Comparative and Superlative

Today for writing, we were learning the comparative and superlative words. We did a few words, but I decided to use the word angry. The comparative word for angry, is angrier and the superlative word for angry is angriest. I found some pictures to show those three words. 

Tech

Today the year eights had food tech. We made chicken kebabs and potato salad. I worked in a group of three, with Harlem and CJ. First, we had to do things like cut the chicken in pieces. Other ingredients included: Potatoes, spring onion, bacon, egg and salad dressing At the end, once we finished cleaning up, we tried our food. It was delicious!  

E-Ako Maths

Today, we played this maths game called e-ako maths. Every time you get a question correct, you get a point. If you get a certain amount of points, you get a trophy. I got a trophy for getting 100 points.

What is a river?

For inquiry, my partner Fraidoon and I created a DLO about what we learnt about rivers. My partner  and I first watched a video about what a river is. Then we wrote a short explanation (It had to be 25 words) about  our learning on rivers. After that, we found a image of the Tamaki river. We put in arrows and text boxes showing the features that the river has, like the source, mouth and more. 

Water Testing

Here is a DLO that AJ and I created a DLO of the water testing we did with Sally. We tested some liquids like Coke and Bike cleaner. We learnt that liquids like coke, which are very acidic, are bad for fish.

Tech

Today for tech, the year eights had food tech. We made these cupcake like things (Bread as the base and spaghetti on top). We worked in groups of twos and threes and at the end, when we tasted it, it was very delicious. A very big thanks to Mrs Heka for helping us create it.

The Water Cycle

For inquiry, my group created a DLO about what the water cycle is (I was in a group with Lyndon and Sa Kae). We learnt that the water in oceans and lakes/rivers get burnt by the sun and turn into water vapour. The water vapour goes up into the sky where it turns into water droplets (Which gather together). Those water droplets are clouds and once the clouds are too full, it rains. The rain then goes into the oceans, lakes/rivers and the process starts again.   

Futsal

Today LS2 had futsal for kiwi sport. We learnt that futsal is like soccer, but with a few differences. We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the session. I think that futsal is a fun and a awesome game.
