Writing - Why people build bridges explanation



For the past week we have been learning about structures. Our task was to write a explanation about why people build bridges and reasons why bridges are used. In my explanation I have explained why people build bridges, The materials used when building bridges and why the first bridge was constructed. I found this take very helpful because I learnt that before bridges people used canoe's and ferry's to get across rivers.

Camels Explanation

How the camel has adapted to surviving in the desert
Have you ever thought about how or why Camels live in the Desserts. Camels can live in the Desserts because they are adapted to living in a hot and dry place. A Camel is a mammal with long legs, thick lips, and a humped back. Adapt is to make changes for a purpose to survive and live in hot & dry place for a camel
 
Pads
Camels have pads on their feet and chest to help them walk and lay on the hot sand, They also have webbed feet to walk on the sand much easier.

Eyelashes
Camels have long thick eyelashes to protect them from getting sand or dust getting into their eyes. They have double layers to secure their eyes even more to keep them safe.

Lips
Camels have thick lips to eat twigs, bones and thorns. This lets them eat cactus for water without feeling any pain.


Even though camels aren’t the fastest animal they can help us get through the desert and carry your essentials.


Did you know? Camels can run up to 40 mph



Today for writing we have been learning about how to write an explanation. We decided to write an explanation about how the camel has adapted to their environment. I have learnt an interesting fact about camels, I found out that camels can run up to 40 mph so if your in a rush and stuck in the dessert don't look further and look for a camel.

Why my blog is unique - Explanation

Screenshot 2017-03-08 at 11.51.07.png


A blog is an incredible place where people around the world see and comment on your learning. My blog is unique because it has my thinking and ideas, and it is non-identical to other blogs. Did you know that not all blogs have the same features?


My blog is special because it displays all my learning from 2014 when it came alive. During those years I shared my work 310 times with a global audience. That means I have shared my work 310 times with the world! Around 9,500 people have seen my blog since the day it was born.
Each blog post has 3 main parts to it. A title,  a blurb and labels. My title tells people what my post is about. This is important because when the social media sees it they’ll understand what you did. The blurb is a short summary that tells what I have been learning. This is important because it helps my audience understand what I was learning. I label each post so that my work is easy to find. For example if I post a poem I label the poem in my writing folder.


There is a comments section under each post. The comments help you to connect with other people and their blogs. You use the comments sections to give feedback and feedforward. That means you find out what people liked about your work and sometimes they give you ideas to work on. If I reply we can have a learning conversation. That’s better than writing in a book that only your teacher can see.

My blog is original because it has a timeline of my learning since I was in year four. The best part is that you can't throw your blog away but you can throw your books away.
In Writing we learnt about explanation writing we have been learning about explanations since the past 2 weeks. Fraidoon, Miki and I worked with each other and collaborated to write this. This explanation is about Why our blogs is unique. In a explanation there are 4 mains parts which are Title, Introduction, POIPIO (paragraphs of interesting points in oreder), and conclusion.

What is a River?


In Inquiry we learnt what was a river. This photo is showing the Tamaki River.
Theres the mouth, Estuarial arm and meander. We wrote a Explanation about
Rivers just by using 25 words but me and Jericho used 26 words. I found this
a little bit easy because we watched a video that was explaining what a river is
this was fun and easy as well.
