Worm Farm Follow-up Tasks

 Hola,

 This week, our infobyte was called 'Worm Farms' I've got one at home, so I'm familiar with the process. Megan asked us to post some of our tasks to out blog, so here are my step by step process of making the worm farm and my poster encouraging people to use them.

My Pepeha

Hiya :) Today Megan asked us to use a website (link here) to create out Pepeha, depending if we knew it or we didn't, and to post it to our blog. I know mine, so I selected 'I know my Pepeha' and typed in my mountain, river, family name, etc. Its a cool website, easy to use and simple. 

Global Warming Follow-up Tasks

Hiya,

I'm back this week with some more follow-up tasks from Megan. These are tasks set for us after we read an info byte in our reading group. Usually, we have to pick some tricky or interesting words from the story and find the definition, then write them into our own sentence to show we understand what they mean. Our second task is often deciding on a subheading for each paragraph and some trigger words to help us remember what they are about. The third this time was a diagram around ho global warming works/is caused. The fourth is a poster warning people about the effects of global warming/climate change. The last follow-up task, number five, is always something creative. This week it was to make a something to help humans survive Climate change.

Down below are my third, fourth and fifth tasks.

Have an awesome day :)

Dan the Insect Man Restaurant

Hola, This week, our infobyte was called 'Insects- Future food.'. Yes, I know. It was about how we might have to eat insects in the future, as they'd be cheaper to produce and take up less space. I completed the follow-up tasks, and here's one of them- My bug restaurant menu. Well, the task was to create a three course meal, but I had time and I decided to make an menu because... well... why not? I also made this poster as part of the reading tasks, its about how we might need to get used to eating insects, they could become a usual snack. Or not. Anyway, here it is down below. Let me know if you'd eat any of these, or not, and why! Have an awesome day, Annelise :)

New Zealand in the 1970's

Hiya,

Last week, Megan asked us to research the 1970s in New Zealand, as this is where the book we are going to read is set. Drew, Giorgio and I formed a group of three and began searching. I focused on fashion, food and music, Drew on technology and Historical events was by Giorgio. I enjoyed this challenge, it was fun and simple. 

Rain Machine

Hiya,

Hope you guys had an awesome holiday, I did, it was fun to be able to hang out with friends :)

Today in Homeroom, Megan was away sick but she'd left us a blog challenge. This time we had to watch a short video, then think about some questions, and them make our own weather machine. My machine makes rain, what would yours make?

It would be really cool if you made one and linked it in the comments- though if you don't want to, you don't have too.

See you next week,

Annelise :)

Hungry Dragon Game

Hiya,

This week Megan has set us different challenges that focus on teamwork, We have made  stars for Matariki and today we made a game with a funny dragon that breathes fire and flies. We were challenged at first but once we followed instructions we were able to create our game together. The instructions are easy, The arrow keys move you in any direction but when you press the space bar makes you spin. The aim of the game is to collect as many doughnuts as possible!
