The Guide To Create A Food Web

 In Te Ngahere we have been learning about food webs. Food webs show you how the energy goes from one organism to the other organism. We had to make a food web on a google drawing. First we had to gather information about what the animals eat. Then we added arrows and we changed the color of the arrows to show what animals eat what food. We put the small food in the middle first then we put the native animals and trees in. After that we then compared the differences between my food web and the teachers food web. We had to write at least 3 differences and I noticed that some of my arrows are not pointing at the right image. There were also supposed to be more arrows. I also noticed that the teachers arrows were different colors while mine were just one color. What I thought was easy was when I had to find differences between mine and the teachers one because I all I needed to do was find the differences and write them down. What I thought was hard was when I had to search for information about each animal because some websites had different information than others so it was hard to find out if it was true or not. I learnt that some animals like the kereru eat a lot more than others and that others only eat on like the kiwi.Have you created a food web before?

Why Mutualism is important

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about mutualism. Mutualism is when two organisms from different species work together. We had to make a DLO about mutualism that shows and tell what each member of the mutualistic relationship do. I learnt that a mutualistic relationship is an interaction between different species that are mostly positive. What I thought was hard was when I had to do a DLO because I didn’t really understand what mutualism was. What I thought was easy was when I needed to write about each member of the mutualistic relationship because I just needed to write what they do. Have you learnt about Mutualism before?

 

Measurement Facts That You Never Knew About

 In Te Ngahere we have been learning and doing measurement. We had to measure pens, desks, bags, erasers, rulers and more. We had to put the object’s 1.2 meters apart or whatever number it told you. The first time we tried measuring 2 pens we did it incorrectly because we did not read the instructions properly and the measurements were not accurate. When we measured the erasers we did it correctly because the first eraser started at zero and the other eraser ended at 1.6 m. What I thought was hard was trying to make sure that the measurements were correct because sometimes we did not read the instructions correctly so the measurements were not accurate. What I thought was easy was recording our measurements because all we needed to do was record it. Have you done measurement before?

Important Facts About Ecosystems That You Never Knew About

 In Te Ngahere we have been learning about ecosystems. We had to first make a copy of a doc and write what we already knew about ecosystems. Then we had to read the articles about ecosystems. After that we had to write down what we discovered and write what we now understand. Ecosystems are living things with non living things that are interacting with the systems. What I thought was hard was when I had to write what I know about ecosystems because I couldn’t remember anything about ecosystems so I just wrote “I can’t remember anything”. What I thought was easy was when I had to write what I discovered because I just needed to write facts about ecosystems that I had discovered. Have you heard about ecosystems before?

Tsunami Friday

 On Friday last week we had a tsunami drill. At First I ignored the tsunami warning on the news like it was a normal day but then my dad came over and told me that there was a tsunami. I then became terrified because of what I had seen in movies. We packed our things and drove up to the golf course on the hill. I was still scared because I had never witnessed a tsunami before. We met up with my dad’s workers and friends. We sat there talking and waiting for it to be over until we eventually went to eat at the golf club. At this point I started to calm down because it wasn’t like what I thought was gonna happen. After a while we finished and went back to our car and sat there until we were told that we could go. I was trying to sleep until someone told me that we could go home. I was relieved because I was just about to fall asleep and I was very bored. I woke up my dad and we went home. Where were you when it happened?

The Art Of Roy Lichtenstein

 In Te Ngahere at Paihia School we have been learning about the artist called Roy Lichtenstein and will be making pop art like he did. Roy Lichtenstein is a pop artist that makes paintings using Ben Day Dots. Roy Lichtenstein used not a lot of colours like other artist at the time did. Roy Lichtenstein made paintings and art of popular things at the time like comics and playing cards. Before he became an artist he began as a Abstract Expressionist painter. The technique I think we’re going to be using for the artwork is the dot technique that he also used. Have you heard about Roy Lichtenstein before?

The Importance of Kawa of Care

 In Te Ngahere at Paihia School we have been learning the rules of the Kawa of Care because some people last year did not look after their chromebook properly. The Kawa of Care is an agreement with students, parents and schools to ensure students take the responsibility and care for their chromebook. We have made comics, animations and more about the Kawa of Care. I decided to make an animation. What I thought was hard was when I had to choose something in the kawa of care that I don’t do to make an animation about because I do most of them. What I think I could do better next time is make sure that I use the rules of kawa of care so that my chromebook won’t be damaged.
