Hi  Lotte here. Today in Lockdown I have been researching about Ashgabat a practically abandoned city found in the strange country of Turkmenistan I made a podcast and a podcast script about it. The hardest part of this task was definitely going into Lockdown I had already done some research on it but I had left it at school the day we went into Lockdown but its okay now. I hope you enjoy this post! Kia Kaha stay safe and wash your hands.     

Harrison- The History of Dogs

 

The history of dogs

 Today for at home school one of our can dos were history on dogs above is some research on the history of dogs and some pictures of my unties dogs and our dog Alfie I hope you like it. The easiest part for me was watching the video on the history of dogs because all you had to do is listen. And the most difficult part for me was remembering all the information from the video.

Katelyn- Ghost Cities

 

 

Hi. In New Zealand, there is a lockdown. Which means that it is online school again. Before lockdown, at school we have been learning about ghost cities. We had to pick a ghost city from this website. I choose tianducheng in China, it is a replica of paris. Then we had to make something to teach others about it too. I made a slide show, News report, Video, Podcast and a website. I am really proud of myself and happy that I have made all of this so that people can learn in different ways about tianducheng. I enjoyed this activity because it was fun to learn about something different because in class, we usally do not research about ghost cities. This was difficult because this work was due tommorrow and all I had was a few things on the website and a facts. But I tried my hardest to make all of this. On the website I was trying to put the podcast that I made onto it but it was not working. I hope you learnt something from this. 

Here is my website that I made https://sites.google.com/paroagrey.school.nz/tianducheng-replica-of-paris/home

I hope you enjoyed :)

Katelyn's Energy Inquiry

 

Inquiry - Potential and Kinetic Energy - By Katelyn

 

In class, we have been learning about an energy topic. We got to choose a type of energy. I choose to do Potential and Kinetic energy because I thought that it was going to be fun and because I like learning about Potential and Kinetic energy. We already learned about Potential and Kinetic energy last term/1st term for the year 2021 and I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed making this because I like to make things that can teach others with what I learned. This was difficult because I was stressed, I thought I was not going to finish it. But after an hour or so, I finished it. I made a speech and two microphones as well because one of the things that have potential and kinetic energy is a microphone, when you drop the mic after saying something epic or funny or if you just wanted to do that. 

Hope you enjoyed :)

Katelyn- Volcanoes

 

Brainstorm Of Volcanoes

 

Today my class is going to athletics. Miss Farr (my teacher) is doing discuss so she is not here either so the rest of the class htat did not make it in athletics, has to be split up. I am in Taiao. Taiao is the class next to Whenua. (Whenua is my class) Miss Farr sent us activities to do when we are split today. One of the activies was for reading, we had to make a brainstorm about what we know about volcanoes with 2 people or 3. I worked with Elise. Miss Farr gave us a set of question that she said we could answer if we wanted to. I choose to but Elise did not. (that is fine that she did not because it was optional) I enjoyed this activity because it was fun to work with Elise. I would never really work with Elise in class but I might have a different thoughts about who I work with next time. This was difficult because I do not really know that much about volcanoes but I am happy that Miss Farr told us to.

Milla- Oil Spills

 

Oil spills

 

  Hi how are you. today we did Oil spills, as year 6's we don't go to tech like the year 7 and 8's do so when there at tech we do oil spills. so we had to do a drawing on a piece of paper or on our Chromebook I think I was the only one that did it on my Chromebook but I'm not sure. fire extinguishers burn oil so that why I did a fire extinguisher. I had to use shapes to make the fire extinguisher (the bubbles took forever to do but I managed). thanks for reading. Milla

Katie-Oil Spill

 

Oil spill solution.

Hello, For a few weeks we have been learning about oil spills. We did an experiment, we got an container and put water in it, then we put canola oil in it then penguins and we had to save the penguins and figure out how to   get the oil out of the water. Next we draw a picture on how we could pick up the oil if it was in the sea. I draw a rubber ducky with hair on the bottom and on the beak. you can release and dip the beak in the water because it also has hair and fur on it. For disposal I had the idea to burn it in an oven or fire or something like that. Hope you enjoy.

Wood is Good

 Today Wood is Good and the Road Safety truck came to our school to talk about the logging industry and how to stay safe around trucks. We really enjoyed exploring the road safety truck and learning about the different career choice that are available in the forestry industry. We also heard about the way that the forestry industry work to ensure that the work they do is sustainable.
