Cybersmart Screencastify

Today was our first day back to school from our second distance learning lockdown. We started our day with creating a screencastify that explains how to navigate your way to a juniors class site. First we wrote down on a piece of paper of what we would explain to the parents to help them get to the school and class site. We then wrote our script and practiced what we were going to say.

Haylee, Florence and I have all worked together to get this screencastify completed.

Natural Disaster #3

LI: To research natural disasters.

Last week for our distance learning, we researched about natural disasters. For my last DLO about natural disasters, we answered the questions, how do you get help, what help is offered, what do you need to do to help yourself and how do you stay informed. The civil defense is a public agency which helps us with the safety rules of natural disasters.

Natural Disasters #2

LI: To research natural disasters.

Last week for our distance learning, we researched natural disasters. For the second DLO, we included, the safety rules for our natural disaster and the signs. I really enjoyed learning these safety rules and signs, as it will be a huge help in case there is a natural disaster.

Natural Disaster #1

LI: To research about natural disasters. 

Last week in our learning, we researched about natural disasters, which included the subjects, (literary and inquiry). We chose a natural disaster and created three DLOs. In this first DLO, we answered the questions, ( what the natural disaster is, what caused it, what it looks like and an example of a time where and when it happened in New Zealand. I really enjoyed learning about a natural disaster. Did you know, tsunamis can travel at the speed of 500 to 805 kilometres and hour?

Research Challenges | Marry Anning

LI: To use smart searching skills to find out about a scientist from the past who made an important contribution to their field of science.

This week in reading, we studied a scientist from each branch (physics, chemistry, biology, geology). From the geology branch I decided to study Mary Anning. In this DLO I included, her biography, discoveries and facts. Something I found interesting about Mary was that she nearly died as a baby, from nearly being struck by lightning. I really enjoyed researching about Mary Anning.
