Alexander Graham Bell!

 Hi 

This week for reading I'm reading Alexander Graham Bell. The book was interesting and fun to read.WALT: Locate and summarise important information from a range of related texts. The first task was on filling the boxes with information from the texts. Also embed the goggle drawing and put on your blog post. 

The second create task was spilt into two bits. The first bit was about using the fact file to say facts about the book.  The the second bit was about create a DLO of your choice. 

This fact file is of: Alexander Graham Bell the person who invented telephones.

This is the DLO

The third task is writing a definition of what inspirational means on a poster. I chose keep on trying because Alexander Graham Bell keep on trying to make the telephone.

Reflection: Which task was difficult for me? What task did I enjoyed? What did I learn? (See answers to question in comments down below)

Private or Personal Information

Hi guys 

Today in Cyber smart we have looking at private or personal information to be safe online. Knowing the different between the two will help you be safe online.

I found this hard to drag the pictures to the boxes and the rest fun.

I rate this activity a 5/5 for the information a 4.5/5 for enjoyment.

Is there other things you think could be kept private?

Batman story

Batman woke up in the morning and said to Owlfred ‘’can I have some coffee.’’ Owlfred said ‘’ There's nothing left you need to go to the shop.’’ So Batman drove there in his Batman outfit and his batmobile to the shops. When he got there he pressed the button that made his car not be seen. He walked into the Bagels Donuts Soup shop. He ordered his coffee and hot bagel to eat. He waited for it to be made. Finally his order came to him. Batman went outside to eat his hot bagel and have his coffee. The shop people thought that early in the morning why would batman be in the shop? Batman's bagel was brown and crispy and cheese also smelled like bacon. His coffee was cappuccino. Batman said to himself Yummy.

Inquiry earthquakes and tornadoes

Kia ora

For inquiry we have been working on natural disasters. For the natural disasters we learnt about them first. Then we put are information onto a plan. Then we wrote are information reports on a google doc. We needed 2 information reports on are blog. 

First one: Earthquakes

Earthquakes

An earthquake is when the ground shakes. The tectonic plates make earthquakes. They are like jigsaw

puzzle pieces. There are 20 jigsaw puzzle pieces that move around all the time but we can’t feel it most of

the time.

What are tectonic plates? They are a part of earth under the crust.

If the tectonic plates hit, bump or just slide by each other an earthquake is caused when the tectonic plates

slip by the surface this is called the fault or a fault plane.

There are three different types of earthquakes. The first one is called convergent boundary when one plate

is forced over another. That makes new mountains. The second one is called a divergent boundary when

the plates are drifted apart from each other. It makes new rivers and oceans. The third and last one is

called transform fault and it slips too.

During an earthquake liquefaction is created. It's created by the soil being loosed up during an earthquake

when the tectonic plates move it creates a space between them and then water comes up. When the water

meets the solid dirt turns into mud. In Canterbury we have more liquefaction than would have been

expected because of a combination of factors. 1. Canterbury is built predominantly on sand.2. We are

surrounded by rivers and oceans. 3. Our water table is really high and we have a high annual rainfall.

More liquefaction than would have been expected because of a combination of factors.

What is a seismograph and what does it do? A seismograph tells you how strong the earthquakes are .

Scientists use a seismograph to measure how big the earthquake was and to see if it was strong or not

strong or really tiny. The bigger the number, the more destruction the earthquake causes. A magnitude 4.o

earthquake could shake you home but some people might even notice. A magnitude 9.o and up earthquake

flattens whole cities and causes large amounts of damage.

In conclusion, an earthquake is when the tectonic plates move against each other which causes the ground

to shake and roll. We learned there are three different types of earthquakes. Scientists use a seismograph

to measure how big the earthquake is. Sometimes when big earthquakes happen liquefaction is caused.

Earthquakes are natural disasters that can be very destructive. Also earthquakes are very interesting.

Second one: Tornadoes (Not done)

Tornadoes

Did you know what are tornadoes? Learn more out out in this report.

How are tornadoes are formed? They are formed by a big thunderstorm and cold and warm air

pushing against each other that forms a tornado.

What are the characteristics of a tornado? 

Volcanoes inquiry

Hello 

In inquiry we have been learning about natural disasters. For our natural disasters we did 3 of natural disasters then we chose our own disaster out of 6 other ones. We did a plan I chose between a hamburger and a general plan. Then we wrote information report on a google doc about volcanoes. Then we did a presentation of the information report you did.
