Today we did some baking - partly to have something fun to do, partly to look after our physical and mental health, partly so Miss Ashley could assess how much we know/can do.
We got into groups of 4 people, got given a recipe and away we went!
Here are the videos we made to show our process!
Group 1 - Hope, Mariah, Nitika and Senitila. Hope's blog post Mariah's blog post Nitika's blog post Senitila's blog post
In technology control group with Mr Grundy from Tamaki College, students were asked to design (and make if they could) something steampunk inspired.
Here is what Mariah made.
Over the last few weeks, we have been learning a lot about WW1 through ANZAC related reading tasks, and exploring what else NZ soldiers did during WW1.
Yesterday we made a DLO showing the complexity of the battlefield, with trenches on both sides, aerial attacks, and the tunnels build under no mans land.
One student, Wesley, built his own no man's land on a game called Combat 5.
This is a map showing the way Germany went to get to France. The Western Front went along the top of France. Its purpose was to stop Germany getting all the way through France and down to other countries.
Mariah -In August 1914 the first ever world war 1 began.Both tema dug a long line of trenches that faced one another drawing war.This was the Western Front.The space between the two sets of trenches was called no-man’s land.German trenches by sending thousands of soldiers across no-man’s land.Huge numbers died aƞ er being shot at or shelled. To limit the risk to their men, both sides began to dig tunnels that led under no-man’s land.in the hope of killing soldiers in the enemy trenches overhead. This was known as tunnel warfare – the war underground.
Wesley - In the year 1914 the first ww1 started. The German soldiers attacked Belgium and swept into the Western front through France. 1000 men were to go to German to attack but they all got killed,Both sides dug a trench named no man's land.
Michael - in August 1914 the first world war began. The German army invaded Belgium and swept in france. The allies stopped the Germans advance, and both sides dug a long line of trenches that was called no-mans- land. The allies tried to capture the German trenches by sending thousands of soldiers across no-mans land on foot.
Hope - In 1914 in August the German army invaded Belgium and swept into France. The Allies stopped the German advance. Both sides dug a long line of trenches that faced one another. The space between the two sets of trenches was called no-man's land. There were Allies that tried to capture the German trenches by sending over thousands of soldiers across the no-man's land on foot. Huge numbers died after being shot at or shelled. The two sides began to dig underneath the no-man's land. Where they used explosives in the hope of killing the enemies. It was known as the tunnel warfare - war underground
Davlyn - in august, the German and British with their allies NZ finally meet in France to fight in the ww1. There were two trenches: the british and the german and in the middle was called no man's land. When soldiers went in on foot they would have died from getting shot at, the british tried to capture the germans trenches on no man land but they failed. Both sides had to go and dig under there enemy trenches and put explosives under them and then they will fall in and die.
Eh Htoo -Tunnel Warfare began in August 1914, when the German army took over Belgium and went into france. The Allies tried to stop the German by sending thousands of soldiers across no-man’s land large numbers of men died by being shot at or shelled to limit the risk to their men the two army
Railey-during August 1914, the german army took over Belgium and after they did they charged at france and started to invaded it but luckily the allies took advantage and stopped german from advancing
No mans land during the war
No mans land after the war
(the wholes or craters in the ground here are leftover from the war)
Today my class are making tutorials for whatever we want so I wanted to make a `How to make a pancake tutorial`. The challenge is to put the steps in order, but first u have to watch the video. This was kinda hard to record our teacher said to do it in screencastify but I didn't do that (sorry miss) i recorded with my other device😎. Anyway hope you enjoy and Thank You for watching/reading.
Carved out - when you make a cave using tools like a pick axe or shovel to make a hole in the rock
Caverns- Cave
Underground network - a group of tunnels under the ground
Summary in our own words
Michael- 20 years ago some school boys stumbled into a tunnel underneath the french
Wesley-almost 20 years ago some schoolboys found a cavern where soldiers came to rest in.
Davlyn- Nearly 20 years ago some schoolboys will wonder into a tunnel underneeth
Eh Htoo-About 20 years ago some school boys full into a cavern in france it was a tunnel
that is about 30 metres it was a hiding plase a About 100
Mariah: About 20 year ago schoolboys discovered an andgrawn caverns with some stafe.
Railey- for about 20 years ago some schoolboys suddenly stumbled in an underground tunnel in the French City of Arras. THey made a huge discovery of the underground tunnel that was made during WW1
Hope - Around Twenty years ago there were schoolboys that stumbled into a tunnel underneath the French city of Arras. They discovered something amazing there. The tunnel that they were in led 30 meters underground into enormous caverns. There were Signs, Names and Graffiti painted on bare rock walls. There was one message on the wall that said ¨Kia Ora NZ¨. There was also a hidden place for the soldiers that was made a hundred years ago during WW1 and the boys accidentally rediscovered it. There were Thousands of men resting in the stone caverns
Here is Railey's Map showing where Flanders, Arras, Calais, Dunkirk and Dover are and what he knows about them.
