Topic posters




These are some of Room 10 topic posters . We have been learning on a few topics that involve What Does It Mean To Be A Good Learner. Some of the topics are bullying, vak, the body and how the brain works. First we asked some questions about our topic then we did some research on our topic, found answers and made posters. Here we have a couple of our posters.

Athletics

On athletics day we went and lined up out side our class then went to the feild. My group went to sprints. I came last. My mum and dad came.

After sprints we went to high jump. I came last in that to but while I was at high jump I hurt my leg but not in any odd place, it was behind my knee.

After high jump I was lucky because I didnt have to run because the activity was shot-put. In shot-put I came last as well.

After shot-put my group went to the block run. We went to block run after morning tea, as well as coming last in sprints, high jump and shot-put, I came last in the block run but I don't really care.

In long jump I nearly came 3rd but I needed to jump a bit longer but my legs were not long enough.

Evil Praying Mantis

In the weekend my brother, Mum, Dad and I went to Waiuku to visit Nana Rae and Grandad Pat.

Adam, Mum and I went to the park. On the way there we passed a female praying mantis. Mum said she had a belly full of eggs. I asked, "Where is the Dad?" Mum said, "In her stomach. Once they have mated she bites his head off, eats that and then eats the rest of his body. It helps her feed the eggs. It has good nitrition."

I said, "How harsh!" Adam said, "Yuck." Mum just laughed. I said, "Evil praying mantis. Poor Dad. I would rather be a female. In fact I wouldn't want to be one anyway. It must hurt having your head bitten off! It must be like getting executed but by your wife. Pretty mean!! Bye evil praying mantis. Stay where you are so we can talk on the way back." I yelled................but when we came back she was not there!
