Quick Write! What am I?

What Am I ?


Today I am describing a fruit or a vegetable without saying the name of the fruit or vegetable! 
What am I ? I am round and I sometimes come in the color red sometimes in the color green.
I am a fruit and a lot of people like to eat me. When I’m green I’m sour when I’m red I’m sweet
and juicy. You can have me in a pie or a sponge you can make juice out of me and you can
eat me dry. I grow trees and when you pick me off a branch of the tree I have a little stick on
the center of the top of my head pointing up. I also don’t smell like much. People who have
odontophobia wouldn’t really eat me when I am solid.

Guess What I am in the comments section!!

Task Description - Before getting into our writing our teacher Ms Tapuke gave us a warm up. We had to describe a fruit or a vegetable in 5 minutes without saying the name of the fruit or vegetable. I did edit some bits and added on after the five minutes was up.

The Tree Of Life.

This is the tree of life.
We learnt that in 1835 Charles Darwin discovered that all living things are connected. Animals change over millions of years ago, so they can survive. Things at the bottom of the tree came before the things at the top.

Special Visitors


Task Description ~ Guess what ? Team 5 had special visitors from Rotuma, Rotuma is just above Fiji. They are a dance company called Rako Pasefika. We had two really good sessions with Rako Pasefika in less than 2 hours. Samuela Tauvake lead the 2 sessions we had and taught us Rotuma's culture, traditional dance and their language. This was such an awesome oppurtunity to learn their traditional dance necause they flew all the way from Rotuma just to teach us beautiful kids.

Around The World


Our Task was to create a digital learning object (D.L.O) We had to draw our backgrounds
on the Hyper studio, Hyper studio is like an app on the i mac's where you can draw, trace and animate. I only had enough time to draw 2 landmarks. When we inserted our drawings onto scratch we had to find a sprite (character) to code. Like how I chose the brown bear, and then I made it move to where I wanted to go. While I was coding I had to record a voice over, I explained some facts about the landmark and where the landmark is located in the world.

Daring Decimals


Its the last week of school and we learnt how to convert decimals and how to add
and subtract decimals.  We also learnt how to change a fraction into a decimal then 
into a percentage or a decimal into a fraction then to a percentage.
