Bald Eagle Reading Work

This week, my reading group have been learning about the Bald Eagle. I learnt that the Bald eagle sometimes eats foxes and even wolves! I also learned that as a Bald Eagle grows, their beak keeps curving and doesn't stop, So they occasionally have to " Chip " it until it turns back to normal. But they also have to make sure that their beak isn't too blunt, otherwise, they will have to wait till it grows back!

Also, when their wings are uneven, they pluck their feathers off the other wing to make sure that it is balanced. There are some more facts in the video somewhere in my slide, Don't forget to comment!

   

The Trip

On Wednesday we went on a trip to the eco learning space. We were split into two groups, one went in the morning and the other one went in the afternoon. when we got there I learnt how things worked in the factory. My favourite was the machine that separated aluminium from the rest of the rubbish. Do you like star wars? because If you do then you are going to really like this part! so there is a machine that makes a sound like a lightsaber because... It is! they use an infrared light to zap the aluminium and create an electric charge and pushes it on to another role-belt so that it is separated. after that, we went to the eco drop which is a place where you have to look for the signs on the wall ( or anywhere really ) and remember three of them, that was my least favourite one because that was all we did. After that, we went to the eco store ( there is a lot of eco's isn't there! ) and we were given a budget of 500 dollars  and a list to see what to put in our flat, This was my favourite one because I got a gaming console, a piano, a go-kart and a boogie board. and guess what happened on the way back?... We saw the other group ( group two ) on their way there!

My speech

My school had a speech competition last week and my speech was about why the school holidays should be twice as long. How it works: so, everyone had to write a speech ( except the year ones because they are too small so they just have to sing a nursery rhyme ) and present it to their class. The teachers had to pick a person to represent their year level, ( only three people can represent each year level).The three that were chosen had to compete with each other to see who will get first, second or third. Although I wasn't one of those people, my friend Thom was. I was really nervous when I was in the auditions because if I made it through then the whole school would be watching me, and when they were watching me and I made a mistake then I would be embarrassed, I mean who wouldn't be nervous!?

What we have been learning for maths

Hello, in Rimu class in my maths group ( the Alga-Bros ) we have been doing really hard maths, if you look at my blog and think that this stuff is easy, Me and my friend Aliz'e are the only year fives in the group, the rest of them are year sixes and sevens, we are doing equations like: if 2 (g + 2 ) = 14
then what does g = ? ( g = 5 )

thank you

My reflection

1. What I am proud of this term: I am proud that I managed to actually finish my writing eastle.
I managed to get more than 250 ( I got about 286 or something )

2. What’s worked well: I think that Actually listening on the mat has worked well because
sometimes I normally don’t know what to do.

3. How have I shown my YMS hero Qualities? : I took part in the pack up this time.

4. Are there some things that haven’t gone well for me? : Probably being on the
wrong thing at the wrong time, for example I am always playing nitro type.

5. What challenged me and how did I work through the challenge? :  My challenge
was the eastle maths test, and I made it through because I tried my best

6. What will be my focus for next term:   It will Be to listen some more
and to be on the right thing at the right time
( Obviously, that means no more nitro type ) and not to talk to my friends
when it is time to be on the mat or even when I am doing my work because I
might get distracted and be behind the whole class ( I said that because it has
happened before, and if you don’t believe me then I am just
telling you that I have done it before  )
