For writing we have been doing a Caption. A Caption is a short piece of descriptive text that accompanies a visual element, like a photograph, figure, or illustration, to provide context.

The source of our picture was from our teacher Mr Gray, the photo was a picture of his lambs and chickens.

This task was fun because I got to create a caption, and I also learnt, well maybe learnt that chickens are descendants of T-Rex, ( but this information was from my friend Beau, not me.)

Here is a picture of my Caption,

Do you know any other dinosaur facts?

For the past term we have been doing inquiry, for inquiry we have been learning about habitats. A habitat is a place where animals live, habitats can be different for all types of animals. The animal I have been learning about is the BEAVER. A beaver is an animal which builds its house in a freshwater lake,river or pond.

For inquiry we had to make a poster about our animal, in the poster we needed their Diet, Predators and facts about their environment which they built their shelter.

Here is some information about my poster,                                                                                                             1.Beavers teeth are naturally orange

2.Beavers slap there tale on water when they see danger

3.Beavers build their habitats in freshwater environments like rivers, lakes and ponds

4.Beavers predators are Bears, wolves, coyotes, wolverines and Lynx.

5. Half the population of beavers are in Russia

Here is a photo,

Have you ever seen a beaver?

Yesterday the whole of New Brighton Catholic got their Duffy books. We also had a visitor called Johnnie Timu. Johnie came and did some cool games like, Simon says and Pictionary. After that we got our Duffy Books. My Duffy books where Slimed and I survived the Nazi Invasion 1944.

Here are some pictures of my books,

Finally I want to thank Duffy, Avonhead Rotary and The goverment.

Have you ever had a book before?

For reading I have been learning about Moths and what role they play in their ecosystem. The moth I chose was the Rosy Maple Moth / Dryocampa rubicunda. This moth has four stages just like butterflies. Larvae, Caterpillar, Chrysalis and Moth. Also this moth has an important role in their ecosystem, they are consumers. Consumers are organisms that eat other organisms.

For this task I had to make a presentation on the Rosy Maple Moth, including their life cycle, how the rosy maple moth supports their ecosystem through their life cycle and what is a ecosystem and what do they need to survive.

Here is a link to my presentation, Rosy Maple Moth Presentation

After completing my presentation I partnered up with a kid from school called Lucas, Lucas was making a presentation about spiders and what they do for their ecosystem. We compared our presentation together and found out that a Rosy Maple Moth is a consumer just like a spider.

For Reading we have been learning about ecosystems and butterflies, we have been learning what role a butterfly has in an ecosystem. In ecosystems there are different roles like Decomposer, Consumer and Producer.

Producers, make food from inorganic matter they make sugar through photosynthesis – they use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to produce food. 

Consumers, eat producers – they are unable to make their own food and so must eat other plants and animals.

Decomposers, break down dead matter – these may be bacteria or animals that feed off dead plants and animals.

We also had to make a Critical Analysis on two websites on our choice of butterfly or moth.                                    Here is my two Critical Analysis on Rosy Maple Moths,

Have you ever learnt about Rosy Maple Moths?

For maths we have been learning about long division. Long division is a systematic step by step method for dividing large numbers by repeatedly using four core operations: divide, multiply,subtract and bring down.

Here is a question I have been learning,

Do you know how to do long division?

For writing we have been making an advertisement for our butler 3000. The butler 3000 can do all types of jobs like protecting its master, cooking food and more. It also comes with a gun and cooking supplies. The butler 3000 is also called Tyson the servant.

In this advertisement Me, Reid and Nixon will be selling our butler Tyson,                                                                  Here is the advertisement:

Have you ever seen an advertisement? Have you ever made a advertisement?

For reading we have been learning about Ecosystems. An ecosystem is made up of animals, plants and bacteria. Every ecosystem needs the same things Sun light, Producers, Consumers and Decomposers.

Here are some extra facts for ecosystems,                                                                                                                          What is an Ecosystem?

An ecosystem is an environment made for animals, it is made up of animals, plants and bacteria not literally it means that animals plants and bacteria all help to make the ecosystem.                                                                                     

What do Ecosystems require?

All ecosystems require producers, consumers, decomposers, and dead and inorganic matter. Also ecosystems require energy from the sun usually.

Producers, make food from inorganic matter they make sugar through photosynthesis – they use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to produce food.

Consumers, eat producers – they are unable to make their own food and so must eat other plants and animals. Decomposers, break down dead matter – these may be bacteria or animals that feed off dead plants and animals.                   

Do you know what Ecosystems are now after looking at my information?

For Reading we have been learning about Religions; from Christianity to Buddhism. I have been researching Judaism. Judaism is fundamentally based on the Torah, the first five books of the Hebrew Bible. For this task we had to make a poster of facts about our religion.

Here is my poster on Judaism:

Have you ever heard of the Religion Judaism?

For Reading my group Purple Grimace Unicorns teamed up with another group named KFC Chicken Nugget. We were given a book called Press B, this book was themed in the future about these people living in tents and there trying to remember the good times. But in this time books are not allowed and a kid is found with a book and taken away.

Then we had to describe the scene with 4 words, here is my work on Press B:

Have you ever read a book themed in the future?
