Jesus' birth

This week we had the task of creating a piece of art around the nativity scene and so in this presentation I have told the whole story behind Jesus' birth. I think I did pretty well telling the story but next time could go more in depth.

How do Catholics celebrate Christmas?

W.A.L.T..... Describe what Advent means to Catholics and how we celebrate it.

Using factors of factors

     

W.A.L.T.. Solving multiplication and division problems using factors of factors.

This week we learnt a new strategy to solve hard multiplication and division problems, I found this strategy very confusing at first but as I got used to it I found it quite easy.

Force and Motion keys

    The thinkers keys for Force and Motion.

I had fun doing these literacy keys and learning different things about force and motion and other subjects that go into force and motion.

What is the Jesse tree?

This prezi is all about the Jesse tree but summarised in my own words.

I think that I have done well but could do better in presenting it.

I have learnt a lot about the Jesse tree and it's very interesting learning about it's history. Myabe next time I could add more information.

W.A.L.T.......

Describe what gravity is and it's effects.

I think that I did okay in summarising in my own and describing what gravity is and it's effects on objects maybe next time I could do better on summarising.

My inquiry

This term we have been set a task to work on a certain subject as our inquiry. My subject was dance I do dance and i wished to know how it started and so I chose the subject so I could look further into it. I think I've learned quite a lot about dance and how it's started. Maybe next time I could think of more ways to research my answer and think of better in depth questions.

A Minute To Win It

W.A.L.T..... Describe force and motion

I think that my group has done well in describing the force in motion in our marble game that we have created I think next time we could be more creative in making this game and being more in depth in how we use force and motion.

Do we really know wolves?

W.A.L.T... Explain species reintroduction Improve our critical skills by reading multiple texts.

Transformation 4

W.A.L.T..... Describe transformations of shapes

This is the last transformation I think describing these four transformations was a pretty good challenge and also incorporating Te Reo into the DLO to describe it was good to learn.

Transformation 3

W.A.L.T..... Describe transformations of shapes

The last two weeks we had to work on transformations this is the third transformation.

Transformation 2

W.A.L.T Describe transformations of shapes

The last two weeks we had to work on different transformations this is the second translation.

Why recycle?

W.A.L.T...... to identify reasons why we recycle.

In the lesson we did we were told to make a presentation as to why we recycle and the most difficult part was probably hyperlinking and making sure every link worked.

Quadrilaterals what are they?

W.A.L.T..... Identify what quadrilaterals are 

Plastic bottles

Planning

Ever wonder what happens to plastic bottles when they’re recycled?

People are being more creative as to how they recycle bottles. Such as factory workers in China who now make the best clothing that is made with bottles which is the fabric polyester, here is the process.

It starts off when the bottles are drained because we may leave extra liquid inside which can affect the quality of the plastic. After that it then gets shredded and wrapped in cellophane so that it can get shipped to China.

When the shredded bottles have arrived, they’re then separated into colour groups. Clear or white bottles are very important in this case as they make white clothing or clothing that can be dyed. From then on stickers are separated and put into to a bathe, workers have to be really careful as corrosive caustic soda affects the skin but helps when removing labels.

The shredded bottles are then put into a barrel as it rotates for about 10 hours so that the plastic dries out. Workers have to catch the the shredded bottles as they fall out of the rotating barrel. Once that is done they then are put into a rotating screw that melts the plastic turning it into thread , then the plastic goes through a metal tube as it is then caught by the workers as it comes out.

These threads are then put into a lone which catches thousands of threads which tears them apart so it can stretch meanwhile, another lone gently merges them together by making tiny loops which makes it all into one piece of fabric. It holds it all together as bonded fibre strengthens all the material so that it can be made into all sorts of things. You probably think this is where it ends but no it doesn’t, This piece of fabric then goes through another machine which tear all those tiny loops made which makes the fabric more comfortable when worn.

Once this fabric is made it is then sent off to designers who design clothes for us to wear these clothes then get put up for sale for us to buy. So it’s pretty cool how people come up with so many different ways to recycle bottles now they can turn it into polyester and make all sort of things such as clothing and maybe even furniture. You never know how many more things can get recycled and turned into new things for us to use.
