D.L.O ( Digital learning object) about habitat destruction

 Hello my fellow readers! 

This term in Mrs Jones inqury group we have been foucsing on endangered animals. The first thing we did was watch videos about endangered animals and what has happened. Next we  learn't how animals get endangered. After that we looked at imformation about endangered animals and we had to do a slideshow about endangered animals. for the last two weeks we have been learning about habitat destruction, and  making a D.L.O ( digital learning object) about habitat destruction and facts about it. We needed to include how habitat destruction is caused, what will effects does it give to the habitats, etc. Once we finished our D.L.O ( digital learning object) we need to blog! What I found challenging was adding lots of detail, making sure everthing  made since was very easy.  Have you ever made a D.L.O ( digital learning object) before?

D.L.O about a possum

 Hello my amazing readers!

This week in Miss McLeods group Jk rowling we have been learning about possums. We first read a story called the possum problem. In the story it talked about why people are killing possums and what they're using their fur for. I found out that there using their fur for clothing and selling it for money. Today we read a story on our chromebooks called designed for good. After I finished reading the story I needed to do a D.L.O ( digital learning object) about possums. It wasn't that challenging reading the story, but doing the D.L.O was. Have you done a D.L.O before?

Ocean Zones

 Hey Readers!

Last week in Miss McLeods reading group my group Jk rowling learnt about the ocean zones. The first thing we did was read a story about the ocean zones then we  watched a video about the ocean zones and what animals live in the zones. After we finished watching the video we had to do what animals live in what area of water level. Sunlight, midnight, twilight, the abyss, and the trench are the zones of the ocean.  Once we finished watching the video we had to make a graph about the ocean zones and it what area of the ocean certain animals live for e.g penguins live at the 200 meters below the ocean. Then we were surrpost to do a D.L.O ( digital learning object) about the ocean zones but I didn't have enough time to do that. Making the graph was easy, finding out what zone the animals live in because we had to find it.  Have you learn't about ocean zones? 

Lemon Sugar Scrub

 Kia Ora Readers!

Yesturday in Miss McLeod's reading group Jk rowling my group were making lemon hand scrub. The first thing we did was we read with Miss Cornish ( student teacher!)  the story was called up the pipe. The story was about these children who did an experiment about what type of home supplies  have chemicals in them or not. After we read the text we planned the steps of making the lemon scrub. We added the ingredients and steps of making the mixture. Once we got into the wet space we got into groups of four or three. The people in my group were, An, Sophie, Jed and me.  Then we got started I first added 1 cup of vegetable into the mixture. After that I squezed some lemons with Sophie, into a bowl. Once we finished adding everything into the mixture, we started mixing it all together, we all took turns until it was perfect. Then my group got to try the lemon hand scrub, we first washed our hands next we used the hand scrub. The scrub felt very ticklish but also very relaxing on my hands when in the moment. After we washed our hands we all added some lemon hand scrub into our containers we brought.  

Here is the ingredients:

2 or 3 lemons 

2 cups of sugar

1 cup of vegetable oil 

Mix everything together and if you want you may zest a lemon to change the texture a bit. 

What I found challenging was making sure I didn't make a mess, what I found easy was mixing the mixture together. 

Vegetable poem

 Hey Readers!

Last week in Miss McLeod's writing group we got to write a vegetable or flower poem to get entered into the flower festival. The first thing we did was  look at some examples of poems, and we also got to comment on something we realised about the poems. Then we planned what we were going to use in our poem. For the first poem I chosse to do it about a cucumber, but the thing is  I could only submit one. Planing about the vegetable was challenging at first but once I got help from Miss Cornish ( Student Teacher) I got the hang of it. It took me awhile to figure out what type of poem I wanted to do for the cucumber. In the end I chosse to submit my what am I poem because that's what most people enjoyed. Editing the poems were easy, picking which poem I wanted was tricky because they were both really amazing, 

Are you submiting a poem for the flower festival

Have you done a Vegetable poem before? 

Here is my poem.. Don't look at what the vegetable is until you read the poem. 

Calender/dot art

 Hey Readers!

During this term we have been foucusing on calender. We first got to pick two choices of our art, the options were falling down a tunnel, dot art, and lastly kandinsky. I picked dot art and falling down a tunnel. The group I got into was dot art with Miss McLeod. For the first week of dot art we used cotton buds to color in a dot art coloring page. We had to pick four colors I used teal peach and two other colors which I forgot what they were. The next week we made our draft some of us got to use compass ( not the north south east west one by the way).  I struggeled using it so I used a cup after a while of messing up. After we finished doing our draft some people got to test out doing the dots on our drafts. Once we finished that we started our real verson we needed to be really carefull because if we rubbed it out it would leave marks. Anyways I think this blurb is a bit big now so here is the end product.

Measuring in Maths

 Hey Readers!

During this week in homerooms for maths we have been doing measuring and capasity. For the first day we got to use glasses and add water and after that we checked how much water there was by using measuring cups.  We did that type of measuring for a week then last week we had to make a slide and name it Measuring. It had to include the steps we used and a graph we made etc. The hardest part about the measuring trying to measuring how much was really in the cups that we used and something else which is in the slide.  Making the slide was easy because I only needed to write what we did etc. Have you done slides before?
