Inquiry: Aviators

This week for inquiry our subject is about Aviators. An aviator is the pilot, and for this activity we had to choose a famouse Aviator to either make a google map about where they flew to, make a Venn Diagram compairing the plane they flew in to a mordern plane, or we could make a timeline of their achievements. You had to do two and you could work with someone. I worked with Sanujan and we did the google map and the Venn Diagram. Below there is the link to the map we made and an image of the Venn Diagram we made.

Maths: Bar Graph

L.I: to accurately collect data 

L.I: to accurately present data

L.I: to accurately interpret data

This week for maths we got to group up and choose a subject to get the classes answer or opinion. I worked with Abdurrahim and our subject was the ages of people in LS1. Once we got our answers we had to make a graph representing the Mean Median and Mode. Mean is the average number so our average ages in the class was 10.29 Years old. The Median is the middle number but me and Abdurrahim couldn't do that because we didn't record out data in order so we could skip that part. And the Mode is the most shown number, so our most shown was the 11 year old's because there were more 11 year old's than all the other ages. This is me and Abdurrahim's graph that we made.

Reading: Inferences The First Flying Machine

L.I: to infer information using clues and prior knowledge. This week for reading we read the text, First Flying Machine. It was about the Wright Brothers and what they did in their lives. We had to read the story and make some inferences. These are my inferences I made.

Blog Comment

Today we went to the Manaiakalani Film Festival. One of my favourite movies I watched was room one and two's Poi e remake. I loved how they enjoyed spinning their Poi's and dancing like in the real song. This was the comment that I posted.

Reading: Inference Recording

LI: to infer information about events in a story.

This week for reading we read the text On The Runway. We then had to infer the story and write down what we think, evidence from the text and write down our prior knowledge.

Writing: Narratives

LI: to plan and write a narrative within a week.

This week for writing we had to plan and write a brand new narrative. My narrative is called Step By Step, and it is about a man (Ryan Muli) with a normal life, but another man (Tagen White) had broke out of jail and he had launch codes. Ryan Muli tries to find the launch codes to save the country from being blown up, but Ryan has to chase Tagen down. Ryan finds the codes and disables the missiles, and he saves the country.

Step By Step

Ryan Muli was an ordinary man, with a happy life, a loving wife, and peace and quiet… until Thursday. On Thursday night the news reported Tagen White had broke out of jail. He had launch codes for missiles that no one knew where to find. That’s when Ryan had a job to get done, he could've left the country, but then he would lose all loved ones that he couldn’t get in contact with. Ryan waited for the morning, got dressed and left the house. Ryan had no clue where to look, so he went to the police station to find footage. When he checked the camera’s the man spat on the camera so it would be blurry, but it didn’t stop Ryan from seeing which direction he went. The cops got his fingerprints and got some sniffer dogs to track Tagen White down.

They were walking for about an hour until the sniffer dogs started barking, the cops ran with the dogs until they saw Tagen standing there. Ryan and the cops ran after Tagen, but Tagen was too fast for the police, so it was up to Ryan to get him. Tagen vaulted over a pipe and Ryan dive rolled through a window. Tagen’s plan was to launch the missiles, take a hydro jet to leave the country, then the missiles would come down and blow the country up.

Tagen did all this because he felt like no one cared about him after his wife left him, he started drinking and he got a ticket and insulted the cop and got sent to prison for a couple of months.

Ryan lost Tagen, but he saw a warehouse. Ryan entered the warehouse and saw blueprints, showing how the missiles are made and disabled. Then Ryan saw the launch codes, his plan was to get the codes loaded on a new email account that no one knows about, burn the piece of paper, delete the account off the computer and destroy the computer if Tagen hacks the computer and gets old computer history. Ryan grabbed the codes and rode a bike back home. He did his plan, but the missiles were still active. Ryan went back to the warehouse and went deeper until he found the missiles. He climbed the main missiles that powered the rest, and he read the blueprints. The blueprints read, pull the red plug, press the blue button, put the red plug back in, and pull the rest of the plugs out at the same time. Ryan succeeded, but the missiles still left ground. Ryan tried to make the missiles go towards the beach so Ryan could jump off. The missiles were about to blow up in mid air, so Ryan jumped off the missile hoping to land in the water. Ryan jumped … and landed in the shore while watching the missiles blow up in the air.

In the end Tagen was taken back into jail for life, Ryan made it into the Guinness World Records for the highest dive, Ryan got paid 1 billion dollars for saving the country, and he had a child.

The End

Inquiry: Migration

This week for inquiry we had to group up and research about a group of people that migrated, and answer some questions, and I worked with Abdurrahim and Sanujan. Our group of people that migrated that we chose were the Sri Lankan's. We had to answer questions like, where they migrated to, why they migrated, their religion,  we had to make a map of where they went, problems in their new country and if any of them went back to their home country.
