Today we look at the winter learning jounery and what I did was I made a song on song maker and I had fun doing it because me and my firends made songs and all of us made cool song my friend made die with a silme by Bruno Mars and it sounded so cool but I made a beat. The beat I made was like a normal beat . But the beat is still cool.
Our challenge was to research the impact of a specific volcanic eruption in Aotearoa. We could choose from Mt Tarawera or Whakaari.
We found out that whakaari white island was the most fatal volcano eurtption in New Zealand
I found this task cool because I got to work with my firends and have a good time
Why Maungarei sleeps 
For this task we used ai and and the prompt I used was volcano with angry face and human expression with really angry face
Back, far back, when time was very young, Maungarei the fire mountain was calm, peaceful and soulful. But was awoken from her sleep, angry and had a bad temper and her gaze was sharp as a arrow head , her head was shaped as a arrow her rage took over her emotions and with her fiery core that built her anger up and took over her making her rumble and grumble in fury making the other maunga run away in fear, she got so angry she created a smoke screen of fury Maungarei soon regretted her actions and realised how lonely she had become sad and angry until
Maungarei had a bad temper and was very angry because she was the oldest sibling and her mom and dad made her look after her siblings. They thought she had it easy but she had it the worst they made her clean all day and night until she erupted with anger.
Maungarei knew it was time to charge and calm down. She was still angry but still sad when sundown hit she asked for a wish
“Can I be like you guys calm and peaceful?” she Replied . The other maunga
“No you’re scary and mean we don’t like You” they replied and walked away. and then she fell asleep and the other maunga came back but were still afraid so they didn’t get too close.
But her strength still remains as a warrior watching over the land.
The world was more peaceful and calm, the world was better and improved , the land began to flourish and land was greener and greater. Also her spirit was still strong and still stood tall as a guardian watching over the land.
This week we learned how a volcanos eurpts and what it does. When the magma chamber makes pressure it makes ash clouds and boiling hot lava to come out. when tectonic plates crash together is makes the magma chamber pressure. And when the lava hardens and it solidifies into a hard type of rock.
This week we did work on the Tragedy at Tangiwai story and we make a google vid about and what I enjoyed was the work because I found it fun.
LI: To retell an event in history through the fictional eyes of someone who was there
Today we made a Google vid and talked about the diary we made talking about the ANZAC’s in WW1 and explored the Walking with ANZACs site and read Hami Grace’s diary. Doing this helped us put our own diary entries together.
For this activity we had four host and one Samuel Marsden and did a podcast with Samuel Marsden and asked questions about his life and asked what he saw when he sailed down the tamaki river.
LI: To use Google My Maps to show the migratory flight path of the Kuaka.
For this activity we needed to create a map that shows how long the kuaka birds fly for and where the kuaka birds migrate to.
Kuaka birds, also known as bar-tailed godwits, love to hang out near the water, especially in places like estuaries, mudflats, beaches, and coastal marshes, where they find lots of yummy food.
Every year, as winter approaches, the Kuaka fly north to the breeding grounds of Alaska, stopping off in Korea and Japan for a rest and some food on the way. On the return journey, as our summer approaches, they fly directly to New Zealand, a trip of endurance with no food, water, or rest; nearly 12,000 km non-stop.
Did you know that the Kuaka bird holds the world record for the longest flight?
