WW1 Questions

Today we got to do a challenge about WW1 for Inquiry. I created this DLO with Magenta. We Wrote two questions and then gave our answers with proof as well. The reason why we choose these questions is because we thought these questions were very interesting. What I really like about doing this challenge is how we got to learn more about WW1 and learn the story behind WW1.

Sky tower - Trip

This morning LS2 went on a outing to the Auckland sky tower. We had a great time, the thing I didn't like the most was the glass floors in the elevator and the glass floor at the top. This was my second time going to the sky tower and I think the second time I went was better than the first. We had helpers that supervised us and they were Mr Wong, Mr Dobson, Miss Linda, Ms Kirkpatrick and Mrs Anderson. We had been sponsored by a man named Douglas Bates, that I would like to thank him for giving us this opportunity. 

Why sleep is so important?

We found the work that we gathered interesting because they were things we never knew before and things that can sometimes happen when we sleep.

Scale drawing - Enlargement

This week was maths week. For maths our focus was on scale drawing enlargements. Enlargement is when something starts of small and you make in bigger but it turns out looking the same or similar. Our Ratio was 1:2 and our scale factor was 2. This was my second time doing scale drawing in LS2. The last scale drawing I drew, a kitten. The best part of this scale drawing was doing the head. The hardest thing I did was the body because it took a while to do. Next time I will draw something that's more detailed.
