Te Reo Maori - How to ask for Items

  Hey readers! Last week in Te Reo Maori, we got to make a video and D.L.O about how to ask for items in Māori 😁, we also had to do this in buddies, my buddy was Izeiah. We made a slide as our D.L.O and we made our video on screencastify. I found this activity very fun and would love to do it again! Here is my Te Reo Maori D.L.O (please tell me what you think about it!) 😊:

Inquiry - Waste Sorting Activity

 Hey Readers! Today in Inquiry, Miss McLeod's Inquiry group learnt about recycling (one of the 4 R's 😁). We got to learn about what we can put into the yellow bin to be recycled, I found this lesson very important and interesting. And today I found out that 1 contaminated (unwashed or unclean) piece of rubbish can make a whole truck-full of rubbish have to go to landfill, so I'm taking washing my recycled plastic more seriously now 😄. After learning about recycling (which was very fun) we got to do this activity where we sought out different things to put into different bins on a google drawing. Here is my activity 😌:

Writing - Snow Leopard Information Report

  Hey Readers! Last week, Miss McLeod's writing group got to make information reports about an endangered species of their choice. I chose to write about the Snow Leopard 😁, and I was actually quite surprised to find out that Snow Leopards are actually an endangered species. I find Snow Leopards very beautiful, how about you? This writing was really fun for me and I enjoyed it a lot, her is my writing 😌:

The Endangered Snow Leopard

Introduction

Did you know that Snow Leopards are endangered?

 Snow Leopards have been endangered since 1986. Which means that the Snow Leopard

has been endangered for 35 years,which, as you can imagine, only causes a negative

impact on the species. 

Appearance

 Snow Leopards are a beautiful species of Leopard. They are an average sized species of

leopard, averaging between 2-5 feet long. They have stripy, long and bushy tails that can

range from 80-100 cm long. Their fur resembles the patterns of the fur of a cheetah which

makes them even more pretty. A Snow Leopard’s eyes are also very beautiful, with the

colours of their eyes being either grey or pale green.

Habitat

Do you know where you can find Snow Leopards?

  Well, you can actually find Snow Leopards in the mountains of Central and Southern

Asia. They can be found in twelve countries, including Russia, China, Pakistan and

more. There are 4,000 - 6,000 Snow Leopards left in the world, and  around 2,000 of

them can be found in China, where most Snow Leopards live.

Diet

Have you ever wondered what Snow Leopards eat?

  Snow Leopards eat a big variety of things, most of them being small creatures. The

many different species they eat are Blue Sheep, Pikas, Deer and others. But, their diet is

one of the reasons that they’re endangered. Since Snow Leopards eat sheep, they mistake

the ones in farms for wild ones and when they try to hunt them, the farmers would often

shoot them down, by doing this, the amount of Snow Leopards decrease a lot each year.

Conclusion

 In conclusion, the Snow Leopard is a beautiful species that should not be messed with.

If you would like to save the wonderful species of Snow Leopards, try not to support

farmers and poachers who kill this amazing species.

Inquiry - Reduce Your Plastic Poster

   Hey Readers! In Inquiry this week, our whole class got split into 4 groups for Inquiry (that will stay for the rest of the year), each of the groups have different topics, but, all of those topics are related to pollution, and why we need to stop it. I was really hooked into these topics, even before this inquiry lesson, because I feel like this is a really big topic that should be recognised (tell me if you feel the same 😊). Well, for this weeks lesson, we focused on making a poster to stop people from using their single use plastics. We had a choice of making the poster digitally or on paper, I chose to do it digitally (on Canva). I found this lesson/project very fun and I enjoyed making this poster a lot 😁, here is the poster I made in this weeks inquiry lesson 😌:

Writing - Orangutan Information Report

  Hi Readers! 2 weeks ago, Miss McLeod's Writing class made an Information Report about the Orangutan. I really enjoyed this piece of writing and really loved learning about the Orangutan Species, though, I was really sad when I found out that the Orangutan is an endangered species. The hardest thing for me to do while writing this piece of writing was writing about the Tapanuli Orangutan which actually took me 3 tries. Well, here's my Information Report about the Orangutan 😁:

Orangutans.

Introduction

Did you know that Orangutans are at risk of extinction?

 Because of deforestation, many Orangutans lose their lives and homes,

that is why 5-8  Orangutans die per day. For these reasons there are

only 55,000 - 65,000 Orangutans left in the world today. We have lost

over 1 million Orangutans since 2006. 

Appearance

 There are three different species of Orangutan. They are: the Bornean

Orangutan, Sumatran Orangutan and the Tapanuli Orangutan. Though

they are all species of Orangutan, they look slightly different. The

Bornean Orangutan is the only species of ape to originate from Asia.

They have brownish-orange hair and a unique face shape. The Sumatran

Orangutan, like all other Orangutans, has orange hair and has a dome

shaped mouth. And last but not least, the Tapanuli Orangutan, they have

round faces and very expressive eyes. The female Tapanuli Orangutan

are under 4 feet tall and males are 5 feet tall.

Habitat

Did you know that Orangutans' homes are being destroyed everyday?

Orangutans live in the rainforests of the Southeast Asian islands of

Borneo and Sumantra. They normally spend their days swinging around in

the treetops of rain forests and are not aware of what is happening to

their homes. Because of this, Orangutans are caught in the middle of the

chaos of machines destroying their homes, and can be hurt or killed in

the process. That is how deforestation had endangered the Orangutan

species.

Diet

 Did you ever wonder what an Orangutan eats? Well, I was pretty

surprised when I found out that 60% of an Orangutan's diet consists of

fruit. Other than the large amount of fruit they eat, Orangutans also eat

bark, and their preference of bark are those from the Gironniera

Nervosa. Of course, there are other things in an Orangutans diet than

that, like insects, vines, honey, leaves and the inner shoots of plants.

Orangutans also eat meat, but they only eat it on very rare occasions.

Conclusion

 In conclusion, it is not okay for anyone to destroy Orangutans' homes, they are already an endangered species and should not be treated that way. So, please try the best you can to save the great species of Orangutan and their homes, the rain forests.

Maths - Origami Flower Maths Problem

 Hey Readers! In Miss McLeod's Maths today, we made an origami flower from NRich Maths 😁. The lady from the tutorial also gave us a question, she asked how many fractions does the little triangle in the flower is compared to the square it is in 😅? My answer was 1 quarter, please tell me your answer and please correct me if I'm wrong 😇. I found the task very fun and I enjoyed making the origami flower a lot 😌. Here is my Origami Flower 😊:
