His light goes out so he lights his lantern “dang” He said.  the Lighthouse light goes out so he goes up the stairs, Gets his toolbox and pulls off the Huge bulb.  At this moment there was a huge boat coming his way “ shoot” Says the man . He trips over the toolbox and He hears a massive Smash. It was the light bulb Smashing on the ground. “Oh no” says the man. He goes down the stairs And makes the people get their lanterns.

Everyone goes up the mountain and Lights their lanterns. It guides the boat away So it doesn't Smash into the light house. “YAY” the people say “WE DID IT.” “Phew” The man says. That was lucky.

Dont let the pigeon have a bath

This week we red a about book about dont let the pigeon have a bath and i wrote an opinion For why they dont need baths

тнε ριgεση dσsεηт ηεεd α вαтн

I think the pigeon shouldn't  need a bath.

The reason is because they are birds and they don't need baths. They live outside and they don't need them because he will get dirty again.

Also he will just continue to moan because he hates baths. He is too lazy to hop in so he shouldn't and some pigeons live near the water so they can just go in there.

I can't be bothered for the moaning so i will not give the pigeon a bath.

I can hear people cheering and chattering about Te Manu Tukutuku.

I can see people playing basket ball and having tons of fun.

The smell of the new school smells like the scent of the refreshing air.

The walls feel like I am touching clouds and the furniture feels like foam and lots of pillows.

This is a very nice and amazingly and awesome School called Te Manu Tukutuku.

Well done Mr Moriarty and his crew!

Weather

WALT: To write an information reports with the correct structure and language features

This week in writing we have been learning about weather ans how warm heat rises an carries the most moisture and cold air goes down and carries hardly any moisture.

Weather

“Dang this is annoying… the sun is too hot on my body.

Weather Is a unexpected thing that changes minute by minute.

The weather at the moment is really hot and the sun is up really high and there are no clouds anywhere to be seen. This is a really hot day and the sun gets really hot.

Tornadoes are Really fast spinning clouts that pick up anything to be seen. They are really strong and have lots of power.

A storm is an uproar that has lots of different weathers into such as rain, lightning and thunder. They are all called a storm when they are together.

The difference between a cyclone and a hurricane is that a cyclone spins right and a hurricane goes left.

This storm is really cold and i need to go inside and take a picture. I LOVE STORMS!!

Expanding balloons

This week we had to do a science experiment with the heat and air. we put a bottle in hot water and it made the hot air go in and make the balloon blow up because heat rises and makes the balloon blow up. i thought that the balloon would blow up from the heat rising into the balloon and it really happened .

Antarctica information report

Weather and climate information report

Antarctica is the windiest , driest and coldest continent in the world. as it is on the bottom of the world is has extremely cold weather

Over the last few weeks,during literacy, we have been learning about Antarctica. We visited the antarctic center and read lots of information about Antarctica. i wrote a description/information report about Antarctica using the correct structure and language features. i also researched about  climate and weather and produced a information report

When the world tilts and he south pole is facing towards the sun and when it turns  to the north pole and it goes away from the sun so Antarctica is only seen on one side. the hottest Antarctica has ever been in 18.5°C and the coldest is -89.2°C. storms can go on for several days, even weeks. when the storm is really bad the penguins huddle to keep each other warm. to be an iceberg it must be 5 meters across if any smaller its known as a growler.





I would love to go to Antarctica because i like the cold but it will be too cold for me.

Growth mindset

During power time we have been learning about a growth mindset. we watched a short video about Luke sky walker  and Yoda lifting an x-wing out of the lake. Luke had a fixed mindset. A fixed mindset is where you say you cant do it and it is too hard. Yoda taught him how to have a growth mindset. a growth mindset is where you say you've got this and i can do this. We talked what we could say to ourselves to change from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset. Here is my DLO
