Activity 2: Impossible Burgers

For this activity it is your job to read the nutritional facts about these burgers and to work out the difference between the two burgers in the following areas:

On your blog, share your results. You can use the following three sentences as a guide.

1. The new impossible burger has 50% less calories than the original impossible burger.  
2. The new impossible burger has 4% less fat than the original impossible burger.  
3. The new impossible burger has 9% less sodium than the original impossible burger.  

These are the 3 fact that I chose to write about the impossible burger. I find them interesting because I thought that they were all made of meat. I liked this activity because it included meat which I like and because I got to learn about different ingredients in a burger (meat).

For this activity, please watch this short introductory video from The Water Project.

On your blog, share what you have learned about The Water Project with us. What is the goal of the organisation? Where do they work? What have they achieved?

For the first activity of the third day I needed to research and write about the water project which is an African organisation that's trying to give young girls in Africa a proper education. After watching the video on the organisation I found out that millions of people go without clean water every day, and many people die to water borne illnesses. 

Day 2 Activity 1: Faster than a speeding bullet

This week for the summer learning journey teaser week for Activity 1 day 2, we were making four similes. The similes that I made were: Cristiano Ronaldo is fast as a cheetah, I am small as a mouse, I am lazy as a koala and Arnold Schwarzenegger Is strong as a gorilla.        

Blog Post Analysis

Today we were comparing our blog analysis that we made in the beginning of the year to one we made now. My goal was to reach 700 hundred blog post by the end of this year. I didn't reach my goal but I got a good amount of blog post done. The total of blog post that I got altogether was 598. I think I could've done better if I didn't mess around.     

Market Day Evaluation

Last week on Friday it was marketing day each class form the school made a variety of items, our class made rainbow crayon. It was good idea because people was buying it and it was on a low price. Also it was easy to make because we don't need to buy any crayon but instead our class went to each other room and ask them for their broken crayons. I would like to change the stand so that it could be on the court so that we don't need to run around to places. We got a gross profit of $96.00 dollar but it cost us $8.00 dollar and our net profit is $88.00 dollar.   

Romeo and Juliet

This week for reading and writing we were learning about Romeo and Juliet. We were making a summary after watching a video. After the summary we made a DLO about a animation. The animation that we were doing was a Stick man animation. The animation was about Romeo fighting Tybalt.

Transformation

Today we were learning about the 4 types of transformation. After that we made a DLO about the transformations. We did this to understand what the 4 types of transformation are. The transformation that we were learning was rotation, enlargement, reflection and translation.  

Food Print

Yesterday Michal Garvey from foodprint talked to us about how she started to make her own businesses. She talked to us about how waste was being a problem and how she stared to plan her own businesses. It took around 2 years of planning and now it been 6 months when it opened. She did this because so much food is being wasted. Like 20 million loaves of bread has been wasted in NZ a year and imagine how much money it will cost for the resources and transport.

Manaiakalani film festival 2019

Yesterday was the 12th manaiakalani film festival. On our way to the bus we partnered up with a little student from room 6 or 7. My partner was Khit he was in room 7, when we got to the cinema we dropped off our partner to their seat. After we dropped our partner off we went to the back seats to watch the movies. The movie that I like was how to learn because it was funny and fun to watch. After the film festival was done we grabbed the same partner and got onto the bus.               

A History of Protest in New Zealand

This week in reading, our group was reading a book about some of the biggest protest in New Zealand's. The book that we were reading was called Stand Up A History of Protest in New Zealand. As we were doing reciprocal reading, we made a list of vocabulary, summary, predictions and questions. Then we made a literacy weaving strip and using two words each from the book. I chose bread and soldiers because back then instead of fighting the soldiers they would hang out bread. Choosing my second option wasn't hard, I chose soldiers because they were taking down the house to make new roads

Writing Explanation

Why would I be an asset to my new school?

When I go to my new school I am going to take everything that I learnt here and take it with me on my journey. For example I am going to take all the maths strategies that I learnt here with me so I use them when I am stuck on a hard question.

I would also take my sportsmanship and teamwork with me when I join a sport team in my new school. I will be a team player and cheer them on, even if I’m not on the field or court. I would also do my best, train hard, try not to let my team down. If we lose I won’t get angry but I will wish the other team good luck.

I would get involved with the learning and sharing ideas if I am in a group. I will listen to what people have to say about the work that we are doing, and if someone is not involved get them involved with the learning. I am also going to join in things that I don’t like and just deal with it.

I am also going to take my respect, kindness and empathy with me. That means I am going to be kind to other people, show respect by listening to the teacher and do as I am told. When someone is upset I will look after them and listen to what they have to say or what is happening.

When I start my next school I am going to wake up earlier everyday and look smart. I will continue to come to school on time and turn on my brain on so I get ready for school work. I am going to meet new friends and try not to be shy to say hello to people I don’t know. I will try my best and will work hard in all my subjects. I am really excited and can’t wait to start my new learning journey.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today for Writing I wrote a explanation about why would I be an asset to my new school. In my explanation it talked about what I am bring with me when I go to a new school. I talked about the strategies that I would use if a am stuck. I also talked about showing sportsmanship, teamwork, respect, kindness and empathy.       

