Cereal nutrient compare

 

Hello welcome to my blog today continuing with our food nutrient unit we have created a slide on some of our favorite cereals I did this slide with my best friends katie and elise. On each slide is the name of the cereal and its rating in energy fat sugar dietary fire and sodium per hundred grams. I hope this slide opens your eyes to the world of what you eat everyday it certainly did for me. I hope you enjoy this post!       

Capillary Action

 

Hello I hope you are having a lovely day today! Today while the year sevens were at tech we looked at the capillary effect and made a slide about it in this slide you will find Equipment my beforehand prediction the Method and The science behind the experiment. There wasn't really a hard part of this task because I LOVE science so sorry if some of the slides are a little hard to understand. I hope this post inspires you to do it or do your own experiment to help get more people into science. I hope you enjoy this post!       

History of the Paralympics

Before the 1964 games japan had a low awareness for the disabled, who would if unfortunate enough be put to live alone out of society and were challenged with barriers of eating out, jobs, education, and public transport. The first official (through small) paralympic games did not start in 1964 but instead the rome games of 1948 the paralympic games first started with Dr Ludwig Guttmann who started a spinal clinic in the stoke mandeville hospital just after the war had ended leaving many soldiers strapped to wheel chairs in the summer games of rome in the opening Dr Guttmann organised 18 athletes to attend  this small stoke mandeville games 17 injured soldiers and one woman, little did they know that this stoke mandeville games would turn into something of a global succession. In 1964 with now 375 physically disabled athletes attending the stoke mandeville games they now needed perismision money and help to organise them. So Dr Guttmann held several meetings with Nakamura Yutaka who even visited the hospital in Britain. Finally both men agreed and persuaded others to hold the first official  paralympics in Tokyo Japan a week after the Olympics ended. The paralympics had a big effect on disabled people in japan just a year after the 1964 paralympic games japan had created their own Para sport committee to manage all Para sports in the country soon after that an inventor called Seiichi Miyake invented tenji burokku ( tecial paving) to aid those with visual impairment which is a tile  now used worldwide.        

For this activity we had to read a text on the history of the paralympic games history and how it had effect on the disabled population of japan. Then we had to summarize and put it into our own words I hope you enjoy and learn lots from my paragraph!      

 

Paralympic games

 

THEN	NOW
What was the Tokyo 1964 Paralympics like?  I felt the games were quite emontail to the paralympians; the opening ceremony just looked like it had been practiced and practised. Also I noticed they didn’t present medals but shields and badges to winners and getting into the stadium was well planned but not perfect.	What are some differences from the Tokyo 1964 Paralympics  compared to the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games ? The opening ceremony is a LOT bigger with light shows but they still walk the athletes around the track. I also noticed that countries like Fiji only had one competitor but today they have around 25.
What was life like for disabled people in 1964 Japan?  I think people would be starting to really appreciate the disabled struggles in life and being a lot more friendly and inclusive to them such as making it madaterity for  ramps to go up buildings.	What changes has Japan made to improve the lives of  disabled people? They introduced big statiams with ramps they used good advertising to give the para athletes the credit they deserve. Also a lot more athletes have come from 163 different countries!

Paralympic games

 

Welcome to the paralympic games!! The paralympic games team have created this slide for years 7 to 10 even through I'm only year six. There are ten lessons on the slide for us to complete over two weeks and today one of the lessons activities is creating and infographic comparing the 1964 games to the 2020 games. I hope you enjoy this post!     

Ashgabat a ghost city

Hello my name is Lotte and today I am informing you about a ghost city called Ashgabat. 

So what is a ghost city? And No, ghost cities are not cities that are haunted, they are just abandoned and ‘’peopleless” but the thing that drew me in about Ashgabat was that it's pretty modern, only built in 1881 just after my school was built just nine years earlier. 

Did you know that Ashgabat has a population of just 864, 695 I know that might seem like a lot with me saying it's abandoned, but actually Fiji, compared to Ashgabat in landmass, a tiny beautiful pacific island has more people in than a huge empty city. 

