Water Project

What I have learned about the water project is that they store water help the community to grow in everything and make kids have better education. There are more people in Africa that die more then all of the people that died in wars combined. There goal is to stop poverty and make sure anyone can not die. What they have achieved is that they made more improvement to Africa so no more poverty.

Fight for fair

It very not fair because girls are just the same as boys. It is not fair that they play and get less money then they should. In sports this does not happen but the rugby boys for NZ gets more money then the NZ women's rugby team. It definitely not fair. Both teams should get the same amount and just because they are girls doesn't mean they can't do what boys can. Girls can also do stuff that boys can't.

BFG character description

The BFG stands for Big Friendly Giant. He is a giant but not mean. He is very nice but not really good in speaking. When he speaks he does not make sense at all. People might think that giant are mean and ruthless but they are mostly just helpless lost people. He is very magical and very kind. He protects human from other giants to keep them safe. When you first meet The BFG you would yell he would just be more afraid then you are of him.

Donut conversation

On wednesday the 16th we did a warmup for writing. before we did writing we did the roll.  And did our job.Miss Ashley explained “one buddy goes in the middle , and the other buddy one the outside so it makes a donut shape.” Then she gave us little pieces of  paper with questions on them.


“Cedric asked, '' Would you rather eat ice cream or chocolate cake” 
“I said chocolate cake because it's made out of chocolate. Then she told us to move on to the left so we could have new buddies  to ask questions.

Helenaih asked me “ would  you rather be a doctor of a police” lol lol lol
“Then I said I would be a police so I could stop crime”. But when Miss Ashley answered she Replied’’ So I could touch gut and stuff” Because she loves it.

Then we rotated so we had new questions. Then Someone asked me” if you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go”.
“ I would go to Africa or Tonga.
But then Miss Said next but we already had the buddy. So we were already done.

Pictionary

On Thursday in the morning Room7 had a game called Pictionary drawing. We had to get into three groups.

Then after we had got into three groups she told us the rules. She said “no talking or making the word”, “no writing letters or words and no hand gestures except rolling hands”. This is similar to charades but instead of acting we have to draw it. Our whole group was so eager to start. In my group I had Maria,Ana,Me,Dyzon,Tsai and Tisharn. We had names for our groups. Our groups name was Flash lighting. We had to write on a teacher station.

After a few minutes later Miss Ashley shouted “3 2 1”!. Then we all started drawing The first object. The first object that we had to draw was a basketball then a Teddy bear then we won that so we to a point. The last one was that we had to guess a scuba diver. Some of us were apprehensive and impatient.

We were all competitive. We all rushed to see the points and we were the winners the flash lightning group.

It was very exciting playing this game but we were nervous and competitive at the same time.

feeling

Today in Room 7 did roll plays about feelings. We did lots of sometimes our play was so so funny. We only did four plays. By the time we were finish it was 10:42. The feelings that we did were terrified,excited,happy, and (hoha) annoyed.

Narrative writing plan

By wesley and cedric 

Once upon a time there lived a little but hard bullet ant, A strong and fearless gorilla and also a bad and cheeky leopard.

In the wonderful big rainforest  where there is lots of cool and strong protectors that protect the forest from the evil and vicious leopard. The leopard was so bad that he wanted to eat all of the animals in the rainforest.

Then one morning when the moon was up and the sun was down the vicious leopard climbed the trees and  broke into the rainforest and tried to kill all of the animals that had lots of meat inside of them. He scratched all of the skinny and fat also juicy animals on their faces.

But then the protectors of the forest came and killed the vicious leopard they used their mighty power to cut through the leopards flesh. Then the leopard scratches the gorillas abs. Then the gorilla used his muscles to punch him to the African plains.

Then they all went out to eat muscles.

New words from reading
 Tuesday 23rd July 2019

Big idea: within each kingdom there are more different groups that classify animals.

Prokaryotes - a name of a kingdom
Etc means etcetera
Interbreed - when two different animals have babies together

Mnemonics help us remember hard things, for example NEVER EAT SOGGY WEETBIX helps us remember North East South West.

