Showing positivity online

Showing positivity online

In Whakamanawa, we had to go on this learning site called Venngage.  On Venngage we had to make an online poster about Netiquette or Showing positivity online.  Here is my Venngage.

Showing positivity online

Another good way to be positive online is by making someone's day.

You can show positivity online by looking at a blog post and say if you like it you can put a positive comment.

You should be positive online because it will make other people be positive online.

My next step is to do more on Venngage.



I got my information from the Uru Manuka site.

Factual Writing

Factual Writing

In Literacy, we had to do something called Factual Writing I wrote about how to make noodles.  Factual Writing is writing about something like lessons.  Here is my one.

How to make noodles

To make noodles you need a pot, noodles, water, stove and how to make the noodles you will need to turn the stove on to heat five, you will need to add the water to the pot then let it boil, after it boiled you will add the noodles into the pot of water and let them cook, when they are finished cooking you put the flavoring in and mix them up and then turn the stove off and then enjoy your noodles. 

                                                                                           

Here is another way how to make noodles. This is how you make them in the microwave. You put water in the bowl, you put the noodles in the bowl, you put them in the microwave to cook you let them cook for 2 minutes when they are done cooking you take them out of the microwave and put the flavoring in and mix them around and then enjoy them. 

My next step is to do something harder.

I got my information from making this thing.

Mariana Trench

Mariana Trench

In Literacy, for the past two weeks, we have been learning about the Mariana Trench.  I used all of the information that I read to help me write my information report.  I spent a whole week on this.  I tried my hardest to make it interesting.  After we finished writing our report we edited it.  I wrote an introduction, the Sea Creatures, how deep the Mariana Trench is, volcanic chimneys, and then lastly a conclusion.  Then we had to get a buddy to check it.  I hope you enjoy.

Introduction:

Do you think the Pacific Ocean is deep? Wait till you hear about the Mariana Trench!  Guess what, if you are a scuba diver you better be careful if you come across the Mariana Trench because if you go down there you might not come out alive.  Read this report to find out about the sea creatures, how deep the Mariana Trench is, and volcanic chimneys. 

Sea Creatures: 

In the Mariana Trench, there are three different Creatures that I think are very interesting and they are the Water Cucumber, Dumbo Octopus and also the little glow fish that live in the Mariana Trench.  All the Creatures that live in the Mariana Trench are interesting.   They are interesting because when you find out about them and you would probably want to find out more about them and explore them.  They are also interesting because you would never usually think that those kinds of creatures exist. 

How deep is the Mariana Trench:

Did you know that the Mariana Trench is 7 miles deep. 

Did you know if you put Mount Everest in the Mariana Trench there will still be 3 kilometers of water left. The Mariana Trench is the deepest place in the ocean. It is 11,034 meters (36,201 feet) deep.

Volcanic Chimneys:

In the Mariana Trench, there are volcanic chimneys that shoot out these things called black smokers.  A black smoker is a kind of hydrothermal vent that can be found on the ocean floor.  It is a crack in the planet's surface from which geothermally heated water comes out.

Conclusion:

I have learned that the Mariana Trench is a very interesting place and that I want to learn more about it because it is really fun to learn about.  Before we started to learn about the Trench I knew nothing, now I know lots about the Mariana Trench!
