Net Books

Room 5 have been writing about how  our net books helped us this year. 

This is my reflection on how our net books helped us this year:  

Having a net book  helps me a lot because it is easier. It helps me spell words correctly. It also helps me search things up on the internet faster when I type in my key words, and helps me learn more interesting things I don’t know. If we need to find information we look for our keywords. We call it scim and scam.

On our net book we can share our learning all around the world.

Our work is always saved and doesn't  get deleted.

If i want to find something quickly, I can bookmark it.

We can do our work any where that has internet.

I think a net book is better than a book because it is easier and faster.  

My favorite thing about using my net book was blog posting my on my blog to show the world.

Water Cycle

WALT write a water cycle report

• I can group my ideas under headings
• I can group my ideas into paragraphs
• I can write an introduction and a conclusion
• I can introduce each paragraph by using a topic sentence
• I can put material into my own words

This is my water cycle report. 

In the water cycle there are three parts. One is Rain, another is Water storage, Vapor and Clouds.  This is how it goes.

Precipitation occurs is when rain falls out of the clouds and covers the whole earth.The clouds are heavy and can’t  hold the rain in . Hail freezes up in  the clouds and hail comes out,but if it does not freeze rain comes out. Out the rain comes and covers every where. It fills up lakes, streams and oceans. When rain falls it turns into hail or snow. Sleet is a type of hail.

The water falls out of the clouds and rains and rains. First the water falls onto the surface of the earth. All the water gets soaked up to the underground. It is storing the water till it stops raining. When the underground is storing the water, it is called aquifer.  Water is needed for the earth. People pump the water up and it gets sucked out.

Once the rain has stopped the sun comes out. The water that is keeped underground starts to rise up. It heats up from the land or the ground. All of the  water goes into the trees and plants, until it gets hotter  and starts to turn into steam, or vapor. The sun begins to get hotter and the water starts to rise up to the clouds. That is Transpiration.

It rains, until the sun comes out. The sun heats the water into steam and it rises up to the clouds.  When vapor in the air gets cold, it turns into liquid. That is called condensation.

It freezes into ice until it turns hot. That is when it goes back up into the clouds until it gets heavy again. That is called the water cycle.

The water cycle will never end, it goes round and round, starting all over again. It rains and rains and rains.

The instructions was backstroke, breathe stroke, butterfly and then freestyle. I had to breathe a lot because it was so tiring. Finally it was the next stroke and that stroke was breathe stroke.  "Glide, Arms, Kick and Breathe"she said. Off I went and did the stroke as she had said. That is when I stopped because I had to see if I had stopped in the right line with my partner. Breathe stroke, breathe stroke and breathe stroke we did until it had been an whole hour. " Good job" Archie said to me. Good Bye.

Spectacular Movie After Earth

Have you ever watched a movie? Well I have watched this new movie called After Earth. It all started when my dad, sister and I were receiving tickets for the movie. " Are you hungry for anything' asked my dad. "Popcorn" I shouted out loudly. Next was movie time. Away we went, heading towards the entrance. Clip, went the sound of our ticket. " Over by the big X and to the door on your right. It was really loud once we were inside, but it was too loud. Once I seated in my seat I started eating. The lights started to go out as the movie came up on the screen.
He was a boy and had not seen his farther for a long time. One day when he was older he had finally seen his dad. He was coming to visit. Then his dad had arrived at his house. When it became night the boy was listening to what his dad was saying. He wanted to become a member of his crew on a rocket. His dad allowed him to come, but once he left he was no longer thinking that. Boom, there came a sound and again. "Ahhhh" people were screaming. The rocket was crashing.
Everybody died except for him and his dad. Except that his dad had a broken leg. " Please son, go get a beaken. "Okay " he replied. So he travelled and travelled and travelled until he reached it. Finally he returned with the beaken, but not in time. His dad had died.
Words started to appear and it was finished.
It was spectacular.

Peaceful Prayer

WALT to write a healing prayer

First I thought about writing thank you to God. I thought of writing thank you for doctors and nurses who look after us when we are hurt, and thank you for looking over those who have no food, water, shelter and health. So I wrote it down. I know that I have learnt to write a healing prayer when I tell God why I want them to be healed. This is my prayer.

