Changing Matter

Hi everyone! Did you know there is actually a 4th element in matter? That is plasma.  Another thing I learnt is that in all matter there is space and mass. One last thing I learnt is that matter is literally everything. We are even made of matter.

We have been learning about changing matter in reading and inquiry. I am going to show you how I did it. First I went to my class’s home page. Next I clicked on reading and I clicked on the task I needed to do. After that I made a copy and named it, and answered the questions.  I went onto epic and read the book called “Changing Matter”.

After I read it I did the quiz. I went back to my Changing Matter slides and wrote my score on the quiz down.  Next I moved onto the next slide and proceeded to use the words from the “word bank” to answer the questions.

I moved onto the next slide and did it again with different questions and words in the “word bank”.  After that I linked my DLO and did an animation about changing matter. I enjoyed making my DLO.

 I enjoyed doing the DLO.

I did well at doing it fast.

Matariki – Waita

This week we have been preparing for the Matariki festival.  In class Miss Tele’a showed us all the different stars, and let us decide which task we would do.  I decided to do the marine biologist task that relates to the star Waita.  Waita is connected to the saltwater oceans and seas and its inhabitants.  I chose the marine biologist task because I have a lot of knowledge and interest in this area.  Did you know we have only explored 10% of the ocean?. I enjoyed searching up the many wonders in the sea. I did good at doing it pretty fast. I need to improve on remembering the name of the horseshoe crab.

Slide 2 is like a contents slide, if you click on the names of the sea creatures, you will go to a slide that explains that sea creature.
