Thinglink about " The deep dark wood "

Last week we did a investigation on national library books, so today we did some more investigations on different books. I chose " The deep dark woods." We answered the same questions that we had last time. I thought this time was much more easier. Check out my thinglink! Please leave a helpful comment!

Thinglink about " Jack an the baked beanstalk!"

Today Room 7 did an investigation on some national library books. I chose to read " Jack and the baked beanstalk." I really enjoyed this book because it was different to the normal Jack and the beanstalk.  I did a thinglink about this book. Here mine! I hope you guys like it. Feel free to leave a helpful comment.

Today James can into room 7 and taught us how to use google maps. We all had to put the place that we were born in in the maps. I saw lots of students born in very far places, like in Malaysia, but there was tons of people born in New Zealand /Auckland. Here is the map that the senior syndicate did! feel free to leave a helpful comment.

  

Questions

How far have some students Travelled in their lifetime to reach WPS?

For example, Khatizah Has travelled all the way from Malaysia to New Zealand, and that took over 9000 km! Most people were born in Auckland so they didn't travel far.

Why do people make the choice to move to different countries?

People moved to different countries for reasons like  jobs, money, war, different life..( etc ) and my family came from China and came to New Zealand because we wanted to have a different life. 

Is this a trend in NZ society? What does what does the media tell us? 

The media says that there are a lot of immigrants coming to Auckland, but I don't think there are much people coming to the different parts of New Zealand.

Here is a video about a "The Lie". This video made me think why people be racist, and people should NEVER be judged the way the were born. I hope people can watch this video and make a difference.

We had to come up with questions to ask people what they would do if they were getting trolled. Here's my scenario! Feel free to leave a helpful comment.

The brain box!

On Monday Rooms 7, 8  and 9 went into the hall and grouped up in threes to make something called a circuit. Each group got a circuit set called a brain box kit, and that is a box that has all of the materials to make a circuit. We managed to at least make 2 different circuits. The first one we made was a fan.When we made the fan we forgot a piece so the whole circuit didn't work. So when building a circuit make sure you remember all the pieces. We had so much fun making them and it was such an great experience. Here is a example of what it looks like...

cyber smart foot print

1. wwtpyingclubcom, because I wanted learn to type so much quicker to get my work on time in class.
2. If I took it everyday, I would of done these activity's more often.
3. It's because I used google quite often so when I go on a game on google, google will pop up at the top most of the times.
