Trash to Flash

In LH1, we are doing a trash to flash iExperince. 

What we have to do is find what ever we have at home and bring it for a trash to flash item.

My item is a snowy bear or panda. Is a meant for a Christmas decoration but it can be placed in on a shelf and kepted on forever and ever. Their choice.

My group includes: Aleena, Kavisha, Vrishti, Margart, Riyah, Sally, Sadeen, Norah, Nisita.

items we have to have are: cotton balls, foam circles, ornaments, black marker, glue.

So this is how to make it for people that want to try it out:

Step 1. Shape foam into a 3D circle shape and glue a ornament underneath. Your ornament cane be any colour you want. You can also use any glue you want but it has to be sticky.

Step 2. Shape cotton balls into arms and legs for your bear and glue those on. Also shape ears and also glue them on.

Step 3. Then draw a face with your black marker. There are many faces you can draw and so you choose.

This is a Christmas decoration and id perfect for people that enjoy Christmas time and want to see a cute bear at their sight.

So, I hope you're not this weeks blog post. Make sure to try out the Snowy Bear or Panda project!

Bye for now!

Oh, by the way, here is picture of what the bear would look like:

Goggle Expection about Sharks!!

Sharks

My learning from the Google Expection is about Sharks. 

There are many species of sharks that are lowing down because a lot of people kill then just because they kill people. You shouldn't be doing that because sharks didn't mean to do it and after, they are like 'Yuck! That human tastes gross!'. At lot of hunters and mean humans cut shark fins off for shark fin soup. That is one way for a species of sharks to lower. There are many sharks each day that die all around the world and the more they die, the more their species don't exist anymore.

There was many sharks out there that exist and they are unique in their own way. Like the great white. The great white is the the most human eating shark. That is why swimmers have to stand in a under water cage to be able to research them because if they go out, they might be eaten.

Did you know that many sharks are lowering because of human hands? Yes! Humans are the ones who kill them. Shark fin soup! Humans cut the fins! 

After cutting their fins, they just throw the sharks back into the water. Some sharks live but a lot don't live after their fins are cut off. Shark fins and the most important parts of a shark. To us, it warns us if sharks are near and to them, they don't really know because there sharks!

A lot of sharks that don't swim will die. Crazy right! Sharks have to swim because they look for prey and also watch out for their enemies.

100 million sharks are killed each year. That is a lot and you have to think how sharks are. They don't mean to kill you. They are just hungering. Sharks also die from hunger if they don't eat. A lot of other people guess that 273 million sharks are killed each year. That is more that 100 million of them.

Sharks primarily feed on smaller fish but some species prey upon seals, sea lions, and other animals that are mammals. Sharks have been known to attack when they are confused or curious. If a shark sees a human splashing and playing in the water, it may become curious and try to investigate, leading to an accidental attack to the human body in anyway.

Primarily, if people see a shark fin, they would run out of the water. A lot of the times, life guards call out to the swimmers because a lot of the time, swimmers don't see the shark. 

A lot of sharks spawn in beach water. So a lot of people have shark attacks there. 

Baby sharks (called pups) are born with a full set of teeth and are fully ready to take care of themselves. They quickly swim away, even from their mothers who might eat them. Litter size ranges from one or two pups for a great white shark) to over 100 (for a large blue shark and the whale shark).

So there you have it. A shark blog post! Please make sure you don't ever go into the water with a dangerous looking shark like a great white. Please stay safe.

Thank you for tuning into my blog today and I hope you enjoy facts about SHARKS!!!!!!

Oh, before you go anywhere, another thing we did at the Google Expection, we also learned about shark habitats and where they lived. We also checked out the 7 wonders of the world. They were awesome. From temples to land and we also used the Google glasses. It seemed like we were there, under the water with the sharks. The whale shark kind of frightened me a bit because it was so big! When it came to under water, it seemed like we were sitting on the ground under water. I was kind of expecting the sharks to be a like a real under water research team there where the sharks move but no. :( Everytime, it seemed like you were there and when we saw the trees, we were sitting on the dirt. Yuck! When it came to the 7 wonders of the world, we were flying in the sky and it was so cool. It was #oresome!

Hapu Birds!

In LH1, we have Hapu birds. Kea, Kiwi and Pukeko. Mr Dyer is Kiwi's. Mrs Dillner is Kea's and Miss Denuwara is Pukeko's. 

There is a challenge in the Hapu groups. We look at a picture of where our bird is at. If we know where that place is, we go and take a picture and then show it to the learning first person gets to take the bird home.

They have to write a blog post about a adventure they went on and post it on the habitat blog site. They could be on a roller coaster, eating dinner, playing, visiting the new pak n save. Cool places like that. 

Aryan was the first out of the Kiwi's.

Justin V was the first out of the Kea's.

Aleena was the first out of the Pukeko's.

I feel like, having birds and bird names for our Hapu group is #oresome because it gives us a chance to learn and we may want to a iExplore about it, I don't know. 

I hope you enjoy today's show (aka, blog post) I hope you learned about our Hapu birds and thank you for tuning in. Bye!!

iDentity

In LH1, we have been learning about our identity's.

