Chinese New Year🐉 🏮

 Hola everyone. After our EOTC activities our class is starting to get back on track with our interesting topic this week. This week we have been learning more about different kinds of New Years such us the Chinese New Year. 

We had to get at least 10 facts about the Chinese new year. Then we had to either choose if wanted to make a simple Chinese lantern or take a challenge and try to draw the Chinese dragon. I ended up drawing the dragon. After we had either finished our lanterns or dragons we had to write the ten facts around our lantern or dragon.

Unfortunately I haven't finished my dragon yet but I hope I can show them later on.

Here is some of the facts I have written down:

Learning About Native Insects in New Zealand

We have been learning about creepy crawlies around the world. This time we are learning about our native insects. We had to search and research to find 3 native insects. We had to make a google drawing about the three native insects we found out about. We had to be with a buddy. My buddy is Talisa. We had a map and we had to find out where they mostly live in New Zealand. We had a map and we pointed out where they lived. Then in the slide for each of our three native insect we had to have at least five facts about. Then we had to choose what native insect we were going to make and how we would make it. Me and Talisa decided to do the giraffe weevil because we wanted to make a long neck. We haven't finished our final copy but I hope we will finish it next week.

Here is our slide:

Learning About Ancient Gods and Goddess!! 😁

We had to be in groups of two. One group had to be in 3. I went with Sonnie because she was away.  We had to choose which God or Goddess we want to work on. I chose The God Horus. I did all the work because My group mate was Sonnie and she was pretty much away for a long time. Our teachers shared a slideshow with us. We had to get a slide in that slideshow. We were able to get facts by searching up in google or going to Kiddle. After we had done our slide we had to draw our God or Goddess on a piece of paper. It was pretty hard to do. We had to colour it in pastels.

Here is what is looks like:

Making Canopic jars! 😀

We have been making Canopic jars for our Ancient Egypt topic. Canopic jars are jars where you put internal organs of a mummification. Those organs are lungs, stomach, intestines and liver but we didn't really put these thing inside our canopic jars. We made the canopic jars a paper mache. We used scrap paper and news paper to make it. There were 4 different canopic jars. There was a jackal, a falcon, the person and a baboon. They have different heads. Each canopic jar protects each organ that they took out of a mummification. We were able to choose which canopic jars we would made. I decided to make a jackal since it was easy for me. Also our classroom has been working with Room 8 in our school. It has been fun working with them.

Here are some photos:

New Topic for This Term!

We have a new topic this term. We decided last term that our topic for term 2 would be about ancient Egypt. We had already done 3 activities that relate to ancient Egypt in one week. We learned information about ancient Egypt by watching a video. We had cards that we had to match. We also had a slide that shows how pharaohs live and more other stuff. we also made a cartouche. We wrote our name on the cartouche. Egyptians believed that if there name was written on a cartouche they would live in the after life. In ancient Egypt there weren't any letters before so letters were made by pictures. Only some people had learnt how to write.

Here are some photos of our ancient ancient Egypt topic:
