Mult Egg Carton

 

Today i made a multiplication egg carton game to practice my multiplication.

I enjoyed making the title because you could add heaps of colour and add what ever you want.

I found it difficult to rip off the label on the egg carton because it was sticky. 

animal art

Today we were making animal art work for our art exhibition because our school is saving up for money to go to camp.

I found it difficult to paint around the nose and eyes because i couldn't paint over the eyes and nose  or get to close to it.

I enjoyed shading the nose and eyes because i have only done shading a couples of time before and i wanted to do it again. 

next time i would do a cat not a dog because I want to try do a different animal. 

African Elephants facts

   

Today I was making a poster about Elephants facts because we are writing a report about animals.

I found it difficult to find where to put the facts because there wasn't much room to put them 

I enjoyed finding facts about elephants because there my favourite animal and iv always wanted to know more about them.

next time i would add more detail because there wasn't much detail. 

African Elephants

African Elephants are mammals which means they are warm blooded and herbivores so they are plant eaters. Loxodont africana is there scientific name. The 2 species of African Elephant are Savannah/Bush and Forest Elephant. A family of Elephants contains females, their babies and other female Elephants. The male Elephants live on there own or live with other males. Female African Elephants are called cows, Male Elephants are called bulls and baby Elephants are called Calves. There used to be over 120,000 African Elephants but now there are 600,000 to 700,000 African Elephants. 

African Elephants can weigh up to 2.5 to 7 tons and 12 to 24 ft in length. Their trunks can make heaps of noises, not just trumping noises. The trunk has the most muscles. Also have huge tusk to hunt for predators. In their body they have over 40,000 muscles. They have huge teeth, there molars will grow six times in a lifetime and grow 10 to 12 inches long and weigh more than 3.6 kg. 

African Elephants can live in multiple places mostly found in sub saharan Africa. Some are found tropical and subtropical places, dry lands and by water holes. Water holes give them access to water so they can drink water and have water baths. 

African Elephants can live up to 70 years or older. With there tunk they can do heaps of things like dig holes, bath them. When African Elephants greet each other they touch trunks. When they're happy, joyful, excited or ready to fight they make grunting noises. In their lifetime they make 70 sounds and 160 signals. The noise that they make the most is a trumpeting noise. When a baby african elephant is born they weigh up to 120 kgs, they in there mums tummy for 22 months till it is born. 

Some Elephants have been extinct and I think elephants should not be extinct because they are innocent creatures and deserve better than they get.

Rugby Touch Photo Collage

 

Today we were learning how to play touch rugby with Turanga Health because we can learn different skills from playing it and put it in to different sports and so we can be active so we are healthy and strong.

I enjoyed playing the actual game because you get to play against your friends. And defending the other players I have improved with my side stepping to defend  

I found it difficult to trying to get the ball because everyone else was holding it. 

Next time I would start talking more to try get the ball so i have a chance of trying to score a try.  

I found the image off room two learning hub in photos. Next I took a screenshot and inserted it into blog.