Ashgabat has beautiful artutere with tall, grand and handsome buildings lining these streets so why is it so deserted? The true reason why Ashgabat is abandoned is thought to be a combination of  dentistry 543 made of pure marble put that with the sun and it can blind you, also Ashgabat is located in Turkmenistan which is one of the rarest visited countries in the entire world.   

As I mentioned just before Ashgabat has the highest amount of colour density in the world, smashing records for it that still haven’t been beaten to this day. Apart from feeling trapped by the high density rates, Ashgabat which have I mentioned is the capital of Turkmenistan is home to sweltering heat. Did you know that some days in the city you can actually fry an egg on the sidewalk. Another reason why Ashgabat is so empty is because of the government, just to step foot in Turkmenistan  they require you to have a specific type of visa and the process getting it is not exactly easy and can go wrong in manys and when you get there your not even allowed to bring about a black vercel into the country because in 2018 the president, Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov din’t like them and felt the brought bad luck. Talk about a president's power!

I hope you learned something new from me today. Thank you for reading!

Kia kaha stay safe everyone!

 

Spring roll making

 

Today we while the year sevens and eight were at tech we made spring rolls  it was really fun because we had to chop up the ingredients then roll them up in this this rice pancake thing which looked and felt like slimy plastic we also made peanut butter sauce to go with it. I had never tried any kind of spring roll so I was really nervous because my best friend elise was saying it was yummy while my other best friend katie was saying it tasted gross so I took a bite and it was DELICIOUS! with the chicken and the baby spinach and everything else I thought the only bad thing about it was the texture it tasted like thin rubber with crunchy stuff inside but I enjoyed it anyways.   

Here are some photos:

Curator profile

 

Hello! welcome to my blog. Today I made a profile a about a museum curator, to do this, first we had to read a text about the job and then we had to write down how much they get paid, what do have to do, specific requirements and personal requirements. I hope you enjoy this post!    

Fossil fuel podcast

 

Bonjour! kia ora! hola! and hello welcome back to my blog! Today is a finishing off day for my class

and this is the last thing I have to do. For something in presenting my work and being BTB (better than before)I chose a podcast to present my topic. My inquiry topic I chose was fossil fuels because they cause climate change and I am interested in the planet. The hardest part about this task was finding out how to download the podcast onto my blog but my friend daisy helped me do that. I hope you enjoyed this post.  

Octopus information report

Introduction

Octopi is an eight-legged animal with the brain in each leg. Octopuses or octopie are intelligent and tricky creatures that lurk under the surface of the ocean. In this information report about octopus, you will find ordered with a subheading, topic sentence facts on an octopus habitat, predators, different species, and prey.  

Habitat

Octopuses live in many different places under the ocean. 

Octopi can be found in kelp forests and sometimes coral reefs. Octopi tends to prefer waters meaning they live in the sunlight zone. They can also live in tidal rockpools where using their soft body they can disguise themselves as oddly shaped rocks.  Octopi also has no skeleton so they can squeeze into tight places. 

Predators

Octopi has a range of predators...

Here are some of the predators of an octopus: Seals, fish, conger eels, sea otters, moray eels, dolphins, many birds, sperm whales, and sharks. Octopi have clever ways to defend themselves against predators one of these is expelling themselves out of water when they are threatened.

Different species  

There are a lot of different species of octopus around the world.

There are 300 species of octopus, for example, some include the coconut octopus, blanket octopus, and the California two-spot octopus. Some species of octopus are rarer than others. Different species live in different environments such as the pressure under the sea. Here are some other species of octopus: blue-ringed, giant pacific, common, and Caribbean reef octopus.

Prey 

Octopuses eat a lot of different sea creatures.
Octopus feed on crabs, clams, snails, small fish, and sometimes even other octopus! Octopie is one of the most intelligent creatures in the sea to catch their prey. Octopie also has a source of venom and in one species (the blue-ringed octopus)  the venom is deadly to humans. 

In conclusion, the octopus is an intelligent and credible creature I hope you learned something new about the amazing creature by reading this report. 

Caption: Hello everyone I hope you are all well and welcome back to my blog! Over the past few weeks, we have been working in groups on an information report about octopus to work on topic sentences and paragraphs first we did a draft copy, and then we all did it separately on our blogs. I hope you enjoy this post! 

