The truth about honesty

Recently one of my tasks in class was to do a activity on the truth of honesty. There were different scenarios and I had to write what I would do in that situation. Here was the activity. 

Limerick

 In my class we have been learning how to write limerick poems. At first I found this really challenging but then I kinda got the hang of it. In a limerick poem it has 5 lines. Line 1,2 and 5 have 7-10 syllables and line 3 and 4 should have 5-7 syllables. The first line of a limerick poem usually is "There once was a". Also in a limerick poem the first 2 lines rhyme an then the two after that need to be quite random and they need to rhyme with each other. then the last line needs to rhyme with the first line.

I te ra tuatahi

 For this activity I had to make a google slide saying some countries and we had to say I te ra tua tahi which means On the first day and we had to say that for each day but going up eg.E te ra tua tahi,E te ra tua Toru and ect. We also had to find the maori name for our countries. This was hard to explain but I hope you understand. -Enjoy!

Should we save endangered animals or is it not worth all of the money?

 This is a google slide that I have created about my opinion about saving endangered species. We had to do this with a buddy and gather two opinions I did this with Gabby. The main question for this activity was Should we save endangered animals or is it not worth all of the money? What do you think about this question and what would your answer be?

Marble run idea

 This is my Marble run plan that me and my group have created. In science we had to make a marble run that showed Gravity, Static friction and Dynamic friction. Our finished marble run didn't end up looking like our plan and it just turned out like the end of our plan. i hope you like our Marble run Plan.

 For the Last 6 weeks we have been doing interchange. And one of our interchange subjects is science with Miss Power. We have now finished doing interchange but here is one of my recent science experiments.

My Snoopy Enlargement

 A few weeks ago my class had to draw enlargements. First my teacher sent me a grid with lots of squares and we had to find a picture and place it on top of the grid. Most of my class chose cartoon characters and I did too. The character I chose was SNOOPY!!!! After placing our picture over the grid our grid got printed out and we got given a large piece of paper to draw squares 4 centimetres by 4 centimetres. Drawing on the squares was kind of a long process but once I had done that I got to start drawing Snoopy. We had to try and replicate the picture as best as we could. I enlarged my picture by a scale factor of 2. In my opinion my Snoopy came out pretty good. This task was very fun and I enjoyed it because it wasn't to hard because I picked a simple picture and character to draw.

Valerie Adams has a barbie doll made after her!

New Zealand Shot putter professional Valerie Adams has now gt a Barbie doll made after her.

The reason Valerie Adams has a barbie doll made after her is because she was chosen as New Zealand's barbie role model for 2020. 

Valerie Adams is the second woman in New Zealand to become a barbie doll!

Mattel ((The brand that makes barbies)) pick a inspiring woman each year from around the globe and this year it happened to be Valerie.

Valerie deserves to have a barbie doll made after her because she has inspired many children and adults. Also is a four-time World champion, four-time World Indoor champion, two-time Olympic, three-time Commonwealth Games champion and twice IAAF Continental Cup winner.

The Barbie doll comes with a shot put and a sports bag.

The Mattel factory head quarters is in El Segundo, California Here is a map of where it is:

Plant sketching

Last Friday I drew a few leaves of a Rimu tree. Here is the actual leaves and here is my drawing!

I also wrote a description and Identification in my book. This is what I wrote.
Description:This plant is a light green colour and it has sharp leaves that point upwards. This plant is the king of the forest and it is very common in the NZ bush.

Identification: This plant is called a Rimu and my drawing is only of a few leaves. Rimu is a large tree that grows up to 50m tall. Rimu trees grow very slowly reaching 800-900 years old. Rimu trees have very droopy leaves. The trunks of the Rimu trees are very thick and the bark is a red colour.