Writing Explanation

Don’t Judge someone

Respect…. Kindness…. Empathy, they are the three most important values that you need to show. Don’t judge someone by it cover, it is because something bad might happen to them like losing their job. If you show the three words you could make their day. It is because they might need a friend to talk to and share their feelings.

Respect: you should always show respect when you see someone on the street instead of disrespect them like this for example ( look at you why do you need the money you problem going to buy some drugs but instead he probably need the money to buy food for his family). You should ask what's wrong first instead of disrespecting someone.

Kindness: some people don't show kindness it is because they judge people that are homeless to quickly. This is why they don’t give money to them. In a video that I watched was an experiment if people will give a rich guy money for baby food or the homeless guy to buy baby food for his baby. Most people give money to the rich guy it is because their are probably think that the poor guy is lying and don’t need the money.

Empathy: I should say that this word is the most important word, you know why let me tell you. Imagine you are on the street and I read you sign and I say it not true you are lying and I walk away (The sign was you ask for money). How would you feel if this happens to you. The right thing you need to do is ask what's wrong and also share each others feel about what happened to him in the past. You should also help him if he needs money and one important thing you should do, it is to make him have a happy day.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This week for writing I were writing an explanation about using respect, kindness and empathy towards other people. In my explanation I talked about don't judge them if there are poor and also we should away talk to them how they feeling and share feeling.       

Current Events

This week for reading Alex, Joseph, Jack, Julian and I worked together to fill out a google map with international events. We needed to search through different news websites to find stories that fit the current event criteria. Our story for oddity is twin pandas being born in Belgium and for impact, bush fires.

Explanation: Should NZ ban plastic?

65,000 thousand plastic straws have been collected for over 10 years in New Zealand beaches. Did you also know that there about 437 million - 8.3 billion plastic straws in the Ocean. Hi my name is Aung Naing and I think that we should ban plastic straws. Plastic straws are a harm to sea creatures. Its unusual why people throw away plastic straws.

My reason for talking about this is because there are so many plastic straws that are made every day. I feel like we need to change our actions because there are a lot of plastic straws that have been thrown on the ground every single day. After you finish throwing your plastic straw on the ground it could go out to sea and letting the sea turtle eating it or getting it stuck up their nose.

We should remove plastic straws and add paper straws or use other material instead of plastic. It is because paper straw can dissolve but plastic straw are harder to dissolve or break down, it is because it takes 500 year to break down. There are different materials we can use like metal, you can carry it with you and you can keep reusing it, but plastic straws are not that useful, it is because it can bend easily.

Did you know that there are about 500 million plastic straws are used every single day. Wow! I think that there are a lot of plastic straws that are used every day. Well some shops are to be blamed, Mc Donald, Burger King and KFC sell free Plastic Straws.

This is why I would not suck, it is because it is harming the marine animals, out of curiosity, have you ever seen people taking a plastic straw out of a sea turtle nose before.

Multiplication Game

This week LS2 were making a maths game for our classmates to get better at there math knowledge. my maths game was all about multiplication, this was a fun task because when someone plays my game I feel good about it because it is showing my learning to the person who is playing the game, and for them to learn more about multiplication.

Literary Devices

Here Is the Link To my DLO. This week we were learning about poetry for writing and Mrs Anderson challenged us to make a google doc and try to turn it to a DLO using a google doc so that me we can't go on any tabs to look for photo so we need to look for photo on the google doc on explore. The hard thing was looking photo on google doc explore and it was also challenging because we can't go on any tabs.   

Leap Of Faith - Narrative

Leap Of Faith

The sun had setted and then out came the moon, it shines over me and my friends. All around us it began to get darker and darker as I imagined in my mind what it would be like to be enjoying the night flying. Tonight I was going to fly for the first time, I felt very nervous. I was afraid to take my leap of faith.

A strong gust of wind blew behind me, then I started to shake a lot. That's when I told myself that I was scared to fly for the first time. I felt more nervous than before. I just wanted to get rid of this feeling, so I put one leg up and then a gust of wind blew at me slowly. My talons were shaking and that's when I was starting to freak out. I knew I had to be brave so I told myself that I can do it. I held my breath and leapt off the edge of the branch, and dived into the blank sky. “I did it I can fly now, I am not afraid to do this anymore”.

The wind picked me up, then I spread out my wings like an angel. I felt the icy air on my feathers, it reminded me that I needed to control my wings. So I started flapping them to get the icy air off my feathers. I couldn't believe what I was doing, for the first time I started to control my wings to be able to fly. I was so amazed at what I did. So I set out looking for my favourite snack.

This term we have been learning how to write narratives. I have written a narrative called the Leap Of Faith. By doing this, it helped me put in more powerful words in my narrative. I really enjoyed this activity because it helped me improve my skills at writing narratives. Next time I want to make sure I add more information in my narrative.
