City Of Sails Challenges| 3 | NZ Alphabet Key

For my fourth activity I did the Alphabet Key of Auckland. This activity was basically filling each of the alphabet letters with things that are based on Auckland. For example the letter R could be the Rugby because it is the New Zealand Sport, NZ or F can be Farming since we have a lot of farming industry. It was pretty hard because it was hard to find a topic based on Auckland that started with the letter x, y, and z, but then I figured out X Mas, Yellow eyed penguin and the Z Gas Station was one. 

City Of Sails Challenges| 2 |Where I Would Live In New Zealand?

For one of the City of Sails Challenge I decided to do what place I would live in New Zealand and why I would live there. I decided to choose Queens town, since I've been there multiple times. I would want to go to Queens town because of the large variety of activities there are especially the Skyline and Luge which is where I've been in the previous holidays. Not only that, but the Lake Wakatipu is really amazing because of its crystal clear water.

City Of Sails Challenges| 1 | City Of Sails Welcome Sign

This week for inquiry we have been researching about Auckland the City Of Sails. Our task was to do five challenges about Auckland. My first task that I did is the City Of Sails welcome sign.  In my sign I have the Harbor Bridge, a Kiwi, and the Auckland City. I found this task really fun because I was able to creative with my learning.

Victorian Era Schools/ Steampunk Art

This week for inquiry, LS2 have been learning about the Victorian Era. The Victorian era was based on Queen Victoria's time. Our first activity was to choose one of the task from Victorian time and Junior, Mataio and I decided to choose to research about the Children working in factories. We researched about this because we wanted learn how life was hard for children back in the Victorian times. I found out that kids who are age 5 to 6 and are skinny would have to climb to the chimney and clean all the yuck chemicals. In my perspectives we are lucky because back in the Victorian time if the kids spoke to each other they were smacked, but in nowadays we don't get smack for doing bad things in schools. Some of the kids doing the chimney sweep had rotten teeth because of the chemicals. After this activity we were to draw a steampunk which was based on the Victorian era. A steampunk is when modern technology is mixed with technology back in the Victorian times. I have drew a heart. Our last task was to make a DLO based on what steampunk art is and facts about it as well. I really enjoyed all activity especially drawing the steampunk.
