Summer learning journey : Origami Fish

Kia ora, today for literacy class I made an Origami Fish for the summer learning journey task! I enjoyed this task because I got to add some details on my fish. As you can see I added some hair to my beautiful fish. I also added a tounge and a bright pink hairclip. I named this fish “Filet-O-fish” because it just popped up in my mind. Anyways I hope you like it lol. Please feel free to leave a positive comment down below and don’t forget to check out my fish above!!

WANTED STONE FISH

Kia ora, today for literacy class, we had to create a poster of a wanted stone fish. This task was nice and simple and I enjoyed it. I liked sitting with my friends and completing my work. My favourite part about this task was searching for stone fishes and seeing many! I didn’t know what a stone fish was until today if im being honest.

Hopefully you like my poster! Feel free to leave a positive comment if you would like!

What is sound and how do we hear it?

Fakalofa Lahi Atu! My name is Neomi and I am a year 8 student that attends Pt England School. Today I will be explaining to you what sound is and how we hear it. I will also be giving you some facts about sound!

First of all, let’s see what sound is! Sound is basically everywhere you go. The larger the vibration the louder the sound, sounds can be louder or softer, higher or lower. Our ears can hear differences in sounds and we can make sound by actions such as striking, blowing, plucking and scraping. Now that you know what sound is, I will now explain to you how we hear it.

Next, we are able to hear sound when an object vibrates that causes a movement in the air called a sound wave that travels to our ear canal, it then hits the eardrum that senses the sound and causes the three tiny bones known as Malleus, Incus, and Stapes.

Those three bones’ are responsible for amplifying it towards the Cochlea which is a shape of a snail’s shell yet the size of a pea?! 

Finally, here are some facts about sound! Did you know that your ears don’t stop hearing when you’re asleep, your brain just chooses to ignore the sound. Another fact about sound is that the loudest natural sound on earth is caused by an erupting volcano.And lastly, the number 1 cause of hearing loss is exposure to excessively loud sounds.

In conclusion, sound is everywhere and your ears are very unique to be a part of your body.  

Inquiry Movie.

Kia ora, the theme for the term is Karawhiua. For this theme, we had to learn a new skill. The skill that I tried to learn was throwing a dart at the bullseye. I liked doing this skill except for the fact that I didn’t have a dart board or darts. I will definitely try this again another time but please check out my video. Thank you.

Badge of Honour

Fakaalofa Lahi Atu, this week for literacy room 4 had to read a book that was called Badge of honour. We had to answer questions that Ms Lagitupu wrote from the book and I got 2 wrong. I enjoyed this task because it was fun and I would like to do it again.
