Getting guinea pigs.

Squeak Squeak  as I opened the door. Tom, Jack and Sara  were holding some cute little creatures. Tom, Jack and Sara are my mum’s friend’s kid’s.

The small animal’s  were squeaking with joy I creeped over to the bright yellow cage and carefully picked up my  fluffy brown guinea pig. He was five weeks old when I got him. I put him in the box full of fresh yellow hay. Then my big brother Jared got his cute red eyed guinea pig and carefully placed him in the box. Jared’s one is gray and he has a wide strip of white on him.

20 minutes later….. we said bye to them.

Once we got home we set up the old fish tank for the guinea pigs first we put some old newspaper on the bottom and then some hay It is important to clean out their house 2-3 times a week so they don’t get sick or stinky.

Than we made a little wood house so they can cuddle up and keep warm. Then I chopped some celery and carrot and placed a bowl of water. It was set up and ready for them.

I carefully put them in the tank and then they went to bed in there house that we made it for them.


Something I found tricky was getting the information that I need to make my writing better for the reader.

Something I'm proud of getting the right information so I can tell you how I got my guinea pig's in detail

I have been working on detail in my writing so it is more interesting for the reader.

I hope you enjoyed reading my writing.

Math area task.

Something I am proud of this week is my maths area task, I worked very hard of it to complete it to my personal best.

Something that challenged me was trying to work it out because you can't use Some times tables.

Something I would change next time is getting different shapes because I used one more than once.

Martariki

In Totara hub we have been learning about Matariki. Matariki is a Maori word for a cluster of stars that raise mid winter. when you celabrate Matariki lots of people have a meal and play Maori games like string games and others. 

For Matariki I did cooking because I like cooking and its lots of fun. Totara hub had lots of fun doing Matariki I cant wait for next year. 

Something I learnt was all the different ways that I can celebrate matariki. Something I learnt about cooking was how to make, roll and fri the fri bread.

I am proud of using my manging distaction mucels to do my best
Something that challenged me was grating the cheese and carrots because it was hard to grate it when it got small.

Mould science.

Have you ever seen disgusting mould? Mould can grow in the bathroom shower or even worse on your food. Did you know that some moulds are good like lemon mould is one of the moulds that’s  good for you.  If you you would like to grow mould

If you want to do a fair experiment to grow mould follow my instructions .

Equipment you need:

• 3 Plastic containers with lids. /  Big zip lock bag.
• 3 Labels.
• 3 Samples of cheese, bread or a mandarin. That are the same. So you can only pick one. / NO MEAT OF FISH.
• 1 Black marker.
• Somewhere safe to store them.
• Some water to wet the sample.

Steps:   

For Testing Moisture.                                                   

1. First make sure you have everything.

2. Then use the marker to write on the labels, on one write wet sample, then on another write dry , on the last one write moist.

3. Completely wet one of the samples. Place the wet sample in the container or zip lock bag and push lid on then put the label on top. Next dip your hand into the water and sprinkle the water over the moist sample and put into the container and place the label on the container's lid , Then put the lid on. On the last one just put the dry sample in the container and place the label on top.

4. Store in a safe place.

5. Watch the mould grow over the days.

I have put an effort to into writing this. I hope you will try this your self, because it's fun to do and to see if mould grows.

Something that I found challenging was using the feedback to make changes.

Something I am proud of is my steps because I had to to get them correct so it makes sensce and you can do this amazing experiment.

Perimeter task

I have been working on perimeter, perimeter is the outside of a shape.

Something I found ticky was working out the answers to the perimeter of the shapes.

I am proud of how much efort I put into it to learn about working out perimeter.

This is some photos of my perimeter task.

                  

Name art.

For my art I choose to create a name art. To make my art I had to cut a medium shape of thin card board and paint it once that coat was dry we could paint designs over top of it. Once that was done we can make the letters, with the letters it's important to make tabs so the letters can stick onto the bottom of the base. Once I finished cutting out my letters I could choose the colours to paint my one side of the letters, after that you can draw on the other side and put it together.

The K stands for sports because I have played lots of different sports like Hockey and Soccer.
 
The first A stands for music because I can play guitar.

The Y stands for creative. I like to create a lot of different types of arts and crafts.

The L stands for how I like to make art.

The second A stands for how I like being outside. I like to do a lot of things outside, like sports.

My design of the base was because I like painting and drawing.

Something that challenged me was drawing the design because I didn't know what to draw.

I am proud of how much effort I put into making my art.
