Fishler and Gizmo

This year we have class pets caled Fishler and Gizmo.
They are marvolous pets and they are goldfish.
we have monitors that feed them at the moment they are Dannielle Phoebe.
They are not eating us like dogs would.
And not scratching us like cats would.
Also they are portable and don't poop on the floor (WITCH IS VERY GROSS).
The girls named Gizmo and the boys named Fishler.
Some of us had these fish last year but this year we all earned them.
But the main thing is that they are AWSOME!!!


By the most awesome person in the universe:

Modules

Last 2 weeks ago we had a program, and we went over to mrs youngs class to do modules and what we were doing was art we learnt how to use colours that blend well together. And how to draw animals through shapes it was realling fun because iam not a good drawer, im not good at art so it would be a good exsperience.

Thank you for your time!

bp challenge

For hot learning, our class had a huge brainstorm for what we would do for our inquiry.We all gave the teacher our ideas and mrs phillips took all the ideas that we could have and we voted for the ones that we wanted,in the end, mrs phillips split all of us into the groups that we wanted to be in.There were many things to choose from, including photography,wonders of the world and much more.Alex, Morgan, Sophie, Adana and I chose to be in the bp challenge group.This includes doing many bp challenges an also researching about flight.We are working on a bp challenge at the moment
that will allow us to compete with other schools. this is what we have to do. Our task is to design an aeroplane from any materials we like but there is a catch!
it must use a propeller and wheels that the teacher has provided and it it must use a/some rubber bands to power the propeller.

The things we are going to use are:

Balsa wood
some rubber bands
the wheels
the propeller
some polystyrene
toothpicks
and maybe even a parachute!!

This is going to be an awesome experience.

H.O.T Learning

For H.O.T Learning we got to suggest ideas that might be good for creativity. Creativity is our concept this term.. Catilin, Morgan RB, Amy, Phoebe and I chose to do fashion designing. We need to design a dress for the Rugby World Cup 2011. One of our W.A.L.T's is to evaluate a pattern using the De Bono's thinking hats.
Mrs. Phillips showed us some of her dresses for us to look at. Here are some for you to look at.

Our new math program!

In our class we now have a new math program. Now we all do group maths first then have a sharing session, In the sharing session Mrs Phillips pulls three names out of a bag and those three people have to share a math question they found hard and strategie they used to fix it. After that we do the top 20 which is 20 basic fact questions that people try and do as FAST as they can!
I'm in the top 60 club which means I have to do 80 masic fact questions in the same time people do 20 basic fact questions! Oh every time people complete 20 questions and stand up before everyone is finished and got them all correct. They would get a tick by their name, If they did the same thing the next day they would get another tick beside there name and they would be in the top 20 club! Which means they would now have to do 40 questions in the time people do 20!
Its kinda confusing but its REALLY fun! :)

Snowy fractions!

Today maths was a bit different, Because of all the snow we decided we would do fractions outside! So we all had groups of three and got a couple of sponges, a syringe and a cup of food colouring. Mrs Phillips would yell out a fraction and one person from each group would have to either use the syringe or sponge to draw one way of showing it! After that we had to make a snow pile, half it then quarter one of the halfs, Then we had to make a snow stucture with those fractions and mark which fraction it was!
It was so cold but so much fun!

Radio Jingle

This term we have been making radio jingles as part of our advertising. I made one for Colgate toothpaste. Check it out hope you like!

modules

This term we have learnt how to get the red ink, coffee, vivid and tomato sauce stains off the carpet and lino.
We made our own cleaners, which was made up with white wine, orange and baking soda.
We tested it against jiff. We left it on the carpet and lino over night to see what would happen, it was dried when we looked at it the next day, we washed it off with 2mls of water, a dry cloth and toilet paper.
Our cleaner did'nt work on any of the stains, the jiff took the coffee and red ink off the lino only.
