Waterspout infographic

W.A.L.T create an infographic based on what my reading group has learned over the first week of school this is what I have created:

 What I have learn't is actually what a waterspout was I always thought it was a small spout of water coming out of the side of a crack or a creak but I found out that it is actual a tornado in the water!

What I think I did well is creating the slideshow based on waterspouts I am proud of what I have done.

Next time I think I could improve on maybe more information but other than that I think it is great enjoy :D.

Wacky washing powder

W.A.L.T  create our own fair test that we have been learning throughout the term and during my fair test we had to discover which washing powder was the best on tea stains on white material, what I enjoyed was setting up the board and doing the experiment, and what I think we could improve on next time is maybe improving on our information.

Here are some images:

Persuasive writing

W.A.L.T create a persuasive piece of writing using our language skill to persuade someone of our point of view.

Dear reader,

I am writing to inform you on why I think we should have a summer sports
tournament for schools around Christchurch.

Firstly, I think most children throughout schools would enjoy it, getting to
go outside, make new friends and meet new people would keep children
fit and entertained for the summer and even bring a little competition
throughout schools. There would be a variety of options for students to
choose from such as Tennis, Field hockey, baseball, basketball, and soccer.
And in my opinion, having these options through summer sound cool.

Secondly, people need exercise. Obesity in New Zealand can be a problem
and it can be caused by technology, lack of exercise, or complete laziness.
Being outside and getting to play games can result in huge health benefits,
did you know it can improve your health mentally and physically and bring
the best out of kids years 6 - 8.

Thirdly, being outside and playing a summer sports game can help develop
leadership and communication skills and learn how to play as a team and not
hog the top position when it comes to playing fair. It will also help kids learn
about responsibility and maybe kids who enjoy the sport might continue it and
make it a career.

In my opinion with provided facts about how beneficial having a summer,
sports tournament is, this is why I think it would be a great idea to have a
sports tournament provided for year 5 - 8 students in the summer.

Sincerely

Jaimie
