DEADLY MARS!

This week we have been learning about MARS! We have learnt a-lot. So I am posting this up to show all of my learning about Mars! I hope you learn fun facts! Down below is my report. (I have also made my writing colourful and checked it against the SC!)

Introduction:

Have you ever wondered about Mars’? Well if you are always wondering about the reddish orange Mars’. Then read on, this report will help you learn a decent amount of information about Mars’.

1st Paragraph: Surface features

Mars’ is a lifeless planet,it is harsh, rocky, red and the fourth planet in the solar system. Did you know that Mars’ is a continent that makes Mars’ have frozen polar caps and a canyon called Mariner Valley. Even though Mars is cold it has the biggest volcano in the universe called Olympus Mons and it is almost the same height as Mt Everest. If you were there your life would   be lifeless!    

                                                                                                                                  

2nd Paragraph: Why people can’t live on Mars..

The reason why people can’t live on Mars, Mars’ atmosphere is thin that causes Mars to be cold. Mars’ temperature is 80.8 degrees and all of the water on Mars’ turns into ice. Most of all, Mars has storms that blows the sand everywhere and the storm could be on for months. Also one big thing is that Mars’ does  not have much water than on Earth. Oxygen is also required there  because there is probably 0.2% oxygen on Mars. There is also no magnetic field to block the harmful radiation.   This is a photo of a robot on Mars!

3rd paragraph: Mars’  Moons

Phobos and Deimos is the names of Mars’ two moons. Phobos and Deimos are shaped like lumpy potatoes. One fact about Mars’ moons is that Mars’ moons were captured as asteroids! They were discovered in 1877 by Asaph Hall. The moons were named after characters from Greek mythology and their father is Ares God of war! Therefore they have not been having a harmless life!

This is a photo of Mars’s moons!


The orbit of Mars!

Even though Mars is our closest neighbour, it’s orbit is very difficult. A day equals 24 hours and 37 minutes on Mars. This is because it spins slower than our planet. Moreover, a year on Mars is the same as 687 Earth days! Imagine if you lived on Mars, you would be almost half the age you were on Earth!

 This is a photo is of Mars’ orbit!

Conclusion:

I gather you have learnt some facts about Mars? Well if you have and you still would like some more facts about Mars- http://www.planetsforkids.org/planet-mars.html. I hope you have enough ideas for your report!

ARB WALT: Missed Opportunities, Mmmm..MINE!

Hi guys,

This ARB is a little story. When I was working on this I was finding the missed opportunities. The reason why I was looking for the missed opportunities is because that is was our learning intention. Down below is my answers or my question from my teacher!

Describe what the fish is thinking about when he says, “Mine!”

I think the fish is thinking about the fly and saying in his mind, “ That fly is mine!”

b) Describe what the man is thinking about when he says, “Mine!”

The man might be thinking about the bear! Maybe because he

c) If there was one more picture added to continue the pattern of this story, what would it show?

               

          I think it would be the cat saying GOT IT!

           

d) If you were giving this picture story another title which of the titles below would be the best one to use
          (highlight your answer)?

(A) Lunch

(B) Wild-life Adventure

(C) Lost Chances

(D) The Food Chain

FIRE in the HOLE!

               
                                                         Kia Ora,
                            This thinklink is about what I have learnt about learnt about ANZAC,
                      also it may help you learn a few things about ANZAC. Please leave a comment                                                   down below telling me what you learnt or what you already knew!

T2 Week 1 Reflection ANZAC

What?

What I have learnt this week is that ANZAC stands for Australian New Zealand army corps. Another thing I have been learning about this week is that this year ANZAC was the 100th anniversary. Also that scientists found out that rosemary flowers are things that help you remember special ceremonies or celebrations. Poppies are also things that are used to remember those people who fought in war.

So what?

The reason why we have learnt about ANZAC is because it’s something that Australian and New Zealand people should be doing to remember all those people who have fought  in world war 1 and sacrificed their lives for us. Not just that, if they did not go out and battle that would have meant we would be living in a world of terrible.( Being slaves, starving to death also world of miserable.)

Now what?

What I can do now is look for other websites or other learning sites about ANZAC and make a DLO explaining what I have learnt about ANZAC then present it to show my family or my friends.( Or teacher)

My end of Wk 8 reflection

What?
What I learnt about this week was about graphs. Our WALT was how graphs can be shown in two ways. The pie graph and the bar graph.

So what?

Graphs can be shown in two different ways, like in pie graphs and bar graphs because it can show the same data, but it  may not the the same data.

Now what?

Next I will try to show data in three ways and make sure that the data is correct.

Hi guys this reflection is about graphs.This week we have been learning about graphs and how to find the same data in two or three graphs.

My explanation on how to: survive your first night in Mine-craft

In Week 6 of Term 1 our class focussed on how to write great explanations. We wrote about how to survive your first night in Minecraft (the game a lot of us are obsessed with!).

Here is my writing, after I have self-assessed and peer-assessed my work.

HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR FIRST NIGHT IN MINECRAFT

Is it your first night on minecraft… and you have no idea what to do? Well, read on because I’m going to explain how to survive your first night.

First, you collect some wood to make planks for, building tables and making tools. But here’s the catch you have only started so you're going to have to use your hands.Where you can find wood is from the trees you're going to have to have to break it with your hands, also you will have to collect sticks. How you can collect sticks is the same way as you collected the wood from the trees.This is going to be handy..

Second of all, you have to find a nice smooth, flat ground or a tree. Or you can dig in a mountain and not to far because when you wake up there is a chance that you may die. That’s why I recommend a tree because it’s better, as long as you secure the surrounding. Make sure it’s near resources(like water,food)  and make it away from mobs which are zombies, skeletons, spiders, creepers and endermen that can bite you to death. Have you found a good place to camp?

Thirdly, you should go out and get some resources. Get some leather. Where you will find leather is from cows, but you will have to kill the cow to get leather. Sometimes you will not get leather. After that you will have to find the cobblestones. Cobblestones are mostly found in the minds, so you will have to go minding. In the end you have wood to make all the other resources.(Torches,furnace,other resources…)

Also get food from pigs, cows and waters from the lake.

In conclusion, you're going to have to do something for me… find some friends to camp with.  What’s good about camping all alone. You got to have fun!!!