   

  

Fossil fuels

 

There’s no doubt about it, fossil fuels are one of the most dangerous threats to the current climate, the more released into the atmosphere the more damage it causes. But still here in the 21st century! Believe it or not, not everyone knows about them as they should. So what are they?  

Fossil fuels are fuels or substances that can be burned into fuels that transmit large amounts of carbon dioxide. This alone is responsible for over eighty-nine percent of the planet's warming. The main three contributors of fossil fuels include coal, petroleum, and natural gas. While natural gas had always been frozen in the ground, lately in recent centuries aided with a Huge increase in mining for ramping up oil production meaning all that permafrost that has been melting in the ground causing an almost double in the rate of climate change.  

What do we really use them for?

This is a good question, but unfortunately, the answer is a lot of things: cars, trains, factories, mining, and even kitchen appliances. The fact is that fossils are now a part of human life whether we like it or not. It is in the car to even do the simple task of turning on the stove.  “Part of our life and steadily increasing”  is the warning from scientists all around the planet. Making climate change causes more climate change. An example of this is Antarctica's ice because it is so white smooth and shiny it results in the sun reflecting the ozone layer melting it, the more ozone disappears, and the sun gets hotter. This is called the positive and negative effect, and the bad news is it is powered by fossil fuels.  But then we come to the hard question of do we really need Them?  Sadly in this day and age, we as humans seemed to create a system where we depend on them, but luckily as modern technology evolves we can possibly use new safer more-environment friendly ways and connections in our regular lives, this means things like renewable electricity such as solar wind hydro and even coconut oil all of these things may be deemed as small by some but if we can introduce them to over half of population it would contribute to a much larger cost. The disappointment of this is that it is not happening fast enough. If we continue to do nothing (which thankfully today isn't looking so likely)  it is going to turn into a race between humans and climate change. 

Humpback whale DLO

 

Hello and welcome back to my blog!

 Today the year sevens went to a career expo ( and met William pike!) and the year sixes (me) went into naghere the class below us. Our usual teacher miss Farr was in there so she made the whole class do a DLO on humpback whales. In it we had to at least include where they live, body parts and what they eat. This (through stressful) was very fun for me because I love the ocean. There was house points up for grabs so that was another reason I loved the task. The hardest part of this task was getting the information I wanted down on the amount of time I had, but I think a did alright in that in the end. I hope you enjoy this post!      

Designing my own book cover

 

Today still with Anzac day I read a book on war mascots (animals) and for this task I had to make my own cover for the book. Some of the new Zealand troops brought over horses, cats, tortoises, donkeys, dogs and much more. These were known as a mascot to the troop and was protected and feed by the soldiers it lived with. The hardest part of this task poilining the animals to perfection. I hope you enjoy this post!     

Anzac crossword

 

This task I decided to maker something fun, and that fun thing is a a CROSSWORD down the bottom is the words you have to find and I have  put some bonus words in there if you want to keep looking. The hardest part of this task was filling the gaps around my hidden words. I hope you enjoy this post!

model of renewable energy around my school

 

Hello! today for reading I had to make a model of the school and how and where to put renewable energy sources around our school. I had lots of fun completing this task with my best friend daisy. The hardest park of task was using all the resources that we needed to. I hope you enjoy this post! 

Podcast on energy

 

Today for reading I did a podcast called kiddie talk with my friends daisy and Elise. The podcast was about how a small island in the middle of Pacific of the ocean gets renewable energy/electricity. The hardest part of this task was making good info in our own words. I hope you enjoy this post!       

comparing and contrasting energy

 

Today for my learning I am doing T-shaped literacy, we had to, as you can see read supporting texts A and B and buddy up to compare and contrast the texts, I was buddies up with daisy and did text A. The hardest part of this task was trying to identify what was different about the text but in the but as the text went on the easier this got. I hope you enjoy my post.     

reflection of pool of knowledge

 

today I made a post on the pool of knowledge about energy that I did with my house colour a couple of days ago, we made the pool to put together how much we knew about energy my group specially stated natural energy such wind farms, the hardest part of the tasked was working together and sharing our ides.
