Bird Inquiry

Kia Ora, My name is Asbjorn

In the last few weeks we have been doing a bird inquiry.  My groups bird was a North Island Piopio.  What I learnt in this task was what Piopio eats and does and hunts and how it raises its chicks. What I liked in this task was: that I made a presentation I really like making presentations. We had to make a presentation showing everything we have found out about our bird. Here is my task I hope you like it.

Science me and my DNA

This term for science we are learning all about how the human body works and how special we all are. We are also trying to learn how to think and act more like a scientist. So, Miss Fletcher asked us to look at our faces in the mirror and write down notes about what we look like. The information had to be precise and clear so that when someone read it, it would help them find the person it described quickly. It was a bit like being a detective. You had to look and notice things carefully.

Miss Fletcher said that what we look like depends on our mother and father. Making a new human is a bit like making a cake.  You get some ingredients from your mum and some from your dad. The ingredients are called DNA. Everybody’s cake is different to everyone else’s.

Miss Fletcher said the person with the most efficient description was Andrew J as he wrote: My hair is 1cm long all over. He is the only student in Team Moana with a haircut like that so he was able to be identified very easily. You can read my description below. The sentences highlighted in blue are the ones that Miss Fletcher said were not precise and clear enough.   Twenty two people said they could recognise me from my description.

Bridge Building

*We have been learning about forces and how they help *shape the sort of bridges that we build.  
*We learned that there are three main types of bridge *design; beam, truss and suspension.  Using this *knowledge we designed and built our own bridges.
*Miss Fletcher set the challenge that our bridges had to *be 30 cm long and strong enough to hold an object.
*In my group there were Asbjorn Laniey Charle and *Khloe.  We used (list the materials you used barbaqu *scures a egg cartian)  to build our bridge.
*Here is a photo of our Beam bridge.  What I like best *about our bridge is That it is tall).

Bug hotel

We have put bamboo into the bug hotel and we

We made a bug hotel to attract good bugs to our garden.
