Koro's Description

Koro you are the most amazing person that I ever met, you always do our school proud by making our school clean and green you will always be a part of our school no matter what happens to us.

Koro you always make our school clean because you like helping our school. You really love listening to our Kapa Haka group. Koro has been the coolest, most awesome Koro that we had in our loving family.  Koro has a big heart.

He has been picking up our rubbish that we have been throwing on the ground.He is a wise man but he is always there to help - that is why Koro is so amazing.  He always thinks about others more than himself.

Koro always helps us when we need help. He is always there and he always appreciates what he is given. If he has to do something he will do it straight away.

Koro likes helping other people because that is what he loves doing, and he loves watching kids do Kapa Haka because he likes hearing kids sing.What he loves the most is being in Tamaki Primary because he is really special to our school.  He is part of our family. Koro doesn’t like cleaning after us because we have to do other important stuff.

Koro always says Kia ora and he always say “OOH YOU KIDS ARE BEAUTIFUL!” When he comes to Kapa Haka.  

We love Koro because he is a part of our Whanau and he has a really open heart.

This Is Our Plant Daisy

This is Daisy our plant she had died and she was really  great plant.

Jennifer's Observation

Here is a link to an example of an observation report.  You can use this example to guide your writing.  

Try to use as much science vocabulary that you can.  E.g. instead of saying ‘sucked up the water’ you could say ‘absorbed the water through the stem’

WALT write an observation report
Introduction: The first paragraph should introduce what you are going to inform the audience about.   e.g. This term we have been learning about plants...	This term we have been learning about plants,science experiments and investigating about how the plant is going to grow.Our group is the plant group we are called as the group 4.What happened was that daisy  was  the one we put in the  sunlight it wasn’t even blooming into a beautiful plant But one leaf of the plant fell of like a bird has died  but  Dandelion  was the  one under the box it was growing gorgeously like it was suppose too.
Procedure: Tell your audience exactly what you did and how you did it.  You might use commas to list your actions. You might use words like:  when, then, after that...	Dandelion was growing faster than Daisy.Dandelion was  having lots of shade and it was was growing like fire  Dandelion is stronger than ever.Daisy is dying because she doesn’t have enough shade.
Observations: Tell your audience what you noticed.  What were the changes?  Why do you think those changes happened?  What were some problems? You might use words like: on the first day, noticed, observed, changed...	Unfortunately Daisy and Dandelion  had died and now we can’t help daisy and fix her because she is dead and we don’t know what to do to help Daisy and Dandelion
Conclusion: Tell your audience what you learned from the experiment.  What were the key things that you found out.  Tell your audience how you felt at the end of your experiment. You might use words like:  I discovered, I realised, I learned that...	I learnt that sometimes plants and flowers can die from when they don’t have enough sunlight or enough shade.

Snow Leopards

The Pohutakawa Tree

One beautiful sunny day there was a little girl named Serena.  She and her family had just moved into a lovely house.When her mum and dad were unpacking their stuff, she saw something shining on her face. She couldn’t see anything,it was too bright.She went closer and closer then  she stopped at one lovely big tree with blooming flowers on it.She hadn’t seen a tree so beautiful and spectacular.There was something special about it.It was something that she saw in her self.

She went home and told her mum and dad about the  special tree that she saw.But when she got there she could smell macaroni and cheese.She felt a little pain  in her tummy.She said “ I am so hungry.When she stepped in she could smell the steam coming from the oven.She rubbed her tummy as she stepped in.When she got to the dinner table,she told her mum and dad all about the tree.She told  them that the tree reminded me of someone.Then she went and showed her mum and dad about the tree.”See “,she said it.I looks like someone I know.”

Her mum said,”That used to be grandma’s special tree.She always came here to relax.”When we moved grandma put a little picture of her on the trunk of the tree.The next morning,Serena woke up and ate her breakfast and then she went to visit the tree when she got there, these three men were trying to cut down the tree.Then she told them that the tree  was special because that tree was my grandma if you cut it down I will lose all the memory I had with my grandma and it is very important to me.

So please don’t cut it down it is very precious.Haven’t you notice one of the man said this tree was planted years ago so we have to cut it down.What is the name of the tree Serena said the name of the tree is the Pohutukawa tree it is very old and we need to cut it down.

This is my timetable for this week.

Science Experiement

Fraction Term 3 Week 5

Day One Of Observation

This is Daisy and  Dandelion the top one is Daisy and the second and last one is Dandelion

Science Experience

Day 2.What happened was that the one we put in the sunlight was already growing and the one we put under the box it wasn’t growing one bit but the plant that was in the sun was growing faster because the sun is giving the plant lots of energy for photosynthesis absorbed by chlorophyll in the leaves.

Plant Experience

Day 3.The one that was under the box was growing faster than the one that was on the sun because The one that was under the box was having lots of shade and it was was growing faster than the one that in the sun.

Science Investigation Sheet

WALT carry out a scientific investigation

Group Members:

Title:The plant group

Reason for Investigation:we are investigating so we could have more experience with plants

Hypothesis:My hypothesis is that if you put the plant under a box it will not grow

Materials needed: water sunlight oxygen compost food scrap

Method/Procedure (What we are going to do - step by step) we are going to put them in a cup then we had to put the plant in the cup after you have finished you have to put little bit of water in the plant so it the plant would not drown Then you have to put the plant in the sunlight Then you are finished

Observations (What happened?  What changed?  How?): what happened was that the one we put in the sunlight was already growing and the one we put under the box it wasn’t growing one bit but the plant that was in the sun was growing faster because the sun is giving the plant lots of energy for photosynthesis absorbed by chlorophyll in the leaves.

Conclusions (What were the findings?):

Reflection (Was your hypothesis right or wrong?  What future questions do you have?):well my hypothesis might be wrong but i think i might be right
