Nz Schools and Korean Schools - Reon

Here is my Presentation on the Differences between New Zealand schools and Korean Schools. Schools in Korea are very different to ours, such as 16 hour school days and 4 storey high schools!

Halving and Doubling

Here is a DLO I made if you are struggling with multiplication. It shows you how to answer harder multiplication problems using Halving and Doubling

Giant Pandas

For reading this is my groups Synthesizing activity. It is about Giant Pandas and information about them
such as How there endangered. Synthesizing is gathering what you already know and making it into a opinion or understanding.

Here is my DLO on the Children's Author Kyle Mewburn. I included things about

his past life and two of his books. I mentioned a book I would recommend to someone, that book is The House on the Hill.  

Synthesizing Activity

Here is my Synthesizing activity. For the prior knowledge I had to write down what I already knew about gorillas. I said that gorillas eat bananas,they live in the jungle and there aggressive. But then I learnt new things such as Gorillas have a leader called a silver back,There group is called a "Troop". I then synthesized and learnt we must prevent the Gorillas from extinction since they are and endangered species.

China DLO

Here is a DLO showing Interesting facts,photos and the flag of china. I included some photos of the great wall of china,temples and a traditional Chinese dragon. This DLO was for my Topic work.

China Collage

Here is my collage I created with Jericho. I took a tour around the great wall of China using google maps. Here is the photo source 

Blue Whales Information

Blue Whale The blue whale is a type of mammal called a cetacean and is a type of baleen whale. The scientific name for the blue whale is the Balaenoptera muscolus. Blue whales are by far the biggest animals in the world. Even the biggest dinosaur that ever lived doesn't come close in size to the blue whale.

Diet To eat, blue whales filter their food through stiff, bony, comb-like teeth called baleen plates. Their main diet is krill (small creatures that are less than 2 cm in size). A blue whale can eat up to 3,600 kilograms of krill a day during its peak consumption period. Blue whales catch their food by diving down to about 500 meters below the surface.5

Habitat Blue whales are found in open oceans from the icy waters of the extreme Southern Hemisphere to the Aleutian Islands off Alaska at the northern boundary of the Pacific Ocean. Summers are spent in polar waters because food production is higher there.

Appearance Blue whales are simply enormous. Their heart is the size of a small car. A blue whale aorta (the main blood vessel) alone is large enough for a human to crawl through. They can weigh over 200,000 kilograms! Female blue whales are generally larger than males. Blue whales are light bluish gray on their dorsal side and mottled gray whitish on their bellies. Some have yellowish bellies.

Endangered species The worldwide blue whale population is not known, however, blue whales are considered endangered according to the U.S. Endangered Species Act. For many years blue whales were hunted extensively for their large quantities of baleen, blubber, and meat. Although blue whales are protected, their populations show few signs of recovery.

Blue whales are large mammals that spends their time in the icy oceans.  They only eat krill and are not a threat to any other creature in the ocean.  Blue whales face the risk of extinction if humans continue to hunt them for their baleen, blubber and meat.

Here is my Blue whale information report, it is highlighted because I was looking for information. My Learning intention was to understand the structure of information reports

E-ako maths

This is my E-ako maths results for today. I was doing number sentences and multiplication tables. I got all my answers right and scored 21 points on E-ako maths

Synthesizing

Here is my Biopic Poster I created. When I was creating this poster I had to synthesize, Synthesize means to look at things from a different way for new opinions and new understandings. I researched about this person, and added things like the background to match their personality and achievements.

Prefix-Sub

Due to global warming,cities could be completely Submerged. The only way to get around the city was by travelling in a Submarine. The temperature had reached Subzero. The Subway had completely vanished. As Evelyn hopped out of the train she realized she stepped on subsoil and noticed that she was sinking,this was subnormal.

Here is our word wall with a paragraph below. Our task was to find prefix words that start with sub, prefix words mean under or uptop. My group have created a paragraph of writing that has some words that start with sub.

Hit the button

Here is my results for a new maths game I played. I scored 12 out of 14 for my 7 times tables. Here is the link if you want to play Hit The Button

Times Table stratergy

Here is a DLO that explains how to solve most of your times tables facts using only your 5 times tables. Practising this strategy will help you if your not good at most of your multiplication facts.
