Online learning Term 3 Week 10 2021

 

Hello, for this week i have done a lot of learning like reading, writing, and maths.

For reading i read a bit of books and learnt about diabetes and what the two type

of diabetes mean. For writing i wrote a explanation about how our body works

but mainly about our brain. But before i wrote and explanation i made a plan about

it. Lastly for maths i solved some problems and did a bit of addition and subtraction.

I also learnt more about clocks to see how they work and to learn the different times.

For my create choice i used a pice of paper, a pencil, and clear tape to see what my 

fingerprint looks like on my index finger. My favourite part about this week was 

getting to learn different times on a clock and to get a better understanding of clocks.

How does our body work?

Our brain

Introduction

Our brain may not seem like the most interesting part of our body But we actually use it all the time when we are thinking of something or remembering something.

Our brain sits in our thick skull with membranes and fluid around it to protect it. Inside of our brain we have something called a cerebrum which is the biggest part of our brain and The surface of the cerebrum is called the cerebral cortex. Different parts of the cerebrum deal with different parts of the body.

Sometimes we tend to forget things in our brain and that’s called memory. There are two different kinds of memory like short term memory and long term memory but scientists are still trying to figure out how memory works. But they know that short term memory means that you remember things for a short amount of time without rehearsing or practicing it.

The brainstem is what connects to the spinal cord. Also many automatic functions are controlled here like keeping the heart beat, breathing, and digesting food.

Although the brain doesn’t move it needs lots of energy so the energy is sent to the brain by the blood. And the brain actually uses about 20 percent of the body's energy.

The brain is put into two halves. Because thenerves cross when they enter the brain, the left side of our brain controls the right half of our brain and the right side of the brain controls the left half. What each half does depends on whether you're right handed or left handed.

The day i woke up with superpowers

Introduction

A few days ago me and my family took a trip to New York for 2 weeks. We stayed in this very expensive hotel and because we were staying there for 2 weeks we had to bring a lot of clothes. We even got to see the Statue of Liberty from a distance. 

For Breakfast we had these amazing bagels at this breakfast place and for our drinks we had strawberry and chocolate milkshakes. When we got back to our hotel room we took another drive around New York. Once we finished eating our dinner we went on our ipads for a little bit and slowly went to sleep.

The next morning I woke up feeling dizzy and like I was floating in the air. I looked down and AHHHHHHH… I'm floating. My brother came into the room. After he saw me floating in the air he screamed at me. When we

went into the kitchen in our hotel we saw that our parents made us breakfast but they gave us a note saying that they were out shopping at the supermarket for food we can bring home. Once my mum and dad got home I couldn't tell them that I was floating in the air because then they would think that I'm not telling the truth. My parents got us some snacks we can try on the table. When I was eating the snacks I started shaking and I slowly started to...FLOAT so I ran outside before they saw that I could float and ran outside. 

I had to test out and figure out why I'm floating in the air so I just calmed down. I slowly started shaking and floated in the air and I went higher and higher. Wow, I started flying around all the buildings in New York. I was up in the air and this cape magically appeared on my back and I finally got control of myself in the air. This was the best thing that has ever happened to me. 

I pressed this button on my cape and there was fire coming out of my hand without it burning me. After that crazy moment in the air flying I went on my ipad to go check out what this cape is and where it came from. It said that the last person who wore it was called star man and that the cape chooses who to pick to become a superhero and to save the world from these very dangerous people that are super villains. One thing I can never do is to tell my parents that I'm now a superhero that can fly in the air, not even my little brother because he tells everyone everything and he never keeps secrets.

Online Learning Term 3 Week 8

 

Hello, For this week i have done a lot of work. The topic for this week is balanced diets and what's healthy to eat when your doing a balanced diet. For maths i did a little bit of decimal numbers and figured out some maths problems. I read some books and i put down what's the healthiest to What's the unhealthiest foods in a food pyrimad. for writing i wrote about if everyone in the whole world were to be vegetarian. My favourite part about this week was making an origami for our home learning choice boards where you can choose any activity to do at your house. I answered some questions about healthy eating and balanced diets and created my own DLO about balanced diets and what they actually are. I did a bit more things on my slide for this week in lockdown that you can also go check out!

Facts and opinions

Should New Zealand Open Its borders?

Introduction

The border is where we can travel outside of New Zealand but if the government decides to close its borders then it might be because something has happened or like now it's because we’re in lockdown and no one can come to New zealand.

I think that we should not open the borders because then other people can come to new zealand without knowing there is covid 19 in new zealand. Another reason why is because people can also bring covid 19 here and that's mainly how people get coronavirus in their countries.

Firstly i think we shouldn’t open the borders simply because covid 19 spreads everywhere and it's really risky if we would open the borders.

But I do think that we should open the borders when everything is clear and there are no more cases in New Zealand.

Secondly i think we shouldn’t open the borders because it would help us get less cases from people traveling to New Zealand instead of the borders being open so everyone from around the world can give us covid 19.

If we would open the borders than people from around the world probably wouldn’t get warnings that we are in lockdown and if we

there would be no point because we can’t travel while we are in lockdown.

Lastly i think that we shouldn't open the borders because its very dangerous and if we wanted to open the borders i think we should wait until there are no cases.

Culture Significance Term 3 Week 5

 

Hello my name is Brooklyn and for this week we have been doing reading writing

and math in lockdown. For this week we had to read 3 online books, we did a few math

my name in chinese and make a collage about new zealand or and culture you would 

like to pick. what its mainly about is all the cultures and in the slides there were some

questions of your thoughts on those questions. My favourite thing we did with online

Are hakas good for you?

Statement of points

           

                                      Are hakas good for you?

Introduction

I think that hakas are good for us because we can learn new hakas and try something. Another reason why is because we can perform hakas in front of people.

Firstly, I think that hakas are good for us because they can be used to scare off an opponent and because there are more than one haka you can learn from. When people perform hakas there are a lot of different places to perform hakas like at school’s, rugby games, on stage and a lot more places, and when they perform they could be performing more than one haka.

Traditionally hakas were made for the men before they went to war and the word haka means war dance. When people do hakas they make aggressive facial expressions to scare off an opponent.

Secondly, I think that hakas are good for us because they are used as dances or challenges. Hakas sometimes would also be used when other people come to New Zealand so we welcome them to New Zealand with a haka or a dance.

Lastly, I think that hakas are good for us because it can be enjoyable to do the haka or there might be some actions that you like about hakas and dances. When people do haka they have a loud voice, sharp actions, and aggressive facial expressions. When your in school you can also join something called kapa haka and its where you can learn how to do hakas,songs,and dances with a whole group.
