Hey Everyone! this week was the last ever-current events quiz for this year. If you're unsure of what the 2020 current vents quiz is it is a great school format of world current questions on the latest inquiry-based topics we have three options of an answer for the quiz for example A, B, C we pick one answer we think would be the correct statement and we telly up all of our variety of answers and mark our best. This week was a world review from every week we have had the previous question throughout the year and some very similar to all our other quizzes and answered w then picked one and explored everything we could about our topic. This week this one popped my eye as it was about heavy world pollution and will take decades to fix. One thing I had found difficult about this weekes topic was trying to understand some of the words in meaning the world oil spills and the all the variety of relateing to the problem with challenging words and trying to gather as much information as I possibly could overall it was an interesting topic to explore and have a read more about it !.

Great barrier reef will shock your mind !

Hey Everyone! This week we have been focusing on our current events and I decided to focus on the topic of the Great barrier reef. As through the year, I previously was looking at this ecosystem and found out so much more interesting information than I thought so I thought this topic would be a perfect choice. I found out that 50% of the great barrier reef has died over the years as it had a rapidly fast break then a slow 20 percent break in one year which still is an extreme change for the great barrier reef.  

One thing I felt difficult was trying to figure out the fractions of precentages on how much it took away from the great barrier reef. But I had an enjoyable time finding out more about the great barrier reef Read more to find out! 

 

NZEA Changes for School Credits

 

Hey Everyone! today we have done an end of week quiz and one of our tasks that relates to the quiz was researching one of the questions we were interested in. I chose Changes to NCEA that will be implemented for Auckland secondary students Due to the disruption of COVID - 19. What I found difficult while doing this was finding the real information about the credits as some websites said different things to others ao I had to gather up the most common answer and do more research on that. I really enjoyed making this research project as I find out so much more about NCEA levels and how much you actually need!

Hello and goodbye

Hey everyone! Today We had to make a recap and a reality image of what has changed from being at home relaxing and from being at school causing a mad rush. This was called a Hello and Goodbye Poem / Writing piece. This was super extravagant to make and While I was doing it I realized how much I had done during the 7 weeks at home. Being at home was great and all but I had and still do miss my friends and I am so grateful that we can come back to school now even though it has become a mad rush in my house. I hope you enjoy ready my poem as I had put a good amount of effort into it and It has some really great character so check it out! Thanks, everyone!  and also make sure to stay safe and wash your hands,

My orographic rain cycle

Facts and knolage about rain and the whole cycle

Hey everyone, Today we are going to be listing Our knowledge on rain and its cycle.

Now before we get started let's take a recap of what rain actually is? 

Now that's a big question. But we should all know that rain falls from the dark scary
clouds in the sky or from a beautiful sun shower from the nice white fluffy clouds.

But rains, not the only course that falls from the sky thongs such as hail, snow and sleet can as well.

I am sure we now have a big understanding of what rain so let's take a look
into the deep knowledge around the system of rain.

Rain can also occur to other planets of our solar system, not just earth itself.
But the rain on the other planets experiences different rain to us on earth.
For example, the rain on venus would be made of a word called sulfuric which means:
it contains sulphur acid or wood fires. 

The highest amount of rainfall that has ever been recorded in 1 - 2 days was
182.5 centimetres 71.9 inches in other words. This occurred during tropical cyclone Denise on
January 8, 1966. How crazy !?

And the highest ever rainfall in one year was 1000 inches, how massive is that.

Heavy rain can also course floods and some heavy rain that attracts

the sea and can also sometimes cause tsunamis.

Also going back to types of acid. Acid rain does have a
particular name and that is ( acid rain ) now caused by the release of sulphur
dioxide and nitrogen oxides that attracts the air. Into the land and earth.

The power of this acid can hurt and affect plants and animals.

Overall I think the whole rain cycle is amazing and very eye
pulling and I learnt today that acid rain can affect many different things.

The end, By Maya, Thanks
