Is there life in space?

Is there life in space? by Ella.

Today we had to make a poster or a slide to write what we think about 'is there life in space?' I worked individually and created my poster on Canva. We had to research more about space and what NASA had found out. I liked this task because I like researching about space. 

Do you think there is life in space?

Saturn and Neptune

\

Today we had to make a presentation about two planets of our choosing. We all chose Saturn and Neptune. On the first slide we wrote facts about Saturn. The most interesting facts I found was that Saturn had 53 recorder moons. I didn't realise a planet could have that many moons. Next up was Neptune. The interesting fact in my opinion, about Neptune was that Neptune has 16 hours in a day and Neptune has six faint rings.

My favourite part about creating this was finding out facts for Saturn.

What was your favourite fact? What's your favourite planet?

Galileo Galilei

Galileo Galilei by Ella, Arie, and Eva.
WALT: create a summary of Galiloe Galilei.

Today we had to create a poster about a summary about Galileo Galilei. He created the first telescope. He discovered how the moon wasn't smooth; it was rocky. My favourite part in making this was adding the space images and reading about Galileo Galilei's story because it was interesting and I like reading stuff about space.

What do you think about space? Would you support Galileo Galilei?

Telescope Drawing - Digital

Today our class had to design a telescope. I was in a group with Kylah, Arie and Eva. We had two examples of a telescope; the one on the left is traced by a normal image. We used the curved tool. The one on the right was made from shapes. We designed these on Google Draw. 

Have you made a telescope? If so, what materials did you use.  

Summary and Story Board

Summary: 

Today we read the graphic novel called 'Something Alive' by Jem Yoshioka.  A young girl, the main character, was born in New Zealand as were both her parents. However, her grandmother travelled from Japan to New Zealand. 

The girl describes her features as ambiguous because of her accent that blends in with the voices around her. She rarely gets addressed with the question: "No, where are you really from?" Her father has no choice. He has his fathers Japanese face features. 

But she still feels there's a part of her people seem to misunderstand. They want to dress her up in what they think she should be/do, stereotypical. She describes the way she feels as a badly translated Haiku. Means something in Japanese but something different in English. However, she feels lost in both places. 

People like to tell her things about Japan. She feels frustrated when they do because she would already know. But when people ask her things about Japan, it's like a reminder she doesn't know so much and it makes her feel hurt. 

She often feels as if her blood makes her less somehow. She explains that not what heritage is about. She can trace her lineage back thousands of years, back to a shrine of bamboo her grandmother once called home. 

Now her grandmother calls New Zealand home. The girl always tells her grandmother about the progress she is making learning about the Japanese culture. When the girl feels lost, she has her family. And her grandmother.
