Maths- Weight.




We are learning with balances for maths. And this is what we have measured . We have measured the big stamp. We have been on the scales. If they have a dice and a cup the cup will be the heaviest. It's side will be down and the other will be up.

Hannah's Favourite Food.

My favourite food is from the fruit family. It feels like the back of a butterfly. When you eat it the juice dances around your mouth. What is it?

Ruby B's Favourite Food.

My favourite food is brown. Inside the middle it is white . It doesn't come from New Zealand.Inside it has got a type of milk. It grows on a palm tree. It also grows in a hot country. It is hard. You can eat it raw. Can you guess my favourite food?

Topic




We are talking about healthy eating. We talked about fuel. We talked about the junk fuel and good fuel. When you eat your food it goes down your throat and into your stomach.It goes into the blood and gives you energy and things your body needs.

Erin's Samoa Story.

In Samoa it is boiling hot. So hot that most of the people in the country wear lava-lavas.The houses are not like yours and mine, they have no walls because its' too hot to have walls so when they need privacy or want dark they just pull down big blinds.On special occassions they'll'have an umu.The buses are different as well because they're brightly coloured. Inside the buses its' decorated and its' not the bus company's choice how to decoraet the bus it's the drivers choice.The bus driver has an assistant. You don't pay when you get on the bus you pay when you get off. Pigs chickens and other animals can come on too.The people don't sleep on beds they sleep on flax mats. An that's Samoan life.
