Whakaari white island

For inquiry this week we had to write about what happend on Whakaari White island. “Whakaari” means white so you don’t have to call it Whakkari white island you can just call it white island or Whakaari island. On Whakaari island there were 47 people alive and it went down to 25 so in total 22 people died.                                                                     

Poem DLO

For our task we made a poem use a noun, adjectives, verbs,4 word noun phrase and  synonym. A noun is a named thing or person. A adjectives is describing the noun.

Verbs are actions words the you can do. 4 word phrase is 4 words that come together but it is not a full sentence. Synonym is another word for something.

Maths

For maths this term group 4 has been doing word problem with division times plus and minus, it was pretty easy to solve them especially with the help of my friends. The reason we do word problems is so we can  identify the key Information in the word problem. We love doing Word problems for maths because it helps us use the strategies that we have used in the past year. 

Why Maungarei sleeps

Back, far back in the mist of time when the world was very young a volcano called “Maungarei” , the fire mountain, woke up. She was tired yet angry at the same time. She was angry because she was the middle child and was always being left out by her siblings and parents. She started raging, the moment she was raging magma started flying from her mouth, flooding the land around her. When she clamed down she felt really guilty about what she had done. Being so young she couldn’t control herself in that state. She tried to sleep away the feelings of guilt and loneliness but couldn’t. She started sobbing and kept on sobbing and sobbing until she fell asleep

 

The next day Maungarei woke up wondering why no one was around her

“Where did everyone else go?” a confused Maungarei uttered.

 

The people that ran away did not go that far just as far where the magma wont reach them, the people were mad at Maungarei for destroying their land and crops. The people yelled out to Maungarei “Where not coming back until you say sorry and say you will never explode ever again” The angry people said.

 

So Maungarei agreed and said “Okay I’m sorry for my actions and I promise I will never ever explode ever again” so the people were happy that they could come back to their land and get together with Mangarei again.

I used adobe express AI for this task and the prompt I used was “A angry volcano with angry human face” this task was really hard because it wouldn’t get the image I wanted so I changed the prompt

 

Volcano Animation

LI: To Understand how a volcano erupts

This week for Inquiry I created a showcase about an animation of a volcano. We did this task in groups and showed how the volcano erupted. 

First we watched a YouTube video on how the tectonic plates reacted during an explosion, and how the lava makes its way up. The cause of an eruption is like a volcano doing a big burp.

Next we started the animations. The animations showed how the tectonic plates merge together and blow up making the lava its way up.

Lastly, I finished my task and blogged about what I did.

I enjoyed learning about how the volcano erupts.

 

 

 

Poppy Research

For ANZAC LS2 did a poppy research for ANZAC. In this research we made questions and what happend it World War 1. For this task we had to work in groups and once we finished this we had to present it. our presentation was pretty good but when it was my turn I started stuttering but I think its because I wasn’t confedince. some  feedback for me is to try be more confedince and that’s all.

Samuel Marsden podcast

                                                                                                                                                                                                              LS2 made a podcast about Samuel Marsden and about what he saw while he was sailing

down the tamaki river. We had 4 people be the host and ask Samuel Marsden the question. The types of questions we asked was was he scared when he sailed down the river or perhaps proud. And in the first verse the host are claimed as time travelers and we brang back Samuel Marsden from 1820. This task was a little hard because my group wouldn’t focus but we eventually got it.

Photo story

2 Days ago the whole of panmure bridge school went on a walk along the tamaki river. The class that was walking first was LS2 since we are the seniors of the school. We were walking long tamaki river until we reach Pt England. we played on the park for about 30 minutes and then we left to go back to the school.
