Term 1 & 2 Proud Moments

Term 1 Proud Moment: Master Chef

Last term I was really proud when we raised over $600  over kahikatea after we made the lunches.
The lunches we came up from our class  mini pavs, lemon curd, cookies, orange juice and ginger bread men   but unfortunately  we couldn't do them so we made chips and ginger bread men.
First we had to wash all the potatoes
Secondly we sliced them into  chip shapes.
Thirdly we added seasoning.
Fourthly Sophie and I watched the chips through school singing.
Finally we sold the chips and other lunches.

Science inquiry/ video

       Science inquiry/ video 

This term my science question is: Why does the earth orbit the sun and the moon orbit the earth? I searched on google and it came up with: the earth orbits the sun because the earth's gravitational force is a lot smaller than the sun's and the earth's gravitational force is bigger than the moon's.

Welcome To 2016 

Hi, my name is Gracie.I'm so glad that I'm a year 5 witch  means that I'm a senior!I'm so happy that I'm in room 8 ,with  Mr Gemmell. This year I really want to take up as much opportunities as I possibly can.  I really can't believe that I have most of my really good friends(Emily, Isla, Sophie,Lily) in  my really cool class.

New Zealand Falcon shelter

This is my plan and a model I made for a shelter for a New Zealand falcon.  I changed the shape of my shelter so that it was stronger, and I use netting for the roof so the air could get in.  My bird has a swing to play on and lots of trees to shelter in. I made a hole in the side for it to nest in.
New Zealand Falcon eat tui, pigeons and grey warblers.  It is my responsibility to care for the environment so that New Zealand Falcon have a healthy country to live in.

Bee Report

BEES
Bees are insects because they have four wings and six legs. Bees are also invertebrates because they don't have a back bone. The scientific name for a honey bee is Apis. 

Habitat

Bees live in hives near flowers so they can collect more nectar. There are 60,000-80,000 bees in a hive in summer, and 20,000-30,000 in winter! The temperature in a hive is 36-37c.

Description

Bees have a stinger on their rear end and they use it when they are disturbed or angry. Bees cant fly in rain because they can't fly when their wings are wet. A bees tongue is called a proboscis, it is used to suck nectar from the flowers. Bees have two antenna that helps them know where they are bees are striped yellow and black to warn predators they are poisonous! 

Dynamics

Bees don't sleep but they do get tired. Bees don't speak they do the waggle dance to communicate. One bee produces 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey in its life time. They can only fly five miles away from there hive.

Bees are endangered. People NEED to plant more flowers so bees can make more honey and appreciate what is given.
