Ocean Destruction art

 

Kia Ora Bloggers! What have you been getting up to in lockdown? 

This week was the first full week of online school, Monday to Thursday we had Literacy and Maths meetings but today (Friday) we had no meeting and had the inquiry tasks to do. The task I chose to do today was the Sidewalk chalk art task, as you can probably tell this was not done on a sidewalk and done on a piece of paper the reasoning for this was just because the sidewalk was a bit too wet so I just drew it on a piece of paper. The drawing isn't the best but I think I did alright. Do you know what the meaning of the drawing is? Please leave me some feedback and maybe check out some of my other posts. Blog you later!

Lockdown Inquiry Task

 

Kia Ora Bloggers! How is your lockdown?

When we were put into lockdown Marshland School decided to do online school starting on Thursday. Yesterday was the first day and it went quite well. Today there were different tasks to do and this is one of them, the task was to pick an inquiry task off the site and complete it. The task I chose was about overfishing in NZ, this has information about what species are becoming endangered from overfishing as well as what NZ fisheries are doing to try and help with overfishing. Do you know what overfishing does to the animals? Do you know any other ways fisheries are trying to help?

Microplastics

 

                         

Kia Ora Bloggers! Do you know what microplastics are? 

Another task for the start of our inquiry this term was this task here, this task was to get into a group (mine was Molly, Sienna, and I) and we had to find the meaning of microplastics, get a fact about microplastics, and come up with some solutions for pollution in the ocean. This task was pretty fun and easy-ish to do, we got it done in one session. Can you come up with any solutions? Do you know any other facts?

Water Inquiry research

 

Kia Ora Bloggers! How was your week? 

For the start of term 3 inquiry, we have been researching a bunch of different things to do with water, our first task was to get into buddies and research 3 words that were listed on a slide, My buddy was Sienna and we chose the words, waterways, groundwater, and microplastics. After we research these 3 words we had to put the research we did onto a canva or other form of presentation and get it printed out to go on the wall. That was our last step for this task and then we were finished with the first task and moved on. I think that we had good research and made the canva look pretty good. Did you know what any of these words meant before seeing this? Did the slide help you understand the definitions? Please leave me some feedback and maybe check out one of my other posts. Blog with you later!

Minecraft Waterways

 

Kia Ora bloggers! How has term 3 been so far for you? 

This term the non-production group has started understanding this terms inquiry which is focussing on water, our first task was to get in buddies and research 3 words to do with waterways, catchment areas, and other water related things, I went with Sienna and the 3 words we chose were Microplastics, groundwater, and waterways. Once we had our 3 words researched we had to find a way to present our research, Sienna and I chose to do it on a canva with 4 different posters, one for each word along with a glossary for the other words to do with watersheds and catchment areas that had been included in the definitions. After this, we had finished our first task and moved onto our second task, this was to make a Minecraft world with a mountain, a river (preferably the waimak), a catchment area, village/town, the ocean (or a line saying that it is where the ocean is), and a way to get water that comes from the mountain, Sienna and I found a mountain leading to a river with a village next to it so we used this as our template for our watershed and just added a few things, we also had to put signs showing what everything was and then the last step was to take photos and put them onto a slide to show our work. I think that we did well at researching and making our world, it looked quite good and had good labeling.
Do you know what any of our 3 words mean? Do you know what a watershed is? Please leave me some feedback and maybe check out some of my other posts/ work. Blog you later!
