Pest Trap!

Pest Trap!

All the kids in our class were assigned to make a Pest Trap.

We had 3 weeks to research, and create a pest trap that was simple and easy to trap pests, such as mice.

I made a glass bowl mouse trap. It is pretty easy to make, and easy to set up. 

I made my trap by following this video. Check it out and try it yourself!

Here are some photos of my trap:

Are all bullies big?

Are all bullies big?

Our class needed to create a poster about bullies and how to stop them.
We gathered our information from this website:
https://wonderopolis.org/wonder/are-all-bullies-big
We also gathered some information from videos on Youtube.

This is my poster that I created.

I hope you also read the text and learn something too.

3D Birds!

Conservation Week 2017!

For Conservation Week, our class had different tasks to do.

One of the tasks was making a 3D Bird.

I created a Fairy Tern!

This is how I did it.

1. Print a bird of your choice.

2. Glue the bird on to a piece of card.

3. Cut around the bird and the wings. Do not cut the dotted lines!

4. Fold along the dotted lines.

5. Cut the white lines to slot the wings into the bird.

6. If you printed in black and white, colour it!

7. Enjoy! 

If followed the instructions, your bird would look somewhat like this.

Book Review: The Cry of the Taniwha

Our class for the past terms had read a book called 'The Cry of the Taniwha'
Just a few weeks ago, we finished reading the book. We needed to create a book review about it.
This is my book review.

Maria Day!

Maria Day!
Today was Maria Day! We wore red to represent our house group, Maria. 
And brought our Mums to school to represent Our Lady, Mary.
We started off the day with celebrating a mass. Today's mass was about the Assumption of Mary.
After the mass, our priest ran a quiz about Mary, and gave out prizes to the people who got them right. :)
I answered a question correctly, and got a cool looking t-shirt! :)
After the quiz, we split up in house groups, Chanel, McAuley, Marcellin, and Maria.
The Mums got snacks and treats, while the kids sat down and coloured. 
I was colouring with my friends, and out of no where, the bell rang! It was already Morning Tea!
The Mums had a cup of tea, and went back. 
Best Maria Day ever!

My Special Thing!

My Special Thing!
I wanted to share my special item which holds an important place in my heart.
It is a Mary Sculpture, and I got it when my baby brother was born, from a man in my old parish.
I was 6 when I got it, so it is in pretty good condition, considering how old it is.
Here is a picture I took of the sculpture.

Contracts!

Contracts!

At our school we have a system for our learning.

It is called contracts. 

This system is awesome, and it helps me learn.

This system allows you to choose what learning you want to do next, and gives you the thrill of ticking activities off! :)

There are must do's, which you NEED to do, and can do's, which are extras for experts.

I love this system and I hope it never changes. ❤❤

Learning Websites!

Learning Websites!

Learning websites can be fun, but put your learning and book work before it.

But when you are done, the fun begins! :)

Here are a variety of websites to try, have fun, and learn at the same time! :)

These are websites that I personally use.

Blogging!

Blogging

Today we learnt about cyber safety and the good things about using a blog.

• Blogging is useful for sharing your learning with other people. 
• Not just your parents, friends, and teachers, the WHOLE world! 
• Blogging can also be pretty fun! :)
• Blogging can increase the confidence of the person for sharing their learning online, but even in the real world! Which is really helpful for your social life, later on in your life. 
• But private and sensitive information is bad when you post it on your blog because they could affect your life, in a bad way.
