Culture Kete

Culture Word Meanings

This week we are starting a new kete. We are doing a culture kete. It's all about cultures and how they are different, we also had to put photos with the words to see what it meant. Here is my google drawing.

 EOTC - Recount

Adrenaline Forest

My favourite part of Adrenaline Forest / Spencer Park was going on level 4 with Tahnesha.  It was very scary on the second part of level 4 because I couldn't do it by myself.  Tahnesha did level 4 with me because I was scared,  she helped me get past the second part of level 4.  My least favourite part was the start.  The reason why it was my least favourite is because I didn't really know how to do it.

Christchurch City Centre

My favourite part of Christchurch City Centre was the museum.  The museum was my favourite part because I liked going to look at the olden day stuff.  My least favourite part of the trip was the Library.  That was my least favourite because we didn't get much time and it was only a tour of the Library.

Jellie Park

My favourite part about Jellie Park was the hydro slides.  These were my favourite cause I went down alot and I also went with my friends!  I think having to leave was my least favourite part because it was so much fun.  This trip was my favourite because I got to hang out with my friends without any arguing.

Health

Gender  &  Smoking 

For a couple of weeks we have been doing health.  We have been look at health crisis.  We had a really long list to look at and chose one to research about.  I chose smoking because I know somewhat about smoking.  I made a chart on men and women,  and age groups on who smokes more.  I found out men smoke more.

I think people should stop smoking and start chewing gum to help you stop smoking.

Do you know anyone that smokes ?

What is your opinion about smoke

Planet Detective

Planet Detective 

What are reasons Mercury lost most of its atmosphere ?
There is a very thin layer of atmosphere around the planet.  It always getting " blown away "  into space by the pressure of the sunlight and by the solar wind.

Compare how close Mercury & the Earth are to the sun.

Mercury's distance from the sun is 57.717  million km.

Earths distance away from the sun is 151.21 million km.

Compare how much mass Mercury & the Earth have.
Mercury's mass is 3.285e+23.   
Earth's mass is 5.972e+24

How does not having an atmosphere affect the temperature ?
The clouds reflect on the heat of the sun away from the planet.  The winds circulate heat from hot places to cool places.  " Greenhouse "  Gases hold in the heat of the planet.

Kirsty and I think that it would be best to get an Axolotl because it's cheaper and easier to look after, there is less to do so that they won’t have to take time to prepare work for the students to get a pet. 

Kirsty and I also discussed that you don’t need that much money to get the things because instead of getting the expensive brands you can get the budget brands.
