There And Back Again...

 

For our inquiry we had to make a slide presentation about someone from Australia travelling in New Zealand for about 2 weeks, since the borders are opening up. This means the people in New Zealand are allowed to fly to Aussie and the other way around. We had to make sure they visited the South and the North Island, and visit 10 cities or towns.

Shortcut Quiz

For Cyber smart we had to make a quiz on google slides for shortcuts, it can help people who like to do things faster or people who don't know much about them. I had fun making this and I hope it can help out a bit.

How many shortcuts do you know?

Camouflage: Snow Leopard


We had a reading task and for that we had to choose an animal that uses it's camouflage to hunt prey. I worked with Mia and we chose a snow leopard. We had to make a slide and research about them. We researched about their appearance and how they use their less distinctive markings and thick fur that look like the rocky terrain that they live in. We researched about their prey which mainly consist of  wild sheep, blue sheep, marmots, pikas and hares. And their predators which are mainly humans that illegally poach them, for their fur and wolves hunt for their cubs. And then we wrote a couple of facts about them.

Jamal and PJ's Trip to Titania

 Jamal had always wanted to go to space since he was 7, and 14 years later he was finally about to make his dreams become reality. He had finally finished preparing his spacecraft and he was taking his German Shepherd, PJ! Jamal was one of the NASA space researchers that were working on a project to find out if Titania was habitable. He then volunteered to go and find out since he already had his spacecraft ready so if somehow the earth turns out to be inhabitable they’d have another place to go to. He was then ready and all geared up and so was PJ, NASA made a space suit that was fit for PJ so that he could go to and not run out of oxygen. NASA tried to persuade Jamal to take one of their rocket ships because Jamals one was untested. But he denied their offer.

He then started to board his spacecraft and called to his hound, who trotted into the rocket.

He pushed a button and it initiated countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, BLAST OFF!


3 hours later…

He was suddenly so close to Titania, but then something went wrong… “CRASH!” They crashed onto the surface. He got himself and PJ out of there. Just as he watched the rocket ship blow up because of fire hazard stuff. “That was close wasn’t it PJ?” He wasn’t there. He had got that scared of the explosion that he ran off. “PJ! PJ! WHERE ARE YOU!” He started to lose hope. He looked at his oxygen levels. 42%! He needed to find his dog fast. He walked around until he saw a pile and heard something moving, something not human or a lost dog. It sounded like metal and wood. He ran to the pile and found PJ walking on the wood and metal. “WOOF! He looked happy to see him. Jamal had an idea.

“Ready PJ?” “WOOF!” They hopped in the cart and just like that they we're back on Earth but there was one problem.. “Where Are we?”




We had to make a narrative for a writing competition that NASA held. The story had to have characters that go to one of Uranus's moons there were 3 to choose from and I chose Titania, The story had to have an intro to the characters and the setting, there then had to problem and a dilemma which is a situation that has a difficult choice that had 2 or more possible alternatives. There then had to have a solution and an ending.

Decimals Quiz

 


For Maths we had to make a decimals quiz, but mainly just simple addition with decimals. Like for example whats 34.89 + 19.57? It would be 54.46. The things we needed on our quiz we needed 10 questions with a problem that includes decimals we could use all operations whether it be addition, subtraction, division or multiplication. We then needed to test it on someone and see how many they could get right.
