Week 4 – Enviro Schools

During this week we have been working on 2 activities.  The first activity was we had to make a rubbish bin and then collect all our rubbish for a whole day.  We did this and we were surprised that some people collected lots of rubbish and some people didn’t have much at all.  We think we will need to do this activity again to see if this changes.

The next day, we went out to see how Papatuanuku handles rubbish. We found that all nature breaks down and gets composted.  We checked how warm the leaves were when we dug down and also checked for insects and things to see how things were breaking down.

 

We found many insects, and that all the leaves were breaking down to form compost.

Life Education Visit

We have been lucky to have Harold and Kelly at school  for the last few days.  We have been learning about bucket filing and bucket dipping.  We have learnt about things that we can do to fill people’s buckets and make them feel good and this makes us feel good.

We had to fill up two buckets or take from a bucket depending on what the action was.

On our second day, we did an activity that was called Monster, Mouse and Me.  We discussed what monster and mouse behaviour is and then what would be a best me.  Best me behaviour is help people, showing respect, and saying nice words.  We then had to put them into categories.

We had an awesome time with Harlod and Kelly in the Life Education classroom.  We look forward to seeing you next year.

 

 

Colour Poem – Etera

We had to plan and write a poem about a colour.  I chose black because it is my favourite colour.  I had to write my sentences and record my poem.  My favourite part was reading the sentences onto Canva.  Recording was hard because the little picture of me was in the way of the words.

Colour Poem – Lincoln

I had to choose a colour and I chose black because there are so many things that are black.  I have a little forest with blackberries so that is where I got those sentences from.  The hardest part was writing my sentences in my Google Doc.  Putting the pictures in was easy.  My favourite part to do was using copying and pasting the sentences into Canva.

What is blue by Albert

We first had to write four sentences about different senses.  Then we made the sentences about blue.  Next, we made it into our colour poem.  I chose blue because there are a lot of things around that are blue.  The hardest part was writing the sentences.  My favourite part was using Control C and Control V to copy my sentences into Canva.

Colour Poem – Lochy

First we had to pick a colour and I picked red because it is my favourite colour.  Then I did a plan on the Chromebook.  Then I wrote my sentences onto a Google Doc.  I went onto Canva and highlighted the sentences and copied them onto a Canva slide.  Then I put my pictures in.  I found it really hard doing the plan and the recording.  The plan was hard because the end three parts made it hard to think of a topic.  The recording was hard because I sometimes clicked on the next slide before I had finished speaking.  My favourite part was writing the sentence.
