Fibonacci

Kia Ora Bloggers, This week in Te Ngahere we have been learning
about Fibonacci (The Sequence of Numbers). We had to use the
numbers we had to make a nautilus shell. Here is a rough  
example of a completed version. I will post my good version
next week.

What I did well was I was listening when Mr Lindsay was
explaining it to us but I did not pay close attention when
it came to the cutting out.

Here is an example of the sequence of numbers

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34

Nukutawhiti

Kia Ora Bloggers, In Te Ngahere we have been learning about 4 explorers called Kupe,
Nukutawhiti, James Cook & Abel Tasman. My group chose to learn about Nukutawhiti.
We found out the Nukutawhiti was the captain of the Ngatokimatawhaorua
waka and the grandson of Kupe. Here is my DLO

I think I did really well when explaining what happened with Kupe and Nukutawhiti’s
waka and maybe next time i could add more info.

Wing

Kia Ora Bloggers!! In Te Ngahere we have been learning to write a moment in time.
We had to write about 1 clip in a video called wing. Here is my piece of writing so far.

What I think I did well was how I used good language like Ragged & zooms but I think
I can try and put them in the right place next time.

Soaring through the sky were three terrifying examples of plague doctors because of
their long beaks and black cloak like body’s. These creatures looked like the kind of
animal that sprung on their victims without hesitating. As they were gliding through the
sky they see a skinny little boy with a giant head playing a beautiful melody on a tiny little flute.
They swoop down and the largest one picks him up by his little ragged wing and throws him
to the floor.

The others crowd around the little flute and examine its majestic carve work.
One of them picks it up and has a good shot at playing it while the boy covers
his ears. He runs around a tree while the giant thing throws down the flute.
He looks around the side of the tree to see them lifting off. He zooms from his
hiding place, picks up his flute and then runs back into the woods towards his
house.

Also here is the link to the video

Sea Cleaners

On Tuesday the 12th of March a lady named Tracy came in to talk to us about the pollution in the
ocean. She started talking to us about the Pacific Garbage Patch, She said she didn’t know how
deep it was but she knew that it was twice the size of Texas, I found out that it is actually 9 feet d
eep. She said that the most garbage they found was 5.6 million litres of rubbish, crazy right! It’s
amazing how much rubbish goes to landfill and how much goes to sea. Tracy told us that there
is lots of sea life swimming around in the garbage patch and I discovered that most of the rubbish
that goes in the ocean ends up in that patch because it is where the oceans meet so there would
be a current from each way.

Now that I have found out that this is such a big problem

Anzac Bikkies

Kia ora Bloggers! In Te Ngahere we have been learning about ANZAC Biscuit problems.
We had to make a DLO about it, Here is mine.

When I was making the DLO I didn’t know what to write or how to write it and I did not ask
for help so next time I will ask for help.
I thought I did well when I was collaborating with my group.

Hope you enjoy the presentation.
