Pest Invasion: Deer

This week in reading we read a book about wild deer. We have made a continuum to do with deer and if they are a pest or not. The conservationists want all the deer gone. We researched four groups of people and put them on the continuum to show their opinion. The hunters strongly disagree that they want them gone.I strongly disagree too!  
 

Do you want them gone? This week we have also made a google form about this to see how many people think that deer are pest. Please fill in my form.

Six thinking hats - Pests

This week in writing we have been working on animals to debate if they were pests and my group was deer. There was 6 slides we had to put detailed answers in each slides.  At the end we had to decide if we wanted the animal gone or not.

Who is that Animal Pest?

This week in reading we have been working on pests. In this activity we had to find out what the pest was by the footprints and their poo. When we found out we had to put 2 or 3 facts about the animal and a photo.This was a quick and fun activity.

Wishtree

Hello and welcome to my blog. Here is one of my reading tasks.



This term we have been reading a book called Wishtree.  We have now finished the book so this week we had to choose a task to do about it.  I chose to do this task. I made a different cover for the Wish tree book but not the one what's used on the book.  Here is my book cover design and also a summary of what the book was about.

I really enjoyed reading this book as it made us think hard about including others and being kind.  You should read it!

Legend of Poutini Map

This week in reading we have been working on this map for the Legend of Poutini. We put points that showed where he stopped on his way while fleeing with Waitaiki around Aotearoa/New Zealand. We put photos and a sentence about what happened at that place in each point. When you click on it you can see.  I enjoyed doing this activity because making maps is something different.

The Mines Afire Prediction

For this week we are beginning our study on the Brunner Mine Disaster.  As part of this we are going to be reading the novel, The Mines Afire.  Next Monday we are going to the Brunner Mine Site for a school trip so we are preparing for it. I like this topic we are working on.

What's Been on the News this Week?

The Auckland city is deciding about banning these scooters from the city forever today. They have already banned them for a week because the brakes are locking on and causing serious injuries to people.  These scooters are called lime scooters.  The scooters could break apart while you are using them.

I think that it is a good idea to ban them if it is doing what they say.  What do you think?

Reading Reflection T2W3

WALT: Use what we know to make sense of what we read.
Hello this week we have been learning about the moon. This was a fun and easy activity. Before we read the book we had to record what we already knew about the moon and words that we might see in a book about the moon.  When we had read the book we added new ideas that we learnt. My favourite part was reading the book and writing what I learnt about it.  Did you know that if you made a footprint on the moon it would stay there for millions of years because there is no wind there to blow them away?
