Back To School! - Topic: Sun smart

Welcome back blog world! It's nice to be back to school for for the first week of term 4!! YAY! I am so looking forward to our new topic about sun smart and also sun safety! Our first task for sun smart is to use something creative to show our learning about things we have learnt so far about sun safety. For this assignment I have chosen to work with my intelligent friend Evanjaline and we have chosen to write a song about sun smart. Thanks to Evangaline we have finished the song today and we are very proud of ourselves! So hope you enjoy our song down below and please leave a comment giving us some feedback!


Sun Situations

Chorus
When ya out-side (Drag), Even when it's cloudy, Make sure your wearin a cap, or even a hatx2

1st Verse,
Even when your wearing sunscreen, its never enough. You gotta have that sun hat protective stuff.
Your Head, Neck, and Face.
You gotta look after that precious space.
NZ has some of the strongest levels of  UV radiation.
Now that's a cool sun situation

Chorus
When ya out-side (Drag), Even when it's cloudy, Make sure your wearin a cap, or even a hatx2

 2nd Verse
Lets all be safe! Let us be SunSmart!
It may sound hard but its your time to start.
Together we can spread the word
let's call it collaboration
Is that another sun situation

Chorus
When ya out-side (Drag), Even when it's cloudy, Make sure your wearin a cap, or even a hatx2

is an interesting title (I might have phrased the title as a question.)

gives a general “classification” – and maybe a technical classification
outlines the main features of the subject
My main paragraphs/body paragraphs:
have clear topic sentences  (topic and main point)
are organised so that each paragraph is about a different aspect of the subject
give detailed information (factual descriptions)
include specific, technical vocabulary
are generally balanced (have a similar amount of detail about the different aspects I write about)
may have helpful: tables, pictures and/or diagrams to add information
My end paragraph/conclusion:
draws the report together/sums up my main points
may give a personal opinion; ask the reader a question and/or tell the reader where further information may be found

[Introduction]

Have you ever wondered about the life cycle of stars? Well if you have, then read on this explanation will help you gain more information that you could use to write your own explanation!

[Paragraph 1-Life cycle]

To begin of with the life cycle, stars are born in a cloud of hydrogen atoms and dust atoms that is called nebula. Also there is gravity battling the star, but the core of the star which is nuclear fusion and it’s usually called equilibrium which means it’s the main sequence. The energy produces to help blow much of the disc of gas away, leaving the new star shining brightly. The centre, or core of the proto star gets increasingly dense and hot until nuclear fusion is finally triggered!  Stars sequence lasts depending on the mass of the star and how much hydrogen fuel the star contains. Some stars shine unevenly, and known to be a variable star.

[Paragraph 2 -Appearance]

Have you noticed that most of our stars are all different colours and shapes! One star that makes me really interested in is Orion. The reason why I am interested in Orion is because because it is visible and from we live (New Zealand) in Autumn we can see it in and also in winter and spring! Lastly, we can see that stars are all different colors and shapes and sizes.Stars range in colour depending on how hot they can be. (Temperature) Did you also know that the second brightest star is Canopus!

[Paragraph 3 -Types of stars]

These different types of stars like a proto and dwarf star. Did you that Rigel (the star) is 20 000 degrees and it is also 40 000 times brighter than the sun! Stars that are more than eight times the mass of the sun are called “blue giants”! During a supernova event, enough light is released is outshine an entire galaxy of billions of stars. A supernova are the most dynamic and energetic events in our universe. There are different kinds of stars, there are nova stars, a supergiant star and a dwarf star.

[Conclusion]

Did you know in ancient civilization they knew when a new year had passed by observing changes in patterns in the stars! I hoped you have learnt some information about stars if you still have some questions then go to this website http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/sciencefacts/space/stars.html. Good luck on your explanation.

Nga Manawa (Mangroves)

Konichiwa
This blog post is about Nga Manawa. Here is two facts about how  Nga Manawa can protect the ocean.
1.They can clean the ocean
2.They can provide green dye
Hopefully this information in my  presentation can help you learn more about Nga Manawa.

Ocean currents

We have been exploring  thinglink and creating content which other people can use to learn  here are some fun facts: 1)Ocean currents move around the world.2)If we didn't have ocean currents the ocean wouldn't move.3)Ocean currents keep the lands warm from the cold. 

Cuttlefish

Welcome to my blog ,this term McCahon class is focusing on Marine Habitats and my sea creature I have chosen is Cuttlefish and this are 3 cool facts about cuttlefish.
