The Amazon's a'fire

In room 1 we have been learning about the Amazon fires. What I found difficult was finding information and what I enjoyed was learning about climate change, global warming and how it effects our planet.

Maths quiz

In room 1 we have been learning about being cybersmart. This week we created a maths quiz slideshow. This is designed for year three kids however everyone can give it a go. What I found difficult was puting the GIFs on my slides (a GIF is a moving picture.) What I enjoyed was finishing my slides. I hope you enjoy.

Caging Chickens Should Be Banned

In room 1 we have been learning about persuasive writing. What I found difficult was inserting an image. What I enjoyed was learning more about chickens.

 Would you like to be a caged chicken? I firmly believe that caging chickens should be banned.

One of the main reasons is that caged chickens are squashed. Eighty two percent out of three point two million egg laying hens are caged. In sheds forty five thousand hens are caged. In cages one chicken has a space of one A4 paper to live on.

Another reason is caged chickens get diseases. One of the diseases is rickets, this is caused by lack of vitamin D from no sun in the sheds.

My final reason is chickens can’t act natural. They can’t scratch for food, have a dust bath or stretch or flap their wings. They can’t build nests or perch so they get aggressive and peck each other so their beaks are cut. When a male chicken is one day old he is killed and eighteen month old hens stop laying eggs and they are also killed.

In conclusion I believe hens should not be caged because they are squashed, get diseases and can't act natural.

Pollination Animation

In room 1 we have been learning about interdependence. The bee gets nectar from the flower and the flower gets pollinated. What I found interesting was making the slides and what I found difficult was spelling pollination. 

interdependence

In room 1 we have been learning about interdependence. I chose the honey guide and the honey badger. What I found challenging was putting the google drawing on my blog and what I enjoyed was making my google drawing. Here is my google drawing I hope you like it.

Tom Fedro art

In room 1 we have been painting Tom Fedro art.
Tom Fedro is an artist born in Chicago. When he was a child, drawing and painting were his hobbies. He was interested in paintings of women with a pop art style and bold colours and lines. What I found challenging was blending the purple hair. What I enjoyed was mixing colours.
