For this task I made a song using Chrome Music Lab. We had 20 activities and we had to do 2 for our blogs for us to finish, They were very fun activities to do. The way I created this song is by placing musical tiles and making it into a song. My head has chosen me to make a song that has a beautiful flute it.
LI: To discuss the impact of volcanoes on the environment and human communities.
Our challenge was to research the impact of a specific volcanic eruption in Aotearoa. We had the choose bewtween Mt Tarawera or Whakaari.
We found out that Whakaari or white island is a stratovolcano or a composite cone volcano. Located in in the Bay of Plenty, off to the coast of the North Island of New Zealand by 30 miles. Whakaari last erupted in December 9th, 2019 this eruption was very fatal as many lives were taken and many people injured. Whakaari is known to be on of the most active volcano in New Zealand meaning it can erupt again anytime in the future.
I found this task very fun because I got to learn about other volcanoes
LI: To Reasech about Volcanos and The Four Types Of Volcanos.
Volcanos are big mountains made of fire called volcanoes. Explain how they can erupt and make hot lava come out. They are special mountains that can sometimes cause trees, animals, and people to move away so they are safe. Volcanoes are big mountains that can explode and make lava flow.
Here Is onw of the types of volcanos.
Sheld Volcano: A shield volcano is a tall mountain made of melted rock that flows out slowly and spreads out flat like a shield. It looks like a big, gently sloping hill.
This term we had a challenge to make a animation of how a volcano erupts, if you are wondering what a volcano is, is that it is a landform or a vent of the earths crust. The feature that the volcano has is the Crater, Main vent, Secondary vent and the Magma chamber where it stores all the lava and magma. How it explodes is that there are these objects under the volcano which makes it erupt and they are called tectonic plates. They first collide together and pressure builds up and then soon reaches the crater and explodes some of the lava comes out of the secondary vents which makes it go everywhere with dioxides going up into the air which makes the air not very good to breathe in.
For Literacy we have been using our Inquiry knowledge to help us write questions that we might have asked Reverend Samuel Marsden had we had the chance to meet him and talk to him. This was a fun activity because we took on the roles of Samuel Marsden and the Time Traveller’s Podcast team. It was like we experienced actually meeting him.
We learned that when you are recording a podcast expression is everything! It makes what we have to say more engaging.
LI: To understand the concept of visual storytelling
These Images show how our Tamaki awa hiko went in time order (ascending order), we needed to gather images and place it in time sequence. During our Tamaki awa hikoi we talked about how Smauel Marsden could of Felt or what he could see sailing down the tamaki river.
LI: To write a poem that describes a moment in time
At camp we had lots of challenge activities to try. Our challenge in with our poem was to chose our words carefully so that we painted a clear picture of what we were describing in the mind of our readers. Donyal and I have described what it was like to shoot a bow and arrow. We chose this challenge because I wanted to experience how it felt to shoot a bow and arrow.
LI: To let others know who I am so they can make connections to me and my place in the world.
Our challenge today was to write and record our pepeha to introduce ourselves. I found this a bit fun and challenging because we had to read our pepeha in morai and some of us strugle to say words in moari. Pepeha, Writing
LI: To use our smart searching skills
One of our challenegs at camp was to walk the Cossey- Massey track at Hunua. Before we entered the bush we had to make sure our shoes were disinfected. This DLO tells why we needed to do this and why we need to help prevent the spread of Kauri Dieback.
I think this is an important message to share because if you go on a walk and you see one of these trees you should be really careful.
LI: To understand that everyone has a role to play when we are working in groups
In LS2 we learn best when we learn with and from ecah other
What your responsibility as a group member is
How working in a group helped you understand more about the kuaka
Why talking to others about your learning is important
Something I enjoyed was we talked alot and we caloaberated.
