Brazil Facts

Kia ora, today I am going to share some facts with you about Brazil. Here are my top favourite.

The population in Brazil is over 207.7 people!
The Amazon river is only 11% of Brazil
Football is the most popular sport with their own national team, winning the World Cup five times in a row!
The Amazon river is the worlds largest tropical rain forest.  

The Journey

As I quietly creep up the stairs shivering from the cold damp air, the Argentina music plays very loudly. I stand next to my friends, waiting for the Brazil music to play. I feel so nervous I could just break down. As the music plays our part to come on I rush through the curtains to face the blinding lights. I smile to the pitch black audience. I feel the flow of adrenaline as it rushes through me. As the music dies down I feel the  relief as I walk up to the front of the stage for the finale. The music finishes and everybody claps like maniacs as we walk down the aisle. We walk outside to the cold breeze then I think, “All that hard work paid off.”

The Greatest Show in Town

Kia ora, on Friday the 3rd of August our lovely buddy class Room 6 hosted an Assembly with us. It was based on the movie 'The Greatest Showman' We sang This is Me. This is me reminds us that we are just perfect the way we are. Here are some photos.

What a show!

Brave and Strong!

   

Visual Maths with Room 16

Kia ora, on the 1st of August,Room 15 and 16 did some visual graphs of anything we wanted. Me and my maths buddy Eadie did a graph on desserts. Yum! What would you do a graph about? Here is a picture of our graph.                                           

Maths Talk at Hoon Hay School

At our school we work with a maths mate and share our thinking with them. We ask questions about our maths and if we aren't sure of something, we explain how we do it. We know that 2 brains are often better than one and we enjoy working collaboratively. 

Today Abbey and I worked on solving this problem. We used a number line to solve this. " Kyla, Mya and Grace went to the movies. Their tickets cost $14.60 each. How much did their tickets cost altogether?"

How would you solve this?

Our trip to the Art gallery and the Museum

Kia ora, on the 13th of June we went to the Museum and the art gallery. At the art gallery we made a waka huia out of water colours and card. A waka huia is a special box that the chief would keep his huia feathers and the box would hang from the rafters. At the Museum we learnt all about solar energy. We made solar powered cars! Although they didn’t work because it was grey rainy day. I loved the museum and the art gallery, I really want to go again. Here are some photos, hope you enjoy them!   

We got to touch a Green stone!

Anthony was our tour guide, he was teaching us about solar energy!

Here I am, designing my waka huia.

This was our team car, Mr. Pushee!
