It reminded us a little bit of the food pyramid except it is about how kids learn best. We learnt that the best way to make sure you've learnt something is to teach it to someone else. We had a go at this today in maths. We are teaching others about finding a fraction of a set. This is our first attempt at being maths teachers so please leave us a quality comment so we can improve our skills. Check out our videos!</b></span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Waka Whanake are <span style="color: lime;">GROWERS!</span> </span></b></div>
<br />
We spent a bit of time with our friends Harold the Giraffe and Liz from Life Education and we learnt a lot about the stuff we fuel our bodies with..<span style="color: lime;"><b>.FOOD!</b></span>
Here's a summary of what we learnt:
We learnt about the food pyramid. At the bottom is all the food that grows in the ground. We can eat lots of these foods.
The next part of the food pyramid is all the food that comes from animals and we can still eat these foods every day but not as much as fruit and vegetables. The top part of the food pyramid is food that is made in a factory. These are treats and we can have these sometimes.

came and helped some enthusiastic gardeners in your class vegetable garden at
lunchtime. What wonderful kids you are to be learning how to grow your
own vegetables. We weeded all the garden and I found a weed called
Oxalis, and we had to be really careful to get all the little bulbs out with
the soil still around the roots, as it will spread easily if the bulbs are left
in the ground. We also put this weed into the rubbish bin, not the
compost, as the compost won’t break down the bulbs and it will spread to other
areas of the school when the compost is put onto those gardens. We have
also put some stakes in to help the tomatoes and the peas grow taller, and
don’t forget to water the garden every day if it doesn’t rain. After
that, we were wondering what we should plant next. It is autumn now, and
we could get some things planted that will be ready to eat in winter.
What do you think would be good to plant? Let me know if you need anymore
help with the garden.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">On Tuesday it was audio conference time. We used a funny machine called a Polycom. It works just like a giant speaker so we could all hear what was happening. We all had different jobs during the audio conference. Some of us had to ask the questions and some of us had to take notes. All the schools in New Zealand could've tuned in to listen to us if they wanted! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We learnt so much from the audio conference! Check it out...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">These pieces took a long time and we put a lot of hard work and care into creating them! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We used watercolour paint for the blue background. While we waited for that to dry, we painted newspaper green and ripped it into pieces to make it look like lake weed. We also painted pieces of paper with brown, purple and black and then laid glad-wrap over the top to make it look like it had creases and cracks, just like rocks. We ripped these up into small pieces and glued them to the background. Next we sketched a trout in pencil and smudged charcoal with our fingers to create shading. After cutting these out, Miss Fraser sprayed them with hairspray which stops the charcoal from smudging any more. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">What was the best part of our Trout Art? What did you find really challenging? </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We discovered that the water cycle starts with the sun. The sun heats up water and the water turns into water vapour (which is just like hot air). The water rises. This is called evaporation. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When the water rises, it cools down and the water vapour changes back to water. This is called condensation. When the water joins together, it forms clouds. When the clouds get too heavy, the water falls back to the ground like rain. This is called precipitation.</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Miss Fraser showed us an example. She boiled the jug. As the water became hotter, some water vapour started rising up. Miss Fraser and Luke held a bowl over the top of it. The water vapour filled the bowl then it turned back to water and stuck to the sides of the bowl. When enough water had collected, it started dripping down the sides because it got too heavy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We also watched this video which helps explain all the tricky words like evaporation, condensation and precipitation.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">With a buddy we made our own water cycles in a zip lock plastic bag. If you want to make one at home, here is what you need to do...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><strong><u>Materials:</u></strong></span><br />
<strong><u><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></u></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">zip lock plastic bag</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">vivid/sharpie</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">piece of scrap paper (to draw your plan)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">water</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">blue food colouring</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">sellotape</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><strong><u>Method:</u></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">1. Draw a picture of the water cycle on a scrap piece of paper. When you are happy with it, draw it onto your plastic bag with a vivid.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">2. Mix two drops of food colouring with 1/4 of a cup of water and pour into your plastic bag.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">3. Make sure it is sealed tight!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">4. Sellotape your bag to the window in a sunny spot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Wait and see what happens...</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Using our e-learning skills and a fantastic app called </strong></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Aurasma</strong></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>, Miss Fraser recorded us reading our poems. </strong></span><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;">You need to download the Aurasma app to view the videos. Here is a link to the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/aurasma-lite/id432526396?mt=8">Apple app</a> or the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aurasma.aurasma&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5hdXJhc21hLmF1cmFzbWEiXQ..">Google Play app</a>. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Once you have downloaded Aurasma, click the triangle menu button at the bottom of your screen.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Then click the magnifying glass button and search "Waka Whanake". Select to "follow" us.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Click the square viewfinder button on the bottom of your screen (the one in the middle) and hover your device over the pictures below. Make sure the whole picture is in the frame and there is no glare or shadows on the picture. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;">In a few seconds, the video should start. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Good Luck and happy watching!</span></strong><br />

Mrs Wills organised lots of great events to get us all thinking and acting enviro friendly. One of the challenges was to create an outfit out of recycled goods. Here are some of the amazing entries from Waka Whanake...<br />

We thought it was a fantastic book and it made us think about the importance of pets in our lives. They make great companions!

My aunties puppy barks at people to keep his family safe. Her puppy always wants to play. If you don't play with him he will get all sad and lonely but if you do play with him he will follow you.</span></div>

He is so important.</span></div>

allergies so this is good for us. My sisters and cousins all love this cake.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">To
make my special cake Granny and I made the flan first, I beat the eggs with a
beater and added the sugar then we added the flour, it is quite hard to fold
the flour into the egg mixture but it just takes practise. We put it in the
oven for 10 minutes when it was brown Granny took it out because it was too hot
for me and she turned onto a cake rack to cool. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mrs Mason, Miss Fraser and Whaea Tracey showed us a picture of a pie chart and we brainstormed all the things we NOTICED about the pie chart and all the things we WONDERED. See our ideas below...</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next, we were given fraction pieces to explore. We tried to see what different combinations we could use to make a 'whole' and discovered which pieces were halves, quarters, thirds, fifths and even twelfths! </span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana;">One of our 'wonderings' was whether we could learn to make our own pie chart? So watch this space...</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />

Today we had a visit from Graham from Taupo Hockey Club. He came to teach us some hockey skills. First we learnt how to hold the stick correctly - left hand at the top of the stick and right hand on the tape halfway down. He showed us how to strike a hockey pose with our legs bent. Next we practiced dribbling the ball. Graham told us to think of the ball as a puppy on a leash! It was important that we didn't let our 'puppy' (the ball) run away from us.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We played a game called traffic lights where we needed to dribble the ball at different speeds. Next we played Rob the Nest hockey styles which was madness but plenty of fun! We finished the lesson with mini games of hockey against each other. Miss Fraser and Mrs Mason were extremely impressed with our skills!</div>

action! There were very different and creative ideas. </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some of our plans worked really well and other plans needed
changing. In the end, we all made it across to the other side of the hall. Back
in class we reflected on our plans. We thought about what worked well, what
didn’t work so well and what we would do differently next time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We learnt that you have to listen to everyone in your team and make sure everyone gets the chance to share their opinion. We also learnt that the first idea isn't always the right idea so we have to negotiate and modify our plans. </span></div>
