Inquiry

-

Hello everyone,

Online school has been going on for 4 weeks now. Online school has been fun to try out. In online school, we have a timetable with our weekly tasks on it. One of the tasks is inquiry. So today I will be sharing about my inquiry and what I have been doing.

InquiryFor inquiry, our topic is oceans. Oceans has been an interesting topic to work on. In the area of the ocean topic, I choose to work on sea temperature rise. I have found that is not only caused by glaciers melting and heat but also by greenhouse gases. It has been good learning about sea temperature rise but bad at the same time learning about how it affects our future. Here are some interesting facts I have learned.
  • Global sea levels have risen by 200mm since 1880
  • It has been causing flood problems in some cities
  • Sea levels could rise another 1.3 meters in the next 80 years
  • It is threatening coastal plant and animal life
  • Over the past 50 years, the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula has been one of the most rapidly warming parts of the planet

Hello everyone, As you know New Zealand is in Level 4 of lockdown.  So I have been staying safe at home.  I have been doing lots of walking and biking around the neighbourhood, and keeping up my fitness in any way possible! Painting My sister and I have also been painting. Painting has been very fun.  We have painted lots of boxes and making them into 'Letterboxes'.  Which has been very fun to try out. I painted a big yogurt box lids, and I also painted two boxes, one of the boxes was really thin and really long it was used to hold the lining in, and the other box used to hold bottles, it was the box I made into a letterbox. The decoration on the yogurt lids and the lining box was rainbow and on the other box, it was splashed with different colours! Decoration Easter has recently been too as you know.  So we decorated the house Easter themed. It was very fun to decorate the house! As a family, we decorated with old stuff that was in the attic, in the a...

  Hello everyone,  last week the Hillary Hub and I went to a school camp to Wainui. Wainui is close to Akaroa.  We started off with the bus ride over there. I had a front seat next to Greta ( my friend ).  When we got there we went and had a look at our bunk rooms. Bunk Rooms: I had a very good bunk room in my bunk room I had my friends Maddie, Meg M and Hazel. It was a nice quiet bunk room. We got to sleep well although we did have noisy neighbours running around and giggling on the first night, but we did have good sleep. Activities: The activities were fun the one I was most scared about was abseiling. The one I was most excited for was Kayaking. High Ropes: I enjoyed learning how to belay and to feed to rope out and in, we also learned how to coil the rope. My favourite was probably feeding the rope through. The climbing part was a bit scary although I did not get to do much climbing as we had to take turns in a 4, overall I love learning how to do it all. Kayaki...
