Good Morning readers, today I have been doing a summer learning journey activity. On the summer learning journey there are new activities every week. Today I did the Art Colouring book. In the Art Colouring book there are different things that you can colour. I coloured space. It was really easy to do. When I was doing it, It only took me 3 minutes. Here is the photo of space. Here is the link to the Art Colouring Book.
I am a student in the Uru Mānuka Cluster. I am a Year 4 student and my teacher is Mrs Mclachlan. This is a place where I will share my learning. Please note that some of it will not be complete, it will be my first drafts. Remember to be positive, thoughtful and helpful when you leave me a comment.

Writing
Good afternoon readers today I will be showing you my writing. I have been writing about if we should open our borders to visitors. Then I had to pick between Positive or Negative. The topic we were given was that New Zealand should open their borders. I picked Negative, here is my writing. I hope you like it.
I think New Zealand should keep its borders shut to all visitors around the world who want to visit New Zealand. There are many reasons. One reason is more covid might come in and spread. Secondly, more people might come to New Zealand and it will become overcrowded. Lastly if more people come into New Zealand, they might bring covid 19 with them and we might go back into lockdown for a long time.
If people with covid 19 come into New Zealand they might spread the virus. When we have more people with the virus come into New Zealand they will be spending a lot of money to get tested. If more people come into New Zealand to visit, covid will spread around the country.
When people come into New Zealand it will become overcrowded. We do not want people from different countries to come to New Zealand because all the shops will be overcrowded and there will be a long line. If more people come into New Zealand, everyone who wants to go shopping for their families will have to wait a long time to get into the shop and then they will become very frustrated.
When people with coid come into New Zealand we will have to be in lockdown for a very long time. We do not want to be in lockdown because we might not be able to go shopping for food and things we need for our house. If we go into lockdown it means we will not be able to go to school to learn.
I think New Zealand should keep their borders closed because we do not want people to come and spread covid around, we do not want more lock downs. If New Zealand opens its borders then New Zealand will become overcrowded. So I think New Zealand should keep its borders closed.
What is your opinion on this topic?

Adjective word cloud
Hello readers, today I will be talking to you guys about adjectives. In class for reading my group have been working on a word cloud about adjectives. We have been reading a book called 'The Everything Anything Shop'. We had to find some adjectives in 'The Everything Anything Shop' and put them into a word cloud. Then we picked some colours for the word cloud. After we picked the colours we picked a shape, I picked a fire shape. Here is a photo of my word cloud. I hope you like it.

Athletics
Good afternoon readers. Today I will be telling you about Athletics.
Today all the year five girls will be doing High Jump, Sprints and Shot Put. I don't like High Jump because you have to run and jump up and try to get over the bar. I don't like it because it is really hard when the teacher puts it up higher it gets harder.
I really like Sprints because some times you get to verse the teacher. You can also verse anyone you want to if they want to verse you. I really like versing the teacher.
Shot Put is really fun. I like collecting the balls and giving them to people after I have had a turn throwing the ball.
I hope you are having a good day, Bye.

Waterpark writing
Today I will be telling you about my waterpark writing. Here is how you write a present tense story.
1. Make sure it is present tense.
2. Use your 5 senses ( feel, taste, hear, see and smell)
3. Make sure you do paragraphs.
4. Do at least 4 or 3 sentences in each paragraphs.
Here is my story.
I hope you like it.
The squealing sounds of excited children fill the air. Ahhhhh the sound of children screaming as they are flying down the slide, my ears start to hurt.
Different smell of food whoop through the air and up my nose. Powerful smells make my stomach rumble.
Kids splashing in the water get me soaking wet. Pool water making waves, caused by kids jumping off the diving boards.
The cold breeze went into my mouth and made my teeth freeze. Chlorine whoop through the air and into my mouth, it tasted like sea salt from the ocean.

Photosynthesis
Hello welcome back to my blog. Today I will be telling you about photosynthesis. Do you think if humans and animals can eat should plants eat too? Well he answer to that is yes. Plant's should eat. But they make their own food. When we breath out carbon dioxide, the plant's suck it in and breath out oxogen. If you want to know more look at the poster. Bye. Please make sure to comment, only if you want to. Friday, May 21, 2021
