Miro G- Armageddon

 Today we had to do a quiz about the current events and then research the thing one of the questions was about. The question I chose was, "Armageddon Expo celebrated its 25th anniversary this year. What is Armageddon expo?". I researched everything I could find about the convention. I would have added more but the school blocks the Armageddon site. To be BTB I could have searched more on different websites.

Katelyn- Current Events

 

A Green Dog named Pistacchio

 

Today we did a quiz. My group got 6 out of 20. The quiz is really hard. After the whole class did the quiz Miss Farr (our teacher) said we have to research and put it on our blog about one of the questions. I choose to do the mysterious green dog because I love animals and it is crazy that a dog can turn colors in the wound.

I enjoyed this activity because it wasn't how we do the quiz thing because Miss Farr usually picks one of the questions from the quiz and pick one that is interesting to her. 

It was difficult because we only had 30 minutes to do this.

I really hope you enjoyed it :)

Dion's Ōhau News Report

 Hello, this is some news that I and my friends made a news report about the fires in Ohau that just happened the hard part was getting the information for the news report and the easy part was saying it to the camera the plus side was it was fun and we worked in a group so to me it wasn't working it was just fun!  

Position and direction

On Monday we began our unit on position and direction and started exploring the idea of Cartesian co-ordinates. We had a lot of fun trying to work out how to explain where we thought the counter was before adding any form of grid to our paper. We then learnt about René Descarte, the story of the fly and  how he invented the Cartesian plane. 

Today we were using the Cartesian plane method to mark treasure on a map of our school and then give directions. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the chocolate at the end of the treasure hunt!

Electricity- Curtis

 

Today we have been exploring the current, voltage, and how it works. Current is the way that electron moves through the circuit which activates and deactivates the light. Voltage is the force that makes the electrical current. The table that we all made is what we used so that we can record the results otherwise it can get confusing. We found out our results by making the light thing and then checking if it works and then what we think it will be like if it is bright we can just say it is bright or something like that. I made those predictions because that is just what I thought because anything can be big or small so the small amounts are what I thought would be big.

Narrative Writing- Dion

NZ Land Wars- Miro G

 

 This is a timeline about the New Zealand land wars.

It was kind of hard because I had to change the words to something different from the book we were getting the information from, otherwise, I would be plagiarising.