My Special Synonym Wheel

WALT write exciting vocabulary instead of boring words.
Mrs Richardson gave us a word that we choose. I reached my hand inside and pulled out the word yell. Next I open up Sumo paint and started with my background. Then I clicked on an object to make I circle. As I went onto the Thesaurus page and looked up yell. It had a lot of words.  After a while I had a lot of different and vocabulary than Yell. I know that I can use exciting words because I will use words like scream and shout instead of yell.

Awesome Rugby Player

My dad Kelvin, is a rugby player.  I love cheering for him saying" Go go go, Score score score. Every time I cheer he scores a goal. His team is called Marist. He lifts, tackles and run really fast.  I love my dad. I know that one day he could be in the All Blacks.

My Amazing Rugby Cousin

I have a seven year old cousin who loves to play Rugby. Every Saturday he plays at the Pakuranga Club with his group Octopus's. My cousin always likes to play with them before the game. They verse different teams every time they play. First they have practice time before the game. The things that they learn is to pass. Once, he passed it front and not back. The rules are to pass back but not forwards. Then the game started. My Uncle, Sister and me were cheering for him. Pass pass, people were saying. My cousin was getting all the scores. LUCKY. Him and his team won. I felt proud for him. We all wonder if he will always play and become an famous rugby player.   

The Big Day Out

I was tired to walk once more! I was walking to Sylvia Park [ A mall] with my Baby Brother, Sister and Dad. As we arrived it just started to rain. We just got inside, all safe and sound, before it poured down. When I stepped in it was different then outside. It was LOUD.  I was excited because I could buy a lot of material. The first stop we went to was the food court. We were starving. I ate Butter Chicken. It was delicious. Next I got to chose. The Two Dollor Shop. As we reached there, I was thinking to buy books because I love reading. So I did. A lot more shops we passed by, but there was no time to stop. My mum was picking us up. Once more we stopped at Wendy's and got a shake. YUMMY. I really really really loved that day and hope we got to go  there again.











  

The Super Soccer Mum

WALT write in correct paragraph.

My Mum is the best because she is playful.  She is playful because she loves to play Soccer. Soccer is her favourite sport to play. We both like to play it together in the backyard. I know my mum is awesome at this sport because she always gets three or four goals, that's in her game. At home she can get eight or nine but I only manage to get  two or three goals. I like playing soccer with her.

Jesus Healing

WALT to recall how Jesus healed the sick

Jesus cares for the sick people because we are his brothers and sisters .

We all believe in him.  

The Amazing Sketcher

In Room 5 we are learning to sketch using a pencil. First we watched how to sketch because a lot of us did not know how too. Then we  got given a sketching pencil to use while we were working. I sketched  light to dark and sketched four lines down.

My amazing night

What a fright I got when I woke up. I thought that it was a big spider. As I crawled to the other end of my bed, calling to my sister to turn the light on I found out it was a bunch of balloons. Mum left messages and gifts around the house. My best gift was the east side hat because it is where I come from. As I was walking to school I was excited for after school. I learn a lot at school. Like R.E, Math's, Reading and a lot more. Afterwards was the time to play BOWLING. When we arrived, I was really excited. First we had to borrow bowling shoes.   Of course I would of been first. So I bowled and it went all the way and knocked 6 down. But that was not all. Next was my sister, mum and Dad. As my dad had his last turn it showed the scores. My dad was first, I was second, my sister third and mum forth. Then me and my sister was able to play games. My favorite one was Deal or no deal. It was fun because I won 100 tickets. When I saw the number on my ticket it said 335 tickets. I could get a prize. I had the most cool night

   

Clifford the Star

At school I have been given my duffy book and it is called Clifford is a Star. I then read it and this is what it was about.

Clifford the big red dog, and Emily Elizabeth were best friends. They were such best friends that they did everything together. One day a man came over from Hollywood and said, "Clifford would you like to be in one of my movies".  Of course he said Yes. As Clifford left Emily Elizabeth waved good bye. Clifford was one of the Hollywood Stars. He felt happy ,until all his fans arrived. So Clifford wanted Peace and quite, but he always had to go to parties. When Emily Elizabeth was watching T.V and saw Clifford, he looked sad. The next day when Emily Elizabeth opened the door Clifford was right there. Now Clifford was really happy
