Project:Composting and Worm farming

Picture

This term my group of Phoenix, Paerau and L.J Made this project. Our inquiry investigation question was What are earthworms and how do earthworms turn the soil and we also had to answer the questions so that we know about it.

First, we used the internet to research our topic. Then we constructed this project. I did the rain by using paper to make the rain and then after that I made it into a circle and made another circle to turn it into a rain then I glued it and taped it so it doesn’t come of.  We used paper, tape and glue for our project and we also painted our earthworms red and blue. Then after that we put the earthworms on the sides and we put the fruit scraps onto the bottom and we had to make a tunnel to show how earthworms turn the soil.

What was easy? What was difficult? Making the rain and earthworms was easy. Making the tunnel was difficult.

How did this help your learning? This helped my learning by learning facts about earthworms and how earthworms turn the soil because when my teacher asks me one fact about earthworms I will know one fact about it.

What would you like to investigate next? I would like to investigate about the same thing because I really liked learning about earthworms.

Prototec T3W10

I have gone backwards because I still need to learn my divisions and groupings within 100s. I need to move to stage 6 because I have been on stage 5 since term 1 and this is week 10. Next term I hope to move to stage 6 and the only way to move to stage 6 is to learn my division and groupings within 100s. My target is to get 100% on stage 5 to move to stage 6.I will also have to learn my division and grouping within 100s with my mum dad or my siblings.

Mathematics, E-asttle

Today we did our e-asttle test and it was reading and  I got a 3P and I have improved because some were very easy and it was that difficult. Yesterday when we did our maths test I got 2B because it was very difficult and not that hard for just a little bit hard for me.

Prototec T3W9

Today on my basic facts I got 65% on stage 5 I have not improved because I still need to learn my division and groupings within 100s everyday at home. My target is to get 100% on stage 5 to move to stage 6. This is week 9 and I am still on stage 5 the only way how I’m supposed to move to stage 6 is by practising and learning what I don’t know and I can also get my sibling or my mum or dad to help me with my maths. Next term I hope I get 100% so I can go to move from a stage 5 to a stage 6.

Prototec T3W8

From week 1 I have been on stage 5 and I am still on stage 5 I need to move on to stage 6.I have not improved my basic facts because I still need to work on my division and groupings within 100s and I will get better at it by practising my maths everyday at home. This is week 8 and I am still in stage 5 I need to move from stage 5 to stage 6. My target is to get 100% on stage 5 and then I can move to stage 6.

Tongan language week

Today is tongan language week and we are celebrating it by doing something in the hall this afternoon. Mrs Tuakoi has been coming to our class and taught noun tongan people how to say some tongan words like hello, thank you, I am fine thank you and other words. I think that they are getting better and better at it. And Mrs Tuakoi made Tongan food for the whole school to taste.

Birthday Boy: Setting

In Korea in 1951 there was a little boy at home and it was his birthday

and he wanted to be a solder so he found a screw and put it on

the railway track and a train came and made it like a magnet and he put it on his toy.

Prototec T3W7

I have not improved because I need to learn my groupings within 100s and division so I can get better at it. I need to move from a stage 5 to a stage 6 by practising at home every day. This is week 7 and I am still in stage 5. My target is to get 100% in stage 5 so that I can move to a stage 6.
