Scared Face

Today we got to choose which face we did.
I chose to do a scard face. I was really fun to
draw and easy to do.

Mountain Spring

I like how all of the clouds/fog are all around the page
instead of in one spot. I think it is really cool that he mostly paints his rainbows in the middle of the
page and also there is a waterfall and at the bottom and
at the bottom of the waterful there is a rainbow. 

Twilight Mist 

I

I like how this artwork is set in the mountains
and how there is the lake. I like how the rainbow 

is right through the  middle of the page instead of 

on the side or down the page.

Pool Of Light

I like how in the pool of light the it is extremely colourful 

With waterfalls, trees, mountains, clouds and snow.

I like this one because the colours are mixed together.

Cooking At Home

Today I baked yoyos for
me and my family. We
doubled the recipe so that
there were more yoyos for
everyone.

Leaf Venation

Yesterday my class and I went up the Karoro School bush track to examine the different shapes, sizes and outlines. We got to choose a buddy and I chose Billie. Billie and I chose to look for the venation in the leaf. We got to walk up to the top of the bush track to examine all of the leafs. Ventation means the shape of the vein inside the leaf.

Just To Say

Just To Say 

By William Carlos William and Summer Fahey

I have thrown crushed up chalk on the house and the windows. 

The chalks were pink

That were hard to wash off

And there was a lot of it on the house 

We were annoyed that we had to clean the windows

Probably not the best idea

Forgive me for doing it

It was extremely fun

So I got told off 

And so I will never do it again

Sea Week Poem

Sea Week Poem

An eel hides behind a rough rock

Fish start to flee like a flying flock

Sea birds dive deeply

Like yellow bees in a honey hive

Trying to get fish from behind. 

Driftwood drifts back to sea

Wood turns around at every degree.

Morning begins as birds fly sharply south

trying to fly into the sea mouth.

Statistical Investigation

Over the past 5 weeks we have been learning about statistic. One of our tasks for this was to do a statistical investigation. We had to find a buddy. My buddy was Indi. 

Scavenger Hunt

WALT understand earth systems for sea week. Context: moons, tides and ocean currents

Fact Card#1: How does water move on the surface of the ocean? The water in the ocean is constantly moving. On the surface water moves in the form of waves. 

Fact Card#2: How does water move below the surface of the ocean? The water in the ocean is constantly moving. Below the surface the water moves in great currents.

 Fact Card #3: What are the two types of ocean currents? The two currents are the surface current and the deep current currents

Fact Card #4: Define ocean currents. Ocean currents are moving streams of water within the ocean. 

Fact Card #5: Define the ‘surface current’. The surface current is where currents move on or near the surface of the ocean. There is a cold and a warm current. 

Fact Card #6: List the factors which control the surface currents. Three factors that control the surface currents are the air currents, earth's rotation and location of continents.

Fact Card#7: Which factors affect the flow of ocean surface water? Global wind belts are a major factor affecting the flow of ocean surface water. 

Fact Card#8: How are deep currents generated in the ocean? The difference in the water density due to the temperature gradient moves the water creates in the deep currents. 

Fact Card#9: Write down the characteristics of cold and warm water. Cold water is more dense and it sinks and moves. Warm water is less dense and it rises up. 

Fact Card #10: Which ocean currents travel faster? Surface currents travel much faster than deep ocean currents. 

Fact Card #11: Write the factors that cause the deep currents. Deep currents are caused by changes in the temperature, how salty the water is and the density of the water. 

Card #12: How do the Sun and the Moon cause the ocean.The gravitational pull of the moon and the sun is also an important factor to the force to cause the ocean currents. 

Fact Card #13: Give the definition of wave. A wave is a rhythmic movement that carries energy through matter or space.

Fact Card#14: What are the causes of waves? Waves are caused by wind, earthquakes and gravitational force of the moon and the sun

Fact Card#15: List the characteristics of a wave. The crest, through, wavelength, wave height, are parts of the wave.

Fact Card#16: Write the parameters on which the wave height is dependent. The wave height depends on the wind speed, distance over which the wind blows and the length of time the wind blows.

Fact Card #17: What happens during tide? The tide is a periodic rise and fall of the sea level under the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon.

Fact Card #18: What do you mean by high tide? High tide is when the water level is at its highest. 

#19: What do you mean by low tide? Low tide is when water level is at its lowest.

Fact Card #20: How does the Moon’s gravity pull ocean water? The moon's gravity pulls the water on the earth towards it. The water moves up into a slight bulge on the side of the earth that faces the moon.

Fact Card#21: What is the cycle duration of high/low tide? Generally one low tide/high tide cycle takes at every 12 hours and 25 minutes. 

Fact Card#22: Define tidal range. The difference in ocean level between the high tide and the low tide is called a tidal range.

Fact Card#23: When does spring tide occur? Spring tides occur when the earth, sun and the moon are in a line.

Fact Card #24: Which tides occur during full/new moon? Spring tides occur during  the full moon and the new moon.

Fact Card #25: When does neap tide occur? Neap tides occur when the moon and sun are perpendicular to each other. 

Fact Card #26: Which tides occur during the quarter moon? Neap tides occur during quarter moon and sun are perpendicular each other 

Fact Card #27: Which tides are known as weak tides? Why? Neap tides are weak tides because of the gravitation forces of the moon and the sun counteract each other tidal forces 

Fact Card#28: Which tides are known as strong tides? Why? Spring tides are strong tides because the moon and the sun's gravitational force combined to create a strong tide.

Today I was doing a book review about
