Buddy Reading With Room 6!!!

A week ago we had buddy reading with Room 6. First of all I didn't have a partner so I decided to join Joanlisi and her partner Emily. She read mine and Joanlisi's blog post and some from other classes. Emily was reading very well and we didn't have to tell her any words that she might not know or say. I really enjoyed buddy reading with Joanlisi and Emily.

What Alice saw

This is my writing about a book report. I was writing about a girl named Alice. Earlier I did a blog post and said that she was the last person to see a real life moa. She saw this moa in 1880.

Life cycle on butterfly

A few days ago we read a book about monarch butterflies.When we finished reading we had to draw a life cycle of a monarch butterfly.They have four stages in a life cycle.A monarch butterfly can live for 60 to 70 days in life.In a butterfly life cycle a butterfly would start off with an egg, then its second stage is a larva which is a caterpillar, the third stage is a pupa which is a chrysalis, then it last stage is a beautiful butterfly.

Scientist!!!

Scientist are detectives that try to solve mysteries of nature.They try all 5 senses to find out what lives, the world, and the universe is up to.Scientist are very smart people they will work together and work everyday.Some of my family wants to be a scientist when they grow up and I believe that he will be one.

Moa?

You might be thinking who is this......

This is Alice her full name is Alice McKenzie she was born on 19th February 1873 this picture is her in her 80's, she has now passed away.She was the last person to see a moa in 1880, when she told her parents they wouldn't believe her so she showed her father the footprint to this mysterious bird.He measured it with a centimetre ruler and it was only 28 cm.This was a moa. This was a little bush moa about 130 cm. This was very interesting and I learnt a lot from this book.

What's a "Dog Family?"

DOG FAMILY

Wolves are the largest members of the dog family. A wolf can not be tamed so please don't try. When a wolf howls it means not to go in the area that the wolf is howling from. Dingoes, wolves, jackals, coyotes, African hunting dogs, a fox and a normal pet dog are all in the dog family. Foxes are the smallest from the dog family. Wolves can talk to each other. They can bark and howl and use their bodies to communicate. Wolves are my favourite animals. What is yours?

Penguins, Penguins, Penguins

Today our class was on a website called "Kiwi Kids News". I have chosen a title of the Naughtiest penguin at the National Aquarium of New Zealand in Napier. The name of this penguin is Timmy, what he did was he stole fish and pushed another penguin over. When I read this I was really surprised because I have never seen or heard a penguin be so bad as this one, but I don't really think that this is that bad for just this one penguin.

How do you weave flax?

This week we have been reading a book called "Operation Flax". Yesterday our reading group had to create  our own flax. We had brown paper and some scissors. The first thing we had to do was cut some strips but leave a little gap. Then we had to cut it out again on another paper, then we started going inside outside inside outside as if we were plaiting it but we weren't. Some of us have already finished doing this but to be sure I wasn't.
