Parts Of The Atmosphere

Today we had Extension. Like in Team 5 we are also learning about the Atmosphere Biosphere Geosphere and Hydrosphere, but in more detail. Today we watched a series of videos and read some texts, to then answer this question. We talked to Mr Vogt about all the different ways parts of the atmosphere. It's all very intriguing, but here is a fraction of what I learnt. 

Significant Statistics

Here is my Statistics Maths Create Task. We had to make Graphs about , our lockdown life. I enjoyed this but I had trouble finding a use for the different graphs. I did eventually get to using other graphs but as you can see the way I'm using it isn't exactly the best way to present it. I want to continue working on that and hopefully in future I'll be able to improve.

Which Graph?

This week we looked at more graphs and did more Statistics. This time we matched the right type of graph to the reason we'd use it. I don't think I did this completely right but, in my opinion I think I completed this task at a decent level. I liked this task, it was a good mind teaser and it really helped me think about what kind of graphs are best to use. 

The Structure Of The Earth

Today we did some inquiry. This is an extra task, that we had the choice to do. It was basically an extra task that helped us memorise the layers of the Earth aka the Geosphere. It was a fun and easy task, and it did help me remember the layers.

The Geosphere

This term we are learning about the different parts of the world. We are learning what makes our planet sustainable for life and the different parts of it. Last week we learnt about the different stages of life, this week we learnt about the Geosphere which is the ground and everything beneath it.

I'm very well interesting in this topic. I don't know much about it since I never really had a reason to learn it. But I am very much enjoying it, and look forward to learning about the Hydro, Atmos and Bio-sphere.

Anzac Day

This year ANZAC day is going to be a bit different. It's one of the first years the dawn service and other ceremonies are going to be canceled. But we can still commemorate this day, by standing outside on our front drive way tomorrow at dawn. This is optional you can also do other things like make Anzac biscuits and get poppies.

Invention Of The Future

For this task we had to write a promotion about the a invention we designed for the future. It's something we think could be possible to make in 2057. I created the Sun-fly bike and you may have seen it in my previous posts. So basically this is the official advertisement if this thing becomes possible in the future.

Sun-Fly Bike (Labeled)

Here is my Invention, It's called a Sun-Fly Bike. I didn't label to much of this because everything else is just a normal motor bike. I did however label everything that made it special and life changing. So I labeled the Solar Panel just behind the seat. The wings, which aren't actually from bird just decorated like birds. And lastly the fact that there is no greenhouse gases  or anything being released from the bike.

Taha Whanau (Challenge)

Here a Taha Whanau Challenge. For this task we had to choose someone in our family and share 6 facts about them. I chose one out of my 2 sisters my older sister. She's the sibling share things with often. She's my best friend in the family, I guess it's because of our close age gap. Me and my older sister have a good social bond and it's always fun and games together.

Taha Wairua (Challenge)

This task was fun and really just reminded my of the things I treasure and value in life. It good to remember those things as we continue to fight against Covid-19.

Life in 2057

This week we learnt about crafting well written sentences. We looked at what we imagined the future will be like in 37 years time. We had to share 2-3 things we think will be possible in 2057 (THE FUTURE). Despite the fact that it's unpredictable, I think I can clearly say that technology will still play a big role in it. I enjoyed this task and can't wait to do more in the future!

Te Reo Maori (Conversations)

For this task we had to learn some Maori sentence, that we'd use in a conversations. We then had to make a comic strip and record ourselves speaking these sentences. I liked doing this task it was both fun and easy, and I probably will use these sentences in future. I can't wait to learn more!

Taha Tinana (Challenge)

Here is another Te Whare Tapa Wha Challenge. This one is Taha Tinana physical wellness. Please don't judge my ability to do push ups, I was already pretty tired from the first three times I did this challenge but yeah. I hope you enjoy me failing to do push ups properly. It was fun either way so that was a good thing I guess.

Sunfly-Bike

Here is my writing for the week. It's based of what we did last week when we wrote about what life would be like in 2057. We had to include a few things we think will be found. I don't know what life will be like then, but I do know that it will probably be easier and technology would've have evolved rapidly. 

For this task we had to draw/sketch 1 invention that we think will be found in the future. We then had to describe it in 2 words. After that we got to come up with 3 creative names for it. I found it to be a fun task it did also help me craft my sentence better. Looking forward to doing more and I hope you enjoyed!

Self Healing Sneaker

This week we learnt about grouping words. It's basically putting words together to form sentences. I enjoyed this task and I still have trouble with it but with some practice, I'm hoping to get better at it.  Along with that we also had to record ourselves reading the highlighted sentences once we had grouped the words together. The text was about self healing sneakers since we have been learning about the future.

Taha Hinengaro (Challenge)

This is another Te Whare Tapa Wha Challenge for this challenge we had to write down 5-10 inspirational quotes. I did exactly that I then I put them in a box for my future self. They still remain in there and anytime I feel like I need inspiration encouragement or support, I know where to find it!

Line Graphs

Today for mather we looked at line graphs and they are usually used to track or present the change or course of something over time. We looked it how it's similar to a bar graph except it focuses on one particular thing instead of comparing different things. I like this task espacia

Taha Tinana (Challenge)

Here is another Te Whare Tapa Wha Challenge. It wasn't my favourite and I wasn't able to do it in the video but I did end up being able to do it now. But in this video I have included all my failed attempts this is one of the hardest challenges in my opinion. I will however say that you'll be able to do it over time and some practice so, be patience.

We Are The World

This Term we are learning about the Earth. That's a very broad topic so I'm going to explain in detail what exactly we are learning about. So millions and billions of years ago the Earth started to form, there were different parts chemicals and stuff involved. Eventually the Earth came to be habitable and started to sustain life. There are different parts to sustaining life we are learning about the Earth's "spheres". The Atmosphere, Biosphere, Hydrosphere and Geosphere, and how they all play a role in sustaining life.

In this presentation about we learnt about the different stages and I quote "The 5 mile stones" which are important because it was those things that show the different stages the Earth went through before it was fully developed and safe to live on.
