Exploring the setting - Novel - Under The Mountain

 

Hi everyone!

This is another novel study activity. You have to write the place and time the story was in. And some other questions that are at the very top of the picture.

I enjoyed this activity because it was easy when I looked at other peoples blogs because at first I had no clue what I had to do but I couldn't ask for help because these activities are homework so I just had to go look at other people in my class that are in my group blogs.

I hope you enjoyed :)

Exploring the Plot - Novel - Under the mountain

 

Kia ora, Hola everyone

This is another one of our novel study activities. This activity is when you have to write all the important parts of the story.

 I enjoyed this activity because it made me think of the important parts of the story.

 It was difficult for me to remember what happened in the story because I have started a new book so I am getting mixed up of what story is what.

Hope you enjoyed :)

Exploring the Theme - Novel - Under the mountain

 

Kia ora all!

This activity was one of my activities to do for our novel. You had to answer the two questions that are at the top of this picture.

I enjoyed this activity because it was easy and fun because it made me think about the book more, and how much time Maurice Gee (the author) spent on this story.

It was difficult to make the questions in our own words but it was easy to make the answer our own words because there wasn't even anything that we could copy.

I hope you enjoyed :)

Exploring the character - under the moutain - novel study

 

Kia Ora all. 

In term 3 Miss Farr (my teacher) said we had to read this novel called under the mountain by Maurice Gee. She gave us a list of things to do will we read or have finished this book. This activity is when you have to create pictures of the main characters, which are Rachel and Theo. Then write information about the main characters. 

I enjoyed this activity because I got to make a picture that looked like the main characters.

I thought getting information was hard because I forgot some information in the book so I had to find the right information about what I want to write.

I hope you enjoyed :)

Even though it is term 3 and the homework was for term two, I still want to do some homework because I like to learn. This post is about what you can use instead of plastic. What I liked about this activity (this activity I did at home) is that I got to learn some ways what to use instead of plastic. 
I hope you will enjoy :)

Recycling for Homework

Please don’t litter!!!

Why you should not litter: If you litter the rubbish can easily just go in the sea and kill sharks, turtles, whales and lots of other animals.

Did you know when you put something in the recycling bin some stuff can be turned into something else?

What can you recycle: You can recycle paper, metal and plastic bottles.

  The metal, paper and bottles get their own piles. Some metal goes to a special factory so it can get crushed and then squashed together from other recycling bins. Then chopped into little pieces. After that, those pieces are melted in a big hot oven and then poured into blocks. The blocks are then sent to other factories because the factories can make other things with the metal. Some metal that you throw away in the recycling bin they don’t go to the dump there become something new like a new metal can or a new roll of foil or even part of a bike and car.

Some old plastic milk jug can be turned into something different too. It is taking to a special factory where it makes the plastic get shredded to bits and melted into a really hot oven and makes little pellets. Factories take the pellets and make them into new things like clothing, carpet and lots more.
But the paper is a little bit different from plastic and metal. Some paper goes to a recycling centre so it can get mixed with other paper in lots of water. Then it gets all goopy so it is smashed together by two big rollers and the rollers turn the goop into big flat pieces. The pieces are then left to dry. After that, they’re then cut into sheets of paper so we can write on them or do art, all sort of things.

So ALWAYS recycle metal, plastic bottles and paper so our environment is BTB.

BTB stands for Better Than Before.

Environment homework.

My class has homework about the Environment because we are an Enviroschool. This slide is about recycling. It is very important to recycle because if you just leave your rubbish around the animals will die and you don't want that to happen do you because imagine that you are an animal that at rubbish and then died. This slide will tell some stuff you might have not known.

Compost for homework.

Please don’t litter!!!

Why you should not litter: If you letter the rubbish can easily just go into the sea and kill sharks,            turtles, whales and lots of other animals.
Did you know that you can put yucky old kitchen scrap foods can into the compost bin.
What is Compost: Compost is when you can grow flowers, fruit and vegetables.
How: Some decomposers turn the scrap food into compost. I know it does sound like a horrible job but they love it, And it is good they love it because we need the food. The food also does not come with plastic on it, so that means you are also not using plastic.
What can your compost bin be made out of: Your compost bin can be made out of wood, metal and plastic but I think you should not use the plastic. You want the compost bin to have holes so it does not smell and the bugs can get air to breathe like us humans.
