My Gran Gran

Last week we had to do some descriptive writing about a special person and i choose to write about my Gran Gran..


Gran Gran 
My Gran Gran has thin,short,wavy brown
hair with streaks of grey all the way
through it. His face is fair and very
smooth, at times it's prickly. He has
bright blue eyes that sparkle all the time.
He is very tall,just taller than my mum.
He always wears pants and a t.shirt.
He is very soft spoken, he is very charming,
and has the biggest bright smile that lights
up the room. He smells very nice with
his 1 million cologne. He is very cuddly
and gives the tightest hugs ever.


My Gran Gran likes to do gardening,
he spends hours outside tidying up his
gardens and pulling out the never ending
weeds. He loves to sit under the big tree in
the shade with a coffee and smoke and just
listen to his music. Every year in May my
Gran Gran runs the big Country Music
Festival in Paihia and every year in August
he also runs the Jazz and Blues Festival in
Paihia. They spend all year putting it all
together getting musos from all over the
world to come. He really enjoys those
weekends away by himself. He also likes
walking his dog Whero around the farm.
He likes doing anything arty and crafty to
pass time, with anything he makes goes in
his gardens.


Me and my Gran Gran like building huts in
his gardens. We both like walking the dog.
We both like gardening together and
trimming back all the overgrown trees and
plants. We enjoy having turns mowing the
lawn, and we just like to hang out and just
chill and talk about everything and anything
especially if I have a hundred and one
questions.
My Gran Gran is very  special to me.
I will always cherish our time together
even though we hardly see him as much
as we like. 

Rounding to 10's and 100's

Today i have been learning how to round to 10's and 100's. I find it very easy with lots of practice
and with the fun learning games Whaea Deb has uploaded on our maths group site.

Wheels

This week we have been reading about Wheels.
If we didn't have wheels we would not be able to get to places as fast as we like, if wheels were not invented back in 1880 we will have to walk everywhere. COULD YOU IMAGINE THAT??

Power from the Sun

Power from the Sun



Words I found tricky.




Electricity- sun's energy
Energy- can be used to make electricity
Kilowatt- measure of power
Renewable- means it will never run out
Hydro-electric - things powered by water-( hydro-electric dams)

The energy from the sun is called ‘’solar energy’’. i have also learnt that solar energy is a type of renewable energy, that means it will never run out no matter how much people use it.

This is my drawing of the sun shining on the solar panels, making electricity inside the panels from there it can be used to power things like light, fridges,ovens,and also televisions.
