Earthoropis

100 million light years away from Earth there is a planet called Eathoropis in a galaxy called The Tree Trunk Star Galaxy.

There are many different types of creatures and aliens on my planet and also lots of friendly mutants. They also have different types of names for each creature.

You can only get there by a magical flying bus that can teleport to other dimensions. There is only five of these buses in the whole entire universe. You will be lucky to get to look at this planet.

My whole planet is basically huge cities like Tilted Towers and many other big cities.

If you do make it there you will be totally safe because the atmosphere there is the exact same as  Ao (Earth). That's how all the humans and creatures survive on the planet.

The best part of me is my WaeWae because they help me to kick a ball, and help me to juggle a ball. They help me to achieve all the sports I can achieve. They cling onto my bike like pegs. My legs make me jump like a kangarū. They help me to run as fast as a Cheetah.  My legs are as flexible as a slippery slidey nākahi (snake). My WaeWae is the best part of me because they help me do the things I love doing.

Cooking

Today on Friday morning all of the year 6's had a challenge to make a pizza with other people in our class. We had to be in groups of four and one group of five. In my group was Ethan, Lincoln R and Lily. 

Ethan and I made the base and Lily and Lincoln made the toppings. We all liked different toppings so we had to split it in half.

Rocky Shore Goals

Here are our learning intentions for the Rocky Shore unit we did this term. I have highlighted all my goals green that I think I met.

Black Backed Seagull

Learning Intentions for Science We are learning to understand that all living creatures have a life cycle. We are learning that living creatures have bodies that are designed to help them to live and survive.   We are learning that all living things are designed to live in a particular environment. We are learning to understand how food webs work. We are learning that in an ecosystem all living things and their environment are interconnected. We are learning to understand about the Rocky Shore and the impact, both positive and negative, we can have on this environment.

Literacy As part of our rocky shore unit we will also use our literacy skills to read and learn about the rocky shore and to write an information report on a rocky shore creature. Writing We are learning to write an information report about an animal. We are learning to use our writing skills across the curriculum.
