We are learning to problem solve as a group.
We made a chair  out of paper and tape it had to be 10 cm tall and hold a stuffed toy.
My group completed the task.
My groups next step is to make it more stable.
Have you tried to make something out of paper?

Writing A Explanation

We have been learning to write an explanation about animal life cycles.

We had to make a google docs about Frog,pandas and Tuataras. In the explanation we had a title,introduction, subtitles,factual information,technical language.

The writing went well for me.

My next step is to add more pictures.

Do you know anything about animals?

Here my doc.

Tuatara

A Tuatara has been around since the dinosaurs and is still around! If  you want to know some things you didn't know keep on reading.

The Egg 

The Female starts the life cycle by laying 10-19 eggs in a deep burrow underground.

The egg stay underground and develop for 12-15 months before hatching! {That's a year or more!} The eggs are soft and leathery.If the eggs are warm it's a girl if it's cold it's a boy.

The Hatchling

Once hatchlings come out there left to defend themselves.The hatchlings have three eyes the hatchlings are about 12-15 cm long {Adult Tuataras are about $50  -60 cm long that ́s like 2x the size of when they were born!}

The Juvenile

The Juvenile is like a teenager and it ́s third eye get ́s covered by scale,Juvenile tuataras hunt during the day they hunt because during the night the Adult Tuataras hunt and adult Tuataras sometimes eat the Juvenile.The 

The Adult 

The adult Tuataras have babies every 3-4 years.It has survived for almost 200 million years!{That is so much years and days}They mate and have babies after 15 years.Tuataras shed their outer layer every year.{shed their skin}

Those are the stages of their life and I hope you learnt something new.

Stem Reflection 29/11/19

We are learning to problem solve as a team.
Today we built a bridge of of popsicle sticks,rubber bands and cellotape to build the bridge.
The bridge held two books and we succeeded.
Our next step is to not get distracted.
Would you have used popisicle sticks to make it?

Stem Challenge for Week 6

Walt work to problem solve.

Planning went well for us.

When our tunnel broke for the marble we had to fix it.

Next step is to to get more height.

If you were to do a tunnel what construction would you use?

Saving Sand Dunes

 Saving Sand dunes 

We are learning to help and care for the sand dunes.Sand dunes help us by protecting us from strong winds and huge waves,sand dunes also contain animals like skink,Sand hoppers.Sand dunes are made for rock or sand from the sea,the life cycle is like this.The water makes a cloud it go´s over the southern elps and comes down the mountin,also some rock go with the water back to the beach and when it reachs the ocean the rock will make sand,and that will happen over and over again.

All Saints Day

 In room 4 we have been learning about All saints day,we have made a poster or a  google drawing
Enjoy My presentation.

Making Wooden Boats

On Friday the first week of term 4 in 2019 we were trying to make a boat out of sticks and try make it float.Most of ours floated on the water.The hard part was getting the sticks we had to go outside in the rain and the sticks were all soggy and wet.The easy part was making the boat.When it was time to see if the boat would float we remembered that the stick weren´t soggy any more.
