Last week was Holy week this is important in the Catholic Church because that’s when Jesus died on the cross and rose up from the dead. This is important as it is the main part of our faith. I learnt that easter is not a one day thing it goes over the whole week.

 

Here is the Holy Week task I did showing what happened during Holy Week.

Do you know what Holy Week is?

 

These few weeks in PBL we have been make a island we could make our island on a map or we could make it with cardboard we could make it on minecraft also. But i made my island on a map. I have a freshwater lake on my island that come from the rain and the snow that melts into water. my map has a village, a volcano, a lake, mountains, a rock water fall that goes into the lake, a cave, a dock, and i have windmills for the village power. my island is called jumanji.

What would you call your island?

This week in reading we have been reading about skyscrapers the two skyscrapers we have been learning about the burj khalifa which is the biggest building in the world and KVLY-TV which is a cell phone tower two facts i learnt was that it is 2,063 foot-tall or 629 meters tall. The burj khalifa was $1.5 billion to make the building was opened in 2010. My reading goal was to Make connections between texts Identify some text events and features, and discuss what they make the reader think about. For the crate we had to make our own skyscraper here is an image.

What would your skyscraper look like?

Mad Maths

Patterns are sequences repeating or growing made of numeric or spatial elements governed by a rule. In Maths we had to Create our own growing pattern using a shapes of our choice. Once we created 5 steps of our growing pattern we write down the pattern that we created. Then we created a table demonstrating the pattern. We had to Swap with a friend and see if they can figure out my pattern. here is a photo of my mth create.

have you ever had to do learning with patterns?

How can we be Champions of Peace

For the last four weeks of Term 3 we were learning about ‘How we can be Champions on Peace’. Firstly we learnt about the different symbols of peace. Some of these are the olive branch and The dove has been a symbol of peace and innocence for thousands of years The dove symbol represent peace because a dove came to represent peace with God innocence and purity.

With these symbols in mind I created a Peace Artwork. My Peace Artwork represents peace because my peace art work is the whole world holding hand and no countries are fighting 

We also researched some real life champions of peace and wrote a short biography. I wrote about martin luther king jr I thought this person was a champion of peace because he was trying to stop racism and bring peace to the world.

We also created a peace prayer book. I enjoyed learning about peace because  it makes me happy and I learnt about many different cultures and religions.

One way I plan on being a champion of peace is by picking up rubbish and helping the community.

 

how would you help the world with peace?  

 

In Science we have been learning about electricity. We did 2 experiments about electricity and both of them worked. The two experiments that we did was a water circuit and a squishy (playdoh) circuit. It was fun to try out different strategies to get the experiment to work. I will tell you my favourite experiment that my group did.

The experiment that I am talking about is making a buzzer sound using salt and water. The name of the experiment that I did was called the water circuit. The materials we needed included:

– 2 copper nails

– 2 zinc nails

– water

– salt

– 2 cups, 1 for water and 1 for the old water

– 1 buzzer.

My hypotheses: Before conducting my experiment I thought that the water circuit would not conduct electricity, because how can water have power? 

Below is an image of the circuit that we created.

My results: I found out that water can conduct electricity, this surprised me.

Out of all the experiments we did I really enjoyed doing the water circuit because it was fun to do with my buddy and when it started buzzing we were surprised.

Have you ever done a science experiment before?

list poem I discovered that a list poem is a poetic form that presents ideas, images, or emotions through a series of items or descriptions. A list poem is like making a special kind of list, but instead of just writing down things you need to remember, you use your words to create a poem. It was fun to grab some cool and attracting words to make my                                                                                                              list poem here is my list poem                                                                                                                                                               

 Limericks: I learned that a limerick is a humorous five-line poem with a distinctive rhyme scheme and a bouncy rhythm. I also learned that The first and second lines of a limerick usually rhyme with each other, and the third and fourth lines rhyme with each other too. I enjoyed the challenge of finding rhyming words and finding the right amount of syllables here is my limerick poem. 

Blackout Poetry: I discovered that Blackout poetry is the art of selectively erasing words from existing texts to create new poetic compositions. Blackout poetry, also known as erasure poetry, is a unique form of poetic expression that involves selectively blacking out or erasing words from an existing text to create a new text. here is my black out poem

 

 

 

this week in maths our create was to spin a wheel with midwinter breakfast foods like hot cakes, porridge, Sausage Sizzle and hot choc. I made a tally chart for the wheels results I spun my wheel 45 times and other people spun theirs differently. My results were 10 hot cakes 12 for porridge 9 for sausage sizzle and 13 for hot choc to get those. I made my tally chart on a google spreadsheet and made a pie graph and then put it on to a google drawing. Here is my create that i made.
