What is the Earth?

 Morning ;)

And welcome or welcome back to my blog!

This morning, the Year 7's (not the Year 8's, they were at a camp meeting), did a presentation about the Earth and two of the four spheres we have that makes Earth: The Geosphere and the Biosphere. It's a bit short.

The Earth: Homelearning/Homework

Welcome or welcome back to my blog!

This is my task for our homework. We had to make a facts sheet (or something like that), about the Earth so here's mine. Most facts I already knew and some I had to look online. Anyways, I hope you like it.

Mathletics

Morning ;) 

And welcome or welcome back to my blog!

Today we had Mathletics where the Room 4 maths class was split into different groups to compete in a math competition. My group was Norah-Jade, Lucian and Kauri. Each group were first given 2 sheets of paper of maths. Once those two were finished, we were given another set of 2 papers with different maths. 

While this was all going on, Mrs Stone and (I think maybe also Miss Hill), were giving out points to the different teams for things like teamwork and accuracy on the answers. My team came second to last. We were quite disappointed but it was quite hard anyways.

Cultural/Language Barriers

 Morning ;)

And welcome or welcome back to my blog!

This morning at Extension, Miss West gave us each papers with a poem by a famous Maori poet called Hinewirangi. The poem was titled, "Barriers". Kiarah and Kalani read the poem out loud, (there were two different people in the poem).

The poem was about somebody talking with Hinewirangi, trying to pronounce her Maori name but failing to do so. Then we had to answer the questions next to the poem about it. The main topic about the poem was about the cultural/language barriers. At the bottom, we were given a choice to either make a poster visualising the idea of the poem or something else but I forgot.

Anyways, Nadia and I wanted to do a poster. Here it is:

Y7&8 Extension Provocation: Watch this Space

 Morning ;)

And welcome or welcome back to my blog!

The following presentation is our first piece of Extension work for the term! Since our inquiry theme is, "Watch This Space" we'll be focusing a lot on our solar system. Miss West gave us a scenario shown on the first page of the slide deck. This project was really fun, I really enjoyed it!

The last page is a brainstorm of all the different projects we wanted to do/work on. Nadia and I wanted to make up/discover some theories about Mars, the Earth and what would happen to Earth if we moved to Mars? Potentially even theories about other galaxies and planets in other solar systems, (since our galaxy isn't the only one in the universe!).

Note: The colours on our names is the colour we write in on the different slides. My colour is mint/light green.

Earth Facts Animation

 Good Afternoon ;)

And welcome or welcome back to my blog!

Previously I blogged a "Earth Activity" task and for the create part, I decided to animate a presentation to state some facts BUT, I needed a character to say it to make things a little bit more interesting and I chose none other than... Richie Tozier from the movie IT! So, I placed his face onto a little rocket and made some speech bubbles with some facts about the Earth on it.

All you have to do is put the presentation into full screen, (for more affect) and then a bit slowly go to the next page because you'll want to be able to read the facts. But of course, not too slowly or else it'll end up looking weird.

Enjoy! :)

Watch This Space W1

Good Afternoon ;)

And welcome or welcome back to my blog!

This is my inquiry task about our planet Earth. We watched the video on the presentation as a class and we had to do this task back at our own tables. It was quite fun and the video was very intriguing.
