The Moon

2010-05-04T12:02:00.002+12:00

What do you see in the sky at night? The moon. The moon is an important system for the earth. Here’s some information on the moon.
About five billion years ago, huge clouds of dust and gas started to shrink under its own gravity. The centre got squeezed so tightly it heated because of the pressure. That created the sun, moons, planets and meteors. The reason why the moon keeps orbiting the earth instead of floating of is because of the earth’s gravity.
You can see dark patches on the moon called seas. That is where lava once flowed. Also you can see craters from where meteors crashed. The reason the moon changes form is because the sun shines on one side of the moon. The parts we see are the parts the sun is shining on.
The moon is moving further away from earth. In a few million years the moon will plunge into the sun. That means our nights will be a lot darker.
The moon gives us light when the sun reflects of it and also makes the tides go in and out like a magnet.
So now you know a lot about the moon and how it was formed, its appearance and its affect on earth.

Special Olympic Advertising

2009-12-04T09:42:00.003+13:00

Walt: Create an advertisement persuading people to go to the Special Olympics here in Palmerston North.

I used MS Publisher to create this poster. To make my poster stand out and grab the readers attention I had to find fonts and colours stood out from the back-ground. I found finding fonts and colours that would stand out challenging because it was hard to find the right fonts and colours and by using perseverance, I finally got it right!! Something I enjoyed was finding photos and backgrounds and arranging and rearranging the photos and words because I got to create it to make it stand out my way. Something interesting I learnt about advertising was that you had to make almost everything stand out especially the title!

Special Olympic inquiry

2009-11-23T09:49:00.008+13:00

WALT: follow an inquiry process and present out inquiry learning about the Special Olympics using MS Movie maker. Before making this movie, I looked over the feedback I received last term for my movie about China. Some of the things I took into consideration and tried to improve on when making this movie were Add word to photos, speak louder and add more expression. Something interesting I have learnt about the Special Olympics during this inquiry is that the 5 stick figures represent the 5 continents. A challenge I found in this inquiry is making the movie because the camera kept on blacking out I over came this challenge by changing batteries and we managed to get our movie done.

WALT:Follow an inquiry process.

This term we have been learning about China, we have continued building on the inquiry skills we have leart in term 2. We brainstormed open quesions as a class and then delegated these out to pairs. The part of China Beth, Izzy, Krista, Zeppelin and I were finding out more about was Chinas History. We found our information on the internet and from books. We used a data chart to make sure we triangulated all our information so we knew it was true. We then used movie maker to present our inquiry. Something I enjoyed was making the movie becuase I got to learn how to use Movie Maker. An interesting fact I found out was the Chinese zodiac anamalis arnt just years, thier months to. My next learning step in inquiry is to be more focased to awnser my qustons.

My learning about the Kokako

2009-07-02T14:37:00.006+12:00

WALT:Present the information I have learnt during my inquiry simply and clearly so that others can gain the most important information from my presentation.

This voice thread explains what I have learnt about the Kokako. Something I think I did really well at this inquiry was my patience. Next time I do an inquiry I could improve on doing something not so hard.The part i liked the best about doing an inquiry was finding the info because we got to go to the library and heaps more and making my presentation because I got to share my info.

Kokako

2009-06-18T10:55:00.008+12:00

WALT: Use Blabberise to share information on our Inquiry learning.

I used Blabberise to make this video. The information I used is what I already know so far during my inquiry on the Kokako

An interesting fact I have found out about the Kokako is that the North Island Kokako has blue gills and the South Island has yellow or orange gills.

The Kokako belongs to a grop called Wattlebirds incloding the Saddleback and the extinct Huia

Principals questions about Create IT so far

2009-02-24T14:19:00.005+13:00

HOW DOSE USING A BLOG HELP YOU WITH YOUR LEARNING?

A blog helps me learn because all the learning on the Internet I can share with others and I can learn with others online

HOW DOES A BLOG LINK YOUR SCHOOL LEARNING WITH YOUR HOME?

Because I can share my learning with my family at home instead of when they drop me off at school
