Strawberry research

Strawberries!

In Room 2 we have been presenting some awesome strawberry research projects. At the first stage we were planning to go to Scott's Strawberry Farm. We were sorted into car groups and my dad was coming so we went in his car. We had clipboards with our question we did on our shared doc with the whole class.My group (Emelia, Bella W and me) have not shared what we did but I hope it goes well because we did a play and showed art so its like its all stuck together into a perfect presentation kind of play! 

Eva and Hettie. S did very well on the clay. Eva did a strawberry garden out of clay and it was so awesome! Hettie did a giant strawberry and I couldn't even do what they did. Their strawberry homework or inquiry were very very cool! 

That strawberry homework I would say is the best kind we have ever done! (so far!) . 

Here is my groups one!

   




      

Worm explanation data disks

Worm data disks

In room 2 we have been creating awesome data disks. Before we 

made then we had to create a worm explanation.It was going to be 

set into paragraphs. The things that we wrote were all our information we found on our worms.We once created a Ecosystem in a bottle and we could put in worms that we found from the gardens but we didn't not mess up Mr Grey or Mr Pete's garden ( hopefully!). Here is mine (I hope you like it!)

Also I bet others are really AWESOME as well!!!

     

Designing and creating our wonderful gardens

Our awesome gardens!!!

In inquiry we have just done the best awesome thing in the world,guess...........We get to create our own gardens YAY!!!

From the Yates website for getting the seeds to plant an actual thing, you didn't have to but you did have to create the garden plan it includes: Heading,measurements,pictures and information (I included people!) 

Below is my garden plan its awesome don't you think?

 

Others are great too!!

Starry Night Art

starry night art 

In room 2 we have created some amazing art based on Vincent van gogh's starry night.We used a technique called double-loading it is like mixing colors together but instead you just dip in one color and dip in another and then start painting! (sometimes I had too much of one color).After I finished my art I had to do the chalk over again so that you could see it.We didn't need to paint the house we cut them out with paper.
Here is my painting the biggest dot is the sun or moon and others are the stars.You can also see the paper houses.

My quick write -The awesome dive

Quick write story

In writing we used a photo which show a person that was about to dive into the water and it was set in Auckland because you could see the sky tower.It was a quick write so you didn't have to write a BIG AND HUGE story just like about if the person was going to be happy in the or he was sad so it was like you could control the character.Here is the photo-

My story was about the person having alone time and being free.  

I made him being a happy person and really,really wants to swim.
This is my story-
The awesome dive!  

Hiking up the trail out of breath,reaching the sunset gloom.The sun goes down to rest and the moon takes over leaving the day into the night.The water changes.The moonlight reflects like a torch in the ocean.''Ahh, Auckland is the best place to relax,'' I sighed. All alone I was feeling pleased with myself just being with no one else except….me.The day grew dark and cold but I didn't care.

I looked at the sky tower then I started looking below the dark blue sea,seeing white strikes through the place of nowhere. I can feel it. Sliding across the wharf were my feet leading me into the air. My hands curved like a dolphin fin,ready to spike out the water stopping me from going fast though it.I leaned and…….WHOOSH! I zoom into the water like a gannet catching its prey. Soaking wet I go out and do it again and again and again until I get out of breath.

I jump out and finally lay down on the grass counting the stars and making shapes from them.

I think about what I will do tomorrow. Its very hard to think what I could do. Then suddenly I have an idea.I will do what I did yesterday,Brilliant!That was still such an easy idea. Oh well I just love swimming!

My Writing: The Game

My Writing

In writing we started using inspiration from a poem called ''foul shot'' it was based on sport.You could chose any sport and show not tell. Mrs Cameron said to use strong action verbs,capital letters on a new line each sentence and necessary words.Here is mine I used mostly some of what Mrs Cameron said.

The game.

In center ready to continue game,

as running spots the time 3-0 on scoreboard.

Rubbing hands together to get grip on the ball.

Running to get the pass,

Stamp my foot on the floor

Into position

Aiming at the hoop.

Getting eyes at the net

Looking a little bit up,

Lifting the ball to meet.                             

Brain fizzing

Wanting to get one more point

Just as I'm ready,

Stumbles,  

Crowd gasps

The ball slips.

Just getting my hands back on the ball.

Foot stuck in mud

Swirls into place

doing It over again,

Lifting feet into the air.    

The ball

Rolls,

Leans,

Balances,

Stops

And then    

And then………….

Numbers change to 4-0.
