Term 4 - where has the year gone? <br />
<br />
Room 11 has had a very busy term already and we are only in week 5! We had a real treat when Craig Smith the author of the Wonky Donkey came to Hawera and performed his show to hundreds of school children. He sang lots of different songs and used puppets to help him. Emmanuel even got to be Wilbee the Bumblebee for one of the songs - we loved his new song Kaha the Kea and Miss Bruce found it on the internet when we got back to class. Here is the link so you can check it out too!<br />

Room 11 has been doing lots of learning about our new topic - <strong>HEALTHY EATING</strong>. We have been learning about the 5 different food groups:<br />
<br />
- Fruit and Vegetables<br />
- Breads, cereals, pasta, rice<br />
- Milk and Milk Products<br />
- Meats, Eggs, Fish, Beans<br />
- Treats <br />
<br />
In order to have a 'Balanced Diet' we need to be eating foods from all of the different food groups. This helps to keep our bodies happy and healthy.<br />
<br />
These 5 food groups make up the <strong>Food Pyramid. </strong>We have been learning about where different foods fit in the pyramid. There are lots of different pictures of Food Pyramids but the one we have been focusing on is this one.<br />

As part of our learning about Healthy Eating we went on a trip to the supermarket, where we looked closely at different foods and where they were located in the supermarket. We were very lucky because we got to see out the back of the supermarket in the produce area and in the chillers where some of the fresh fruit and vegetables are kept. We also got to go into the butchery to see how mince is made and how the meat is packaged up and ready to sell.<br />

As well as all our learning about Healthy Eating, we have also just had Athletics Sports Day. We practised the different events in the 3 weeks leading up to the day so that we were ready to give all the events our best shot! Miss Bruce was very proud of all of us because we all took part and tried our best and that is what Athletics Sports Day is all about.Room 11http://www.blogger.com/profile/03906814231064176918noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8016533896092386696.post-2830758087288105232012-08-22T01:48:00.000-07:002012-08-22T01:48:24.154-07:00Maori Legends<div style="text-align: center;">

<strong>Night and day is caused by the Earth rotating or spinning on its axis. The Earth spins once every 24 hours. For 12 hours it is light (day) and for 12 hours it is dark (night). The part of Earth that faces the sun always has day. The part of Earth that is facing away from the sun always has night. </strong></div>

<strong><u>When I First Touched the Water….</u></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I ran at the beach and dived. When I first touched the water it felt like I was in an ice cube. I walked like a penguin. I had goose-bumps and my hairs on my arms were sticking up, I was shaking too. My mouth was going up and down and my lips were purple and when the wind came it made it worse.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the holidays I helped my family to cut the firewood and I held the axe. My brother was swinging the axe and it slipped out of Hamish’s hands and it hit part of my toe. It started bleeding. I didn’t cry.</div>

<strong><u>The Rock Pools</u></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went to the rock pool. I found a crab we got him. He was hard to get. The crab went into the rocks. We caught him on the pencil and scooped the crab into the sieve. We found Neptunes necklace, we found a spikey kina and we found Flap Jack. We went to the pools. We went down the mini slide, it was slow, then we got wet. There was a huge line and in the little pool there were bubbles.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The Ray chased the seahorse. They swam past some Seaweed. The Seaweed said, “You can hide in with us.” The Ray swam past but they didn’t notice a Shark. It leapt up and ate one Seahorse. The fins were bleeding, that made lots of Sharks. </div>

Yesterday we went to the rock pools. Some people went in the bus. Some people went in the cars. We found a cushion star, flap jack, and Neptunes necklace. At the rock pools we found a crab. Jack tried to get it. It was always crawling underneath the rocks. Then Jack picked it up and put it into the sieve. After that we went to the pools. We played royal rumble. I felt excited.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The wild weekend broke our glass table. The garage door was flapping. Me, Mum and Amber went to Palmerston. On Saturday night it was raining. On Sunday we had two trees down. My Pop went on the four-wheeler to have a look at the trees and the bottom to the top of the tree was down. It was two pinecone trees. Down the street a chimney fell off. My Nana’s kitten Marmalade came running inside and cuddled.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the reef it was sunny. The sea creatures were very happy. One little fish was lonely. He went in the sea to find a friend, and one day he was lost. He was lost in seaweed, it was all over the place. A turtle was swimming over the seaweed, he saw little fish. Turtle dived down and got the little fish’s fin and he said, “I will help you” and the little fish said, “Ok.” Turtle said, “Where do you live little fish?” “I live in the reef” and they swam away and they lived happily ever after.</div>

