We notice that there is a school named after her in Mangere,Auckland. What we liked about her was that people can be inspired from what she has done in her life. 

Smart Searching Challenge

For inquiry we were given a DLO to finish off. I was working with Victoria to finish it off.  For our DLO we were given a site to pick a letter for topic. Victoria and I was given the letter K, and so we picked the topic knight. Later after that we have to think about 3 question, so later we can research for the right answers. Our questions have to include the 5W's. Our questions we came up with were: Could anyone be a knight?, Were there any girl knight? and Did every knight have there own castle?. After we finished we learnt lots about knights and cyber smart.

Hydration Vs Dehydration

In class we were talking about hydration and dehydration. On our DLO we have to answer the questions that were given to us. One of our questions were What is hydration?. Hydration is when you have enough water in your body to keep you hydrated so you won't be dehydration. We should drink water to keep us hydrated and to make our body work properly. Hydration is really important because if you don't drink water you would get dizzy, headache and even feel sleepy.

For inquiry we have been working on our strength, agility and endurance.  One of our DLO was the personal trainer. This DLO includes what you need to consider. You would need to train in a opened area and this is agility. The equipment you would need is cones and a stop watch. Training would be atleast for 1 hour. The next activity was based on training. We had to find images of sport that matches to agility, strength and endurance. Our defnition of physical activities is that it means movement of the body that uses energy.

We have to attributes Olympic images for our task two Modern Olympic pictures and two Ancient Olympic pictures. We have been taking notes for the Ancient Olympics also the Modern Olympics. One of our last task was to make a Venn-Diagram for information about Ancient and Modern Olympics also what are there similarities. The last DLO we have to make a list of Olympics words from A - Z.

River Safety

LS2 have been learning about water safety. We finished off a task about River safety. We have learned a lot about reading the article and making into a DLO. Keeping safe in the river is a real deal because if you go on a bush walk you might see a river. You need to check your clothes and equipment if you ever try to cross it. You can not cross the river by yourself because you will get into danger. Remember to check down the streams for potential hazards such as rapids.

Japanese

We have made a popplet on the Japanese language. We learned a lot from learning the Japanese words which would really help us talk in Japanese to other people. June, silivia and I came together and collaborated into making this DLO. We kept trying to pronounce the words it was pretty hard but we still tried.

Leadership Quilities

My Leadership Qualities is about the leader I look up to and why she inspires me. The leader that inspires me is Oprah because she never backed down on what she wanted to do also when she was rich she built schools for girls in South Africa to carry on with their learning. She had been through a tough time when she was a child like being abused but she has became a leader to everyone and also inspires women not to do.

Today we had done another science experiment on Baking Soda and Vinegar.  We had to figure out if it would be liquid, Gas or solid. Once we guess what would it be we started our experiment. Once we added it together we found it it was gas. You could here fizzing sound also could see it bubble up and smelt like vinegar which strong. The things you could change about this is the: Amount of vinegar, Amount of baking soda or use different vinegar.
