Would you rather...?

 Hi bloggers,

this is our final "Would you rather?" writing task for the term! Thanks to Phil @ Ako Hiko for this one!

For today's writing task you'll need to choose which one you'd rather do and give us 3 reasons to explain WHY you have that opinion. 

Our blog ponder for today is: Would you rather...

Leave a comment below explaining which one you'd rather be. Remember to expand on your ideas by telling us why you'd prefer not being able to talk for one day (24 hours) or if you'd prefer to not moving for an hour.

 

The results are in!

 Greetings bloggers!

We have some great news to share today! 

A few weeks ago Eat My Lunch ran a competition asking students for inspiration for their term 4 menu. We had several students write recipes for a healthy and delicious lunch that they would like eat once we're back at kura in term 4. 

The recipes need to be healthy and the ingredients needed to be in season, and of course they have to be delicious so kids will eat them! 

Mrs Eagleson submitted all the entries that were completed, and the results were announced last week! Ten students from five schools had their recipes chosen. Of these ten students, five were from Hay Park School and ALL from Paterson Class! 

Congratulations to Aarav, Axel, Lanisi, Marcus and Layla whose recipes were all selected!

Aarav's recipe was for a club chicken sandwich. Axel's recipe was for fruit kebabs. Lanisi also submitted a recipe for vegetable chicken sandwich. Marcus entered one for mango rice and Layla submitted a recipe for berry crepes.

We are looking forward to tasting these delicious recipes next term! 

Would you rather...? Version 4!

 Hello bloggers!

Well I'm not sure how you're feeling about the Prime Minister's announcement yesterday with the alert levels, but lately I've been doing a LOT of sleeping! Something about being on a screen for multiple hours makes me EXTRA tired!

I've been thinking that the sleep ins are great, but I've been wondering how we will all cope once we are back at school! I've noticed several people are still in bed when we do our daily 10am google meets! This got me thinking about our next round of "Would you rather...?"

So... would you rather...

Leave your answer in the comments below and justify your thinking by telling us AT LEAST TWO reasons why you picked that answer. 

And don't forget, I'm still look for suggestions for what our next round of "Would you rather...?". If you've got a great idea please leave it in the comments below!

Special Google Meet Appearance!

 Mālo e lelei bloggers!

Today Paterson Class were lucky enough to attend Adsett Class' google meet for a special appearance by a real scientist! We were introduced to Georgia who is currently working on her PHD studying snapper in the waters around New Zealand.

Georgia (or Super Snapper) is a marine scientist who looks at where snapper live, what they eat and who they hang out with. We learnt about some of the foods they eat. Did you know that snapper have teeth and they eat crabs? They can also eat worms called polychaete worms. Sometimes Georgia finds that the snapper eat worms longer than themselves!

Another thing that we learnt is that snapper can have different shaped foreheads. Some are flat, some are curved and some even have a hump on their forehead! Did you know that snapper also have ears?!

We also learnt that even if snapper are the same length, they will still look different. Some snapper are different colours, some are fatter and taller than others or markings on their bodies. Some of them also have bigger eyes so they can see better in deeper water, see things they are hunting or see things that are hunting them!

There were lots of fantastic questions asked during the meet and we learnt lots about snapper. I'm sure we'll look closely at them next time we catch one when we're out fishing!

Special thanks to Georgia and Samantha from Nanogirl for providing us with this awesome learning opportunity! 

Would you rather be... round 3

 Mālo e lelei bloggers!

We've survived another week of lockdown learning! It's a tricky time for us here in Tamaki Makaurau still being at alert level 4 while the rest of the nation moved to alert level 2 this week. However we are soldiering on and proving how resilient we can be! 

For today's writing task we have another opportunity for share your opinion and give us 3 reasons to explain WHY you have that opinion.
