Mini BB fair

Mini BB Fair


Today was the Mini BB Fair. The Mini BB Fair is a fair with books and baking. My parents gave me $5.00 to spend on books and baking (although I only spent my money on the baking)
For the baking I got an M and M cookie, Chocolate chip cookie. Raspberry Muffin.
Every parent and child in the school got to participate baking or donating. My family didn’t Donate books because all our books were special to us, but we baked the raspberry Muffin ( but my dad didn’t help). The Mini BB Fair is one of the most special fair ( including the Good Shepherd School Fair. In my opinion.

Informative writing

Llama

Llamas are relatives of Camel and Alpaca. They have long strong hind legs, Llama’s focus color is usually brown or white on their body . They are mammals and are very furry on the outside of their body. Llamas are usually not a aggressive animals but they can get very angry. They have a long slender neck. Why does a Llama belong to the the mammal family? Because they are relative to the camel.
The habitat of a Llama is the Andes mountains in Peru south America. But many of them have been imported to different countries. eg. New Zealand. Llamas usually live on mountains or grasslands.
The Llama is herbivorous. In the wild Llamas feed on grass and hay also fruit and vegetables such as broccoli ,lettuce,sweet potato, carrots and apples. Llamas can eat 4.5 kg to 5.4 kgs of food a day that might sounds a lot but not for a Llama.





Llamas usually live for about 20 years. When at the right age the female Llama releases an egg. Llama's gestation period is 350 days.


A baby llama is called a cria. An adult Llama can weight up to 130- 200 kg
A baby on the other hand can weight up to 18 kg when born. The Llama is part of the camelids family. There are now numbers of up 158,000 Llamas in our word.

Winning the poem competition

At school there was a poem competition. Me and Po’oi choose be partners but I choose to write just one of my own as well. So the one I wrote won surprisingly! My poem goes like this.

Get out of bed 

Get out of bed
Turn on the shower
Gobble up Breakfast
And out in an hour

Through the gates
Into school
Forgot my lunch box
Oh what a fool!

Sit on the mat
Wonder what's in store
Reading writing maths RE
And more.

The bell rings
End of the day
No more school
Hip hip hooray!

Proddigy

Not that  long ago Mrs Drummond gave us the privilege to use Prodigy. Prodigy is a maths game where you have to defeat monsters and complete quests. You also have levels and the highest is level 100. I'm level 41 at the moment. When you battle monsters it tells how much hit points (hp) you have, and you also get attack moves.
Prodigy is a maths game. The maths bit is when you're in the battle with a monster. Prodigy is a fun learning maths game I think all schools should use it.

speech

I presented my speech on Tuesday this week. My speech  was about plastic in the oceans. I had 10 cue cards. My score was 38/45 for peer review and for my overall score I got 66. My time was 2 minutes 42 seconds. My speech has facts about how we need to save marine life. One fact was about 12 million tons of plastic ends up in the sea a year. Another fact: not only do ultra violet rays break plastic down a microscopic shrimp like species called Orchestia gammarellus devour a plastic bottle into 1.75 million pieces of plastic.

Mary Mackillop feast day

Today was Mary Mackillop Feast Day. We went to mass at 9:15 after we did activities with Room Seven, including writing about Mary Mackillop's life and doing some Aboriginal dot art. I think feast days are fun because its a nice way to celebrate the saint's feast day. Here is a picture, I am the one in the middle. I think Mary Mackillop feast day is fun we should celebrate like this every year at Good Shepherd School.

Science

Today in science we  dyed wet paper towels and dry paper. The wet paper combined colors and the dry ones didn't. The 2 colors stood on each side. After lunch we saw  beautiful combined colors flowing around the paper towels. My classmates swarmed around to see the beautiful sight, and that was our science lesson for today.
