Welcome to MNL 2021

 We are 7 & 8 MNL, 2021. We hope you enjoy learning a little bit more about us from our presentation below. We are one of six Year 7 & 8 classes at Ōtaki College, based on the Kapiti Coast. We look forward to sharing our learning with you this year. 

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.

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).

MNL were challenged by Schoolkit to create some Insect Art, based on the work of Raku Inoue. You can check his work out here:
