Enviro Action day

Enviro Action day

On Wednesday all of the classes in Wainui Beach School did something to help the environment or the School because it is helping us learn about sustainability.   

My classes thing was to clean 600 meters of the beach and back. My group of three found 257 pieces of rubbish on the beach.  After counting we sorted them into piles. Like bottle caps and  plastic bags etc. 

After that we had lunch and 20 minutes after lunch I went to chop up kelp for 40 minutes. So that is what we did for Enviro Action Day term 2 week 5 2021.  

My quick write this week

 This week I did a persuasive quick write in my book. I did mine about why we should have a three day holiday.

 I thought we should have a three day holiday because it would be more fun because you would hang out with your friend more and have sleepovers. You would also be more relaxed on the three day holiday. You could go to so many places in three days. That's why I think we should have a three day holiday.

Little blue penguin

 Learning about Little Blue Penguin

Part of this term me and my class have been learning about little blue penguin. I have learnt so much about them. I have learnt that little blue penguins population is  approximately 350-600,000.  Also, did you know little blue penguin are the smallest kind of penguin? Here is a picture of one.🐧

Little blue penguin have an average lifespan up to 6-7 years, but they can live up to 25 years.

 Do you know anything about little blue penguin?

Four times tables

L3 times tables 

This week, my group and I were working on our four times tables. My group was called level three number. We started learning four times eight and other ones, like four times nine. After we worked on our times tables we did division. I was very comfortable doing it because I had already done division last year. There were four questions. I finished mine in two minutes, and my friend finished ten seconds after. My times tables will help me when I'm older and in everyday life. So that is what we learnt this week in our level 3 number group.

Recapping on our times tables.

 Recapping on our times tables

This week we learnt a bit more about our times tables. We worked on our 4, 6, 9 times tables for half an hour and played a times table game too. So basically there should be 3 people and over. You also have to pick what times tables you are going to do. There is a person who has a whole deck of cards in their hand and puts a card down. You have to figure out the answer. So let's say the number is two and the number you picked is nine so it would be two times nine. So that is what we learnt this week.  

Week 7!!!!

 On week 7 the year Six's went to Camp Kaitawa and there were only year fives in the class. We wrote a  slide about what we did that week. That week we played so many games and we had so much fun.

The earthquake

Rubble rumble! The ground shook.  My eyes flew open and I stumbled to my feet. I ran to my Mum and Dad's room but they were already awake. I asked them what just happened. They said 'it was a earthquake' I was shocked when I heard that, and ran to wake my brothers up. After that I ran to get my dog from his crate. While I was putting my dog in the car, my mum called Grandmother and my Aunt. 

When everyone got in their cars, we drove out of Wainui. There were three separate cars. My mum decided we should all go to my cousin's house and sleep there.  I found it hard to sleep at two in the morning, so I stayed up the whole night.

The next morning I went downstairs to eat breakfast. After breakfast we drove to school. 20 mins later I got pulled out of school. My Dad told me we were going back to my cousin's house. When my Dad and I got there I sprinted up to the gaming room to play rocket league. At 1:00 that afternoon all the warnings were canceled and I drove back home with my family.  

After all that I was so relieved that my family and I got back home safely.
