Water filters

This week and last week for inquiry LS2 was learning about water filters and how to make them, we needed to find out what water filters need to work and how we could put the filters together.  All of the groups used plastic bottles, sand, rocks and charcoal to try and dilute dirty water. Although none of the groups completely filtered the water, some of them managed to get lighter coloured water.

Rugby Pitch Sizes Maths Challenge

 

This week for maths another challenge was to answer questions on rugby pitch sizes. Some of the other questions were: What is the perimeter of a maximum size of rugby pitch? And, what is the area of a maximum size rugby pitch? After finishing all of the other questions, my group needed to create a DLO on how we found our answer.

Rugby advertisement

This week for writing, we were making Advertisement for Rugby. We had 2 choices, to either make a video or make a poster. We first planned to make a video, but as time sped up we chose to make a poster. We also chose to use a Rugby Ball as our advertisement. We tried to use some qualities that advertisement had so that it is really relatable. 

 

This week LS2 has been learning about the rugby world cup. We needed to answer maths questions like; What is the difference in seating capacity between the largest and smallest stadiums and, what the the total combined capacity of all the Japanese rugby world cup stadiums is. The question that my group made the DLO on is if all the stadia are sold out each time then what will be the total number of spectators for all the pool matches combined.

Exploring our national current events

News editors make decisions everyday about which current event stories they will run. We explored the different types of current events that are happening in NZ, thought about why the story made the news and plotted the location on a google map. We were trying to find different types of current events.

Explanation: Should NZ Ban Plastic straws

Plastic straws, Don’t you think there good because I do, Hi my name is Te pounamu and I think that we should keep the plastic straws because they are harmless they’re only harmful if your lazy and can’t be bothered to get off your back sides and chuck them in the bin or just be smart and reuse them instead of littering. Just reuse them you lazy the new straws that they are making with bamboo, metal and paper are soggy and rusty. Why are we draining money that they could use for health and medical safety because it’s just another thing that we waste time and money instead of using it in a wise way. Plastic straws are polluting the world right but that’s only because we all know we litter because we can’t be bothered.

Why would you want to ban a little piece of plastic just because lazy people can't get up and put them in the bin or even reuse them. Plastic straws, Why are they so harmful they don’t anything to harm us it’s us making it harmful because we just can’t get up and go to the bin
