@Home School Timetable

Kia ora everyone,

We were tasked last week to make a school week timetable for ourselves while were all at home, since we are all having to do our work from home, I thought it'd be a good idea to post the timetable, so if you haven't made one already, you could make one and base it off mine perhaps.

2 Meter Mathematics

For maths this week we have been looking at measurement. For our first activity we needed to get a household item and see how many you could fit into 2 meters. (Remember to social distance !)

Here are my findings..

Have you ever done something like this?

What could be similar to the Wizard Of Oz?!

Kia ora everyone, I hope you're all doing well!

For yesterdays literacy activity we had to think of, and describe movies similar to the "Wizard Of Oz" as that is the movie/book we are focusing on this term. I immediately thought of Alice and Wonderland, and then after a bit thought of Caroline. I mainly got the first idea for Caroline because in both stories, the natural land is grey until they go to this new place.

Can you think of any other stories similar to the Wizard of oz?

Wild Book Covers & Blurbs

Kia ora everyone,

One of my reading tasks was to create a book cover and blurb for a book on Canva. I did mine on a book called "Wild Animus" by Rich Shapero. The blurb doesn't exactly give too much info on the book and is meant to make you have a lot of questions after reading it, sort of like the book itself. You don't exactly know what's going on until you read more.

I also apologize for the blurriness, I didn't really know how to avoid that when saving the image.

Have you ever read the book?

Aurora Rising: Reading for 30 minutes

Hey bloggers,
For my reading for the next few days I'm going to read a sci-fi fiction book called Aurora Rising. I started reading it yesterday, and it's a book about a terrible team of space aliens that find a girl (called Aurora) frozen in a capsule. The get her out of that goop for her only to realize she is now 200 years in the future (300 years from the present though). They end up trying to take Aurora to her "Home planet" only to find the the "Space government" has said that it has never been inhabited in the first place. Is this girl just going insane after being trapped in space ice or are the government hiding something? I honestly don't know.

So far I'm around a quarter way there (out of 480 pages). And I will post about it once I've finished reading it!

Retro Puzzle Peices

Kia ora everyone,
Today I went onto a site called Jigsawplanet.com and did a 32 piece puzzle called "Retro Dreams". It took me around 5 minutes. It was surprisingly quite relaxing compared to other tasks I've been set.

Have you done anything like this online before?

7 worlds, 1 Planet - David Attenborough

While I was watching Sir David Attenboroughs documentary "7 worlds, 1 planet" one scene really hit me.

It showed the Albatross, a bird I had heard of, but never really looked into. They are great, beautiful birds that live on the tall ledges of rocky mountains that sit over the sea. The episode was mainly about how they are affected by climate change, especially their chicks. 

You see, Albatross can't detect which chick is theirs by smell, sight, or calls. The only way they can tell which chick is theirs is if it's in their nest. If it's to the side of it, and not on the nest, then the parents don't realize it's theirs.

Climate change is rising the sea levels, and wind levels, this means while both of the chicks parents are gone to fetch food for a good few days, the weak chick has to stay in it's nest while the wind rages. Obviously almost all chicks blow out and don't survive, and even if they do, they have to climb back up onto the nest or they while starve or freeze.
