Plants

The last topic we did in science was called "Plants".
We went through this topic and I learnt so much about the layers of cells that make up the leaf, the individual parts and their uses.
I learnt about photosynthesis and how the presence of starch indicates that a plant has been photosynthesising.
Through this whole topic I learn about certain mosses, how the roots absorb water and processes that happen to the plant like osmosis and transpiration.
These are all the things I learnt during this topic

Touch with the year 13s.

Today I did training for touch with the year 13s.
They taught me and my group how to set each other to get closer to the finish line.
Their leadership was astounding, like they had coached others before.
It made me feel like I was amazing because they were always positive.
Me and my team went against another team.
We had a draw so we were sent off.
That whole hour I spent with them made my skills better.
Thank You.

Waitangi trip part 2

When we tried to go back for the second time there was a power cut, which made us unable to use any of the equipment.
We returned for a second trip and we were allowed to explore the treaty grounds and the wakas.
But we stayed inside most of the time learning about the apps that were provided to us such as SculptGL, Tinkercad and Paint3D.
I enjoyed the whole experience.
I am excited because Whaea Monika is visiting in 3 weeks aka the lady who taught us.

How to survive a tsunami.

For the past 3-4 weeks we have been focusing on research skills.
The topic I chose for this was how to survive a tsunami.
I researched tsunamis, which are a big problem in some areas due to the amount of earthquakes.
The earthquakes cause disorder and chaos while the tsunami destroys whatever is left or what it can reach.
This is the reason why I wanted to research this topic was to raise awareness to the rising problem of tsunami.
The slide I made is solely for the purpose of making the people who are faced with tsunamis, survive.

Good netiquette in class.

Today I learnt about Netiquette, the worldwide standard that internet users use to become a better internet user and not become a troll or a toxic person that puts people down.
While learning, I learnt a lot about my friends actions online which make understand why they do the things they do.

Waitangi Trip

Yesterday, we went on a trip to Waitangi, that taught us about the digital world and our heritage.
I learnt a lot about our heritage and VR, a reality that i only experienced during this trip.
I loved the way that they were so welcoming to us and we were strangers to them!
I learnt about James Busby and we explored his house and took photos of the properties.
We played with robot coding, paint 3D, sculpt GL, tinkercad, greenscreen and stop motion.
I enjoyed the whole experience.