Each learning coach did a different topic based on identity.

I missed out on one of the iExperinces because I was doing something in Antarctica. I did a blog about Antarctica and what I did so check it out.

Mrs Mcan's iExperince: what we did on thee first time we did it was we went on a website and had to write down 5 facts about one of the topics. Taanvi and I choose Farming and Harveting. First finishers did a quiz. We got only 60%. :( On the second part, we did some colouring. We had to colour in a sheet and then glue it into our book and then write a reflection.

Mr Dyers iExperince: On the first part, we had to draw or take a pic of us and then write what identity means and what it means to us. I did a Pic Collage. On the second part, we searched up on what our name meant. My name meant a flower.

Those were the iExperinces I did.

Thank you for tuning into my blog for this week.

Christmas!

Christmas is the season of giving. Enjoying life and spending time with family and friends.

There are many awesome gifts to give to a person and they would love it anyway.

A lot of people put up a Christmas tree. They sometimes put important things on the tree that their child made or something that means a lot to them.

Something that means a lot to me is this light up Christmas tree. It is important because it some how is the only thing that I love. Even my sister got one.

Some people go early Christmas shopping and some go late Christmas shopping. Don't go on Christmas day because all of the shops are going to close.

On Christmas, some stores close down for the hoildays. My mom and dad only close down on Christmas day and they start working on Boxing Day.

I'm so exicted for Christmas and I can't wait for the hoildays too. It is going to be awesome and I hope that you all are going to have a great Christmas too.

Thank you for tuning into my Blog for week 6.

Book Review

Welcome to another book review! Today's book is Geronimo Stilton Lost Treasure of theEmerald Eye. Basically, Geronimo and his sister are finding the Emerald eye. Since they don't know where it is. They set on a big life. Geronimo sister gets in charge and they make a tree area into a house. That was my favourite part.

This book tells you to be brave and search fro what you want.

When they go back on the plane they saw the Emerald Eye. It was a lake shaped as a Emerald Eye! They completely finished their mission! 

Here is a picture of the book cover:

Learning Habitat 1!

Learning Habitat 1 is #oresome!

It has many awesome learners and learning coaches! 

We have fun activities and games that everyone enjoys a lot. The learning coaches plan awesome outdoor activities.

We have a chance to choose our own iExplore. I have been planning a Ormiston sleepover. 

We get awesome iExperinces where we get to learn new things and we also get to do new activities like to make a animal habitat for a animal. I made a habitat for a bat. 

We have cool iBreaks where we could spend time with friends and see the cute little learners. 

We have literacy and maths workshops where we learn new maths and literacy things. We get follow ups that we do after the workshop if we have time. We have to finish it as fast as we can.

We sometimes have time to finish work.

The task that we have are, Storybird, Blog comments, Blog posts, learning possessions, learning story's.

Storybird is a website where we can write our own books. People can also buy it. I have many books there.

Blog comments is when we comment on a buddy's blog post.

Blog Posts is when we write a blog. Go check out my blog.

Learning possessions is where we put a date and put evidence to show our learning to the teachers.

Learning story's is where we comment on a blog post that the learning coaches posted for us.

There is learning habitat 1! Thank you for tuning in!

The V8 Supercars Event!

On Friday, Ormiston students went to the V8 Supercars Event. 

We went to see the training and on Saturday was the real race.

We watched the training and we played on the big field.

When the cars came zooming on the tracks, it was so long. Sometimes the cars came and there would be a pop like a firework going off. 

We got a really good view and we claimed the tree as ours.

There were 5 students that were able to ask questions to the drivers. The two people from our group was Ash and Taanvi.

We went to see the cockpits. It looked like little houses for cars. If a car had a flat wheel or it needed changing a wheel, they would turned into the cockpits and get it changed. There are trained people that learned to change wheels and help with any problems.

We got posters and we were able to sit in a race car. It was awesome.

The V8 Supercars Event was super fun and I want to said thank you for the learning coaches for making this possible.

Thank you for tuning into my Blog this week.

Antarcitca

Mrs Dillners Antarctica group has been learning many things.

In the mornings, we would have a question auto call. This is where, any questions from other schools or from us are answered. It would sometimes lack but our questions were still answered. 

Sometimes in experience time, we would do some tasks and learning more about Antarctica. We would go onto Shelleys dairys that would be updated.

Antarctica is the coldest place in the world and can you believe that the Antarctic Ocean is warmer than the air? Awesome!

Some people would go to Antarctica to learning about everything that Antarctica has to offer and some 

famous divers would go for under water research. 

My favourite question that they for answered was, Is there any Internet? The answer is no, so you may be wondering, how do they answer our questions? Well, they use walking talkies. 

Shelley would sit there and listen to the questions being answered.

One of our Antarctica students, Karis, has over 100 questions. She took her time to write all of those. Wow!

Antarctica is awesome to learn about and it may be cold but there are things that haven't been discovered yet!

Thank you for tuning into my blog post this week! Bye!
