My Worm Farm!- Harriet

This week in homeroom we read a story about worm farms. It was a awesome story and it taught me a bit about worm farms. Worm farms are a really good thing to have. It means your scrap waste doesn't go to a landfill and let methane gas into the air. Landfills also get really stinky. Worm farms are a really efficient thing to have and give great fertiliser. They are also really easy to contain and don't take much energy to make.

 

This is an efficient worm farm I made.

This is how to make a worm farm.

Jordan: My Worm Farm

This week we have been learning how important worms are and that we should all have  worm farms. Because of that I had to do some tasks here are some tasks below. The first one is a worm farm I made and the second slide is how to make a worm farm.

Kaitiakitanga - What we think...

This term in 7 & 8 MNL we are learning about Kaitiakitanga. To start our topic, we had to think about the following:

Think about the words Kaitiakitanga and Kaitiaki. What do these words mean? 
What is Kaitiakitanga? How can we show Kaitiakitanga? Why is it important? By showing Kaitiakitanga, what can we achieve? If we do not show Kaitiakitanga, what might happen? After doing some exploring with a series of resources, we had to come up with our response to these questions and post them on Flipgrid. You can check out some of our thoughts in the videos below:

Custom Classroom Designs

7 & 8 MNL were challenged to help Megan with some Bitmoji learning planner designs. You can see some of our amazing classroom designs in the slideshow below. Megan has also been featuring different designs in our weekly learning planner, which you can check out here. We had a lot of fun with these designs and they help make our online learning more interactive and fun! Maybe your teacher would like to try too.

What Would Your Super Power Be?

MNL were challenged to think about Super Powers, and if they could have any super power, what would it be and why? They were then challenged to create a comic strip using storyboardthat demonstrating their superpower. Check out some of their comic strips below:

Annelise would like the opportunity to be able to turn in to any object or animal.

Harriet would love the super power of being able to clean or redesign a room instantly (I would LOVE this one too!)

Jordan would like to be able to control the weather, as well as being able to turn invisible...imagine all of the things you could do!

Koya would like to be able to teleport whenever needed! A great super power to help escape tricky situations.

Kyra would like to be able to fly...imagine the places you could go!

What would your super power be?

90 Second Abstract Art...What can you create?

MNL decided to try out a cool website called Colour Push. This site allows you to create digital pieces of abstract art in 90 seconds. You can check out the site here. It is a lot of fun to explore and create some art. Check out some of our 90 second art work below:

Eye Bombing

For Fun Friday, MNL were challenged to go eye bombing to try and make the people in their bubbles smile. Check out some of their awesome efforts below...

Talking to Animals...

MNL were challenged to interview their pets or another animal. If they could talk to and understand their pets, what would they ask and how would their pets respond? Check out some of the awesome interviews below.






 

Travelling Animals

While in Lockdown, the world has gone so quiet! Travelling to far off places is now just a dream, and so we have to use our imagination to take us to the places we want to go!
With the world locked down, MNL were challenged to send their pets, or themselves to some far off destinations - places that they would one day like to visit! Our pets and animals travelled to some pretty impressive places - all around the world. You can check out some of their dream destinations below:

Wellbeing Wednesday - Word Art

Every day, throughout Term Two, we have a different wellbeing focus in MNL. Wellbeing Wednesday is a day in which we can reflect on, focus on and put in to place all of the things that help us feel good, especially when we are feeling a bit down. Our challenge for this Wellbeing Wednesday, was to design a piece of word art on https://wordart.com/ that incorporated all of the things that help us feel good, the things we enjoy and the things that are important to us. Check out some of the amazing creations from MNL below (A few more to be added, when they are complete).
