Bird Feeders! - Inquiry

This week for Inquiry we made bird feeders. This was fun because we got to spread pine cones with peanut butter and roll it in bird seeds! I didn't find this very hard because all we had to really do was spread a pine cone with peanut butter in between each seed thing. Then we had to roll it through a plate/bowl/tray filled with wild bird seed to make the birds want to eat it. Then we attached it to a piece of string (or you can do it at the start) and hung it on a tree!

How To Plant A Tree D.L.O - Inquiry

Today for Inquiry we made a D.L.O on how to plant a tree. We got to plant trees 1 or 2 weeks ago so making this D.L.O was rather easy. I found it fun to make because it was about something I knew how to do. The steps go in this order. 

1. Scrape the bark
2. Cut the weed mat
3. Dig a hole with a trowel
4. Tip Plant Out of pot
5. Take plant out of pot
6. Put plant in hole
7. Hold Plant In Place and put dirt back
8. Push dirt firmly
9. Put bark around the plant
10. Water the plant

The Life Cycle Of A Tree - Inquiry

 Today for inquiry we made a D.L.O about the life cycle of a tree. This was fun because we got to learn about the full life cycle of a tree which has four main stages. These are seed, seedling, sapling & finally adult tree. Each year 1 tree gets rid of 48 pounds of carbon dioxide. This means we should plant more trees! I found this rather easy but it was also challenging to find all the info.

Hip Hop D.L.O - Inquiry

The past week for inquiry we have been doing the topic dance (the theory behind dance not the actual thing). We have learnt about hip hop, which falls under the street dancing branch. This was fun to do because we got to learn about hip hop and I like to make D.L.O's about activities. This was kinda challenging because we had to find out a bit of our own information like for the timeline I put in mine.

Our recipe contained Peanut butter, chocolate (drizzled on top), strawberry's, coconuts & oats.

Keeping it in balance - inquiry & health

Today for health we did keeping it in balance.

We had to use a pie chart (from google sheets) and answer a few questions about our balance e.g Do i have a good balance in my life?

To keep this in balance we need to keep a check on:

• What we eat
• How much exercise we get 
• how we keep our brain active
• how we relate to our family and friends
• how we spend time alone

I have a pretty good balance what about you?
