My Ingiry

Kia ora everybody.For the last three weeks I've been working on an Inquiry slide that answers my Inquiry question. My Inquiry question was how do black holes form. The thing that I liked about it was that it was really fun because I got to research about Black holes and find some interesting facts about Black holes. The thing  that I didn't like about it was that it took forever to make and that most of it was just researching about what the key words mean. Two interesting facts that I found about  Black holes was that If you fell into a Black hole, theory has long suggested that gravity would stretch you out like spaghetti the other fact was that Black holes have a force around them that sucks up everything around it. So here is my work.

Leaves

Kia Ora my fellow blogger
Today I did a blog post about autumn leaves with one of my teachers Mrs Fletcher.
We went outside to go and look at the yellow and brown leaves. Then we went inside and and started writing. The thing that I liked about the leaf writing was that I got to go outside and have fun in the leaves. The thing that I didn't like about the leaf writing was that it was hard to find out what I was going to do like if I was going to do a poem or a normal writing about autumn leaves. The thing that I found interesting about the leaf writing was that I got to look at all of the golden leaves and see all of the words that describe autumn leaves. So here is my work.

My Earthquake PMI.

Kia ora,  my fello commenters
Today I did a P M I and an information report about earthquakes. A P M I explains what I liked about, what I didn't like about it and what I found interesting about it.
 Earthquakes 
 An earthquake is when the crust of the earth shakes really strongly. They are caused by the mantle moving the crust. The mantle moves tectonic plates on the crust apart and together. Sometimes when plates touch each other they get stuck for a while. But the mantle keeps moving and eventually a weak part of a plate cracks and the plates break apart suddenly. Earthquakes can do a lot of damage by breaking roads and houses. When the earthquake breaks a building it can fall on people so make sure that you're under a table when you're having an earthquake.

Is the Earth like a hard-boiled egg?



Kia ora 
We are learning about what the Earth is like on the outside and the inside. We used hard-boiled eggs as mini-models for the earth. We got to design our own continents and islands on the outside of the egg shell. At the end of the experiment we got to eat the egg!

The Structure of the Earth Facts

Structure of the Earth Facts
We are learning about the structure of the Earth.
I learnt that the Earth is made up of 4 layers. They are: Crust Mantle Outer Inner.


Facts about each layer:
Crust -The Crust is made up of soil and rock. It is 8 to 40kms thick.
Mantle - The Mantle is really hot and is squishy liqud. It is the thickest layer.
Outer Core - The Outer Core is even hotter and is runny to. It is 4000-6000*C.
Inner Core - The Inner Core is even hotter then the Outer Core and the mantle and is rock solid
because of all the pressure from the other layers.
Our group -  
First we created a 3D image of the earth using clay.
We then cut the shape in half to show the
different layers. After waiting for it to dry, we

Below are some pictures of our work.

halving shapes

Hello my fello commenters

We have been learning about halving shapes.
The reason behind this task was to find halves of tricky shapes.
The thing I found hard was that not all the shapes were even on both sides.
Something that helped me was using the squares in the background.
