Hi everyone, in Inquiry I am in the compost group, we learn about composting and we focus on a lot of worm farms. And we made one, our inquiry group made a worm farm and we put worms in it today. There were adult and baby tiger worms. And when we were done we made a worm tea D.L.O. Here is mine 😇:
I am a Year 6 student in the Uru Mānuka Cluster. My teacher is Mrs Jones. This is a place where I will share my learning. Please note that some of it will not be complete, it will be my first drafts. Remember to be positive, thoughtful and helpful when you leave me a comment.

Reading - Shark D.L.O
Kia Ora Tamariki ma, this week my reading group and I have been learning about sharks and today we made a D.L.O (digital learning object). I actually found sharks really fascinating, there are so many different breeds and shark pups know know how to take care of themselves when they are born. Anyways, here is my D.L.O (I didn't add everything I know in it though) 😋:

Writing - To Inform, Information Report about Whales
Hi everyone, in the past few weeks we have been working on a information report about an endangered animal. I chose the blue whale, they are amazing underwater mammals that you can know more about in my piece of writing. It took a bit of time to research all the things I needed to know about the information report turned out perfect (to me). Here it is 😉:
The Wonderful Blue Whales
Have you ever seen a whale? They are underwater mammals which are cousins of the hippopotamus and dolphin. Did you know that?
Blue whales look an amazing true blue underwater but on land they look a beautiful bluish grey. Blue whales are also the biggest animal in the world (now) and they are 90 or more feet in size and can weigh as much as 24 elephants (they weigh from 50,000 kg to 150,000 kg).
Blue whales usually eat large schools of fish and creatures like Octopus, zooplankton and small crabs.
Whales have a very amazing way to locate food underwater. They use echolocation to locate where their prey is. The blue whale’s call can reach 188 decibels but it isn’t the loudest animal on earth since the sperm whale can reach 230 decibels.
Whales make one of the longest migrations of any mammals and they travel about 10,000 miles each migration! The blue whale’s habitat is every aquatic habitat. Blue whales have been found in tropical, temperate, subtropical and arctic seas.
I think whales are super fascinating creatures and there are many things that we can learn about them. Whales are also one of the most intelligent aquatic animals and the sperm whale has the biggest brain of any animal in the world.

Reading - Ocean Zones
Hi everyone, in the past few days my reading group has been learning about ocean zones. Some of us knew more than others, I knew nothing 😅. We learned that there were the sunlight zone, twilight zone, midnight zone, the abyss and the trench (if there is any error that you might find on this post, or any other, please comment down below 😊). Well here is the slide that I made, it is about which ocean zone animals live in (I am proud of myself😁):

Inquiry - How to make a Worm Farm
Kia Ora tamariki ma, in Inquiry we have been learning about worm farms. It was really fun and I think soon we will be making one ourselves. The best thing about learning about worm farms is the researching. We watched a video about it and there were a few things we had to search up. After learning about worm farms we were told to make slides about it. We had to be in buddies, and my buddy was BaileeD. Here is our slide:
