Bush Wren

Here is our presentation about the bush wren. We had to find out why it became extinct.

Science 2

Me and My DNA

This term for science we are learning all about how the human body works and how special we all are. We are also trying to learn how to think and act more like a scientist. So, Miss Fletcher asked us to look at our faces in the mirror and write down notes about what we look like. The information had to be precise and clear so that when someone read it, it would help them find the person it described quickly. It was a bit like being a detective. You had to look and notice things carefully.

Miss Fletcher said that what we look like depends on our mother and father. Making a new human is a bit like making a cake.  You get some ingredients from your mum and some from your dad. The ingredients are called DNA. Everybody’s cake is different to everyone else’s. 

Miss Fletcher said the person with the most efficient description was Andrew J as he wrote: My hair is 1cm long all over. He is the only student in Team Moana with a haircut like that so he was able to be identified very easily. You can read my description below. The sentences highlighted in blue are the ones that Miss Fletcher said were not precise and clear enough.  Ten people said they could recognise me from my description.

What I look like.

I have hazel eyes.

I have a smooth, thin nose.

I have curvy lips.

I have black eyebrows.

I have brown and black hair.

Bug Hotel

We were making a bug hotel. We used sticks, bamboo and flowers. We put the flowers in the bamboo so that's how we decorated it. We made a hotel to attract good bugs.
