🪸 Pygmy Seahorses! 🪸

The Pygmy seahorses are born brown. If there is a purple coral even though their parents are orange the young seahorses will grow up as purple seahorses. Pygmy seahorses grow bumps on them to blend in more with the fan coral. Pygmy seahorses live at least 80 ft below sea level. Pygmy seahorses grow up to be 2 cm! The size of a paper clip!

Ash Wednesday and Lent


On Wednesday the 14th of February most catholic schools had a mass to remember how Adam and Eve were made from the ashes of the palm leaves. Ash Wednesday is 40 days before Easter and the first day of lent. Ash Wednesday is also the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the desert when the devil came to him 3 times. If I had to give up something for a day I would give up chocolate.

 

Have you ever been to a mass?

Top Team

On the second of February our school participated in the Top Team. There were 12 different games to play. We also had some helpers that helped out with the games. The games were:

 

  • Egg and Spoon race (With a tennis ball and giant spoon)
  • Sack race
  • New Zealand puzzle
  • Hoop toss
  • Knots and crosses race
  • Water pipes
  • Tower building
  • Golf ball gutter
  • Conveyor belt
  • Over the shoulder water race
  • Water tower
  • Sponge race 

 

You got assigned into a team with people that were from your house colour. There were at least 7 or 8 people in a team. People also had at least 2 leaders in their team that helped the little kids in the group find where to go. The leaders were year 7 or year 8 in the team.

 

On the water activities some people got really wet and some people got barely wet. Most of the people that got really wet was because they had a water fight with some friends and some other people. Some people also accidentally poured water on some other people.

 

Top team has been the funnest day so far and I really enjoyed it! My favourite game was the egg and spoon race or the golf ball gutter! In the gold ball gutter you had to make a line for the ball to travel in without the ball falling out. If the ball fell out you had to restart the whole thing. For the egg and spoon race you had to balance a tennis ball on a giant wooden spoon through an obstacle course. If the ball fell off the spoon you had to move to the back of the line and wait for your turn again. The obstacles were seesaws, pole weaves and hurdles . The water ones were also fun though!

My Short Storys!

The last few days we have been writing short stories in a shared document with the rest of the class. We were learning how to write a sentence while using a word that we have to use.

 

Here are my two sentences:

 

The words we had to use was shimmied, sway or jived.

Art Show!

On the 14th of September we held an art show at our school showing the art we have done this term. We looked at Don Binney and made a digital version of it then we painted it. Then we looked at graffiti art and got inspired to make our names in graffiti. We also made an art piece of our outside and our inside.

 

Here is my work
