My Fact Poster

This is my poster about our topic Space. Neil Armstrong was the first human to take the first step on to the moon.  ON the 20th of July 1969 was when Neil Armstrong to the first step. Neil Armstrong came from the crew Apollo 11. 

Collabrative Paragraph

Asmah, Kapri, Samantha & Dontailan worked collabritively together. We used most of the words that we use for our topic this term that is called Space. We came up with this impressive paragraph that we are very pleased with!

The sun is the center of our Solar System. We live on the third planet away from the sun called Earth. Over time as the universe has been going through phases of change, scientists have sent astronauts on space rockets for the idea of space exploration expedition. Research shows, that we have eight planets in our galaxy and more than a billion stars. It takes twelve hours  for the Earth to orbit the sun on its axis, giving us daytime. Stars are luminous points in the night sky made of gas called hydrogen and helium which expand when gravitational energy compresses them. Did you know that when we join stars together it forms a shape in the sky called constellations? Have you ever been told that during daytime the suns rays scatters across the atmosphere causing us to have a blue sky. As the Earth orbits the sun on its axis, the moon is the satellite of the Earth. As the astronaut is up in space they use technology such as space probes to gather information about the environment around them, so scientists can use the information to get a better understanding of our aging universe.

Road Trip Challenge.

L.I. Add distances in km

Work out the differences between distances

Auckland - Rotorua =  219 km            

Rotorua - Tauranga = 65 km

Tauranga - Gisborne = 287 km

Gisborne - Napier = 215 km

Napier - Wellington = 315km

HIstorical Recount about the Voyaging Waka

Onboard, my responsibility was to cater food for the pāhihi. This was a huge responsibility being that food was scarce. I prepared for the long voyage by gathering foods such as kumara, sugar cane and green coconuts. Ika was another option of food if meals were not available at times. Being that all wahine who were wise with food had tamariki, I filled the position of becoming the Kuki Rangatira. I would be abandoning my ngā mātua, although other wahine would shelter and provide for their family, I was turning the other cheek, looking forward to the journey ahead of me.  

The departure from Hawaiki was sorrowful, yet exciting. The water was crystal clear, passengers had seen dolphins and whales, and the Kaihī were having a good streak of luck on catching ika. Our surroundings were dead silence but with a twist, we were able to hear the screams of the wind 20 paces away. From then we knew, the days of excitement had ended.

After the Kaihī had caught ika, the waves were unkind. All the pāhihi aboard the waka were not informed that the Kahihi hadn’t blessed the ika and sent a grateful prayer to Tangaroa. Because of this, wahine and tamariki aboard were feeling sea sick. For two days, all pāhihi were frustrated with the Kaihī, but when the waves had calmed down we carried on with our journey.

After five days aboard the waka, I began to question myself if finding new land was possible. I had heard all the myths about other travellers and their waka’s crashing into the seabed. We were aboard with the best Tahuna and Kāpene, yet we couldn’t find land. There were no surroundings, no ika, no food and no hope.

Quicker than the blink of an eye, a tamaiti had climbed up on the sails. Before the wahine could warn them to come down, the Tahuna howled out. “ Whakamoemiti atua kua kitea e matou i te whenua hou ” Within a second, laughter and song filled the empty ocean. The waka slowly slithered onto the sand and all paihi had ran out of the shelter and stretched. The hou whenua  was unfamiliar but felt comfortable.

The journey was dangerous and took more days than expected but in the end, finding hou whenua was worth it.

Space Jump Show

This morning, the junior classes and the year 7 and 8’s went to go and see a show called Space Jump in the school hall. The actors were Ty and Naomi, they played the role of 2 characters each. It was all about an alien that took hold of a girl’s body. The alien came down to earth for a specific reason,and it was to find out facts about fiction books using its  imagination and creativity. My favourite book was the Boring Book, because it has scientific words that I could hardly pronounce but would like to, and it had real awesome pictures. There was a special message saying if you can't read the words in the book use the pictures or get someone to read it with you. To me it seemed like a really fun show to watch because the characters were very enthusiastic and motivated to get started. We thank both Naomi and Ty for coming to our school and performing a real good show. This was a big privilege for all students who participated from Panmure Bridge School.

Facebook Explanation

Why is Facebook a problem?

Have you ever thought about facebook being a problem?  Research shows facebook is becoming a major problem because once you bully a person on facebook it’s hard to stop the rumors. Just imagine what could happen to that person.Your actions could lead to a sad situation. There wouldn’t be anyone to mock because they’re gone.

Have you ever thought about the fact that accepting anonymous people can lead to inviting them into your personal life. Think about statuses you put on facebook, at first it could be really funny but then turn into something really serious, and thats where cyberbullying kicks in.

Did you know that up to 250 million people go on to facebook a day and waste the majority of their education spending their time on Facebook. Going on facebook everyday could affect your learning and grades will start to drop because of the lack of focus.

Facebook is a problem because it could lead to a bullying situation. There are rumors about people going around, it causes people to believe its true.

Matariki and Diwali Comparison

This is a comparison about Matariki and Diwali. Matariki is celebrated on the 28th of June. It is a Maori tradition. Diwali is a celebration for Indians, and it is a festival of Hindu lights. In both of it one thing that is the same is it is a celebration of a New Year.

Pollination

Global Warming Story

We need to slow global warming down because it is effecting the animals who can't face the climates that are happening. We can also slow global warming down by not cutting down a lot of trees. Have you ever wondered what type of chemicals you have put in the drain going to the sea leading extinction for all the living species in the sea. If you were an aquatic animal, would you like it if you were getting pulled out of the sea for dinner? I certainly wouldn't. Also think about all the other creatures out there.

All About Bias

Bias affects the way we look at things.Bias is like a person who has two personalities. One personality is subjective which means that you let your prior knowledge help you make your decision, and the other personality is objective which means that you don't let your prior knowledge become your judgement.An example of using both sides of Bias personality is in the fairy tale of the Three Little Pigs. Objective: I strongly believe that the wolf did nothing wrong. He just sneezed and 2 houses fell. Well thats not the wolfs fault that they built their house with poor equipment. Subjective: I am very guilty I really believe that I am. I think that I should’ve not have put the boiling hot water down in the chimney so that the wolf can suffer, but overall it was the wolf’s decision to climb down the chimney. We really should have thought first so that he wouldn’t be boiled alive.

This is all about Bias. I used the PEE chain to help me with this activity.
