Organizing and Researching

 LI: To use our smart searching skills to expand our knowledge of Ancient Greek Mythology.

 

Today David shared the next reading challenge with us. It is all about the Greek gods and helps us to practise the skills we have been learning in our reading lessons with our teachers. David created this task as part of his CARE award challenges. In this smart searching activity, we used our comprehension and research skills to learn about Greek Mythology vocabulary and identify Greek places on the map. I found this activity interesting because I learnt about different places, people and more. The word/place I found most interesting was Sarpata because I learnt facts about it, like boys were encourraged to steal food and Sarpatan men were required to stay fit and ready to fight until the age of 60.

Operation Christmas Drop

 LI: To write a summary of the story behind the Operation Christmas Drop in your own words.

For the last 68 years the men and women of the US air force who are based at Andersen Air force Base in Guam have been using a pilot training drill to drop much needed supplies to the people who live on the 50 remote islands that surround Guam. Today in LS2 we have been researching the Operation Christmas Drop. It is a tradition that started in 1952, with the help of many people donating money and volunteering to help wrap the presents to send to Guam , the air force Men & Women have been going around to 50 different islands and countries to drop off supplies in large crates that land with a parachute. It started off as an training exercise for the air force men & women to practise taking food supplies to there troops but then it began to be the longest US civil defence in the world. Something I have learnt and found interesting is that when they make the presents is that they use the same size boxes for all the presents. Doing this was fun and cool to learn what the US Air force is doing for Islands that are unfortunate to get things that we have and how the community is helping with this Operation. 

Flood Information

 L.I: To make a DLO about information for when there is a flood.

I made this slide show with my buddy and in this slide show it tells you what to do when there is a flood. A flood is when one whole destination gets covered up with water. In a flood you can swim or drive somewhere safe but you should never walk in the flood and the reason why you should never walk in a flood is because if the flood has fast moving water it can knock you over and it can cause injuries, you could drown or it could lead you to death. This DLO was made to keep people safe and healthy.

How to stay safe from a Flood

L.I: To create a DLO about how to stay safe from a flood.

In this DLO it talks about how to stay safe in a flood. A flood is when water covers the whole outside of a place. In my DLO I had to write steps of how to keep safe when you are caught up in a flood. I wrote how to say safe and I drew about it too. My favourite part of creating this DLO was that I learnt new facts about the flood and the challenging part was that I kept having to start again when I was tracing.

Natural Disaster Research / Flood

 L.I: To research about a natural disaster "Floods".

For this task, Liletina and I worked together and found information about a Natural Disaster, The Natural Disaster we picked was a Flood, I really liked reading information about the floods because some of the information were important for safety. I really liked working with my buddy because we shared our Ideas and found out interesting facts and information.

Scientist research: Biology "Charles Darwin"

 L.I: To create a DLO of a Biology Scientist

In this DLO it shows you about a biology scientist Charles Darwin. I had to find out information about him and I had to put it in the my own words. I wrote some facts about who Charles Darwin is and I wrote some information as well. The challenging part about creating this DLO was that it was hard to believe that Charles Darwin had 10 children and the most fun part about creating this DLO was that I found out a lot of interesting information about Charles Darwin.

Scientist Research: Chemistry "Marie Curie"

 L.I: To find out about a "Chemistry Scientist".

I and my buddy worked together to get this task done. I really liked sharing my ideas and telling my buddy what I know about Marie Curie. We wrote interesting facts and wrote information about Marie Curie. We explained who she is,The most interesting fact I learned was that she was the first woman to win the noble prize.

Physics DLO (Albert Einstein)

 L.I: To create a DLO about a Physics Scientist from the past.

For this task, My group worked together to find the information about Albert Einstein, My group decided  to do Albert Einstein, We used our searching skills to find facts that you may not know about him , We also used our knowledge to write information about him. I really enjoyed working with my group because we shared our ideas and what we think we should put in our DLO.
