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.

Migration/Term 2 Overview

Throughout the term i have learnt a lot about migration, how it affects the country and the people that live there.
I also found out about the history of New Zealand, like how it was discovered and Chatham Islands discovery.
I learnt about the wars that raged across our islands.
I also found out that we committed a mass genocide on the Chatham Islands, eradicating the full blooded moriori population.
I learnt about the affects on the economy when more people are there and when less people are present in a country.
Whaea Annete also taught us latitude and longitude.
We learnt about prime meridians, meridians, minutes, seconds and 0 degree lines.
I learnt about animal migrations and patterns.
I learnt how to accurately pinpoint locations on the map.
These things are all important due to history and life skills.
These are all the things i learnt in term 2.

Poetry

In class we have been learning about Poetry.
It has been divided into chunks so we can learn slowly and take in the information.
We have been learning for a while and we have gone over, Imagery and we are starting on Sound Devices.
We have gone over Metaphors.
Let me explain what a Metaphor is..
A Metaphor is a figure of speech that talks about one thing but is referencing something different.
Example: "The curtain of night fell upon the city".
We also talked about the topic of Similes.
Similes are a figure of speech that compares something to another thing.
"The soldiers are as brave as a lion".
The last part of the topic of Imagery was Personification.
This is when you give an inanimate object or thing human characteristics.
"The trees waved".

My Poem
We are people.
We are not right.
We believe in our ideals.
We cause fights.
But a threat is rising.
One we can stop.
But our ideals consume us.
Because our planet is slowly getting hot.
The world is dying.
We will too.
As we perish.
So will you.
The world is screaming.
It is in agony.
We won't stop it.
Because we are selfish.

Latitude and Longitude

In Social Studies we have been learning about Longitude and Latitude and how they work.
They also help by identifying certain places that can be seen on map, but can be identified on compass by using latitude, longitude and for more precision, hours minutes and seconds.
There is also certain areas that are the furthest in a certain area and is the most far point in that direction.
The equator is the point in which there is zero degrees in different directions.
I have also learnt about landmarks and areas with pin point accuracy.
This is a slide representing what i have learnt.
