Maths 1 geometry safari

We went on a Geometry Safari to see how many 2D and
3D shapes we could find in the playground. Here is our list of what we
found and geometry is everywhere!

Science 1 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. Twelve people said they could recognise me from my description.

Me and my DNA

I have pale skin, long dark brown and wavy hair.
I have pale pink lips and lots of red dots on my skin.
I have a little scar on my forehead. I have green eyes .

White bait fritters reading activity

This term we have been reading a book called Whitebait Fritters the author is Kingi McKinnon . The task I did was fun because we got to create an animation. We had to do six tasks. I found the learning behind the task was whitebait and feelings.
