My Clouds in a Jar cloze task

 

 

This is my Cloze task on Clouds in a jar. I hope you learn something new!

Tivaevae Patterns

This is my Tivaevae Mat. 

I used two pieces of coloured sheets paper, a pencil, and a pair                                                                                                                                               

of scissors.

I am pleased with my Tivaevae Mat because it shows symmetry, rotation, and reflection.

I am not pleased with my Tivaevae Mat because some of my patterns are not the same size.

I found this task challenging because I had problems cutting out shapes which were not on the edge. Cutting out shapes from the middle was hard.  

I made my Tivaevae mat by making a square. Then I folded my paper, and drew the patterns. After this I cut out my patterns to make a Tivaevae mat.

My Watercare Recount

Hook

“Whoa!” Yesterday we had a special guest named Sarah from

Watercare. She taught us about the water cycle and the treatment

plant, while the rest of the school were playing because we had the

lesson during lunch time.

Orientation

I was so excited to learn about watercare and other things.

It took a few minutes for Sarah to set up. While she was setting up

we waited, until she sat down and Sarah said “Good afternoon” and

then we said “Good afternoon”. 

Now she started talking and asked the class the question, “What is

Watercares most important job?”. The answer was to take care of

water and also make it safe for animal life and human life to drink and

bathe in. So now for the real presentation of water and toilet history.

While we were learning, Sarah showed us a black and white photo of

Queen Street. It used to have a hotel and a river running through. The

picture showed workers and maids who took out chamber pots from t

he hotel which people got from under their beds. Chamber pots

were used to pee and poo in. You might be asking “Why did people

use these things and not toilets?”. The answer is because toilets

were very expensive back in the day and only the rich could be able

to afford them. That is why hotel workers would take out chamber

pots and just pour all the urine and poo into the river. It would then

get sent out to sea. This was not right, it would make the sea really

toxic and animal life would not be able to live anymore because it

was too dangerous for them. I wonder why chamber pots were cheap

even though toilets would be more useful back in the day neither than

killing animal life.

Now for the most exciting part experiments. So when Sarah told us it

was time for experiments the whole class was really excited. We had

to make mountains out of rocks. After we made the mountains we had

to place a see through plastic cover over and estimate how many

rivers there would be. Most people guessed three or four, but there

were a lot more. 

After the experiments Sarah taught us about drains in the road.

We learned that anything that goes into the drain will go straight

to a river, stream or to the Ocean. This is really bad because all the

chemicals e.g. paint would make it really hard for fish to hide from

predators, and they would also be hard to eat because the fish might

eat up the paint or starve to death.  The toilet and laundry water comes

out through pipes. The water inside the pipes  goes to the Watercare

treatment plant in Mangere which they go through a process that

Sarah talked to us about. When they get to the Treatment plant the

water has to get treated. They have to use superbugs that they use to

clean water. The superbugs will eat all the dirty waste, but not all of

it.  A little bit of water will be spilled out to make sure that the water 

is clean to go to the ocean. After that the superbugs are put in a

container with lots of lights to make their skin melt. They have to do t

his so that the superbugs germs will get off them. But sadly they will

die.  After this they have to check if the water is fully clean. When it

is clean it all goes to the ocean and the water cycle will repeat and

this process will never change.

Conclusion 

The lesson was really fun. I had so much fun learning about the water

cycle and doing the experiments. I am so happy that Sarah was able

to teach us about water and watercare.