This is the mnemonic i learnt to help me remember the order:
Keep pounds clean of fish get sick

Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order

Animal kingdom

New words from animal kingdom reading
Monday’s reading

Organism - a living thing
Vertebrate - has a spine
Invertebrate - has no spine
Taxonomy - a way to group things
Diverse - a big range
Amphibians -
Heterotrophic - means they must find and eat food
Primates (apes, monkeys)
Rodents (rats, squirrels)
Cetaceans (dolphins, whales)
Marsupials (kangaroos, koalas)
Monotremes (egg laying mammals like the platypus)
Autotrophic - make their own food by photosynthesis
Photosynthesis - how plants make their own food
Vascular - uses roots to absorb water
Nonvascular - uses the whole plant to absorb water
Decompose, decomposition - to break down
Non-flowering - no flowers
Thermophiles - (root word is thermo which is about temperature)

Big ideas from the reading
All living things are called organisms.
They are organised into 6 groups called kingdoms. Each group has certain characteristics that each organism must have.
Animals
Can move on their own
Are heterotrophic (can’t make their own food)
Must eat to survive
Vertebrates and invertebrates
Plants
They are Autotrophic (they make their own food)
Some are vascular and nonvascular.
If a plant has seeds or fruit, it is a flowering plant.
Eubacteria
Are made up of just one cell. They are everywhere. Some bacteria are good and some are bad.
Bacteria called decomposers break down dead plants and anacteria.
Archaebacteria
Can survive where no other organism can live.
Thermophiles, methanogens and halophiles
Fungi
Say it fun guy
Mushrooms are a fungi
They are heterotrophic (can’a make their own food)
Use enzymes to break down food

Protista
Are related to either plants, animals or fungi (one of them, not related to all of them at the same time)

Brainstorm and plan. 

Structure	Topic	Words and ideas to use
Introduction
Paragraph 2	Early life	May 21, 1799 Lightning Dad Poor - sell stuff Mary anning born in 1799 nearly died from lightning but it was a miracle. Her dad taught her how to find fossils. Her family was poor so she sold fossils and seashells.
Paragraph 3	Discovering fossils	Curios Lyme Regis Skull of a crocodile - brother - 12 years old Extinction was a new idea 1812 - ichthyosaur  1824 - plesiosaur Georges  Curious was the name that she called the fossils that she found. She lived in Lyme Regis. And when she was 12 years old her brother took her to a cliffside. She an ichthyosaur in 1912 and found a plesiosaur in 1824 and she had a palaeontologists that believed her after she had proof.
Paragraph 4	Later	1847 died of cancer  In 1847 she died of cancer.
Conclusion		We will always remember her.

Dinosaur knowledge

Prior Knowledge	In 2 weeks, we learnt that...
Animal Predator Dino is the root word ‘Saurs’ means something Species  Extinct  Huge Large bones Long necks Eggs  Sharp teeth Long tails Eat people Different kinds Spikes Horns Mammals 4 legs	Bipedal means 2 feet and quadruped means 4 feet. Some dinosaurs are bipedal and some are quadrupeds. Some can change between the two stances. They are sturdy. Theropod is a 3 clawed dinosaurs Dinosaurs are warm-blooded, which means their blood temperature is always the same Carnivore means a meat eater Herbivore means a plant eater Omnivore means it can eat plants and meat Some dinosaurs are huge and some are small. Typically, huge dinosaurs were sluggish (slow).  Dinosaurs died out 66 million years ago. They started existed 230 million years.  They died because of an extinction event, most people think this was because a meteor hit the Earth.  Dinosaurs legs go out the bottom of their hip bones, whereas reptiles bones go to the side of their hips. Reptiles do not have an extra hole in their skull, but dinosaurs do.  Mary Anning found lots of fossils on a cliffside in England in the 19th century. She was born in 1799 and died in 1847. She survived a lightning strike as a baby. In 1824 she found the first fossil.	Non-avian dinosaurs are dinosaurs that are not birds. Avian means birds. Metabolism means how fast or slow your body converts food into energy Diverse means a big range Modifications means changes. Dinosaurs have modifications such as spikes, armour, horns or crests.  Clade means family. Lineage means ancestors/descendants  Paleontologists are scientists that study ancient things including dinosaurs There are 4 main groups of dinosaurs; theropods, sauropods, ankylosaurus and pterosaurs. Titanoboa was top of the food chain after the dinosaurs died. It killed people by constricting people. It spent most of its time in the water because it was super heavy. It was 13m long, as big as a bus.  Hominins existed when 7-6 million years ago, the first humans to walk on 2 feet.  People did not exist when dinosaurs existed.	Adaptation is something that changes over time.  Ecology - how animals relate to each other Fossils are made when dinosaurs die and their bones get trapped in rock or mud. The bones break down over time but leave a mould, which is filled with rock. This becomes the fossil.  Dinosaurs sometimes eat each other.  There were 3 periods of time that have dinosaurs. This is called the ‘age of dinosaurs’ also known as the ‘Mesozoic Era’; Triassic period, Jurassic period, and Cretasous period.  Then there were 3 more periods in time, “Age of mammals”, also known as ‘Cenozoic Era’; Paleogene Period, Neogene period and  Quaternary period. Dinosaur fossils have been found on every continent, including Antarctica. Joan Wiffen found the first dinosaur fossil (a theropods tailbone) in NZ in 1975, in Hawkes Bay. She died in 2009.  Dinosaurs laid eggs and they lived in family groups.
