WALT: critically respond.

Describing:

This painting relates to Marilyn Monroe. The artist has used a variety of colours. This type of painting is Repetition.

Analysing:

The artist is expressing his mood with this drawing by painting 9 pictures of Marilyn Monroe. He might of been in love with her, or he might of chosen her as a good type of woman to draw, so that he could include a bit of detail.

Interpreting:

I think that the artist is trying to show that using repetition can be very effective.

Evaluating:

I think that using different colours but with the same picture gives it a great effect and that the people might like it with a yellow backround. I quite like it -Emily

I think that this painting really stands out. It gives me a warm colourful feeling inside. -Sumak

Wala: different types of poems.

Limericks

Limericks are humourous poems that have 5 ryhming lines.

The 1st, 2nd, and 5th line rhyme.

And the 3rd & 4th rhyme with each other.

For example:

There once was a cranky giraffe

Who hadn't laughed since he was a calf.

But one day a bunny

Said a story quite funny,

So he finally laughed a good laugh.

Walt: create a WallWisher to collect our learning.

In school, in Connected Curriculum, we have been learning about different regions in New Zealand.
My inquiry partners are Paige and Masina.
We have been studying the East Coast and the Stewart Island, and the most fun thing we have done so far is making a poster with New Zealand on it.
Then we added our 3 paragraphs we had written about the environment, tourism, and cliamte in our regions. We added colourful pictures to our writing.
Once we had finished that, we made a "Who wants to be a millionaire?" quiz about New Zealand.
It was all very fun, and we each learned something different.
I hope to be able to do something interesting for our next big question after the holidays!!

From,
Sumak!! =) :)

The Atmosphere

THE ATMOSPHERE
You need food, water, and the sun to survive, but the most important thing you need is a layer of gases that surrounds the earth. That is called the Atmosphere.
What is the Atmosphere made of?
The Atmosphere contains carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen, and many particles, like water and dust. All these ingredients are important because together, they are worth all of our lives.

How does the Atmosphere protect earth?

With special molecules like ozone, the dangerous radiation gets filtered out. The gases are the main ingredient that protects earth from the vacuum and radiation in space.
How does the Atmosphere affect climate?

The climate is a circulation of particles and gases. There are many climates across the world. One type of climate is based over the Pacific Ocean and another by the North Pole. The higher you go up a mountain, the more the temperature drops. Since the earth is always rotating, the temperature will never be too hot or too cold in the same place.

What would happen if there was no Atmosphere?
If there was no Atmosphere we would all be lifeless and dead. The sun gives off solar winds, which are streams of radiation. It is the density of our Atmosphere that keeps us alive.

So we are all very lucky that the Atmosphere is here to protect us, because we would be lifeless if it were not protecting earth.

WALT: Follow the enquiry cycle.

This graph shows me that girls like netball, hockey and skiing more than boys who like football and rugby much more than the girls. In the end football is the most popular sport overall.
