My typing progress

In Room Five I have been learning to type very fast and not look at the keys in my typing. Here is a screenshot of my typing so far.

My Why do we Have Chairs in the Classroom

My class has been learning to write an explanation. At the start of the term we wrote why we had chairs in an explanation and in it we had to include how chairs help us and what would happen if they weren't there. Here is my Why do we have Chairs in the Classroom?explanation.

What are Chairs?

At Awahono we have chairs in our classrooms. Chairs are furniture that you sit on and most of the time they have four wooden legs. We use them so that we are level with the tables. Chairs help us to focus, to not get a sore back and they help us be level with what we are doing.

How Chairs Help us Focus

The reason that we have and use chairs is because it lets us have a focused mind on what we are doing. If we didn’t have chairs we would be way less focused on what we are doing. With chairs we achieve much more  and it lets us get more work done in a time period.

Straight backs

When we sit on chairs we have straight backs which makes us feel better. If we are slumped down in our chairs  it is bad for our backs and it is more likely you will fall asleep. With a straight back you can have good work because you don’t fall asleep on what you are doing.

Why do we have chairs?

The reason that we have chairs is because it would be uncomfortable If we didn’t. We would not be level with what we are doing and we would not be focused. If we didn’t have chairs we would have to sit on the floor. If we did that we would get sore legs from laying on them so much.

Conclusion   

I think that if we didn’t have chairs in the classroom we would be a lot less focused and we would not have as good work as we have. If we did not have chairs we would have sore and tired legs every day and school would be way less enjoyable.         

My Pet Day Review

In my writing I have been learning to do a review and this week I have been writing about Pet Day. In my review I put some of the major events that happened on Pet Day like the work shops. Here is my Pet Day review.

What Is Pet Day     

Awahono’s last Pet Day was Friday 21  October 2016 and on Pet Day everyone got to bring their pets to Awahono School. We did Pet Day to let other people see other people’s pets. We did a lot of things on Pet Day and I am going talk about some of them.

When I got to Pet Day I went to look at the other animals. First, I looked at the calves and the first one I saw was a grown up cow! The owners of the cow said that it was tame so I got to go on its back and it felt bony  being on it because I had only been on a horse. Then I looked at the other calves which were normal, except for the last one which wouldn’t let me pat it’s head or any of it because it kept moving away. Next was the dogs, the first one was tiny and white and black, the second one looked tough but when I got closer he turned out to be a big softy and I could tell that he was happy. He kept on rubbing against me and and jumping on me and when I went away, he whimpered. The last one went on his back and we rubbed his tummy and his leg went back and forth.

Workshop 1

After break we had the first activity which in my case was outdoor activities. In outdoor activities we played games that always had a winner which I liked because I won a few of the games.

Workshop 2

After lunch it was time for the second activity which was when I went to cupcake making which I enjoyed very much because we got to put the toppings on the muffins. I enjoyed it especially because we got to eat them after.

Opinion

I enjoyed Pet Day because I got to meet everyone's pets and to do a lot of fun.  

My Dr Dischord Paragraph

In room five our teacher has bean reading us a book with a man called Dr Discord and when we learned about him we did a description about him and his surroundings. Here is one of the paragraphs of him, the reason that I have chosen this one is because it has a very good description of him.    

Dr Discord's job is to give people sound by mixing up the stuff in the bottles ( which is sound ) to make a potion which he gives to his patients. Dischord has a Dynne which he found in a soda bottle and took care of it, but then he placed it in a bigger bottle on his shelf. When one of his patients does not want to drink his potion he gives it to his Dynne for his meal. Dr Dischord has a white lab coat, some glasses on his nose and compared to his ears they are tiny and a giant mirror on his head.  

My Root Word DLO

In my spelling group we have been learning about root words. Root words are chunks of a word which mean something, like audi is a root word, but it is not a word, but it fits in one, like audible. Here is a DLO that I have made about root words.  

My Life Cycle of a Frog

In the past week I have written an explanation on the life cycle of a frog because I brought some tadpoles into the class. I had to write the stages from egg to frog plus an introduction and I had four paragraphs because there are four stages, egg, tadpoles, tadpoles with legs and frog. Here is my explanation about the life cycle of a frog.

The Life Cycle Of A Frog       

A frog is a very unique creature that is an amphibian and it has a very unusual life cycle. They have four different stages from egg to adult.

Stage One: Eggs  

When the frogs lay their eggs they are surrounded by a gel. The gel protects them from animals that want to eat them because at that stage they are very weak. At this stage they look like a tiny rock inside some clear rubber.During this stage, the egg is not considered to be a tadpole yet.

Stage Two: Tadpoles   

When the eggs hatch little tadpoles come out and start to eat all the algae in the pond or lake that they are in. When they have eaten all the algae they are big enough to eat dead carcasses that lie on the bottom of the mud. When they are at this stage they look like a bigger black stone with a turtle flipper coming out the end.

Stage Three: Tadpoles With Legs    

When the tadpoles get older they start to grow legs that help them swim. First the back legs come out and then the front legs. The legs help them grip onto things and swim through the water faster. When they are like this, they look like an even bigger black stone that has a flipper and some legs.

Stage Four: Adult frog    

When the tadpoles have grown all their legs they start to lose their tails and get a different look by changing their skin colour. When they have done that they go out of the water and go to find a frog to mate with and the stages all start again. At this final stage they look like a brown oval with legs and eyes.

Conclusion    

There are four stages that a frog has to go through to develop from frog spawn to a frog .
