Square Group's 3D Challenge

Today's challenge was to create 3d shapes using the same polygon on each face. Once this had been completed, and the process photographed, the groups were asked to work collaboratively to create a presentation (of their choice) to share their learning. No instructions were given... just hints like the one that reminded the groups to record all the questions they asked each other. This is all their own work and was confidently presented to the class to show their understanding. Great work everyone!

Pah Nwee's popplet about Stars

Pah Nwee used his research skills to find out these facts about stars. Part of his challenge was to be able to tell us all about the information he had found out in his own words. He did a fantastic job of both parts of his challenge.

Tim and Pah Nwee's Research

This is my Prezi about Japan. I was working with Pah Nwee and we worked great together as partners. We had to find some resources telling us Why Japan came to NZL, What Traditional food from Japan was introduced to NZL and what celebrations does Japan celebrate. We had to present this Prezi in front of the class and Pah Nwee and I was very nervous but we made it and Mrs Anderson was impressed with me and Pah Nwee. I worked hard and believe it or not this was my first prezi that I ever made with and without a partner.

Why is Facebook is a Problem?

Shockingly, it has been discovered that one and a half billion people log onto Facebook everyday! With so many people using Facebook lots of problems are happening on this social networking site.

Firstly problems start happening when people write negative things about other people. Lots of people see these comments and start thinking the wrong thing. This is because people believe what is written. When rumours start it becomes serious and is called cyber bullying.

Cyber bulling is a huge problem because it affects a lot of people. Cyber bullies post false information which makes victims feel embarrassed and humiliated as other people are commenting on things that aren't true. This means Facebook can be misleading.

Misleading people is another danger of Facebook. You can pretend to be someone else, or you can be tricked by someone who is pretending to be someone else. To make sure you are safe think about who you are adding as a friend on Facebook.

Remember staying safe is one of the biggest problems on Facebook and is the most important thing. Think about what you post, what you read and what you comments on. With one and half billion users everyday things go wrong because on a social networking site everybody can see what you post.

Topic Challenge

Room 9's challenge was to find the answers to each of the three set questions then explain their findings in 25 words. They have done a great job of finding the facts and putting them into their own words.

What is Pollination?

Pollination is a process which pollen is transferred from the anther to the stigma of the plant. Thereby  it makes it possible to Fertilization  and reproduction.

Explain in 25 words that the role bees have in a plant reproduction?

Bees help plants grow. Without bees we wouldn’t get chocolate, coffee, bread and most other foods that we have today.  They help us alot.

Explain in 25 words how plant reproduction processes produce much of our food.

The plants reproduces more so than  before, because the bees have helped it grow  by transferring pollen from one flower to the female flowers stigma.

Kyra and Joshua

What is Pollination?

Pollination is when Pollinators (Bees,Moths,Butterflies) get pollen from an anther(Male) and transfer the pollen into the stigma(Female).

What role do bees play in plant reproduction?

Bees transfer pollen from a male flower into a female flower’s stigma.

Explain in 25 words how plant reproduction processes produce much of our food.

If this process didn’t exist we wouldn’t have foods such as fries that are produced by potatoes which need plant reproduction to grow.

Fine and Halatoa

What is pollination?

Pollinators (Bees etc.) collect pollen from plants and put pollen on other plants so they can grow. Without pollen there wouldn’t be plants and other things..

What role do bees have in plant reproduction

Bees fly to plants. They grab the pollen. Bees carry pollen to other plants. The pollen jumps on to the plant to help it grow.

How plant reproduction processes produce and much of our food

Plant reproduction is creating more plants. More plants mean more fruits and more food that grow in the ground to eat.

Herring Facts by Pah Nwee and Mrs Anderson

Pah Nwee read the story 'Fishing off the Wharf' today. After we had talked about the story he used his book to help him find the answers then we looked up some facts about herrings and put the facts in our own words.

How an egg becomes a frog

A tadpole is a baby frog Tadpole lives in the water it is an amphibian.

Frogs lay eggs. When the eggs the baby frogs came out they are called Tadpoles.

When the tadpoles hatch they have a tall to help them swim after a few weeks they grow legs.

After that the Tadpole is nearly a frog but it still has a tail. It is new called a froglet.

Finally the froglet turns into a frog it has no tail and it can breathe on land.

Frogs live by water.

Vietnam War

War is when countries fight. Are you aware that 38 New Zealand soldiers died in the Vietnam war.

Vietnam was two countries, North Vietnam and South Vietnam. North Vietnam had lots of rules but South Vietnam had only a few rules. In 1957 the war started because North Vietnam was angry because they wanted South Vietnam to have the same rules. South Vietnam didn’t like this so they had a big fight.

Six million people died in the war. Four million were not soldiers. Some countries made some friendship promises with South Vietnam so they went to help them in the war. Those countries were called the Allied Forces. Australia,  South Korea, New Zealand and America all helped South Vietnam. North Vietnam and the Viet Cong were on the other side.

After the American soldiers went home South Vietnam stopped fighting and gave up. North Vietnam had won the war. They made South Vietnam have the same rules as them.

Lots of people from Vietnam were sad. They had no house, no food and some of their family died.

Today Vietnam is one country and they all have the same rules.

Vietnam War Timeline: Pah Nwee

 

This is a Vietnam War timeline that I made on Popplet, I hope you can learn something new.

New Zealand Timeline from 1908 - 2004

Teagan, Kyra, Deannika, Kataraena, Puke, Pah Nwee and Henry worked collaboratively on this research task. Their challenge was to find three facts about each event, summarise their information and record their findings in their own words. Each slide acknowledges the websites where they found their information if you would like to read about these events in more detail.
