This term Manukau have been working hard on some art for our art show! We have been working on making some paper fish, It took weeks to finish this because we had to do many things. The art had to include balloons, paint, cardboard, scissors, crayons and a hot glue gun! Something that was hard for me was making the background for the fish, I had to blend in some colours for the sea my finger started to hurt. Something that was rather easy was  painting the fish because I liked adding detail and it was not as tiring as the the blending in. Here is a slideshow about making the fish!

In Cyber smart, the year 6's got to have a argument about wither schools can have E-mails or not. I chose Emails for many reasons, My favourite reason is that people from schools can have fun with Emails like chat with them! Some year 6's even chose both because they are good and bad for them. Something hard for me was thinking about what reasons I should put in the google drawing because there is such little space in the drawing. Something that was easy was choosing either having Emails or no Emails, Emails can be helpful and fun to use in school.  

Yesterday Te Waka Ako got to have a trip to the zoo! It was so fun my group got to visit heaps of cool animals! Even in the middle of the day we got to see the joey's get fed by a zoo keeper and they had to have nutrition milk like a special kind of milk.  After we looked around for some animals we went to this building that said bug lab, I was very exited to go in it but the owner of the bug lab told us to make up a name but it had to be an insect. Our group finally decided what our insects name could be and the name was called cockroaches, And then the owner said that our adult was the queen cockroach. Finally Te Waka Ako got to go in the building and as we went in, There were hundreds of games in there. After the end of the day I was so tired I almost fell asleep on the bus ( the bus was a double Decker bus) For us it is important for us to go to the zoo because this term we have been learning about animals and that why we went to look at Tiritiri Matangi so we could learn more

 The week before Last week The whole of Te Waka Ako got to have a trip to Tiritiri Matgani! I was really tired after it because we had to be at school at 7.30AM. At Tiritiri Matangi we had to learn about birds that are nearly endangered! There were heaps of interesting birds I did not know about. I learnt that there were only one predator in Tiritiri matangi and it was a mouse. Mice are predators in Tirtiri because they can eat all of the birds lucky the mouse was not female otherwise it could make babies. My favourite bird was a saddle back because on the back of it, It looked like it had a saddle on it! Something that was very unusual was that I did not know that birds could get drunk! Here is the address to the website! http://www.tiritirimatangi.org.nz/  Something that     was a challenge for me was the scavenger hunt it was really hard to find the bird puppets!
