Room 5 2016 Waiuta Camp

On Wednesday we went on a class camp. It was my first class camp Hope you enjoy my slide show.

The Life Cycle of a Frog

We have been learning to write an explanation. We were writing about the life cycle of a frog because a student in our class brought some tadpoles into our class .

Life Cycle of a Frog What are frogs? Frogs are small amphibians that are green or brown. They are slimy special creatures that have four legs and two eyes and some frogs are small or they can be big. Frogs can live in water or on land. There are three stages in the life cycle of a frog. First, frogs lay their eggs, second, the frogs eggs hatch, third, tadpoles turn into frogs.

Eggs stage The eggs get laid by a female frog in a pond because on land they would die because the sun would dry them up but most frogs lay their eggs in a pond.  The frogs eggs are orange or grey with a black speckle in the centre with jelly around  it that protects it. The black speckle is the tadpole.

Tadpole stage It takes about a week for the frogs eggs to  hatch.  When the frog eggs hatch they will have a tail but no back legs or no front legs.They are very small black or brown tadpoles. The tadpoles little they start growing more into a frog, they grow their legs and front legs.

Frog stage The tadpoles get their front legs and their back legs and their tail shrinks and turn into a frog.They turn into baby frogs and go hop onto land.

Opinion In my opinion of the life cycle of a frog has three stages: eggs, tadpoles, frogs.

Room 5 Cricket

On Tuesday, 1st November  Room 5  played cricket. A cricket coach came to teach us cricket  properly. I learned  how to bat better then I used to. Here are some photos of us playing cricket.

Fraction DLO

In my maths group I have been learning how to figure out fraction problems.We had to make a  DLO, known as a Digital Learning object.

Self-Portraits

In room 5 we were learning to draw self-portraits.  This is my self-portrait .  I used pastel for my self-portrait.  One thing I learned was  to put  the pastel on the side for shading my hair.  Something I found difficult was the nose because of the nose curve.

What are the Olympic Games?

Room Five are learning to write an explanation on What are the Olympic Games. We were also learning to group ideas .We had to make an introductory paragraph that had to answer who,what,where and when.

What are the Olympic Games?  

The Olympic Games are  a sporting event  when athletes come to compete against other top athletes from different countries all over the world over 17 days. The Olympic Games are held in Rio de Janeiro 2016 and the next Olympics will be held in Tokyo 2020.

Sports  

The Olympic Games top athletes represent their country by holding a flag during the opening ceremony.The Olympics have sports like the sevens rugby,shot-put,high jump,gymnastics and netball. The athletes have to pass a test to get in the Olympics Games and complete the Olympic Games.

Medals

The Olympic Games  get a gold but the gold is actually silver with a thin top coat of gold. For silver 2nd  gold 1st bronze 3rd. Lots of athletes earn their medals from doing their kind of sport that they do and earn the medals.   

Opinion

I enjoy watching the Olympic Games swimming. I like the Olympic swimming because I like doing swimming at school. The Olympics Games swimming is cool because you can go in water and do freestyle, backstroke and other swimming things.
