Earthquakes and volcanoes

 In Te Maunga we did earthquakes and volcanoes. We did a google drawing to talk about  a volcanic eruption or an earthquake (I chose the volcano eruption). We learnt about earthquakes and volcanoes I learnt that a volcano is a vent, or hole, that leads far into Earth. It runs down to the magma found deep in the Earth's crust in the mantle. Magma is a mixture of molten rocks and gases that has not reached the Earth's surface. These rocks and gases are very hot. Sometimes, magma is pushed up into spaces in Earth's crust called magma chambers. There, the magma bubbles and plops inside these chambers like thick soup in a pot and I also learnt Earthquakes happen when two large pieces of the earth's crust slips to cause shock waves to shake the earth in the form of an earthquake. My favourite thing to learn was about the volcanoes.

shakeout day

 In Te Maunga we did an earthquake drill and we had to find a spot to take cover and hold. We learnt about what to do when an earthquake happens you should drop, cover and hold.

Olympic reading

In Te Maunga we did Olympic reading. We learnt about Olympians. I learnt their ages when they entered the Olympics and more than three facts about them and how medals get made. They are actually made out of scrap metal. My favourite part was the ancient vs modern slide. We read heaps of texts and answered some questions about them.

PAL day

 On the last day of term 3 we did PAL day. We played different games and the ones that I did were a running challenge, an obstacle course, throwing balls through holes and relays. One thing I liked doing was the obstacle course. We got split into 16 groups all doing different things but when we heard the whistle we had to swap to a different activity.

Measurement DLO

 In Te Maunga we did a measurement DLO. We learnt about perimeter and area, perimeter is the outside of a shape and area is the inside of a shape. My favourite part was making my own shapes to fit the correct area and perimeter. Not all of it was easy. We had to explain what we did on our DLO.

LOCKDOWN

 At home I played on my motorbike, played with LEGOs and went fishing. I learnt about the game 500 and how to play it. One thing I liked doing was going on my motorbike. Playing 500 is not that easy, it takes you quite a while to learn how to play the game

Science

 In Te Maunga  we did science. We learnt about what science means and also how to do some experiments. One thing I liked doing was the Coke experiment. We had to make a procedural text. Have you done a science experiment before?
