Enviro Trip

Yesterday, the whole year 6 neighbourhood all did a BIG walk! We started at Mangapapa school and walked across bridges, mud, grass and everything in between. We then arrived at the Botanical Gardens and had morning tea and played. My friends and I did a last to leave competition then we jumped on the tramps. Our next destination was the HB Williams Memorial Library and who ever brought a library card got to issue a book. Once we all had a read of a book, then we were on our way. Next stop the enviro centre. We learnt about Recycling, Reusing and Reducing plastic ♻. Then learnt about composting, worm farms, vegetables, fruit and herbs. Some kids also learnt that some chillies are HOT AND SPICY!!!

Here a few photos:

Workshop Wall

In the year 6 neighbourhood we have workshop wall, whatever you need to learn it is on the wall. You can pick which one you need to learn. I love that you can learn something new instead of learning something you already know. 

Paper wheel CHALLENGE

In room 12 and 14 we did the paper wheel challenge. The way it works is you have two materials: newspaper and sellotape. You then need to create a wheel of newspaper and sellotape and walk like you are in a hamster ball and try and walk to the other side of the room. Mine and everyone else's paper wheel ripped. Here is a photo: 

The Magic Square

In maths we are learning how to fill in a magic square. We first started with the number 1,2 and 3 and the number on the outside must equal diagonally, horizontally, up and down. The three numbers that are in a row need to equal three times the number in the middle. After we worked out the answer to that we moved on to three digit number now we are on decimal magic squares I didn't enjoyed they struggle to get there but, loved the relief when I was finished.

MY FIRST ANIMATION (using GOOGLE slides)

MY RAINBOW FISH

Meet my fish. MR. RAINBOW.

 He has been created by Quinn (myself), Rosanna and Ashmara. I love what we have created and which is pretty good with the amount of effort we put into it!

 I really enjoyed the work leading up to it and would love to do it again.

Looking Back I Wish I'd Known

This is a piece of art that we did in room 12 I really enjoyed it.

You needed to have a few ideas and it was based on what bad things or things that are not so great that have happened and what you wished you would have known before you did it  I used my water colour pencils and love how it came out!
