Venn Diagram - New Zealand And Sydney Harbor Bridge

Today I have created a Venn Diagram to compare the Harbor Bridge here in New Zealand and the Harbor Bridge in Sydney. From this I have learnt that the Harbor bridge in Sydney can be used for special events like the Opera and Vivid Events. The similes between these two bridges is that they both have colorful lights that can be used to celebrate special days, weeks and years. Both of them can hold many vehicles such as trucks, cars, vans and motor bikes. They both help people drive their vehicles from point A to point B. If there were no bridges around people here in New Zealand would use punts and long chains, sailing boats or even swim over to the other side. 

The Harbor Bridge

Today I have collaborated with my inquiry partner Joshua V. We have made this presentation to inform you about the Harbor Bridge. From this topic, I have learnt about its shape, why they'd made it wider and when the bridge was made. I have also learnt that the Harbor Bridge is the biggest coat hanger in New Zealand.

The Panmure Bridge Timeline

Today and the previous weeks my inquiry group have been learning about the Panmure Bridge and when it was made too! we each made a presentation informing others around our globe about the Panmure Bridge using pictures. I have been collaborating with others to learn more about this interesting bridge.

Decimals - Rounding + Compensating

Today and for the past few weeks I have been learning all about how to add and subtract decimals and decimal points. I have noticed every time I buy something in the shop that the shopkeepers also use decimals. But don't worry, because I have a clear explanation and example of how to use, add and subtract decimals.

Cooking Pizza With Mrs Tu'ipulotu

Today our class (LS2) went to Tamaki College for tech, we made Hawaiian pizza. The ingredients we used were: Pita bread, tomato sauce, cheese, diced ham, diced onion and chicken. We baked the pizzas for 15 minutes and put the oven at 180 I collaborated with Brooklyn to make these pizzas.

Class LS2's Trip To... The Sky Tower

Today was an awesome day! why? this was because our class went on a trip to the sky tower. What have I learnt from this trip? I have learnt that there are 3 main decks in the sky tower which is the observation deck (the deck that has the 3 metered thick flooring of glass and the diagonal window which allows you to observe each tower in Auckland City), the bar and cafe deck (where you can buy food and drinks for the family) and finally but not least the emergency deck. The deck I found very fascinating and this would be an odd one the emergency deck, why this deck? well, it depended on the material that was used on this deck, I was amazed at the fire proof walls and doors. My second favorite deck was the observation deck, this is because I loved the 3 metered think flooring of glass (which kind of made me dizzy) everyone tried as hard as they could to break the thick glass but was no use! I jumped up and down the glass and punched but still wouldn't crack! PS: We were not trying to break the glass we were just testing it out. I have also learnt that if the wind blows twice as hard as the normal it would bend 1 meter side ways, my gigantic question was "does the sky tower ever get struck and collapse?" the answer to this was yes, but it certainly does not collapse. Did you know that going down the lift take 40 - 41 seconds? I also learnt that the sky tower once opened in 1997 and costed $2 million just to open it! one more thing I learnt is that the sky tower is 328 meters and 1,076 feet tall!

What did we do first?
our class separated into our kiwi can group A and B. We watched an question answering film about the sky tower, which gave me an idea of the sky tower and when it opened. We then got in the lift and went up to the observation deck to fill out the papers/forms we were given straight after the film, we filled out the numbered boxes which pointed an arrow to the volcanoes, towers and more! I filled out nearly half of my form. My eyes were focused on the thick glass because every time someone put one foot on it I would always get me thinking: Is it going to break is it going to break!?. One other thing that scared me was the  sky diving from the top of the tower to the bottom which was 192 meters down! I would scream as loud as I can all the way to the bottom of the sky tower. Cool right?

Vital Sleeping - Group A

Why is sleep important? well, group A have the answer to that. Together in our group created a presentation that gives a clear explanation of why sleep is so important, how long do we humans need to sleep, why sleeping is healthy and how technology or devices affect our sleep patterns. Savelina and I have worked on the final/last slide to inform you about the 3 main or vital reasons why people/children might not get the same amount of sleep as the people with roofs over their heads! But... before all of this, our group took a look at pictures that involve the homes of the people that can or cannot sleep.
