This is my project that I worked on.

I did my research on a kiwi and I enjoyed it very much.

I worked on my project with my younger sister and she helped me with the collaging the title kiwi.

I took notes in a note book to help me remember the facts.

I got my information off Wikipedia.

I could improve my work by printing out my information to make it look more neat.

Fitness+Nutrition with Karen

WALT keeping ourselves fit and healthy.

For term three the year fives and sixes spended a little bit of time with Karen, we played some games there was a card game, a cat game, a ball game and some fitness games. We also talked about nutrition, food and washing. 

We would do this every Wednesday morning, this would help us take care of ourselves which I'll be talking about later.For the games that we played they always would help us with keeping fit and staying healthy. Some of the fitness we did some mountain climbers, star jumps, crouches, push-ups, squats and burpees. 

When we were talking about the nutrition, food and washing we found out that staying healthy was by eating lots of fruits and vegetables and drinking a lots of water.

WALA Spring

This is my daisy on the classes daisy chain.

In Hastings we celebrate Spring by having a blossom parade.

Here is my Spring poem.

Spring is when the lambs are born

Pollen spreads the hay fever round

Rolling round in the green soft ground

Inside your house grilling lamb tails

No more snow in the beautiful meadow

Gardening plants in you backyard

Here are all the butterflies we dyed.

Spring is a beautiful season to be out and about adventuring. It's a time for the trees to blossom and for the lambs to be born. It's also a good time for grilling lamb tails outside your house.

In Albania they celebrate spring on the 14 of March and it is a national holiday.

Maths

WALT find the average temperature for the five day forecast

To find the average temperature of these five days I have to add all the temperatures together.

The total of all temperature = 65

The next step is to divide it by the amount of days

65 divided by 5 = 13

I did my working by following the steps

The average temperature is 13 degrees Celsius
