Labelling parts of a boat.

 

For my home learning tasks, I have labelled each part of the boat. Since I couldn't draw a boat on google drawings, I have drawn my own boat on a piece of paper and took a photo.

Making Breaking during Lockdown!

 

Mathematics - Tasks 3.

 

For Project Based Learning. I had to pick an object from a novel, The Refugee by Alan Gratz. I picked Isabel's Trumpet, labelled it and wrote the purpose. Hope you all stay safe at home and stay warm!

 Cuba - 1930’s . Isabel’s Story.

Cuba, A beautiful and yet also a brutal country. It has such a rich and colorful country and their culture and traditions are incredibly pleasing. But, like they say, behind a beautiful story is a cruel history. 

In Cuba, Havana 1895, there was a war. Origins of the war. The war originated in the Cuban struggle for independence from Spain, which began in February 1895. The Cuban Missile Crisis first occurred in 1962 when the Soviet Union began to install nuclear missiles to Cuba. It began when the Soviet Union (USSR) began building missile sites in Cuba in 1962. Together with the earlier Berlin Blockade, this crisis is seen as one of the most important confrontations of the Cold War. The main reasons for the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 were…

• Communist revolution 1959.

• Castro supported communism.

• Bay of Pigs Disaster 1961.

• Castro support from USSR

 

President Kennedy, the image on the top left,  did not want the Soviet Union and Cuba to know that he had discovered the missiles. President Kennedy, an American politician who served as the 35th president of the United States from 1961 until his assassination near the end of his third year in office. 

My Refugee Poem!

My Refugee Poem.

Guns pointed at those who are most innocent,

not many people are able to vent.

This world is also so cruel,

Poor people becoming jews and being forced,

These brutal and savage soldiers make sure they never lose.

We are referred to as “one” when there are humans getting treated the opposite and suffering all in one.

Viewing - Poster.

 

For Project Based Learning, me and my buddy Maria decided we'd work together on this task. We had to view the image in the center and write what we see. Me and my friend Maria were very pleased with how this came out! 

Science - Task 1 .

 

For Science, I made a presentation based on laws of buoyancy, how objects float, and why objects float. I hope you enjoy this presentation. 

Snow planet Trip !

 "WHOOSH" As I feel the cold breezy air flow against my face aggressively as I slide down the icy slide with my inflatable tube. It felt so magical because I've never experienced playing in snow or in a freezing cold place before. I was spinning around and around bumping into the icy sides, I was so filled with joy and excitement. It was also a bit disappointing that we weren't allowed to snowboard or ski for some reason, but it was fine because we still had loads of fun sliding down with our inflatable tubes!

I ran around and had a laugh with my friends as we went down again. Suddenly I spotted a warm hut located on the side ways, there were 2 or 3 huts so I rushed to see what was inside! I saw a mirror, a sled, and a big brown chair that old people usually enjoy sitting on when it's a cold winter time. It looked like a hut that probably Santa Claus would chill in, It was so awesome! I sat on the chair and relaxed for a bit. 

After a while, We had to leave because our bus was almost arriving. I really didn't want to leave because of how much fun I and my mates were having! I was making my way down near the door and so we could get changed, But I saw a pile of snow and leaped into it "CRUSH" I felt the cold frosty snow against my thick warm pants and my puffy jacket, I then start to make a Snow Angel! I felt so relieved that I was actually making a Snow Angel in snow! And then that's when I got up, took a look at my awesome Snow Angel and left to get changed. 

Mud Run!

 Mud Run !

"SPLASH SPLASH" As I run through the muddy ground on a dreadful day, I try catching my breath inhaling and exhaling audaciously. I see other students from different schools pushing themselves to get up the hill, climb over the big wall, and down again the steep mountain. While I tried to run along the muddy path, I saw a big puddle and everyone was trying to get back up. I then knew that I had to take my shoes off and so I didn't lose it in the big puddle, because there were a whole bunch of kids diving in and laughing away. 

Once I've run down the steep hill, I had to stop at the small tunnels that we had to crawl through. I get on my hands and knees and start crawling on both hands, "squish squish" . My bare hands going through the filthy ground, I was then thinking about if the horses did their business here and we're just smuggling our hands and knees into it! 

It felt like I was so close to the finishing line because of the parents cheering and yelling names. I felt so relieved because I was finally near the end! I take my muddy socks off and start sprinting, I spot the finish sign and I finally reach the end. I was jumping and leaping with joy, I was so happy that I had finally gone through the mud run without giving up. I was so devastated and edger to finish this race and I finally did it.

Kiwi sports with Coach Zayde.

For Gymnastics, Room 7 and I experienced different gymnastic positions. Positions such as:

• Tuck Sit  
• Motorbike landing
• Angry Cat
• Happy Cat
• Straddle
• L sit

Room 7 and I had loads of fun by doing handstands, passing the ball in tuck sit position using our feet, and just challenging ourselves to try nail every simple gymnastic position. I felt very excited to participate in gymnastic and excited that I got to learn some fun gymnastic activities! 

It was super fun with our coach Zayde, I can't wait to do some more gymnastics with our coach !
