Auckland Zoo trip

                          Blogging about the Zoo 

                        Walt:Report,Recount and Reflect
When: On Thursday 14th June we got to school at a quarter to 9.
    
Where: We went to our school and waited till we got Auckland Zoo

What: As we got to the Zoo we had to wait and listen to the rules by a guide in the Zoo. We saw a lot of animals and some animals moved to new areas to live. 

Why: The reason why we went to the Zoo is because our topic for inquiry is about endangered NZ animals.

Who: There were some people in the Zoo that showed us animals around the Zoo and told us more about them. There were also some parents who were there to take care of us.
 

How:We got transported to the amazing Auckland Zoo by a double Decker bus which was so so high.










My favourite animal was the Meerkat because it was running and standing. When it was running, it was so fast. I thought it kinda looked like a stoat but in different colour. It was adorable and cute.

We also saw a Kea, our guide told us that the kea is smarter and cheekier than children. Our activity was to find all 4 keas, if we found all 4 of them then we are smarter.

We went to the bug lab it was so amazing because it was filled with games. My favourite thing in the bug lab was this hive, we had to rub very fast to make it hot. In the first try it was so hard because I rubbed very hard, but there was a hint to rub fast not hard.


Something I would have done better is to explore more of the places and do more games, but it was still amazing. My favourite animal in the Zoo would have to be the meerkat and the kea. The kea had beautiful feathers and the meekat was so cute.

Des hunt visits Waikowhai primary School

                                        Des hunt visits 
                                
Today des hunt visited our school with some  stuff and his wife Lynne. He showed us some of his books and introduce us a little about himself at first.One of the facts is that he's been a science and technology teacher for many years ,anther fact is that he had a pet cat  name puffy but she died,still there is a toy that can make a sound of a cat.he showed us with slideshows with pictures.He said that he was obsessed with chemistry when he was young ,so he done some experiments first one was very surprising  because he used a modified lighter and something.



My favourite part was when he used a balloon pump to blow up a balloon with a cat face,but he also had a eel balloon  that  was gonna burst.I liked this part because the cat was so cute with the face,but it was in a weird shape.I covered my ears because  the  eel balloon pop will explode loud like a elephant doing it's noise.



At the end we done a applause  and thank him for visiting us,he answered 2 questions and at morning tea,some students  bought some  money so they can buy one of the books.Lot's of students wanted to read a friend in paradise. 

                                     Hello Everyone

In maths we have been ordering fractions from smallest to biggest we had to answer them,there was a website so we can show what fraction was smaller and bigger,we could put them in how many parts we like and colours to make the fractions , at the end we had to come up with our own fractions and order them.I had my friend Jia helped me because I didn't really know what was smaller and bigger,she also said about something with the numbers to figure out what was bigger and smaller.
