For this week the letter of the week was J! I found it super hard t find a word with two J's in it and the word I found was sajji and it means something like a dish with chicken and other stuff and the word that ends with j was also hard to find but I found one and it was raj and it means rule or government! I found this week was tricky but fun!
This is my letter of the week! For this week the letter we had to do was T! It was super fun! I really enjoy the letter of the week because we have to do the work but then after we do the work we get to decorate a slide and then we have to put the words we did and what they are on it and we get to put pictures
Whetū Workshops Reflection
During Term 2 and 3 the Whetū students have had the opportunity to be involved in a range of different workshops.
The workshop that I have enjoyed participating in the most has been bean growing and chapter chat was probably my to favourites because bean growing it was a really cool experience and chapter chat I just really enjoy because this terms tasks are very creative!
The new learning that I have learnt is in bean growing because after we planted our beans we did some research on bean germination and how it works! Bean germination is basically how the bean grows! I have also learnt way more things in different workshops!
What I have most enjoyed about the workshops are probably getting to pick what you do and all the different cool options! I think one of the things I enjoy about them is knowing what I am going to do and knowing that I will enjoy it because I picked it! I like knowing what I am going to do and the way we do it I really like!
I am interested in learning more about animals and ants because I am really interested in how ant venom and thing like that work and what is in some of their venom that makes it so painful! I would also like to find out more about elephant because for some weird reason I am really interested in ants and elephants!
This is my pop art! For this times art, we did pop art! My group got to chose what they wanted to do so I chose to do eggs in a basket! It was super fun and we started off by drawing a plan in our art books of what we were going to do! Then we drew it onto a big piece of paper! After that, we coloured it in with pastel and then we put them up on the wall! It was super fun and I think I did good!
This is our inquiry! The big question was "should animals be kept in zoos" and we had to choose if we thought animals should be kept in zoos or not. I thought animals should not be kept in zoos because the reason one animal should be free and be able to live their own life with their own kind. Reson two many zoos are struggling financially and can not care for the animals properly. Reson three animals can become stressed from people banging on the glass and disturbing their peace. There are so many other reasons too. I found this really fun!
This week I chose to join the cooking workshop option!
On the first day, we went through the safety sheets and what to do and all the dangerous in the kitchen! We all so planned on how to make it and what veggies we were going to bring!
The second day we brought the veggies and peeled and chopped them! I brought a carrot that looked like it had been growing for thousands of years it was so big! It was hard to chop because it was so big!
The third day we put the veggies in the pot and cooked them for about three hours! Then we came back and ate it! It was super fun and yum!
The part I liked the most was eating the soup and cutting the veggies! I also liked doing the crossword we did if we had finished chopping our veggies!
It was so fun!
