Hello everyone, in Te Maunga we have been learning about measurement. I learnt how to weigh using kilograms and grams. I also learnt how to measure using centimeters and millimeters. My favourite activity was growing in water, we measured the capsule and then it grew in the water so we measured the animal and saw the difference.
Hello everyone, in Te Maunga this week we had a visit from the Northland Science Roadshow. We learnt about Rockets, spectroscopy and water testing. The rockets were fun, we had one that was full of air, one filled with some water and one with fire. I learnt that how much pressure goes in the bottle the further it goes. The spectroscopy was fun, we had a box and a CD and when we looked in the small hole it wasn't really a rainbow but when we looked in the big part it was a very good rainbow. The water testing was fun, we put drops of nitrate and ammonia in the water to see what one was good to drink, the clear one was the best.
Hello everyone, in Te Maunga we have been learning about cricket. I learnt about batting, when you bat you go on your side and you have the bat behind your head then it can go far. We played non-stop cricket. The batting team has to line up and try to hit the ball far. The fielding team has to try and catch the ball and spread out.
Hello everyone. This week in Te Maunga we have been learning about poetry. I learnt about metaphors. A metaphor is a simile that does not have like or as in it.
Hello everyone, on the twenty fifth of September Paihia School went to cross county. First we ran around the field, next we ran up the hill and back down, last we ran back on the field to the finish line. After the race I felt puffed, tired and hot.
