Hanging On

Hanging On

As I silently walked across the woods I felt a quick touch. When I turned

around to look at what it did it was gone. ¨Must of been feeling things.¨ I thought

to myself. Then I saw a clearing ahead. ¨Good place to make a base.¨ I said.

So then I set up my camp. When I finished I started to cook some food. When

I looked away and after I looked back at the food, it was gone. Something had

taken my food. I looked around and there was nothing around. Then I found

this strange key. I picked it up and saw another key… I thought it was a trap

but it wasn't so I kept on going and I saw a hedgehog like animal with more of

them on the back of the big one. ¨Huh.¨ I said. Then I looked away and got some

carrots and gave them to the hedgehog like animals and they ate it so quickly that

I couldn't even see the carrots as soon as they took them. Then they climbed up

a tree and so I packed up and left to go to the city. I then went to the city and

continued my normal life. No one ever saw them again so I figured they were

endangered.

10 Minute Quick Write

10 Minute Quick Write

I hadn't seen the door before, it wasn't there last night.

Cautiously I turned the handle… When I turned the

handle I saw a passageway that  led underground.

I then heard a creaking sound… The door was locked!

So I had to continue down. I then heard a groan saying

“briiiiiaaaannnns.”  I kept on running because I knew it

was a zombie. Then I reached the surface and everywhere

I looked I saw zombies. I was the last human alive…

I heard a popping sound. There was a group of peashooters

eliminating all the zombies for me and I was very happy

so I planted more types of peashooters to help me. Eventually

all the zombies were defeated and I lived happily for the

rest of my life… With a army of zombie zapping

peashooters in a front yard

Aerial Archery Tag

Aerial Archery Tag

On the 26th of February in 2020 the year 5 kids went to Living
Springs campus to camp together, to learn new experiences
and to have fun! My favourite thing to do was the defying
archery tag.

 First the person teaching us about it taught us how to hold the
bow when we drew it and then she taught us how to shoot it.
I knocked out two targets in one shot which was super lucky and
rare. Then she taught us how to catch it (which is kind of
obvious how to catch it). So we practised catching the arrows
and lobbed it in the air for our Partner we chose to catch the

arrows.

 Then dun dun dun… we played archery tag. It was a full-out
war arena. We were firing and dodging as fast as we could.
There was also star wars music in the background. After we
played for the most points to win we did one round of last man
standing. The team that I was in won the round of last man
standing because we eliminated the most people from the other
team. After that we departed from the amazing archery tag.

Paper chair challenge in S.T.E.M!

We are learning to problem solve as a team. We had to make a chair out of paper and tape. The chair had to be at least 10 cm. The chair had to support a soft toy. We worked together really well and we worked together to create our chair/stool even though it cold not hold a soft toy. We needed to work on the shapes because we only used cylinders and one square. We could of use triangles and rectangles but we didn't use them. Have you made a paper chair before?

There is a photo of our paper chair underneath this text.

Life-cycle of a Tuatara

We have been learning to write an explanation about animal life-cycle. We had to include a title, introduction, subtitles, conclusion, technical language, factual information, a topic and stages. We also learnt about pandas and frogs but I chose Tuataras. It went well because when I had my plan done I could just look at it and then write it down on the document. My next step is to maybe think about detail. What do you like about Tuataras? Have you written a life-cycle before?

Here is my writing on the life-cycle of a Tuatara.

The life-cycle of a Tuatara!

Today I am going to tell you about the life-cycle of a Tuatara!

Stage one: the egg.

A female Tuatara lay 10 to 19 eggs in a deep underground burrow.
A Tuataras eggs are soft and leathery.
An egg with a female inside is warm and an egg with a male inside is cold.

Stage two: the hatchling

A baby hatchling will come out of the egg. The hatchlings are left to defend themselves by their mother.
[It's kind of mean.] A hatchling has 3 eyes for some weird reason. [It is cool though.]

Stage three: the juvenile.

Juvenile Tuataras don't have babies or mate yet.
Eventually the juvenile Tuatara grow scales over their 3rd eye.
For the first 15 years of its life a Tuatara is called a juvenile.

Stage four: the adult.

Adult Tuataras are about 45 to 60 centimeters long.
A Tuatara has been alive before the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Tuataras have been alive for almost 200 million years. Tuataras lay eggs every 3 to 4 years. 

What did you learn about Tuataras? Do you have one as a pet? Do you even like Tuataras?

Saving Sand Dunes

We are learning about sand dunes and how to save them. We went down onto the sand to learn to be good stewards of the sand. The sand dunes protect us from the wind and the waves. The person that taught us about the plants and animals was named Cecilia.

The plants on the sand dunes are the ice plant, marran grass, pingao and the purple ground sea. The animals that live in the sand are the katipo, sand hopper and the skink. We also made mini sand dunes and decorated them with sticks and stuff. My group got about 3 beetles in our sand dune! After we built the sand dunes the groups did a show and tell and talked about the sand dunes. The sand dune that my group made had a parking lot, a beetle arena, some holes for the beetles to live in and our things to protect the sand dune.
