Muddy swamp crash

This is more of the writers toolbox daily challenges that I did.

Once upon a time there was a family that was rushing to an important meeting that they had been invited to. The family’s sir name was Bahreiniphour, and they were a very important family. Suddenly they crashed into a swamp and almost fully went under. The Bahreiniphour family was extremely frightened by the sudden event. They called a tow-truck to pull them out of the boggy swamp they were trapped in. In a nick of time they were safe on land and continuing to the meeting. At the meeting the family were asked if they were okay, the entire family would reply”We are okay thanks”.

Daydreamer

This is one of the writers toolbox daily challenges that I did. Read it right here.

Sophie was daydreaming about something amazing, mystical, and beautiful. It was amazing. Sophie was daydreaming about a beautiful and majestic land with many elves, dragons, and unicorns—her three favorite beings. Sophie loved the amazing dream that she was having at the moment. “It smells like candle, and it’s so mushy” Said Sophie “I am going to sweep the floor” Bot just at that moment she woke up to her mum shaking her really hard.

How do bees communicate?

WALT: Write an explanation

                                                     How do bees communicate?

                                                                    by Lyndon

 

One of the most interesting ways bees communicate is using the waggle dance. When a worker bee finds a good source of food, such as flowers with lots of nectar and pollen, it can return to the hive and perform a special dance. The dance gives other bees information about where the food can be found.

 

The direction of the dance helps tell the other bees which way to fly. The bee also changes the dance depending on how far away the food is. A longer part of the dance can mean that the food source is farther away.

 

Bees also communicate using sounds and vibrations. Bees can make different sounds by moving their wings and bodies. These sounds and vibrations can give other bees information about what is happening inside the hive. Bees might use vibrations when they are working together or responding to changes in their colony.

26. Steam Father’s Day

26. Steam Happy Father’s Day

On Monday, we celebrated Father’s Day with our dads, mums, papas, or other loved ones. My dad said he loved what I made for him, and my mum was so proud of me. It was amazing to see my dad so happy! It was so awesome to connect our Father’s Day celebration with our learning about hydroponics and soil! I learned so much about how plants grow differently in nutrient-rich water compared to natural soil, and sharing all these cool new ideas with my family made the day even more special and memorable.

Afterward, we took notes on page 2 for our hydroponics and soil topic. We learned that hydroponics is a method of growing plants in water enriched with minerals, which can help them grow faster, while soil is a complex, living mixture of minerals, organic matter, air, and water. We are excited to continue tracking our seed experiment on the windowsill, where the sunlight will hopefully help them thrive over the coming weeks.

On behalf of Rooms 9 and 10, we would like to thank you for spending time with us and for appreciating our work.

Nag mihi Shanah,

We have also been learning about the suffix Anti.

Anti means against or opposite.

We made a drawing about the prefix with words and the first three words have the meaning with them.

Here is the drawing:

Can you think of any other words with the prefix Anti?

Perimeters and Length

Malo e lelei readers,

Lately, we have been learning about perimeters and lengths.
We recently took a test about different types of perimeters and their units.
We learned that a perimeter is the edge of a shape or area.
We learned that to find the whole perimeters that we had to measure two sides of a shape.
Let me give you an example:
A rectangle has two of the same sides.
Imagine one of the sides is nine centimeters and the other is four centimeters.
A you have to do is this:
Nine times two equals eighteen.
Four times two equals eight.
Then plus eighteen and eight together to get the whole perimeter.
So the whole perimeters would be twenty – six.
The test was really fun and I took a screenshot when I finished.
Here is a screenshot of the test:
Can you solve the test?
Comment below to see if your answers are correct.
I hope you enjoy the test.
I hope to hear from you in the comments.
Bye bye readers see you soon.

Face The Music – Idiom

A few days ago, I learnt tons of idioms and what idioms mean. Basically idioms are a phrase or expression whose total meaning is different from the literal meanings of the individual words. For example, ‘It cost an arm and leg’ The literal meaning would mean you had to get an amputated leg and arm to buy something, but the actual meaning means it’s too expensive. I had to make a poster of an idiom that I like, so I chose, ‘Face the music’ The literal meaning would be to face a music band while they’re playing. But the actual meaning is you need to face the consequences caused by  your mistakes or actions. The picture is down below!
