For Santa
Dear Santa,
Thank you for the lovely presents that you got me. When I opened my presents, I was shocked because when I looked at them I was so happy.
I really appreciate the colouring kit, rugby ball, school bag and water bottle that I got from you santa. The things that I requested, you got it for me which were things I really needed for school.
Love

Trees for survival
Trees for survival
Auckland should at least be covered with 40% of trees because if there are not enough trees we will have no oxygen. With trees we can have shelter so we can keep cool if any disaster happens. The trees will suck up carbon dioxide and turn it into oxygen so we can breath. Trees also give us food so we don’t starve and trees also provide water, furniture and paper.
There is only 23.8% of our trees because the trees were getting cut down by Lumberjacks to make more homes. We understand because we know our country needs more house’s because some people are going home less. But everyone should know to plant more trees every year to keep safe. We need to look after trees so we can have lots of oxygen and save a future. So make it a habit of trees.

Math
There are 48 lollies that have to be placed evenly on each sixth of the cake. How many lollies will be there on each sixth of the cake?
There will be 8 lollies on each part of the cake because 48 divide by 6 = 8
Doing fraction problems
The tablet
12 + 12 + 8 + 8= 30cm
The forest
9 + 5 + 11 + 7 = 32cm
The photo
14 + 14 + 18 + 18= 64cm
The school
260 + 190 + 210 + 110 + 90= 860m
The birthday card
28 + 20 + 14 + 14 = 76
The block
3 + 1 + 1/2 + 1/2= 5
3 + 1 + 1/2 + 1/2= 5

Artist's expressions through colours
WALT understand colour to describe their feelings.
My subject is lions. Lions inspire me because they are brave, fearless and leaders. Lions will try to protect their families because they will do anything for their family but they will risk their lives for them.
I have chosen green, red, white and yellow. Green represents their happy feelings, red represents their anger, white represents their sharp teeth and yellow represents their soft fur and also their bright lively personalities.

How maui found the secret of fire
How maui found the secret of fire
Maui did not know what would happen if he would put out the fires with water in the morning. Everyone was angry after they told him to get more fire from the volcano.
Maui went with his friends the birds walking a long but the birds flew away to the volcano and he had to go all by himself to the volcano to get some fire.
When he reached the top he asked his aunty for some fire then she gave one flame then he went to his friends and put it in the water after he kept on doing it after she was left with one flame then she burst out with anger and refused to give away her last fire.
But Maui was running back with wood and he thought fire was in the wood he went back rubbed the woods together and blowing them to make fire. Suddenly the whole forest began to burn. This is how Maui got back the fire. The wind and the fire a good friends because they both can make bigger fires.

Write a sentence or two to describe the picture that the writer paints in your head.
They walked on in frosty silence. Far above, the sun was setting over the Alps, tinting the snowy peaks a soft pink. Kea wheeled high above the fringes of the forest. The air was cool and smelt of dirt and leaves. Charlie couldn’t enjoy any of it.

Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate is good to eat because it has less sugar but more cocoa. We need to read the labels to find which chocolate is healthy
Breads
Whole grain breads are good because they are made of the whole grain. White breads are made out of refined grain. These breads are known as white breads and are not very nutritious.
The 5 major foods
-Proteins.
-Carbohydrates.
-Fruit and Vegetables.
-Bread and Cereal.
-Milk and Milk Products.
-Sugars and Fats.
Sugars and fats are the least important because they are unhealthy. We should make sure that we choose to eat foods that come from the first four foods groups
