June Reflection.

Today I was learning how to reflect on my learning in June. I enjoyed coming up with some memorable moments my favourite is the trip to the museum. What I found challenging is explaining about matariki and the facts. My digital object shows I can screenshot my June reflection.

Financial literacy

This week we were learning about financial literacy,a man called Callum came in to our class from ASB get wise. Financial literacy is learning about money, Which I think is really cool. We had to think of a goal to save up for and mine is saving up for a nintendo,and I had to think of some ways I could earn money so I could get one. What I am going to do is washing my dad's car, making a business. I created my one with my friend and we thought of vacuuming people's carpet, and mowing people's lawns. I enjoyed creating my business because I am good at vacuuming and I love doing it. What I found challenging was to think of what I was going to do to make $300 dollars!!! I hope you enjoy.

Matariki in different countries.

This week for reading we were learning how to compare and contrast including Matariki There might be a couple slides not finished because they did not finish before thursday. I enjoyed discussing the differences and similarities with my group. What I found challenging was to explain about the orphan boys they call matariki that in the blackfoot tribe. My digital object shows that I can embed our slide.

My art

This week we were learning about Tom Fedro a chicago artist. My walt was use painting techniques,and my success criteria is long brush strokes,use both sides of the brush,use bright colours,bold lines,tints and shades to show light direction. Have I used all of those things? The girl we were painting is called it girl. I enjoyed doing the bold the because we had to use thin brushes and I love using thin brushes. What I found challenging was drawing the actual it girl and blending. Next time I would change the colours.

Math mesurments.

This week for math we started doing measurements. We had to measure a lot of things like our foot,doors,our arm span,and our wrist. We had to use measuring tape for our wrist's because rulers don't bend.  I enjoyed measuring with the metre ruler and the measuring tape because they are way more fun to use then rulers. What I found challenging was to measure my arm span with the measuring tape because we only had to people and it is easier to use with three people. My digital object shows that I can use a ruler,a meter ruler,and measuring tape. 

How do Emperor penguins survive in the cold.

This week for writing were were doing more explanation writing,I did it on penguins. I was aiming to use complex sentences in each paragraph and to use a comma in each phrase. Have I done those things? I enjoyed writing about penguins because they are my favourite Animal. What  I found challenging was to put a complex sentence in my introduction and summary. My digital object shows that I can copy my  google doc.

An Emperor penguin is a flightless bird. They swim in the arctic ocean and swim in the water that is 28.8c. They survive by breeding,raising young and eating.

Where do Emperor penguins live?

Emperor penguins live in Antarctica and sleep on their bellies. Unless it was at the zoo, you would never find a penguin somewhere else other than Antarctica.

How do penguins survive in the cold?

Penguins have thick skin and lots of blubber, trap heat inside the body keeping the Emperor penguin warm.

What is huddle time?

Emperor penguins gather close together in  big groups called huddles. Most of their body is exposed to the cold. This cuts their heat loss in half. The largest huddle ever, had about 5,000 penguins. When in a huddle,their temperature is 37 c and the air outside of the huddle is below 30c.

How many layers do penguins have?

Emperor penguins have four layers of feathers that provide protection from the cold wind. Emperor penguins have a small beak,small flippers,small legs, and small feet which means not much heat escapes. Emperor penguins body’s look larger than their head,making it look out of proportion.

Penguins may huddle together for many different reasons. This is the way Emperor penguins survive in the arctic.
