Solar panels for Paroa School

 

Today Milla and I created a small map of Paroa school (Our school), then we added leaves which we used as solar panels. We added solar panels to most buildings in the school. We have been looking at energy for about 4 weeks now but we are doing energy for 10 weeks. For the past 1 week, we have been focusing on solar energy and we had to create what our school would look like with solar panels and why we need them. Milla and I learnt that solar panels are really expensive, they cost around 3,000 to 30,000 dollars. We enjoyed making the model, we started off by making it 3D  but then we realised we only had one day left so we made is 2D instead.

5 Health Benefits of Exercise

 

Today we did a challenge with Taiao, Most Wednesdays we go for a run to 4j's and back.

4j's is a dairy not far from our school, most kids jog at the start and the rest of the way where some kids walk and jog some of the way.

The challenge was, We had to create a poster showing the 5 Health benefits of fitness. Miss Read and Miss Far had to decide on 2 people with quality captions and quality information, the 2 winners were Grace and Eden they won a little blue and 500-700 house points. 

Even though we had a time limit of no more than 25 minutes I enjoyed this task because it was easy for me to edit the background and text fonts because usually it takes me a long time.

Inflatable World - Persuasive Writting

 Dear Tania Gibson,

My name is Ella and I think it would be a fantastic idea to get an Inflatable World in town.  An Inflatable World would get us more money, it would give everyone something to do and bring enjoyment to all ages and it would also teach people new skills.

I think building an Inflatable World would be a good idea because it could make a lot of money. On the weekends when kids are bored, they could spend time with their friends at Inflatable World. It would also be good for birthdays and fundraisers.

If we had an Inflatable World lots of people would be able to enjoy and spend time with their friends and family. Any age would be suitable as long as there are safe areas for children and toddlers. 

An Inflatable World would also be good for teaching useful skills such as Jumping higher, dodging, etc. Schools and classes could go for a day out at Inflatable World and have fun, learn new skills, and do challenges.

To conclude my letter, I think an Inflatable World in town would be a good idea because it would make a lot of money, teach people new skills and bring enjoyment to all ages. I hope that you consider my letter and put it into mind.

Yours sincerely, Ella

For the past 2 weeks during writing, We have been focusing on persuading our readers. First, we had to choose a topic that we wanted, I chose to write to the mayor Tania Gibson about building an Inflatable world in Greymouth. We weren't really writing the letter and sending it to them, this task was just for learning purposes. I enjoyed this task because it didn't take me long, it took me about 3-4 days.
