Stop at 23.39

Investigation

You can decide on how you would like to do this investigation. Your presentation could be on the blog, slides, or Powerpoint.

Write a definition, upload an image and list where these fossil fuels are mined.

1. Coal. A solid combustible fossil fuel   In coal mines
2. Oil. A black liquid that is used to power every gas powered vehicle   This is mined in ocean on oil rigs and on land
3. Natural Gas. A gas that is found under ground Underground

Write a paragraph and upload an image about each of these renewable energy.

1. Solar. Sun hits solar panels and causes electricity. Here are the top two countries that use solar are China and U.S.A                                                                              
2. Wind.   Wind turbines get spun by wind and cause electricity. Top two countries that use these are China and U.S.A again                                                                                            
3. Waves. Machines that capture waves and push air through turbines and the turbines spin. Waves go into a chamber and get stuck. Then they go into a machine. After that is pushes air through a turbine. The top two countries that use these are Ghana and Portugal.                                                                             
4. Hydro. They are kind of like water falls. water comes from a lake and go's into a hydro powered dam and pushes a turbine and causes electricity. The top two countries that us hydro are China and Brazil.                                                   

If My Shoes Were Alive

Today For community time we had to write about what if our shoes were alive. Here is my work.

When I would leave the house they would... Jump in there little shoe box car and drive away. Then they would go to the docks and jump in a shoe box boat and float away. They would sail around the world and go to different places. After that they would sail back to the docks. They would jump back into their shoe box car and drive to the shoe shop. Then they would get sold for $100. After they would run away and go back home. They would chase the dog around. After they would jump back in the shoe rack and be their when I get back.

Needs Vs Wants

This week for C.I.P we needed to do a needs vs wants poster. Here is my work.

C.I.P Week 8

Today we had to watch a video about mindful colouring.

We also had to make a colouring competition. We are doing this

for mindful art.

Some of the things we were talking about was. How many different

colouring competitions do we need to make? Who are these for? Is

their any different age groups for this.

I think to display this we should put the colouring in competition on

our blogs then you have to print it out. I think once your done you

send it to Hornby High school.

What do you think. Comment if you think something should be

changed.

Reading Week 7 & 8

This week we had to read the story and answer the questions of the struggle of Samoa's independence.

Question #1 How do you think they felt in 1900 when Samoa was taken from them. They felt heart broken. Why? Because their country had been taken from them. Things have changed. The Chiefs have lost their place as chiefs. The us navy had taken over Samoa and laws had changed

Question #2 What Challenges do you think they had to face. Their country had been taken, the laws had been changed,a disease had spread and people were getting killed.

Question #3 What is quarantine. Quarantine is something were if you have a disease that can kill. If it can spread really fast you get put quarantine. Influenza had spread and it had killed millions so they got thrown in quarantine.

Question #4 What questions do you have. I have one. Why was Samoa taken over.

Art Week 1 L1 😃

Today we had to find 5 facts about Sir Quentin Blake. Here they are.

Eco System

Today For science We had to watch a video about nature and answer these questions.

What animals keep our jackets warm?     Ducks

What animal makes our boots waterproof?    Cows

Where does the water in our rivers come from?  Snow

Why do we need healthy rivers?     To drink good water and catch

healthy fish

What are some of the good things about mosquitoes? They

keep water clean and feed fish and birds and pollinate plants

Why are bees dying?  There are heaps of reasons.. insecticides

What do bugs do to our leaves Eat them

Reduce

Reuse

Using the Scientific method of investigation:

Aim: What the experiment / investigation is about.

Japanese

This week for Japanese this week we did an introduction. (Kind of like a mihi) Here it is:

Family of 5 Sentences

Kindness

Today for C.I.P we had to describe this video and say the main aspect.





In the video there was a girl who asked her grandma if she could buy a cake for her grandpas birthday. But they couldn't and they left it at the counter. Then a man came and remembered when he was a child he asked if he could have a cake and his mum said no. Then a man bought the cake gave it to him and gave him a note. So he bought the cake for the girl. He gave her a not that. The grandma asked his name and said I am another man in the line.



The message is be kind to people. If someone does something nice to you. You have to do something nice to someone else.
