In our literacy group, our learning has focused on the sea. We have been learning about the hectors dolphin.
An interesting thing about dolphins is most dolphins have triangle dorsal fins but the hectors dolphin has a rounded dorsal fin.
Marine Biologists research marine animals like the whale and other fish like that.
Seaweed is amazing because it plays a really important role in our Eco system and scientists believe it is the plant of the future.
Last week we had our Olympics athletics day the events included sprints, throws, high jump and long jump. I came second in the sprint races, third in the high jump first in the long jump but I didn't place in the throws.
I really enjoyed all of the events, I gave it my all and it really paid off by me getting lots of places.
Something that was a bit tricky was the high jump because when the bar got high I had to start using different techniques to get over it.
I am really proud of how i did this athletics, I tried my best and left it all out on the field.
Add a personal comment this was my best athletics ever!!!
In our literacy group, we have been learning about Moa and how we can bring them back to life.
Moa are the largest bird ever to walk the earth and it would be amazing to see them walk the earth again.
They became extinct because the Haast Eagle hunted them for food like Māori. Māori hunted them for their bones to make fish hooks and pendants.
An interesting thing that I learned was the Moa are part of the ratite group of birds and they are closely related to the ostrich and the emu.
Over the last 2 weeks I have been working on a slideshow about the Ancient Olympics vs the Modern Olympics.
I enjoyed learning about both Olympics what sports were in them and what country's they were held in.
I found it hard to read the information on the text because the print was so small and that made it hard for me to get all of the information.
I am proud of what I have done I worked my hardest and it really paid off their will be no next time because I don't want to remake what I have already done my best at.
Over the last week, I have written a report about Liberato Cacace, who is a pro football player playing for the OlyWhites at the Tokyo Olympics.
I enjoyed finding out all of the information so I could write the report - like who he plays for and what tournaments he plays for and things like that.
I found it hard to put all of the information into sentences because they were all listed as facts on the websites I looked at.
I am proud of the learning I have done and I have met all of the success criteria.
