In Te Maunga we have been doing science. We learnt how to make a science board and I learnt how to make a rubber band car out of rubber bands, ice block sticks and lots of tape. The one thing I liked doing was all the little experiments. I learnt that you always have to use a hypothesis when you are starting an experiment.
Kia ora! I am a year 4-5 student in Te Maunga at Paihia School, New Zealand. My teachers are Mrs Pou and Mr Ngata.

Nanogirl
In Te Maunga we went to see Nanogirl. We learnt about science. The one experiment I liked was the toilet paper one when she got a leaf blower and got two people to hold the stick and she blew the toilet paper around. I learnt that you always have to look at what the dangers are before doing a dangerous experiment.

Matariki
In Te Maunga we have been learning about Matariki. I learnt that Matariki is a cluster not a consolation and there are only 500 stars but six or seven can be seen with the naked eye or a telescope. One thing I liked doing was the rock painting because I got to make a special rock with my nans names on the rock. I learnt about plaiting the string for the poi.

Team Building
In Te Maunga we did team building. We learned how to work as a team. For team building we get into a group, then we get an activity to do and then we would have to work together to finish the activity first or the fastest. The one thing I liked doing was the hula hoop game. I learnt if you work together and do the activity fast then you will win a prize.

Kora Sea Creatures
In Te Maunga We did our sea Creatures Reading. We learned about all kinds of different sea creatures. First we had to do our four slides then we had to do report writing. After our report writing we had to do a fact file. My favorite part was doing my fact file. I want to learn more about sea animals.
Kora Hauora
In Te Maunga we did our Hauora reading. We learned to use subheadings, write quotes and to use information to answer questions. For our Hauora we first had to do our slides then we had to do our poster and a Scratch animation and then an explanation. The one thing I like learning was doing my explanation. I want to eat healthier.
