This term for Topic we are going to be learning about different animals and their Evolution.

There are 2 different types of animals 1.Vertebrate( Vertebrates are animals with spines) 2. Invertebrates

(Which are animals without a spine).

Animal Classification.

Animal Classification

Today we learned about how animals are classified into groups. Animal are either vertebrates (which means they have a spine) or invertebrates (which don't  have spines).

Invertebrates are animals like jellyfish, crabs, insects, and octopus.

Vertebrates are put into five groups. They are mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and a amphibians.

Mammals have fur or hair and give birth to live young. Birds have feathers and lay hard eggs. Reptiles are cold-blooded and lay soft eggs. Amphibians breathe through their skin and need to keep their skin moist. Fish breathe through gills and have fins

5 of each type:

Mammals: Pigs, Wolf, Manatee, Deer, Camel.

Birds: Owl, Duck, Rooster, Ostrich, Eagle.

Reptiles: Tortoise, Lizard, Snakes, Dinosaurs, Gekos

Amphibians: Tomato frogs, Mudpuppy, Western lesser siren, Alligator newt, Frogs

Fish: Stingrays, Shark, Swordfish, Blobfish, Mahi-mahi.

Maori Words.

In Maori we learnt how to say and use the manners, expressions and vocabulary. We started to practiced to say conversations and tried to use the words in the conversations. We also learnt the things we should do and thing we shouldn't do at the marae. Overall the conversations me and my partner had were so fun and hard but mostly I enjoyed learning the different Maori words.

Matariki competition

For Matariki Stardome is holding a competition. The competition is all about Matariki. All you have to do is draw a picture of what you think the Seven Stars look like to you. For my picture I wanted the background to be Galaxy and I drew 7 Stars. Everyone in my class drew Amazing and Creative pictures. It will probably a hard decision to make.

Maori Words and Colours

In Maori we learnt some compliments you could use. We also learnt instructions like run,jump and many more. We also learnt all the colours of the Rainbow. Hopefully we could use these these compliments and colours some day.

Why We Need Water.

In Topic our class got into groups and made or own posters about why we need water?.

In my group we all wrote a little sentence about how water is good for us and why we need water?

We each got to draw something on the poster.

In my group we had Me,Tupou,Po'oi and Molly H. For the poster Molly wanted a baby to be in it so I drew a baby Girl for her. She also drew some hearts for her baby.

Healthy Eating.

In Room 5 for Health/Topic we have been learning about healthy eating and Why Vegetables and Fruits are good for us. We learnt what a balanced diet looks like and how it will make us feel.



For shared lunch we each had to bring
something that was healthy. The item I brought were some Asian Pears,Yogurt with different flavours,Golden Kiwifruits and Mandarins.

Matariki Stars.

For Matariki our class had decided to do something nice for Matariki. First we had to pick 5 of the Matariki sisters for each separate star. For my Star I chose Ururangi, Waiti, Waita, Tupuanuku and Tupuarangi. They were very interesting to learn about especially because I didn't know much about them when I had started.

What do we meaning by Saving Work?

In R.E we did a mini comic strip about someone helping another person especially when they are nervous and shy. In my comic strip the main character (Tutu) had ripped her pants then someone (Ruru) saw and gave her his jumper so Tutu can cover herself. When Tutu went and changed to different pants they became best friends. We wrote this so we can start trying to follow in God's footsteps.
