Summer Learning Journey - Week 1 Day 5 Activity 3: Going, going....gone

Activity 3: Going, going….gone [10 points]

Over the years, scientists have made some surprising discoveries. One of these discoveries is that we have entire cities (e.g. Jakarta, Indonesia and Venice, Italy) that are slowly sinking into the ocean. Scientists believe that one day, the cities will disappear completely under the water. Yikes!

Some of the residents (people living in the cities) have taken pictures of their neighborhoods and written stories about their lives in order to make a record of what ‘life was like’ in their city before it disappeared.

Let’s imagine that New Zealand was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean next week (Eek!). Before it sinks you are asked to write a blog post telling people what life was like in New Zealand in 2018.

On your blog, post a description of life in New Zealand in 2018. Please remember that the people who read your post will have never been to New Zealand or even seen a picture so it is your job to ‘paint a picture’ of New Zealand using your words. You can also post pictures if you wish. Be sure to fully attribute the pictures.

This year has been a good year, by next week New Zealand is going to sink. It's so sad to see this beautiful country leave the shore. New Zealand had a population over 4.794 million people. The most beautiful place in New Zealand is The city where there are buildings, lights and especially the sky tower. There are many friendly people here, and also support people. Families love going to the parks to entertain themselves and spend more time together. Many cultures live in this wonderful country such as Cook Island, Tongan, Samoan and much more but this country was ruled by Maori and New Zealanders mostly known as the kiwis. A lot of us will always except each other for who we are after all we are being our selves are we? :)

Today's Digital Immersion Lesson

Today's Digital Immersion Lesson

Today we had a learning session with Gary. Last week Gary taught us a new language, a language that only robots and computers all over the world can understand. This language is called Binary Language. We also learnt how to program a robot to move to one place to another.

This week we programed the robots to go to someone else's group and send them a message. The messages we had to use had to be appropriate. After a while of programing the robots we then used a different app to control the robot in order to do what you want it to do. The only boring part of it was not being able to make it send messages to other people. What we could do was make it spin in circles, moving it around and turning the flashlight off and on.

Last Week Of Ruapotaka

From this week it'll be my last week of Ruapotaka. Just before the holidays I will be moving to a new house which means that I am able to move schools, but luckily I will be moving schools after the school holidays.

It's really sad that I have to leave but I am truly thankful to all those who have respected me. I knew that I would never be able to succeed without all the teachers support and help.

But being without my friends honestly hurts. I have true friends that remind me that they will always be there for me no matter what, but I wouldn't be so useless if it weren't for every single one of them.

Thanks to everyone that helped me throughout the past few years when I was struggling.  

Matarki

For our inquiry topic we are writing about Matariki. I was working with Izabella and Vika. We worked on this together, we talked to each other about what our WALT was relating to. I studied a big quantity amount about Matariki. I was really interested while writing this slide show.