On Thursday the school went to the rocky shore. It was sunny and it was rainy and a bit windy. It was cool and parents and the junior school came and I found a crab. It was in the rocks and I found a cats eye. I pulled it off the rocks with my hand and I found flap jack and I found a starfish. It was fun.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
On Saturday night when I went to bed like usual, I lay there for a while and listened to the HRV. Then I fell to sleep. I slept for about an hour and then….CRASH!......BANG!......BOOM! Suddenly, I heard a sound, a very strange sound. I woke up immediately and ran to the window to see what was going on, I was very frightened to see what was happening. Suddenly it was all over, everything was broken, the tramp was in the vegie garden!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
On the 24th of March Americana came to Hawera. I saw a black and yellow striped car. It looked like a bumblebee. I loved Americana. I loved Americana because of all the cool cars.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Saturday night at my home there was a storm. It was BANG! CRASH! BOOM! That was the storm. I got scared. I went into Dads bed. I closed my eyes then opened. I was worried that Dad’s truck would blow down the driveway. The power came on at 9 o’clock in the morning. It was a windy day. It was windy in the night too. Dad said to me, “Don’t be scared.” I shook, I was scared.</div>

<strong><u>Assembly Practise</u></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few weeks ago Mr Bradley and the school had assembly practise. We had the assembly practise in the hall because people were being naughty and rude. Mr Bradley told us to have the assembly to practise. I felt scared and sad. Mr Bradley was stomping around, it gave me a headache. Mr Bradley was very angry at us.</div>

<strong><u>The Octopus and the Sting Ray</u></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was a whole bunch of crabs that were running away from a sting ray. Suddenly, an octopus appeared behind a rock and it tied the sting ray up and ate it all up. But a shark came and the octopus tied it up and ate it up all over again. The crabs hid in the seaweed in case something else happened. They were safe. Nothing found them. They had nothing to worry about ever again. But the waves were washing and they washed up all over the shore and a hawk found them and ate the crabs. That was the end of their life.</div>

We bombed into the pool, when my first toe touched the water, quick as a flash I sprang out of the water. As soon as I got underwater I felt as stiff as a pencil, my lips turned blue and my teeth chattered as I jumped out of the pool. I was drenched. When I got out I had goose-bumps.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
In the weekend on Saturday there was a storm. Leaves rattled, trees shook and fences broke. I felt like a tornado was coming. The power was gone. My mum was running around the house. Our fence was broken. My sister had to find matches to start fire for candles.</div>

<strong><u>AMERICANA</u></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
About five weeks ago, the whole school went down to the roundabout. We had to walk there. At first, I had no idea what it was about….until the cars came. There were Hot Rods and Minivans. I felt like the president of the USA was going to be in one of those cars! After we stayed there for a while we walked back but the seniors were still there – so were the cars! We made USA flags because they were American cars!</div>

<strong><u>Turuturu’s Big Day Out</u></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday all of the Junior School and parents went to the rocky shore. I and Jasmine went in Charlie’s car. It was a little bit sunny, rainy, windy and chilly. We went to the rocky shore because we are learning about the ocean. At the rock pools Charlie, Jasmine and I found cats eyes and one flap jack. I found two cushion stars and Jasmine found two cushion stars. We found lots of Neptunes necklace, dead crabs, we found a sea snail, chitons and limpets all over the rocks. The dead crab is called a big handed crab. Charlie caught a shrimp. Max and Gareth thought they found a sting ray but it was a leaf. I picked up the two starfish with my fingers because it was on a rock. I liked finding the little creatures and shrimps and the other kinds of fish are really, really fast. We found sea slugs too. </div>

