My DLO

Kia ora my name is Ayanda in Te Maunga we have been doing T Shaped Literacy about Recycling. This is my DLO that I made about Recycle Reuse Reduce Refuse. Recycling is like paper that you already and you put it in the recycle bin and it will go were the paper will turn into new paper. Reuse is if you have a plastic water bottle and you can wash it and reuse it. Reduce is when you want a clean environment without plastic and much more stuff. Refuse is when the rubbish goes in the dump. Well go cheak out my DLO!

Animation

Kia ora my name is Ayanda in Te Maunga we are doing animations about plants, how to grow popcorn and how to grow a tomato plant.  It was very fun but it took three weeks to make our animations. This animation is based on the t-shaped literacy that we did 2 weeks ago about how to grow a plant. My animation is called Gardening in the Living Room here is some information on how to grow a plant in my animation. Come have a look at my animation. I had a great time making my animation.

Makerspace

Kia ora my name is Ayanda in the morning block of school we did MAKERSPACE!!! We were making  electricity out of lemons, balloons, and a hair brush. We made our own groups we had 8 people in my group. The people in my group was Akira, Brisa, Fern, Shivam, Ricky-May, Yazmin and myself. First we blew up the balloons then we rubbed them on our hair. That made a mess of my friend Yazimn’s hair. Then we put it by the Pepsi can and it slowly moved and we were amazed. As well there was a blanket so we rubbed our balloons on the wool blanket then my friend Fern put it close to my balloon, but it didn’t go next to each other it looked like the balloon didn’t like the other one . But at least we all had fun.
                               

Makerspace

Last week on Friday our class did makerspace. We all made our own groups we were only allowed 5 or 6 people in each group. We did cooking!!! It was like My Kitchen Rules but we planted our own plants in the Te Maunga garden.  We planted them on Matariki on June the 25th to October the 25th. We took them out of the garden and put the vegetables in a yellow box. My group made a salad but not any salad it was my friend Briss’s secret salad she taught us. In the yellow box  there was silverbeet, carrots, parsley and celery. We had to get one or more things from the yellow box. We asked our parents at home if they could buy the stuff for makerspace. We used in the salad cucumbers, almonds, strawberries, carrots, grapes, lettuce, tomatoes and ham. All the groups had to say something about their creation that they made. And all of the groups helped and that is teamwork. This is how a plant grows. 1. Find a good place that has water light warmth . It's good for plants. 2. They absorb minerals and water through their roots and turn them into something sticky which is called zap,it is the plants blood. it's moves water and minerals around the plant where they are needed. 3.They  absorb energy from the sun and use it to turn the water from the soil into carbon dioxide.

4. (Co2) from the air into different kinds of sugars. plants need these sugars to grow branches, leaves, flowers and fruit and oxygen.

5. Sugar goes up their roots into the leaves and then they grow to a tree flowers or they create fruit.

6.Different fruits and vegetables grow in different spaces and times of the day. 

7.Plants can overcooked just like us, when the temperature gets too hot in the living room the plants get to hydrated, there are also vents on the top of the living room when they open the hot air leaks out. the living room is cool and the plants can provide more food.
