Hello! Today for Inquiry, we were learning about the Paralympics! Since the Paralympic Games are currently held! We were given a video to watch, then we had to write 5 facts about the Paralympics, rather in the template we were given or any other way we came up with to present our facts. Here's mine!
Hello! Yesterday for Reading we were learning how to apply knowledge! We learnt about this so we can apply the knowledge we learnt to other challenges outside of school.
For what we are doing for this task, we were given different choices of which animal/insect to research about. There were different reading levels for this task. Level 2B, Level 2, and Level 3. For level 2B, the topic was about birds, for level 2, the topic was orcas, and for level 3, which is the very last one, the topic was cicadas. I challenged myself to do the highest level which was level 3. Here's my slides!What is it?
Have you used compost for anything before? Compost is used as fertilizer for plants, like fruit trees, flowers, trees, shrubs, and other plants. It replaces used/removed nutrients used during the growing season, and improves soil structure.
How is compost made?
The fertilizer is made out of decomposing plants and food waste, cow dung, and other animal waste, grass clippings, twigs, branches, and dead leaves. All of these are collected and put into a pile in your compost bin. Accumulate and add kitchen waste and yard waste. It will take a few months for the compost to decompose and be ready to use, it can take from 3 months to 2 years to fully rot.
The benefits of composting
The benefits of using compost is that it reduces the need for chemical fertilizers which may damage the plants it is used on. It prevents plant diseases and pests that can harm your plants. It recycles yard and kitchen waste, and reduces landfill waste. It provides other key nutrients for your plants like calcium and magnesium, and it improves the ability of soils to hold key nutrients.
Conclusion
In conclusion, compost is a better choice of fertilizer for plants instead of using chemical fertilizers, and it helps the environment. In my opinion more gardeners/people should start using more compost instead of chemical fertilizers to keep your plants/vegetation even more healthier and to help the environment!
Hello! For yesterday's first lesson/task which was science, we were learning how to make a fizz inflator with vinegar and baking soda! Though we had different choices of what science experiments we wanted to do, there was a yeast experiment, making your own volcano, or exploding a lunch bag! I will put these experiments below the slides.
For the experiment I chose/did, I chose the yeast experiment. This yeast experiment consisted of different ingredients and adding it in with the yeast to blow up a balloon! If you would like to do this experiment, the rest of the instructions will be in the link as I mentioned earlier!
Hello! Yesterday for Reading we were learning how to apply knowledge, we are learning this so we can apply the knowledge we learnt to other challenges outside of school.
For our task we had an option of which animal to gather information and to write facts about, these had different reading levels, Level 2B, 2, 3, and 4 which is the highest level! I chose Level 4 that had the topic about "Great White Sharks". The slides had texts to read, and a video! There were 3 choices for creating part of our task! Write 5 or more facts about our topic, create a food chain animation that includes the animal in the topic we chose, or a poster on Google Drawings showing the different parts of a great white's body. I chose to do the facts on Google Slides! Here's my creation!
Hello! Last week for online class we had a few tasks and one of those was learning about Mary, the mother of Jesus ascending to heaven.
Hello! For Reading we have been learning how to infer what we read! We are learning this to make connections and draw conclusions about the text's meaning and purpose.
For our topic we have been learning about robots, A.I's and drones. So for our activity we are designing our own robot! We based our own designs on. Firstly, ask, what problem is in the world we would love to solve? Second, imagine, brainstorm ideas of what this robot can do to solve the problem. Lastly, design, which is planning and designing what this robot will look like and its features.
You could choose whether you want to do your design on paper or digital, which is on the slides I'm going to show you in this post!
For reading we were learning how to find facts and information. Our topic was about Japan, relating to where the Olympics was hosted, Tokyo, Japan. We learnt about this to apply our knowledge into context.
For our task we chose 4-6 slides we wanted to write about. The topics I chose were where Japan is located in the world, celebrations and national holidays, food and delicacies, and sports. As always I decorated my slides to make them look wonderful! I applied my knowledge I read from the text we read into my slides as it said on our task. Here's my slides!Hello! For reading, we have been learning how to summarise across multiple texts! We have been learning this to learn how to find out the main idea!
For our group's activity, we summarised the text we read on a template as I mentioned earlier. As you can see, instead of leaving my background and colours bland and dull, I made it bee-themed matching the topic of the book we read! I added a mix of different colours and hues and used a different font for my text, I made sure the font was easy to see and read.The activity was great! I loved decorating my slides! What did you learn about bees in these slides? What other interesting facts do you know about bees? Let me know in the comments!
Hello! For last week's reading we were learning about the Olympics, we read a couple of books on Epic about the Olympics and its history. I've learnt a lot from reading the books!
I added information I've read in my slides, added changes to my slides to make the words easier to read, I also researched facts using Kiddle! Here's my slides:
Has your country hosted the Olympics? If you were in the Olympics, what sport would you be doing? Let me know in the comments!
For this term, our R.E value is Faith! So for R.E, we made our own Faith title page in our R.E books. I decided to go with a more simpler design.
My title was a typewriter font, I included 2 quotes relating to faith. A simple drawing of a cross, and different synonyms of the word "faith".
Though this looks very easy and quick to make, I had struggles with writing in my title in a different style, it was unfortunate I didn't express much creativity to my title page, and my handwriting was a bit messy. Here's my poster!
