Structure of the Earth.

We have been learning about the structure of the Earth. Here is our presentation.

Structure of the Earth Facts

Structure of the Earth Facts

We are learning about the structure of the Earth.

I learnt that the Earth is made up of 4 layers. They are:

Facts about each layer:

Crust - The crust it the top of the mantle the Outer core and the inner core and we are
standing on the crust.

Mantle - The Mantle is boiling hot and the rocks are melted so it is soft and squishy.

Outer Core - The Outer core is 4000-6000'C hot, even hotter than the sun.

Inner Core - The inner core is the hottest place by the outer core. It is solid because of the
pressure from the outer layers around it.

Our group -  

First we created a 3D image of the earth using …..

We then cut the shape in half to show the different layers. After waiting for it to dry,
we identified each layer by painting them in different colours.
Below are some pictures of our work.`

Mixed-ability maths

Hello, 
This term we have being doing mixed-ability maths.

I feel really good doing mixed-ability maths in a group
they can help me. 

I like doing mixed-ability because it is fun. I like maths too
and working in a team. 

I enjoyed working with my group its good if you don't play with them
that much and only work with them.

Earthworms

These are my sentences about earthworms- starting with a simple sentence and expanding to a complex sentence.

                                         We learnt about worms and how they survive in the wild.
                                         I like worms because they're hard to find and they are slimy to touch.

My progress in explanation writing.

Here are the two pieces of writing

I did this year for Explanation Writing.

in Term 1 we had to explain what a friend is and I tried to write why a cat and a dog would not be friends. I tried to write a sentence and I started right, with a capital letter, but I didn't finish the sentence and stopped writing after only three words. I spelled them all correctly. I scored at the beginning of Level 1.
This is what I wrote:
Dog and cat

Then in Term 4, we had to write to explain how to fix an environmental problem. This time I wrote two sentences, I used a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end of both
my sentences, and I used a comma in the right place. I wrote 20 words but 4 of them were not spelled correctly. I scored at the top of Level 1.
This is what I wrote:                        

       

At our shool we pot our rubbish in our bags. Soom, Kids donot pot dear rubbish in dear bags.

Christmas in New Zealand and Sweden

We have been learning about  the different ways people celebrate Christmas around the world. We decided to make a Venn diagram to show things that are the same and different in New Zealand and Sweden. When this are the same, you can compare them. When things are different, you contrast them. I hope you like my diagram.

Simile Paragraphs

We had to write three different similes based on the same picture. Then we had to write one topic sentence to go in front of the simile sentences. The topic sentence had to suit the other sentences. Then we would have a topic sentence and supporting details.

My pet lamb Snowy is cuddly.

The lamb is as woolly as a jumper.

The lamb’s ears are as pink as a coloured pencil

He is warm like a jersey.
