2018 Daffodil Day

Remember 2 teachers from GI School who died of cancer.

Siaosi Tongilava

Whae Emily

Cancer day  collecting funds/ raising funds for research for  cancer treatment.

I remember Whae Emily when she came to Glen Innes School
she was a great teacher also a great maori teacher.
I was in her class when I was in your two.
Whae Emily was a very good teacher in room four she would always
be good to our class then we would be good to her.  
Siaosi Tongilava was a great teacher to he was
like a tongan legend he came to teach
what he knew then he died.
I had an aunt who died of cancer and diabetes
my family was very heart broken when they
heard that she was diagnosed with cancer and diabetes and
our family knew she was gonna die soon.
I remember Whea Emily very well but I don’t remember
Mr Siaosi Tongilava as well but I bet there in a
better place as well as my aunty.

  

Maths games

I was playing a game of matching fractions.  I had match 1/2 with words one
half and a picture that showed one half.  
This game was difficult and confusing for me because
i'm very slow at putting down and picking cards up to match.
I would like to learn how to do an improper fraction
and a mixed number to get the fraction right.

Bokashi

Bokashi
--------------
This afternoon Mr Naidoo told us about compost and no meat , fats , bones and citrus. We could make something with the meat citrus and that we could make bokashi. Bokashi is made up from orange peels , meats , fats and bones you just needed to get two buckets , one hand fill off bokashi mix , orange peels , meat scraps and bones. So when you fill it up it will probably take two weeks or less then you do two new buckets and put a holes in the first one and do the processes.

Volleyball

Benefits of composting

I think that the benefits of composting is good because it can help us get

a better results of having a healthy garden.

Here are five different benefits that can help save our environment.

My first reason is:Composting reduces greenhouse gasses. The landfill produces
methane gas and that is bad.

That gas is not good for soil or compost. The landfill doesn't produce air it
produces methane gas

and that isn't a good for us because it isn't made up from oxygen.

If we compost more we won't have methane gasses in the landfill or other greenhouse gasses.

My second reason is:Composting improves soil quality.

Composting is good for regenerating the old soil so it can help the food scraps grow the plants.

So when the worms come they can eat the soil and absorb the air at the same time. We need
to compost more

so that we can have a more safe and healthy environment.

My third reason is:Compost helps clean up contaminated soil.

Contaminated soil isn't good because it can cause pollution and unhealthy plants.

We have to help the soil by plant and pour the right stuff on to the grass.

We have to stop  pouring toxic stuff on the grass that won't help the plants and soil it will die.

For this situation you will need to help the environment by planting and composting your food scraps.

My fourth reason is:Compost helps control erosion.

Composting has seen to help control erosion in a lot of places like embankments

, lakes , rivers , golf course , parks and heaps of other places.

So you can see that a lot of grounds have healthy grass and healthy plants.

We will have a healthier environment if we compost. 

 So if the environment is important to us we need to compost so we can stop 

erosions and reduce the landfill.

  My fifth reason is:Compost makes and saves money.

 Composting is rich to farmers because it helps you grow your crops and helps the dead soil. 

Composting saves money because you won't have to buy a whole garden you can just buy the seeds.

The seeds will grow with cultivated help that means people will have to plant the seeds water them and let it

have some sun.

This is what we have to do so we can have good and healthy plants.

I hope I have persuaded you to hear what the benefits are to composting and hope you will compost.

Walht: summarize and take notes.

Walht: summarize and take notes.

This week we revisited writing a summary and taking notes.
My teacher read this story to us and we had to write a summary using the ‘W’ words.

Here is my summary:
In a chicken coup there lived two chicks named Hansel and Gretel and there pour old grandpa.
There mother was taken recently from them by the fox. Hansel and Gretel just got back from the
corn field and there coup was trashed and there grandpa was gone.
They had enough of the bird napping so they went to train the art of ninjutsu.
They found a house there lived a strange looking man and he asked them to come in.
The chicks looked again and saw the fox come out of his cloak and the fox threw them in with
their mother.
Hensel pick the lock and they all took a run for the door to lock him in.
The two chicks thought that they should protect the chickens from getting birdnaped.

Reflection:I have a little understanding. I need to relearn how to write a summary in my own words.

Te Tuhi

 



My classmates and I went to Te tuhi it is an art gallery. We had to do surrealism so it was a collage. We had to stick two pieces of plastic together then we put sticked a the card with it. We had to make the collage look realistic so we stick a bunch of stuff on then it turned out good. After we done all of those things it looked like this.

My classmates and I went to Pak n Save to learn and write down food labels. We done five different categories and those categories were fruits , cereals , bread , milk and snacks. It was cool to write food labels down.
