Man Made and Natural causes of Airpollution

This is Maara, Mary and I's presentation that we(Maara) presented in our school hall for our inquiry presentations. We had switched our presentations because we didn't have enough time to finish our other project so we improvised and came up with this!. To support our presentation we also created a Kahoot quiz to test the children's knowledge on Air Pollution.  Enjoy our presentation.

Media team photographers for Te Oro Presentations

On Friday, 5 members from our school media team and I were assigned an important job at Te oro when we have the Inquiry Presentations with all the Manaikalani schools. 6 students from our school and 6 students from St Pius are going to go to the Presentations as Manaikalani's Te oro media team or as I like to say Photographers. At Te oro we have to take photos of the projects/presentations, the students presenting, the school performances, art displayed in the Te oro center and more photos of the schools attending Te oro. I am very excited to be taking on this important role and getting to interact with other students as well. We have also been given a task sheet for the types of photos Fiona Grant wants us to take.

Inquiry Project presentations

For the past 2 weeks or so, my inquiry group have been working on our Inquiry presentations which we will be presenting at school and hopefully at Te Oro too. Our presentation is about Air pollution, the natural causes and man made causes of Air pollution. I have done my research and I have found several data on this.

Maara, Mary and I are working on the bigger part of our presentation, which is making our models. Lost?, we are making a medium sized project models with everything that causes Air pollution. We have started on making a few of our models including our volcanoes and factories. In our model, we will have some hand on activities, we are going to make our mini volcanoes explode and we will demonstrate wind erosion. We have so much work to do and we are hoping we are gonna finish our project by Thursday. Here are a few photos of what we have accomplished with our models.

 

Inquiry Learning Presentation

Today Glenbrae School had a inquiry roadshow. This when all the classes share what they have learned during the term. We share our learning by creating presentations, posters, diagrams and hand-on activities. I enjoyed sharing the work my group and I made, we created a poster with facts about WWI and WWII weapons. The best presentation was the presentation from Room 10 that made slime, as I touched the slime there were small laundry powder bits stuck on my hand because that was what they used to make the slime smell nice. I also saw presentations about science week, presentations about ANZAC day, Abel Tasman, Semaphore signaling and MOTAT.

          Here is my groups Venn Diagram, that we presented along with our poster.(Click to enlarge photos)
