Making Whitebait Fritters

This term for our novel study, Mrs A read us Whitebait Fritters which
is a novel written by a Kiwi author Kingi McKinnon.  My favourite part
in Whitebait Fritters was when:

To wind up our learning we decided to make some fake whitebait fritters
because we can’t afford to buy real whitebait. We used grated potato
to take the place of whitebait and mixed it with eggs and onions.
They were really tasty. Then we had to write out the recipe, put it on
a Google Drawing and add some images. You can see my work below.

Maths 1 Maths: Geometry Safari

This term for maths we have been learning about 2D and 3D geometry.  I was in a team. with Kayla and Mikayla. We went on a Geometry Safari around the school grounds to see how many 2D  and 3D shapes we could find. Then we had to write what we had found into a table. You can see ours below.
We found out that geometry is everywhere!

What shape did you find?	Is it 2D?	Is it 3D?	What is it part of or where was it?
Octagon	No	Yes	Picnic Table
Square	Yes	No	4 Square
Sphere	No	Yes	Ball
Circle	Yes	No	Centre of court
Cylinder	No	Yes	Sandpit Pole
Triangle	?	?	Fling Fox
Cone	No	Yes	Field Cone

Science 1 Me and my DNA.

This term for science we are learning all about how the human body works and how special we all are. We are also trying to learn how to think and act more like a scientist. So, Miss Fletcher asked us to look at our faces in the mirror and write down notes about what we look like. The information had to be precise and clear so that when someone read it, it would help them find the person it described quickly. It was a bit like being a detective. You had to look and notice things carefully.

Miss Fletcher said that what we look like depends on our mother and father. Making a new human is a bit like making a cake.  You get some ingredients from your mum and some from your dad. The ingredients are called DNA. Everybody’s cake is different to everyone else’s. 

Miss Fletcher said the person with the most efficient description was Andrew J as he wrote: My hair is 1cm long all over. He is the only student in Team Moana with a haircut like that so he was able to be identified very easily. You can read my description below. The sentences highlighted in blue are the ones that Miss Fletcher said were not precise and clear enough.  Ten people said they could recognise me from my description.
