

The best part about swimming was…working with the life jackets.
