My Field to table Inquiry

My Field to table Inquiry

For our field to table we got to choose a food or product that grows. I chose to do palm oil because I wanted to find out why these animals had to suffer by their habitats getting cut down to replace them with palm oil trees. Once we had decided what we wanted to study and find out about, we got given many different websites to find out different things about our product. When we had all of our information about our product we had to think of a way to present all of our new knowledge, we had the choice of a Google slides, piktocharts, dioramas, models, art work, prezis and posters. I chose to do a poster, I added in flaps for my questions and underneath the flaps was the answer. Our success criteria was that we had to add in pictures, detailed questions, what we already knew, paragraphs and a purpose.

My version of Little Red Riding Hood (Story board that)

My version of Little Red Riding Hood-Storyboard that

For the last few weeks, our class have been learning about speech and where to place commas, apostrophes and capital letters. To show that we understand where they are placed, for homework we got asked to create a storyboard that. Te purpose was to add in conversations between characters. Here is mine, it is my version of Little Red Riding Hood.

 Calendar Art - Zen-tangle

In class for Calendar art we learnt lots of different Zen-tangle patterns, we practised patterns. Once we had learnt some of the Zen-tangle patterns we got to choose an animal outline from the internet and trace the outline, I decided to do a dog. When we had the outline of our animal, we sectioned of parts of our animal and filled them in with Zen-tangle patterns.

Geometric Patterns

Geometric Patterns

In Maths we are learning about 2D and 3D shapes. We created a geometric patterns using diagonal lines, we used protractors to start us off by finding the centre of the circle, and then measuring out on the protractor 120 degrees. The shapes that you can see in mine are triangles, stars and hexagons. After we had ruled all of our lines, we got to colour in all of the segments.

My inquiry Questions- Voki

For our inquiry we got to choose something that we were interested in and wanted to research and find out about, I chose to do palm oil, listen to this video/Voki below to hear my main question about palm oil.

My Strawberry poster

For our field to table inquiry we have been learning about strawberries. We got given sites, documents and videos all about strawberries. We also had a trip to Scott's Strawberry farm where we learnt all about what strawberries liked and disliked, the process of growth, what tools were used and lots of interesting facts. Once we had all of our information about strawberries, we had to present all of our new knowledge in one way. I chose to create a poster. I have a close up photo of a strawberry below, and an info graphic.

My Garden Design

In class we have been learning about soil and growing plants. We got asked to create a garden, we got to choose between vegetables,fruits,flowers or herbs. I chose to do flowers, I did sunflowers,snapdragons,gerberas,everlasting daisies, poppies and salvias. We got given the Yates website http://www.yates.co.nz/products/seeds/vegetables and had to find out how deep the plant had to be planted, the space between other plants and what type of soil it liked. We could only get certain plants because they all had to like the same soil. Here is mine.
