My Goals For This Year!

These are my goals for Maths, Reading, Writing! I'm am trying my best to achieve these goals, then aim higher.

Bugs, Worms, Compost And More!

Not long again our school was provided with an opportunity to visit Auckland's Botanical Garden. This gave us a chance to support our known knowledge and increase our facts about gardening. We had an opportunity to walk and look around to inspect plants more closely. We were given a paper task to make us explore other plants around the area. Once we finished adventuring/learning ourselves around the gardens, we were escorted to a education building with a Botanical instructor.

Room 8’s topic was about, how to keep our garden safe from pests. We had to complete tasks about our topic. Then we created an organic potion, to defend our garden against bugs. Next we got taught how to attract helpful creatures into our garden to help and protect our plants. During and after the teaching we gained our knowledge about protecting our garden. We can now use our knowledge and skills to be treated. This increases the benefit and protection in our garden.

A Chef's Choice!


Today we had some Apple Crumble. Ingrid and Ella made Apple Crumble, using Ingrid’s recipe. We only had a small spoonful, but with that came sweet and scrumptious flavour. I would recommend eating this with nice, cold Ice-Cream. Here is Ingrid's recipe for the Heavenly Apple Crumble: LINK

8 Legged Beasts!

I am learning to identify key ideas and use them to write an information report.

Spiders are part of the Arachnid family. They come in different shapes and sizes but all in common, they all have 8 legs.
Not all spiders have a venomous bite. By injecting fangs into their victim, and releasing venom that's how they release their toxin to kill or warn prey. The Brazilian Wandering Spider is the most deadliest of all the Arachnids. Their bite can cause severe pain, which is enough to kill a full grown elephant. Spiders never attack unless threatened. Standing and showing their fangs, is a way of defense.

The biggest spider is the Goliath Birdeater. They eat not just birds but larger animals their size. Some female spiders can lay over 4000 eggs during birth. The special feature on a spider is that, they have hairs on their body, which can sense any movement.

There are over 40,000 species of spiders. Spiders can be located in every continent except Antarctica. They all have a vital part in the eco-systm.
