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. 

Theme

 Moral of the story

For the past 2 weeks we have been doing drama and reading mixed.  We are doing drama with Miss Clark and reading with Miss Birch.  In reading,  we have been looking at what the moral of the story is,  the theme.  Shelby and I have been doing the theme of Tangled.  Our DLO is a google slide.  Here is our slide.

I think next time I want to do a Roald Dahl book or David Walliams book because I like their books.  I think they should do a book together.

Non-Fiction Reading Activity

Non-Fiction Reading Activity

In reading,  for a couple weeks we have been looking at some protests.  Some of the things we have looked at is Women Rights or just protests in general.   We had to use this chart and make a 3-in-a-row bingo.  They had a question on them you would answer.  Here is what I did.

Non-Fiction Reading Activity

Opinions:

What is your opinion on the topic you read about ?  How do you feel about the issue ? 

My opinion on this is I think it’s really unfair about them only paying the women half of what they gave the men.  I feel really angry and kind of sad because it should always be even for everything,  especially money.  

What I learned:

What are two new pieces of information that you learned from the text?  

I learned about women rights and what happened back in the day.  I also learned about 2011 earthquakes that changed the country forever.  I am very sad that it happened but also don’t regret that it happened because it makes Christchurch into the Christchurch we love.

Interesting fact:

Explain the most interesting thing you learned from the reading and why it stood out for you. Be specific and reference the text.

The most interesting part of the reading that I really liked was the bit where I found out women mostly have equal rights right now.  It should be all equal but I hope its all equal one day.

Try guess what bingo I did!

Inclusiveness

Inclusiveness 

For a couple weeks we have been doing some Inclusiveness slides.  I have just finished mine cause I was away for some time.  In this I have written what I think Inclusive is,  what it's not etc.  Here is my slide. 

 Someone has judged me before and I used to lose it!  But no I kinda of just brush it off and say oh well it is what it is.  When I got upset about it i felt frustrated I couldn't do anything about it.  I have learned to just not care what people say about you and also to stand up to people if they and judging you or others about something,  especially if it's racist.  If I saw someone getting left out I would try and go over to them to help them and then probably hang out with them.

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.

WW1

Women in WW1

This week and a little bit of last week we had to make a DLO about the women in Word War 1.  I made a google drawing.  We had to answer and few questions and do a paragraph about the women in WW1.  This is my google drawing.

I think that the women in WW1 should have been paid the same as the men did.  They should have got paid the same because they are doing the same jobs.  I think the women should have got a choice if they work or not.  If they chose not to they should have still got paid so they can still live.  The women should always get paid the same as any men because if it's the same job then say pay,  that's how it should have worked. 

DLO Reading

 DLO Reading

In reading,  we did a DLO of 4 facts about gold mining and 4 facts about Chinese.  I did a google slide and I like the facts I did.  Here is my google slide. 

I think for next time I will do 8 facts about each one because I found it really easy with only 4 facts about each.

Do you like my post ? 

What could I do differently next time ? 

Primary and Secondary Source

Primary and Secondary Source

Primary and secondary sources are almost the same but different.   This is what I have learnt from Secondary sources. 

Primary sources is the original source of information.  It could be a diary,  manuscript,  recording,  etc.  Primary sources is usually is more important the Secondary sources.

Secondary sources is the after story.  It's what happens after what you have already heard from the Primary sources.  Secondary gets the information from the primary sources,  A book,  textbook,  website, etc.
