Hazardous plan.

We have been learning about how to work collaboratively. 
We have been working on our plan for our DLO.
I think we done a great job on our Inquiry plan.
What I found hard about the Inquiry plan was getting all the information together and trying to put it into our own words.
Here is our Inquiry plan.

Hazardous waste Inquiry.

We have been learning how to work collaboratively.
To be successful we had to:
First come up with an inquiry plan do make a DLO.
Next we had to make a video about our inquiry purpose and it had to show that we could work collaboratively.
Also we had to overcome our problems.
Here is a question for you,
Were we able to unpack the learning?

I was the recorder. It was very hard because I could not hold the phone still.
But we found easy was getting each movie scene perfect.
My next is to try hold the camera in one place.
Here is our video and our script.

Tall form division. I mean Short form division. Enjoy.

We have been learning about Short Form Division.
To be successful we had to:
Make a slideshow that explained what Short Form Division was.
We also had to explain How Short Form Division worked.
And had to atleast do three examples about short for division.

What I found hard was doing the example.
What I found Fun was learning about Short Form Division.

I think we were successful because first we were able to make a slideshow that explained how and what Short form division was.

Designed for the dump!

WALT use write cause and effect sentences.

To be successful we had to:

1. Think about an cause (event) and what happens because of it (effect)
2. Use cause and effect connectives such as because of this, as a result, as a consequence and when this happens…
3. Check that full stops are at the end of the idea (remember it will be simple, compound or complex)

I think I was successful because I was able to write a paragraph with enough information in it to hook my readers in. 

What I found easy was coming up with a Cause and Effect because we had already been learning about Cause and effect.

My topic was. How E-waste becomes ( Designed for the dump)

First of all I think that people should stop making new gadgets! Why I think this is because People are making things and the buyers and buying them and just throwing their old gadgets out. I think that that is a worldwide problem! Some people like to call that Designed for the dump, which means that people are making new gadgets that we all buy and when we break it we buy new gadgets all over again. Designed for the dump is bad. As a result it is causing environmental problems because we are shoving more and more rubbish into our landfill and 25 tons of E-Waste goes to the landfill everyday.

Here are some photos of us dismantling our computer systems.

 

 

 

                                          

Boogie nation.

W.A.L.T: Use note taking skills putting others ideas into our own words.
In our class we have been learning about elements of dance. The dance element are awareness, space and time. The ideas I like dancing to are marching, gliding and doing freeze frames.

We put together a story mixed with facts but put into our own words.

E-waste is bad for the environment!

This was my question, How do electronic devices become E-Waste?

Well firstly it could become out of fashion or become obsolete (UseLess).

Also it could break. Obviously another way devices could end up in the dump is because things get upgraded! This is stuffing our landfills and dumps with E-Waste! For example, You could have your computer for about two years then it gets upgraded and you want a new one. So you go ahead and buy it and of course you have already thrown the old one out right? Don't deny it we all do it. This is so heart breaking!

We are making a class dance about Electronic waste.

Here is some videos and some pics of us doing freeze frames and dancing.

Tarawera.

I have been learning to infer. Hi guys, today I have done some work around the book Tarawera.
First we had to write our answers for the questions we had,
Next we wrote the words that were hard for us to read.
Then we wrote sentences that included our hard words,
after that we wrote facts about Mount Tarawera that was 125 words long.
Then write our sources.
The thing I found hard was answering the questions.
My next step is to try and know all of the hard and easy words in my text.

1.    Why was it a surprise when Mount Tarawera erupted?

          Because they believe that Mount Tarawera was extinct.

   

     2. Was Te Wairoa a well known village before the eruption? Yes How do I know? In the text it talks about the fame pink and white terraces.

    3. What happened to the three children who were with Mrs Hazard? They died except for Mrs Hazard.

   4. Was the village of Te Wairoa rebuilt? No How do you know that? It is the remnants of this village that the tourists of today came to see.

                      

                                           Hard words.

                                             Poigant

                                           Torrents

                                          Remnants Couldn't come up with a sentence.

                                           

The people of Te Waiora were Poignant because of the volcanic eruption.

Some waters of N.Z are very Torrent such as The Mount Ruapehu river and Lake Taupo.

Did you know that The eruption lasted six hours and caused massive destruction. It destroyed several villages, along with the famous silica hot springs known as the Pink and White Terraces. Approximately 120 people, nearly all Māori, lost their lives.

In the early hours of 10 June, people awoke to earthquakes, lightning, fountains of molten rock, and columns of smoke and ash up to 10 km high. People as far away as Blenheim heard the eruption. Some thought it was an attack by a Russian warship. A 17-km-long rift split Mt Tarawera and extended as far south as Waimangu. The eruption covered land with millions of tonnes of ash and debris, transformed lakes, and flattened bush.

Also  Te Wairoa, known as The Buried Village, later became a tourist attraction.

Co-ordinate Graph.

W.A.L.T: Read coordinate graphs. I think we were successful because we were able to make a slideshow with enough examples to teach others about coordinate graphs.
