How clean is the Manawatu River?

Thanks to Mrs Simmons we were able to get agar plates to test bacteria in the Manawatu River. We compared this with tap & bottled water.

Just for fun we tested our fingers and coughs for bacteria.

YUK! We were disgusted with how filthy our fingers & the Manawatu River were!!!

Areomania- Poem Presentation



These guys enjoyed using body language to interpret this poem.

Queen's Birthday?

I wonder why Queen's birthday isn't the queen's actual birthday?

Our ideas...
  • Connor thinks "may she was born at night time?"
  • Clay thinks "maybe because of the time difference?"
  • Chloe thinks "maybe so it will always be in the weekend so we don't have to miss out if we are too busy?"
  • Corey thinks " maybe because the queen wants us to have a day off?"
  • Millie thinks "maybe because it is the birthday of her relative?"
  • Donald thinks "maybe because people have a mini birthday?"
  • Nick thinks "maybe she is having a party?"
  • Peita thinks "maybe she makes up her dates so she can escape for a while?"
  • Karla thinks "perhaps different days because she is in England?"
  • Madison thinks "maybe because everyone is in a different place?"
I wonder what happens if we had a King instead of a Queen?

Explanation- Bike


Have a listen to Evie's explanation about bikes.

Bianca's kitten explanation



We have been learning how to write an explanation.

We need to:
  • Start with an introduction
  • Include a definition or brief description
  • Use paragraphs to sort ideas
  • End with a conclusion to summarises
  • Use topic specific words (technical words)
  • Explain- e.g. Parts, how it works, when it’s used
  • Use 2nd or 3rd person
  • Join ideas with conjunctions
  • Order your ideas logically
  • Use present tense
  • Use sub headings

Don't Tease


Here these guys are interpreting poetry using dance, drama & expression.

There's a wonton on my pompom



This poem is a catchy favourite for these boys. We've been working on reading with expression and using dance and drama to present poetry.
