This week we have been told to make a poem so I made a poem that gives information about a shape and the shape that it is telling you about is the shape of the poem. Link To Poem
Recently our math has changed from algebra to time and we have been given the task to see how much time is in between two different times. This next information is how a clock works to make the math easier.
A clock is like a circle that helps us tell time. It has two hands that move:
The Short Hand: This is the hour hand, and it tells us the hour. It moves slowly from one number to the next. When it points to a number, that’s the hour we’re in. For example, if it points to the 3, it’s 3 o’clock
The Long Hand: This is the minute hand, and it moves faster. It goes all the way around the clock every hour.
Together!
So the hour hand tells what hour it is, and the minute hand tells how far into that hour we are.
This week for R.E we have been given the task to write about a saint and I have chosen to write about St Michael.
Below is the google drawing that I have the information on. I think St Michael is a very important saint because he defends people from evil spirits.
In reading we have been doing a novel study and I have chosen to read the book holes.
We had to make a slideshow and answer questions about the book. The slideshow below shows what I have done.
I have really enjoyed reading the whole book and I think the story was something I might read again.
Have You Ever Read Holes?
This week for literacy we have been given the task of creating something that can help a paralympian so I chose to make a devise for a leg amputee for swimming. My Idea was to put a waterproof flipper on the foot part so that they could go faster. the flipper can also be easily taken off and swapped for a normal foot so that the amputee has a 2 in 1 leg. it will also be able to move just like a normal human leg.
This week we had to create an artwork for Mary so I used pixel art to create my art.
It has the sun in the top left corner a cloud in the top right corner a light with gradient coming down from the sky with Mary and a halo levitating above the mounds below.
Have you ever used pixel art?
When I created a mascot, Olympic torch, and Olympic medal for New Zealand, I decided to use an AI image generator to bring my ideas to life. I wanted these designs to capture the feeling of New Zealand and its natural beauty, so I started by giving the AI the key elements like the flag of New Zealand and the little blue penguin we’re known for. For the mascot, I thought of something that was cute and is native to New Zealand. The AI helped me craft a character inspired by the little blue penguin, blending it with a realistic, cartoonish vibe.
When it came to the Olympic torch, I wanted it to have something to do with New Zealand so the AI generator put the New Zealand flag behind. The Olympic medal was the final piece, and I knew it had to be special. I guided the AI to combine elements of ferns and still making it look like something that someone could make, using symbols that come deeply with our national personality. The result was a medal design that truly reflects New Zealand’s ferns. It was fascinating to see how the AI could take my ideas and make them into something that feels like New Zealand. To Be Honest this took many times to make it good and not give the Olympic symbol 7 stars or give the flag 9 red stars.
Yesterday my mum and I went to NACH ( Northlands Animal Care Hospital ) because my cat Toffee had an appointment for 2 vaccinations.
In the morning we didn’t let Toffee outside because otherwise she would be long gone and we wouldn’t be able to capture her in her cage. As soon as we got her in the cage we got into the car and went off to the vet. As we entered the building we were greeted by a nice lady that told us that they had many dogs waiting for their check-up so she gave us a blanket to put around her cage so she wouldn’t see the dogs and get scared. Toffee was trembling because of the sad-ish cry’s of a dog in the back and then it was finally our turn after waiting an extra 15 mins for the vet. when we got into the room the vet talked a bit and then brought out some eye drops to see if Toffees nose was blocked. she skillfully put the red drops in Toffees eyes and said it should come to her mouth and nose as a green colour. The vet then opened Toffees small mouth and it has greeny-yellow so that was fine. Next she got the vaccinations for Toffee and jabbed her and then asked if we had any other thing we needed done to Toffee or if we had any issues and my mum said that last time we went the vet checked out Toffees teeth so the vet checked and said that Toffee had some tartar on her right side of her mouth and said that we can get it removed so my mum said yes and we later got Toffee back from the vet and we got told not to let her out until tomorrow because she might still feel sleepy after the anesthesia.

Question: Has Your Pet Ever Been To The Vet For 4 Hours Or More?
In Term 2 Week 8 We Went On A Trip To The Groynes.
First we saw some of the Groynes (A bunch of concrete and rocks that had hardened up inside of a bag and the bags had disintegrated). Next we walked on a wobbly bridge to get to the other side of a river. After that we looked at some of the vegetation and then went water bug catching and played a game about the food chain.

Cassowaries are large, flightless birds native to the tropical forests of New Guinea, nearby islands, and northeastern Australia. Recognized for their striking appearance, they have glossy black feathers, vivid blue skin on their neck and head, and a prominent casque atop their head, which is used for pushing through dense vegetation. Cassowaries are solitary and shy, but they can be dangerous when provoked, capable of delivering powerful kicks with their strong legs and dagger-like claws. These birds play a crucial role in their ecosystem as “keystone species,” aiding in seed dispersal for many rainforest plants, thanks to their fruit-based diet. Despite their ecological importance, cassowary populations are threatened by habitat destruction, vehicle collisions, and dog attacks. Conservation efforts are essential to protect these fascinating and vital birds, ensuring the health and diversity of their rainforest habitats.
