W.A.L.T make a face mask!
In Room 2 we have been creating Christmas face masks for our literacy hotspot. The reason I put stars on mine is because it represents the Bethlehem star that led the 3 wise men to Jesus on the 25 of December Jesus birthday also Christmas! Here is my face mask!
W.A.L.T Read a monologue!
In room 2 we have been learning about Advent, so we each made a monologue, a monologue is focusing on you reading something like a poem, a book or a script. Here is my video, Have you ever made a monologue before?
W.A.L.T Create symmetrical art!
In room 2 we have have been learning about symmetry for maths. Today we made designs on paper that have to be symmetrical. Here is the design I made: It was quite hard to make it so I chose something simple, hope you like it! Have you ever made anything symmetrical?
W.A.L.T make a sculpture that is symmetrical.
Today for maths we made art that is symmetrical, to have symmetrical shape is if you cut it in half would it be the same on both sides here is a picture of the shape I made! hope you like it! Do you think its symmetrical!
W.A.L.T Write and understand the features of an explanation.
In room 2 we have been writing our writing tests. I wrote mine about electronic cars what are their power source, what do they need, and are they good for the environment? Here is my story, hope you like it :)
Chaotic car pollution!
Fossil fuels are a big problem for our Earth. But are electric cars really the solution? Are diesel cars better?
Here is a different perspective on these chaotic cars!
Have you ever wondered how you power an electric car? What's inside and how does it work? Let's start from the beginning. Electric cars get energy from something called lithium ion batteries, lithium ion batteries are located down below in the Earth's surface. That means in order to get these batteries you have to create a coal mine. Yes, Diesel and gas cars don't seem that bad but they dispose fuels out into the air and that causes air pollution. Here are some examples of electric cars: Volkswagen, Tesla's and last but not least EVs, EVs have the longest driving range ranked. Lithium ion batteries can only go up to 6 to 16 months and then you can't get rid of them then we have to dump them which causes even more pollution! Electric cars are not as green as we have been told.
No need to freight yet! There is still hope. Specialists are trying to find a way to revive electric cars, by putting the batteries in a freezer for 24 hours. Hopefully this works! Electric cars can be improved here's how. Try to keep your speed under 60 mph whenever possible, go easy on the AC, not too hot and not too cold and drive cautiously. If you do this then your battery will last longer which means it reduces car pollution! If you can do this you can help our Planet.
In conclusion, These chaotic cars are a problem that needs to be pointed out. Don't lose hope yet we can make electric cars work! Do you agree with this perspective? What do you think? Do you want an electric car? Or do you already own one?
W.A.L.T Follow the technology design process!
In room 2 we have been doing technology but not like iPad's and phones, its a design process. Our project is to create Christmas decorations for our School library! Here is a photo of my brainstorm. The theme is Catholic Christmas we had to think about who needs the decoration, What is it, why do they need it?
W.A.L.T Year 6 Revision!
Today after we had finished our slides we have to choose a question we found difficult! I picked this question:
936 + 780 + 205 =
The way I figured this out is I did 700+200= I got 900 I added up the rest of the numbers. Here is the question and the answer I got,
936 + 780 + 205 = 1921!
What answer did you get?
W.A.L.T Reflect on our experience!
Today at NBC Kadoo people came, they brought drums and lots of people got to go up and have a turn. I had a turn on the drum it was awesome, I really enjoyed it! It also had lots to do with African culture it seems very important to them, like a tradition. Here is a photo of our outstanding experience:
W.A.L.T Reflect on our experience!
On Friday the 21st of October Room 2 went to the Bromley dump. We had lots of fun learning and doing different stations. We even made a compost, Georgina was our instructor she taught us how to make a compost. We got to hold a worm each it felt a bit slimy. We did this because we have been learning about our environment.
We had to get into groups and we all had a yellow bin (recycling) with waste (trash) in it we had a big long strip of paper and it had lables. We sorted the trash to the labels and see if everyone had the waste where its supposed to be!
Some parents also came like Jackie, Shelley & Sarah and they helped lots.
Im grateful we got to go to the dump I think it was a great experience!
Here is a photo of Room 2 at the dump!
W.A.L.T Understanding the virtue of stewardship!
If the Earth could talk what would it be saying? Olive and I made a google drawing about what are some problems. Pope Benedict said that if the Earth could talk what would it say?
Here is the google drawing, hope you like it :)
W.A.L.T Identify prior knowledge!
Today Room 2 created a KWL (What we know, what we think we know, and what we want to learn) The KWL is about something serious we think is happening in the world right now I made mine about car pollution, its about electric cars the thing is are they just as bad as the cars we use today? lithium batteries are very dangerous and once they have been used you cant get rid of them which means more waste for the planet! Here is my KWL hope you like it.
W.A.L.T Use a simile in our writing!
