I love the way you care for me when I’m sad.

Your hugs are always warm like the sun.

I love the way you always kiss me when I go to bed.

Bat Detectives

Over the week our reading group “Angels” have been learning about bats and their natural habitats. We’ve made posters with evidence to show how much we have learnt about bats but, sadly there aren’t many around anymore.  One of the main causes for this is when people moved to New Zealand from other countries they brought pests with them.  The pests are one of the biggest threats to bats.  New Zealand has two types of bats, long-tailed bats and short-tailed bats. We watched also watched a documentary about Bats that we wrote facts from too. The scientist in the documentary created experiment where they could record how bats fly, so for example they create a wind tunnel and recorded in slow motion their flying patterns this helped people to look at how planes and flying things were made.  We learnt lots of new information, it was easy and challenging, and loads of FUN!

Our Test

We did very well in our reading test and we need to work on our knowledge of poem types. For our Maths test we both got very good scores and are very proud of ourselves but our best test was our spelling test. We would like to have more tests that everyone can participate in with the subject’s math, science, topic, R.E, writing and chemistry. We would also like to thank Miss Gleeson for designing our tests and Miss Down for helping us to make sure we understand.
