Week 6 Reflection

What: On Wenseday chinese students had come to our class to learn about english and what we do as New Zealanders. We had a buddy each. My buddys name was Shine. He wasn't much of a talker or didn't play much sport. That was a shame because I was going to play a game of basketball with him. After lunch he showed me how to write my name in chinese and showed me numbers in chinese up to 16 and taught me how to say it. Today instead of going to the gym, me, Caleb and Te Paerangi went to Room 2 because we hadn't payed and plus I got hacked in the foot with a hockey stick at U11 reps for hockey. It really hurt. Yesterday we had buddy art. Our Habit of mind is gathering data through all senses. The five senses are smell, hear, look, taste and touch.

So What: I learnt how to count in chinese up to 16. I learnt how to control a 6 year old so they don't go crazy with the paint.

Now What: I want to learn how to count up to 30 in chinese numbers.

Fill in the blanks with the words above the paragraph.

Beavers

A beaver is an animal that has large front teeth and a large tail on its back.  Beavers live in ponds that they make by building a dam on a small river or stream.

Beavers the Builders
sticks
twigs
trees

Beavers can cut down trees with their powerful teeth. They use the twigs and sticks from the trees to build their dams.  They also use mud from the ground to hold everything together and fill in the holes.

Beavers Lodges

slaps
lodges
underwater

Beavers build their homes in the middle of their ponds. Their homes are called lodges. The entrance to the lodge is underwater. This helps protect the beavers from predators. When a beaver sees a dangerous predator like a wolf the beaver slaps its tail on the water and hides in the lodge.

The Fur Trade

In the past, people called trapppers hunted beavers for their valuable fur. Beaver fur is very warm so their fur was used to make hats.
