Religious Education poster

Today in Religious Education I finished off my trust poster. We had to choose meaningful words that was important to us to make a little poster about. On my poster it has some people building the word "trust".On the sides it has three quotes about what trust can mean.

Information report on rhinoceros

Rhinoceros  

What is a  Rhino? I think they’re the closest thing to a real-life unicorn. Let’s read information about these fat unicorns.

Rhinos are a type of herbivore, which means they’re plant eaters. They eat fruits, stems, twigs, grass and leaves. Herbivores are a full type of vegetarian so they won't eat any form of meat.

White rhinos and black rhinos live in grasslands  and floodplains of eastern and southern Africa. Greater one-horned rhinos can be found in the swamps and rainforests of northern India and southern Nepal. Sumatran and  Javan rhinos can be found in small areas of Malaysia and Indonesian swamps and rainforests.

   

White and Black rhinos have two horns, a big tall one at the front and a small behind it. Most of the types of rhinos are grey and brown. The biggest rhino is the White rhino which is 1.7-1.9m tall, and weighs 2,300 kgs.The smallest type of rhino is a Indian rhino which is 1.6-1.8m tall but are very bulky, and weighs 2,100kgs. Rhinos have big noses and black eyes. Don’t be fooled because it doesn’t look it but the Indian rhino is very fast. Their top speed is a 55 km/h, that's faster than Usain Bolt's fastest running record!

As you can see rhinos are very intelligent  and fun maybe not fun but I hope you have learnt something from my information report about rhinoceros.

Maths Poster

This week for maths week my friend and I made an addition poster.

We made these word problems for year 3&4's to figure out.

I hope you can figure them out too.

    

Animal classification

Today we learned about how animals are classified into groups. Animals are either vertebrates (which means they have a spine) or invertebrates which don't have a spine).

Vertebrates are put into five groups. The are mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians. Mammals have fur or hair and give birth to live young.
Birds have feathers and lay hard eggs. Reptiles are cold-blooded and lay soft eggs. Amphibians breathe through their skin and need to keep their skin moist. Fish breathe through gills and have fins .

5 examples of each type:

Mammals:Cow, Horse, Bear,Dog, Human

Reptiles:snake,lizard,alligators,chameleons and a skink

Amphibians:newt,frog,toad,salamander and a caecilian.

Fish:seahorse,squid,blowfish,shark and a dolphin

Birds:eagle, rooster, ostrich, woodpecker and a peacock.

At the end of last term it was the feast day of Mary Mackillop.

We had a class room swap where we chose a buddy for the rest of the day and worked together and made some cool paintings.

Ina and the Shark slide

                                  Today me and my friend made a slide show about a myth about the Cook islands called Ina and the Shark. We made this slide because it was based on a pacific myth and decided to make a slide about it.

On the 19th of June it was Suzanne Aubert's birthday. So our class made some coloured flowers. Suzanne Aubert is now in the process of becoming a saint of New Zealand.