Yesterday I went to the Kawaroa Rock Pools. I went with Zoe, Hannah, Corbin and Zoe’s Mum. It’s in New Plymouth and we also went to the pools. We went to learn. I felt happy. I found a starfish, four crabs, and I found heaps of Neptunes necklace and chitons. I tried to get a crab that was tucked into a rock with the sieve but the sieve was too thick. Mason picked up the Neptunes necklace with his hands.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
One day a fish was swimming and it was morning. Then along came a shark. It was hiding behind a rock. It sneaked up to the little fish and the shark gave it a fright. The fish went flying off and the shark was chasing it. The fish quickly hid behind a rock. The shark went past the fish and the shark lost the fish. The little fish swam away and lived happily ever after.</div>

You may look at it and think that it is just a pile of grass clippings, leaves and sticks - WRONG! There is so much more happening in that pile then you could ever imagine! Microorganisms are so tiny that you can't even see them - but man are they busy! They are breaking down the sticks, dry leaves, dead plants and grass clippings and turning it all into COMPOST which is great for the garden. The amazing thing is that the compost pile actually gets hot - yes HOT! We are talking 40 degrees celcius HOT! To give you a bit of an idea we took the air temperature and that was 15.7 degrees celcius. Then we stuck the thermometer into the middle of the compost and guess what! 40 degrees! Now that is tropical! Check out our photos below....</div>

Well the holidays have been and gone and Room 11 has been busy learning about the 3R's: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE </strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We discovered a cool song on Youtube all about the 3R's by Jack Johnson. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
As well as learning about some of the materials that we can <strong>RECYCLE,</strong> we have been thinking about ways that we can <strong>REDUCE</strong> and <strong>REUSE</strong> materials. Part of this has been learning about Worm Farming.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tiger Worms<strong> LOVE</strong> the fruit and vegetable scraps that we have left over from brainfood and lunchtime. They also <strong>LOVE</strong> the hair that Ben's Mum brings us! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tiger Worms aren't just good for eating scraps though - the <strong>worm poo or castings</strong> that they make are really good for our class vegetable garden. They also make <strong>worm wee</strong> which in garden terms is like 'liquid gold'. You can dilute this with water and it is an excellent <strong>fertilser</strong> for your garden.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Below is a 'snapshot' of the day Room 11 upgraded to a bigger Worm Farm!</div>

We had such a great day out and had lots to write about and share. Some of us have even been back to the rock pools with our parents to show them exactly what we saw.<br />

Some of us travelled by bus, and others went in cars. It was a very windy day but this didn't stop us from having great fun discovering all the life in the rock pools. We worked in groups and located lots of different sea plants and creatures. We found <span style="background-color: lime;">crabs, sea anenomes, cushion stars, neptunes necklace, flapjack, kina, limpets, chitons and barnacles</span>. Once our time was up down at the rocky shore we refuelled with some lunch and headed into the Aquatic Centre for an afternoon of fun in the heated pool. There were big floating boards for us to lie on and the waves came on too. This was very exciting! All too soon our swim came to an end and it was time to head back to school. Miss Bruce and the other teachers have taken lots of photos of our 'big day out' and these will be added shortly.....watch this space! :)Room 11http://www.blogger.com/profile/03906814231064176918noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8016533896092386696.post-58805379284908972282012-03-01T00:20:00.000-08:002012-03-01T00:20:16.209-08:00Out and About at Turturu School!<div style="text-align: center; width: 400px;">

Last week we decided that it was time to give our class garden a 'makeover'. First we weeded the garden and pulled out all the old vegetables. We put these on our compost pile at the back of our classroom. The next day we planted our new vegetables. Before we planted the vegetables we decided where in the garden we would plant them so that they all had enough space to grow and the same vegetables were together. </div>

We are so lucky to have our own school pool at Turuturu School and that means we can go swimming just about every day! We have been doing lots of swimming and we are looking forward to the swimming demonstration day when we can show off what we can do in the water......watch out though.....when we hit the water we become dolphins and sharks!!</div>

We also have a class garden. We even used it to help us with our Statistics learning during Maths. We worked in groups and each group counted how many of each vegetable there was. Then we went back to class, shared our data and recorded the results on a tally chart. We then made a bar graph and found out that there was more Beetroot than Brocoflower! <br />
