This is just to say - Poem

 This is my poem about one of the 'Worst' Things I have done. I hope you like this poem. We Did this in our class so everyone made one whether it was in a book or on a Chromebook. It was really fun and I enjoyed making it and then decorating it on canvas a really cool site to make slides or posters on. 

Ruakaka Beach Education

              Beach Education😆😀

On Monday the 24th of February we went to the Ruakaka Beach in Whanagerei. We travelled on the bus to the beach and then we learnt about rips. Rips are strong currents that pull the water out. Rips are calm water in between waves. We played games and      swam in the water. It was extremely fun and

 I hope we have another beach trip soon.

I only did 2 questions because I couldn't find anymore that weren't already taken/used. I really enjoyed writing questions about this book since I absolutely love reading and writing.

Explain the importance of the relationship on learning

The Influence on a child ability to learn from adult is a relationship between the child and the adult or parent. This mean that the relationship is growing between the child and adult because one of the adult in your family might not help you but once you need help for homework the adult will decide if he/she will help you. The adults can also help you for cooking, maths, driving and even teach you how to mow the lawns. The child can teach adults writing, maths, reading, soccer, rugby, cricket and more that kids teach adults. The relationship between a child and a adult is the same relationship because both the kids and adults learn from mistakes, don’t give up on their lives and some kids and adult have the same knowledge. 

That is my explanation between a adult and a child.

Museum Exhibit - Telescope Lens

Our Task was to create a slide called Museum Exhibit and then write a description about it and after that to put a image of a museum and put it there like it was in the museum . I found it easy to write the description but hard to find a image of inside the museum. Next time I'm gonna add more detail.
