Plants are living organisms. It comes in different shapes, sizes, and colors but they all have something in common, all plants require air, water, nutrients, and sunlight.
Plants cover about 30% percent of our planet. Plants produce oxygen in the air we breathe and also help animals stay alive. Every Grass, Flower, Tree, Bush, Fern, or even moss is a plant. Plants have a cell wall because plants such as trees don't have a skeleton therefore it uses a cell wall to keep it sturdy and the cell wall helps it to stand.
Plants are prey to herbivores, an animal that only eats plants. Plants produce their food using Photosynthesis, plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create energy and oxygen in the form of sugar.
Plants scatter the seeds they produce because if the seeds grow closely together they have to compete for sunlight, nutrients, and water from the soil.
Plants have all kinds of techniques to spread their seeds around. Some plants with fruits depend on birds and animals because after the birds or any other animals eat the fruit they throw out the seeds and the seeds scatter, some plants are designed to explode to disperse their seeds, these plants are called, Violet, Poisonous squirting cucumbers, Touch-me-nots, and Impatiens capensis. Touch-me-nots have a very effective way of dispersing their seeds, Touch-me-nots burst and use a forceful ejection that sends the seeds flying a far distance from the original plant.
On land or in sea plants play a very critical part in the continuance of life on our planet Earth.
Aleisha, Tom, and Rochelle came in today to teach us all about money and how to save up in case of emergencies.
Aleisha, Tom, and Rochelle had lots of fun games that include how to save money and how to spend it wisely, The first game we played was 1 false, 2 truth, it was very fun playing 1 false 2 truths because they asked us questions like did people use dog teeth as money?
We enjoyed the games they taught us and we also enjoyed it when they taught us about money, I hope they come back again with lots of new games.
Thank you PWC and thank you Aleisha, Tom, and Rochelle for spending your time with us.

It would be crazy to ban unhealthy food in school. Though we want to eat unhealthy food, we know that we only eat unhealthy food on special occasions.
Firstly, if our school bans unhealthy food then there is still no point in banning “why?” you ask well because students will just sneak the unhealthy food in class or eat it during morning tea and lunch. Also, teachers/principals use unhealthy food for fundraisers. So how can we prevent that???
Well we students still need to treat ourselves to something we love and that is “FOOD”, so if teachers give us treats like fish n chips that can fill us up then students won’t have to sneak unhealthy food during class and playtime.
Furthermore, we asked others from our school questions, we asked our friends, teachers, and family if unhealthy food should be banned. We asked several people and mostly they said “No”. Except for the other teacher in our class. We respect all answers but we don’t agree that unhealthy food should be banned.
In addition to that our class say’s “No, we shouldn’t ban unhealthy food”. If we ban unhealthy food then when we celebrate our birthdays or our success we’ll have vegetables for rewards and fundraisers we’ll have vegetables. Plus we students still need to treat themselves!! So stuff what your teacher says and eat junk! (but only a little) because it's your school too!!!
In conclusion, we say no to banning unhealthy food “why?” because we are allowed to! In the same way, we need it, we want it as a reward when we’re doing what we’re supposed to be doing and when we’re doing the right thing!
This week room 10 wrote their goals for term 2 in Google Drawings. This is my goals for term 2.
This school term we learnt about Measurements - Perimeter and Area, Here is the homework I did about Perimeter and Area.
I ran to school excited to meet my friends, on Tuesday 2nd of February, as I ran through the school gates I saw my friends standing in front of the office, “HII!!” I shouted and they said “HII!” back. After having a chat with my friends the school bell rang and we all went to our old classrooms, I and my friends were in room 10 so we walked to room 10 together, after going to room 10 we went to the hall because of the school assembly in the school assembly the teachers introduced all of us to the new students and the new teachers, I and my friends were so excited to meet the new students and teachers.
While we were doing tasks on a Wednesday morning, we heard an announcement through the speaker, it announced that the people that signed their name for road patrol had to go to room 6, I went to room 6 with my friends who signed up for road patrol and we all had our day and time to be on-road patrol announced in room 6. After lunch when it was almost home time some of us swam, but some of us didn’t because some forgot their togs or some students' parents wrote a letter for their swimming telling the teachers they can’t swim and some students can only swim some days.
“Yay I am so excited to go swimming!” I said to my friends on Thursday, we changed to our swimming togs in the changing room and hopped in the pool, the pool was cold but VERY refreshing, an instructor was teaching us how to swim, she was very nice and friendly, she taught us to how to do the sculling, how to make waves and she also taught us how to float on our backs. She was really fun.
“RIING!” After interval on a Friday afternoon, we did some SSR then we learned about the Tiriti O Waitangi, it was so fun to learn about the Tiriti O Waitangi, after reading the Tiriti O Waitangi we answered some questions about The Tiriti O Waitangi.
