Mueseum DLO

The whole panmure bridge went to the museum and went to go visit the dinosaurs and the volcano.what we learnt and saw about the volcanoes is what obsidian, volcanic bomb, basalt, pumice and andesite. What we learnt about the volcanoes are how many types of volcanoes there are which is Volcanic Fields, Cone Volcanoes and Caldera Volcanoes. What we saw in the dinosaur part was the dinosaur fossils and the moa which was the biggest bird in the world standing at 12 feet tall. There was this hall of memories which showed which soldiers died in the anzac war and we got to see a gun called the 25 pounder. 

Procedural text

LS2 found dinosaurs from the eggs and everyone got different dinosaurs and I got a parasaurolopus with my partner, vili. after we found the dinosaurs we had to make a prototype out of paper of the dinosaurs. after we did that we had to make instructions on how to make the dinosaur and the instructions and to be really specific. after we did that we put the instructions on a document.

Tongan word problems

For Tongan language week LS2 made Tongan word problems for maths. The Tongan word problems  had to include multiple equations like times, dividing, addition, fractions and subtracting and me and my friend decided to use fractions. it was quite hard to solve but I figured it out.

Paired Research Challenge

For this task LS2 have been working about dinosaurs, my teacher Mrs Anderson bought some dinosaur skeletons and helped us make our own dinosaur eggs and we had to wait two weeks to break them open. After two weeks LS2 broke open the eggs and everyone got different types of dinosaurs, this task included partners. The dinosaur me and my partner Vili got was a parasaurolopus. The parasaurolopus was a dinosaur with a long hollow crest on its head which the parasaurolophus can use to communicate. Me and Vili created a Google video and it was about the parasaurolophus.

Panda Research

For this task some people from LS2 Got to choose what task to do if you didnt go swimming and i was one of those people. And the task i chose was to make a panda research you could also choose to pick a partner so i chose my friend. Me and my friend decided to do Habitat, Diet and appearance and by the time we finished our class came back from swimming.

Fossils

LI: To understand how scientists know so much about dinosaurs.

LI: To recognise different types of fossils and how they are formed.                       

Our challenge was to create a Google Draw that shows clearly labelled  examples of each fossil type.

Something I found interesting was that trace fossils are footprints of the animals of what they ate and trails of the these prehistoric animals which is how paleontologists learn what were the dinosaurs diets.

 

 

 

Mary anning

LI: To create a DLO that tells Mary Annings story from her perspective story.

Before we take part in our own dinosaur dig LS2 were challenged to capture the story behind Mary Anning, a pioneering fossil hunter and paleontologist during the early 19th century.
Something I learnt was that Mary anning found the first Plesiosaurus fossil ever.

What do Paleintologist do

Paleontologists are scientists who study fossils and they preserve these remains of ancient plants and animals. They dig fossils from the ground, examine them, and figure out what life was like millions of years ago. Their work helps us understand Earth’s history and how living things have changed over time.

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.
