Here are my three comments on Lavinia's blog, room 2's and room 7's blog.

Compare and Contrast

Stormwater and Wastewater

LI: To understand the difference between stormwater and wastewater

Know Your Drains!

There are 2 types of drains (see the diagram above):

• Inside drains like your toilet, sinks and washing machine that go to the sewer treatment plant.
• Outside drains like your gutters, driveway drains and roadside stormwater drains that go directly into our streams, lake and beaches without any treatment!  So anything tipped, washed or accidentally spilled into an outside drain will end up in our streams, lake and on our beaches – and then we swim and fish in it!

The Main Message to Get Out There!

• Nothing but clean rainwater should run into stormwater drains.  When chemicals and wastes such as oil, paint, detergents, or even food and green waste (leaves etc.) flow down stormwater drains, they run directly into streams or the sea untreated.  These pollutants can kill fish, shellfish, insects, plants and other living things, as well as polluting the water we swim in!

Challenge 1

Read the statements below and copy and paste them onto the chart. To do this correctly you will need to identify which statements are about wastewater and which statements are about stormwater

Stormwater & Wastewater

Here is my popplet on wastewater and stormwater and it talks about how the stormwter works and how the waste water works.

Rapids

Rapids

LI: To identify the rhyme in the poem

At the early day of spring
Beyond forest where nightingale will sing
Beyond castle of a ghost of forest king
The great river started as a lively spring

The river in tributaries grew
Pushing it way through
Carving canyons and valleys too
So strong on very canvas of earth it drew

But soon this awesome run turns into mild jog
The river winds disappearing somewhere in a fog
It turns into a large bog
Barely strong enough to push a log

The swamp is vital to ecology
And it’s secretive and full of majesty
But I miss river’s intensity
On my soul it left enchantment and history

I admire its beauty
As I watch I feel something eerie
And I think I hope to use that history
To change the very momentum of chaos and biology

Patrycjusz Kopec

1. What language features can you identify in the poem? List examples of each language feature you identify.

2. Highlight the rhyming words in yellow?

3. Write out the dictionary meanings of:

• majesty: Someone who is royal and someone who is very important.
• intensity: Intensity is how much energy you have when playing or acting.
• eerie:  Eerie is strong and frightening.

4. Describe the journey of the rapids?

The rapids journey talks about how the river flows through the canyons and valleys and how it pushed it way through the fog and log.

My 6 Hats Current Event

Here is my 6 hats based on all the cigarette butts are thrown down the drain and how our Pacific ocean is polluted with water. From reading this article it has made me feel sorry of all the marine wild life because of ll the rubbish that I have thrown down the drain. Hopeful that you've enjoyed reading this and learnt something from it.

Personal Goals T4

Reflecting and Goal Setting

Term 3-4

Reading: This term I learnt more about the New Zealand landforms by reading stories on mountains, finding more facts on the internet and by listening to other peoples story. My reading goal for Term 4 is to read and understand what I am reading and to skim and scan quickly when looking for information. To achieve my goal I will need to keep reading at home and tell someone at home what I am reading.

Writing: This term I learnt more about information reports and working collaboratively to complete it, and also finding more information on the report we were writing and writing it in our own words. My writing goal for Term 4 is to write everything in my own words, keep writing ta home and us for powerful words. To achieve my goal I will need to keep writing at home and ues more powerful words.

Maths: This term I learnt more about fractions, multiplication, division and percentages, for percentages we had to use our times tables and we also used blocks to help us. My maths goal for Term 4 is to listen carefully so I understand what I am going to do and learn my times tables so I know it very well. To achieve my goal I will need to learn my times tables at home and tell someone at home what we did at school so they can help me with something that I am stuck on.

Personal: My personal goal for Term 4 is  to behave more better, listen to the teacher more often and to show good model to young journeys. To achieve my goal I will need to listen, do as what I have been told, learn my times tables, keep reading and to keep writing at home.

Here is my Term 4's goal settings and it talks about what I will do this term to achieve everything  I need to know before I get to college.

Spelling Challenge W5T4

Here is a presentation on my weekly spelling from last week. Last week we had a six spelling words and they were from the article that was about the Panmure bridge and we had to look up these words because we did not know that meaning of it, there were more words but Mrs Anderson choose these words for us because they were hard.

Panmure Bridge

Here is a Google draw based on the first Panmure bridge that was built and about the Panmure bridge that we use now.  Back then it was interesting when they first had the the first swing bridge.  It was very good because farmers could get their milk and crops across on time and they did not have to paddle to get across.  The bridge that we use now is very helpful for people like Mrs Anderson because she does not have to paddle to get to Panmure she could just drive over the without even paying.

6 Hats Current Events

Here is my groups 6 hats that we worked colabritevly to finish it and from doing this activity we learnt a lot of fact and acknowledge every information.

Milks in Schools
Here is a short video about milk in school. It was was really exciting for everyone in the school to have milks in school for the best time ever, the first time when my classroom got given our milk we were really exciting but the hardest thing to do after that was to fold the milk container but we will get used to it.

Homework W1T4

Here is my homework from the start of this term and that was the first time I had to do my homework online. It was easier for me to do everything online because it was not a waste of time writing in a book and making sure I bring it back on Friday and it did not waste my energy by writing everything by hand, and it was also easier because we could look for the information at the same time we were doing our homework.

Spelling W2T4

Here is my spelling activity for week 2 at the start of this term and I'm just catching up with my overdue blog posts.
