ANZAC day

On the 25th of April each year it is ANZAC day.
I researched that :

  • The ANZAC'S were the Australian and New Zealand soldiers.
  • The place where ANZACS landed was later renamed ANZAC cove
  • ANZAC biscuits were invented nearly 100 years ago
I hope you have learnt lots from my 3 facts.

Caves assessment

This is my diagram of waitomo caves. The purpose of this is to show what we knew about caves. The part on the left is what I knew before the trip. The part on the right shows what I knew after the trip.
Do you think I learnt a lot?

This term I have enjoyed swimming because I learnt how to swim freestyle correctly. I also enjoyed the house fun day because I was in the house that won the shield. I am proud of how well I can recall my times tables.

My goals for next term are:
  • getting to school faster
  • finishing work on time

Crystal flower experiment



On Tuesday the class started making crystal flowers. I touched mine after two days and the paper towel felt hard. I think it felt hard becuase the salt water has dried up.

We filled our container with salty water that was coloured with dye.

Glowworm presentation





I presented my glowworm facts to the class.Here is a video of my presentation.I think I did well with eye contact. I still need to work on speaking louder so the audience can hear me.

Swimming reflection

In swimming I can swim freestyle with breathing well. I need to work on my breaststroke by practising at home in my pool. I also achieve this by moving my legs correctly and increase my fitness because I always get tired.

I liked tabloids because I got to spend time with my friends and I got to compete against other teams. My team was good at looking after the Juniors.

Maths

My graph shows that room7's favourite movies are family and horror movies. It also shows nobody likes emotional movies. I think people in Room 7 don't know what horror movies are.
