Paideia Seminar - 'Pollution'

Last week the Extension group had a seminar. The teachers were going to make sure that they did not do any talking and all the children had to talk. We had a lot of fun that day.  When we made a statement we got to have a lolly from the lolly plate in front of us. It was very interesting sharing our ideas from our research.

The MIT.

On Friday the 7th of march the ambassadors went to the MIT and we presented in a room with lots of pretty ladies. There were 16  ladies and they were very nice. at he end we got to have some water and lollies from the goody bags they gave us. In the bag there was sherbet wrapped in licorice. There were two Fredos and one lollipop. there was also a big container with lots of Mini M'n'Ms. I really like being an ambassador.

Cricket Snack

Walt: Write a Narrative using interesting Vocab

Have you ever eaten real dead crickets before? Because we ate some at school, I think Mrs Stickland might have gone crazy. Today was not a normal Thursday. Today was a day I would never forget the taste of the healthy protein snack.

When i saw other people eating crickets I felt like they we're ok at first, and then the faces came. I saw Daisy could not even have some for 3 seconds. Naomi had watering eyes and Chastyti did not even want to eat it. My turn came and I had eaten the cricket and then I felt all revolting.

From now on I will never look at a cricket the same way. They’re disgusting. I hate to think that people eat bugs can you imagine everyone eating bugs. It Is never going to happen again i think crickets are bird food.

Task Description; For this task I made a copy of a presentation and put it in my writing folder. I did the experience before and yes they were real crickets. I posted it on my blog to a high standard with a Walt a task description and labels, and a title.

Task Description:

For this task we were all put into groups. The following groups were: the people who were looking at the perspective of the animals, the people who were looking through the eyes of children, the people who were looking through the eyes of the caregivers and there were the people who were looking through the eyes of the conservationists.

We were given an assignment to make a D.L.O (a digital learning object). Through the process of making this I learnt that the more we affect the waterways we affect ourselves. Health conditions that may result from drinking water laced with chemicals or toxic waste include organ failure, physical deformities and even death. That is why we must keep our waterways clean, both for us know but others in the future.

My Food Web

Walt: make connections across multiple texts.



Task Description: We were learning to understand a ecosystem and how a food web relates to the ecosystem. we were learning that if a ecosystem had no balance it would eventually fall apart.  The ecosystem is a very good way of keeping life balanced. they say that the earth is a very large ecosystem.

We had to understand the similarities and the differences in an ecosystem and we knew that every ecosystem has a food web. We decided to make our own ecosystems with our bugs and different things as well as just animals you have to involve plants as well. The food web shows us that the food chain only shows one example and one animal so their might be a chameleon and the chameleon eats the insect, but the spider also eats the insect do you understand what i mean.
