Measuring

 Hello

This week for maths we have been measuring heads and feet. We had to first estimate what we thought the circumference and length of each of my teams heads and feet were.  Then we had to measure everyone in our group using a piece of wool, then measure the length of the wool using a metre ruler.  We made a slide show of our  measurements. Here is a graph showing my groups feet lengths.  I hope you like it.

Plate tectonic

We did an experiment to learn about plate tectonics and how the movement of the plates help shape New Zealand. I learned that there are 3 different ways that plates can move and that these movement can cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.   Here are some photos from my experiment.

Science: Me and my DNA

This term for science we are learning all about how the human body works and how special we all are. We are also trying to learn how to think and act more like a scientist. So, Miss Fletcher asked us to look at our faces in the mirror and write down notes about what we look like. The information had to be precise and clear so that when someone read it, it would help them find the person it described quickly. It was a bit like being a detective. You had to look and notice things carefully.

Miss Fletcher said that what we look like depends on our mother and father. Making a new human is a bit like making a cake.  You get some ingredients from your mum and some from your dad. The ingredients are called DNA. Everybody’s cake is different to everyone else’s. 

Miss Fletcher said the person with the most efficient description was Andrew J as he wrote: My hair is 1cm long all over. He is the only student in Team Moana with a haircut like that so he was able to be identified very easily. You can read my description below. The sentences highlighted in blue are the ones that Miss Fletcher said were not precise and clear enough.  25 people said they could recognise me from my description.
