Measuring heads

This week, we did measurement maths.  Mrs A had an idea about measuring heads. In our group we measured each others heads. First we got a piece of wool and then tied it around our heads. We trimmed the ends and then did an estimate of the length of wool.  Next we prepared a google slide and put all of the estimates of our heads and the real measurments on it.  Ricci-Lee had the biggest head and Ellie had the smallest head

 Here are the results:

Plate Tectonics

Kia Ora my name is Taylor Roberts. Last Friday we did a bit of science with Mrs B and Miss F.  The subject was plate tectonics.We learnt about all the different plate movements like divergent, convergent and transform and we also learned about how earthquakes formed New Zealand. Here is a Photo of our groups plate.Can you guess what we used for our magma? 

Peco Incident

Hi my name is Taylor Roberts and I go to Ohaeawai Primary School.

This term we read a book called peco incident By Des Hunt we had to do an activity based off of it I chose to make a book cover on a google draw                                                                     

Here it is

Lahar Alarm Safety

Kia ora

Today we built Mt Ruapehu in the sandpit. We also made the Whangaehu River valley, the plain below the mountain and the railway bridge at Tangiwai. We wanted to learn how the lahar destroyed the bridge in 1953 causing the Tangiwai Disaster. Kora and Ariana poured lots of water into the crater we had made on top of our mountain. It whoosed down the side of the mountain and into the river valley. The bridge collapsed and bits of our train fell into the river. After that, we watched a short video about what do do if you are on Mt Ruapehu when the lahar siren sounds.  Now I know how to keep safe from a lahar if one happens when I am on a mountain.  Here is my Hazard Notice with the most important information.

Coastal Moa Report

Kia Ora My name is Taylor and I go to Ohaeawai Primary School

Last term Team Moana got put into groups to do a set task it was about exctinct birds. My group was the Coastal Moa. In my group there was Shiah, Joe, Joel and me. We got given 6 question to answer before the end of term. What I really liked was learning about the Coastal Moa. What I didn't like was answering the questions.

Rocket

Boom!! Boom!! Boom!! MY heart was pounding. I got ready. 

As I got ready I thought to myself “do I really want to do this” I gained my confidence as I climbed aboard the giant ship.”Three..Two..One blast off” said the computer voice.I sat in silence as I heard the flames Ignite from the rocket.

AAHH!!! I said as we took off at 1000 miles an hour.

it was just seconds until I realised we were landing on the amazing Mars.Whoosh!!! The door opened and I exited the ship.Everything looked funny.As I floated around I noticed a vehicle,it had four bumpy wheels and a big camera It sort of scared me, but I finally got used to it.

I kept on exploring and I found lots of caves.One cave had green goo all over it I went inside and found three Creepy aliens.I hid behind a rock, behind me there was a door.I opened it and there was lots of crazy ships and cars I stole a buggie and escaped .As I boosted off I noticed them chasing me,one of them shot the motor then I started to slow down.I started to push random buttons missiles started shooting at them.they blew up and green goo exploded everywhere.

I got in the rocket as soon as possible and boosted back to earth. As I got off I yelled “HOME SWEET HOME’’
