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!

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.
