Hello guys welcome back to my blog this week we have been learning about the environment. I have learnt a lot about the environment and I want to tell you what we learnt while we were at Sumner beach. First we looked at the sand dunes and then we learnt about what they do. We then build our own sand dunes ours was definitely the biggest.
We learnt what plants and animals live on or near the sand dune or even what the sand dune do to help certain animals. We then went back do our sand dunes and had 5 more minutes to build more and then we went and learnt what sand dunes do to help protect the city. We learnt that people were annoyed with the sand dune because they were blocking their view of the sun rise. They got the council to remove some just as a test and sand was blowing up on to the roads and on peoples car but they were fine with it. Until one day so much sand built up in some ones roof it came tumbling down which made them want to build the sand dunes back and keep them.
We had lunch and played WW2 after that we came back to learn more about people ruining the sand dunes. We were told that a rugby team came and ran up the sand dunes which made the sand dunes come down a little bit so we went to our sand dunes and used our fingers as a representation of what it was like when the rugby team ran up the sand dunes. After that we added to our sand dunes we added stuff like nets to keep out dogs and wooden paths for people to walk on instead of walking on the sand dunes thank you for reading and have a good day.
Have you ever seen sand dunes?
For Pentecost we have been learning about all of the symbols for the Holy Spirit. We did some art and even wrote what happens during Pentecost. For my art I used three of the symbols for Pentecost.

This week for reading we have been reading about natural resources I learnt that wood is the 14th most needed natural resource in the world. My learning goal was to make a poster about a natural resource I chose wood/timber.
I learnt about wood. one fact I learnt was it would take 30 years for a tree to fully grow to its max height. I chose to learn about wood because my dad works in wood and timber management so I know lots about wood and timber from my dad so i did wood because I already knew lots about it.
Have you learnt about natural resources?
This term we are going to be doing algebra and patterns. Last week we were learning about patterns. Our create was to make a pattern that grows. You have to have a rule or chart to explain how much it grows. If you look below you can see my work and working out. I had a chart to show how much it grows by and how much you add on each time. I added three then six then nine.
Have you done algebra and what are you learning?
How can we be Champions of Peace
For the last four weeks of Term 3 we were learning about ‘How we can be Champions on Peace’.
Firstly we learnt about the different symbols of peace. Some of these are the CND and the dove.
These symbols represent peace because it stands for symbol CND stands for campaign for nuclear disarmament.
With these symbols in mind I created a Peace Artwork. My Peace Artwork represents peace because it show no matter what country you are in we can all spread peace with only one word. peace.
We also researched some real life champions of peace and wrote a short biography. I wrote about martin luther the king Jr I thought this person was a champion of peace because they stopped racism and fixed a lot of people’s minds by telling everyone that black people are the same.
We also created a peace prayer book. I have attached my peace prayer book here.
I enjoyed learning about peace because it was fun to learn what people did and how they did it.
I learnt there is peace everywhere and you can show it in anyway i learnt i can show peace to make me feel better because when i help people it makes me feel good.
One way I plan on being a champion of peace is by helping people and making sure everyone is equal.
Have you learnt about a champion of peace.
