Celsius, Fahrenheit & Kelvin

 Kia Ora bloggers, This week at maths we are learning about temperature. We could choose out of three tasks, Making a poster to describe things about all the different scales of temperature, Doing a worksheet, Completing a series of questions. I choose to do the poster. I have only finished one of the posters. Next week I will do one on Fahrenheit and another on Kelvin. I found this interesting to do and find out how and why Celsius was created. 

What have you been learning in maths this week?

Ocean pollution

 Kia ora bloggers, Today my class did a test on how to sustain/help the environment. we could not search anything up. The other day toroa did a wearables art show on ocean pollution. So I decided to do it on ocean pollution since I learned quite a bit the other day. I found this really fun and interesting. Have you done any tests yet?

Ocean pollution

Did you know if we don’t stop polluting our ocean our children or grandchildren won’t have an ocean? Ocean pollution is real and is affecting all of our marine life. Did you know that the Great Pacific garbage patch is the size of Texas and Texas is one of the biggest cities in the world?

Boyan Slat is one of the many people trying to help marine life by creating inventions to pick up rubbish in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. When Boyan Slat was 15 he went on holiday to Greece. He excepted to dive through shimmery, glassy water and see fish dart past his. Instead, he dived in and all he saw was plastic bags and plastic bottles. He was shocked to see how much plastic was in the ocean. The next day he thought to himself how can I help the ocean so people can dive into the glassy, shimmery water. He started inventing and invented a machine that picks up rubbish in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

Did you know that heaps of marine animals die a year because of ocean polllution? Heaps of animals feel pain and frustration from losing loved ones. Heaps of animals mistake plastic for food. Some animals eat microplastics that they cant see.  So then the animals get caught and eaten by us, so, therefore, we, us humans are eating teeny microplastics. Heaps and heaps of jellyfish mistake plastic bags for food so then they get tangled up in the bags and pass away. We need to start acting now.

Coral bleaching is a real problem and I believe no animal should have its home taken away because of us humans. Coral bleaching is caused by sunscreen. It makes the coral lose its color and causes animals to leave their home. We need to protect coral so future generations can see coral in real life not just in pictures. The great barrier reef is home to over 1000 animals and is decreasing quickly. We need to start acting now, otherwise, it will be too late.

This is why I believe that no worthy animal should have its home taken away. There are many more reasons than this, on how pollution is affecting our planet and our ocean. There are millions of species that live in our ocean and that number is slowly decreasing. We need to save the blue heart of our world. We need to start acting now. 

Transformation

 Kia ora bloggers this week we have been learning about transformation. We did a slide on translation. We had to answer a series of questions about translation. I found this really fun to do. Have you ever done transformation?

Organic vs GMO

 Kia Ora Bloggers this week we have been doing pervasive writing and we had to make a plan on what to write. I did my piece on Why Organic food is better than GMOs. I did my plan on a padlet.  I found this really interesting and there were a lot of facts about it.

 

My Quirky Quick Write

 Kia Ora bloggers, At the start of every literacy session we do a quick write. We have to take inspiration from a picture and write as much as we can in 10 minutes. After 10 minutes is done, The teacher goes on a spinner wheel with everyone's name and spins it. Whoever it lands on has to share what they write. Also each week we have a focus like this week is personification, and in other weeks we have done similes, metaphors, and Alliteration. Thursday's picture was a door that leads to nowhere and had wooden boats everywhere. Here is the picture and what I write about it.

Buckingham Palace

 Kia ora Bloggers Today I have been exploring Buckingham palace. I went on a virtual tour and it was so cool. You could see the White drawing-room, the grand staircase, and the throne room. It was really cool because we all live far far away from Buckingham palace, yet we still get to see it ( just virtually). It was so real, you felt as if you were actually there.  Here is the link if you want to see yourself. Have you ever seen Buckingham palace in real life? Have you ever been on a virtual tour?

How to make mashed potatoes

 Kia ora Bloggers

Today I made a recipe on how to make mashed potatoes. We did this because we were learning about traditional Maori food and one of them was kumara. We could choose to make a tool to get Kumara or make a recipe with potatoes and I choose to make a recipe. I choose to make a recipe on how to make Mashed Potatoes. I found this task really fun and easy to do.  Are you having fun doing online school ? Have you ever researched kumara???
