Bones and Skeletons

Last week Wednesday for tech we learnt about bones and skeletons. Our teacher told us to write down what we knew about bones, I wrote down "we have more bones when we are born. but less when we grow old". She pulled up some names about our bones, then we had to change the simple names into the scientific names. We also looked at a skeleton model and looked at fake bones and some real bones. Another fact is that the stapes is the smallest bone in our body located in our ear, and the femur is the biggest bone in our body.

66th Birthday

Last week Friday it was Ruapotaka's 66th birthday, it was a normal day until it was 11:30 were Mrs Hamilton held an assembly outside room 1. She asked us if we knew what today was, most of us were confused but the rest of us said it was our 66th birthday they brought a large
cake out and everyone was like WOW! The oldest student in our school came up with the youngest student and cut the cake there names are Nurul and Isadora. At lunch time everyone got a slice of cake it had blue icing on top of the cake the flavour was chocolate.       

Knee Deep

For our 2nd week of term 2 we were finally at school. The first book we read was called Knee Deep, it is a story about a disaster that happened in Christchurch on February 2011.

Part of the story 
There were lots of collapsed buildings, chocking clouds of dust and tonnes of spilled raw sewage. For over the next six months part of the city wastewater system was fixed together but it needed to be repaired permanently. Unfortunately so did everything else in Christchurch.

What I wrote

Sat: Page 1 & 2

Does anyone remember the earthquake disaster at Christchurch immediately after the February 2011. Earthquake, distressed people, collapsed buildings, clouds of choking dust. What was more difficult to capture was the impact of thousands  of tonnes of spilled raw sewage .Of course they people of Christchurch understood this all too well. 

 

Earth Worms

Wednesday the 3rd of June on tech we were learning about earth worms. You might think its very disturbing but they are very helpful to our environment, by letting air in and carbon dioxide out and worms also help to increase the amount of air and water that gets into the soil and more.

 Mrs.Sharma give us some worms to see what day would do. I had four worms one of the worms were aggrieve the other two were sleepy and the other one was trying to jump out. We were watching a video of how helpful worm are.    

Going to Tech

Today on Wednesday the 27th we went to tech. After one month and three weeks of lock down, our first task was to order correctly the positive, negative and neutral things about plastic into our assigned book. We glued the facts into each of the categorises and we also helped each other out if we didn't know which fact went in to which category.


Our second task was to write if any of these plastics were recyclable (like bottles, milk containers,  plastic pipping and more.) We would say yes or no if it was recyclable or not. It was our last task Mrs Sharma told us to write the major and minor change you were going to do. The changes that I am going to do is not to use plastic and pick up any plastic I see.
