Our inquiry project was to show how we could reduce, reuse and recycle a component that was being wasted. My groups component was a plastic bottle which I think we covered nicely with telling everyone how to reduce, reuse and recycle a plastic bottle.

Red And Black Day

RED AND BLACK DAY
On Friday the 4th of March we had a day where we could wear black and red clothes to school to help support the devastating earthquake in Christchurch, many people lost their lives in the natural disaster but many brave people risked their own lives to save someone else. The day was extraordinary, everywhere we looked around we saw red and black clothes, everyone one was contributing to the task and for that we earned $924.00 it was extravagant. Although it was disappointing to see people not contributing and wearing school uniform we sill earned a lot for Christchurch. Out hopes and our prays sill go out to the people still missing in all the rubble.

Our First Skype Session to America

Today in class we Skyped some year 12 students from Illinois, America. They asked us questions about New Zealand and the devastating Earthquake in Christchurch. They asked us when it was, and how big it was. They asked us for our ages and they were shocked since they were older than us. The three girls asked us how horrifying it was, since our school is in Auckland we couldn't tell them. We asked them about where their school is located and how is it like living there. They told us that is was boring but I think it would be a great place to go and visit. A few students from my class asked some questions like "Does Illinois have any natural disasters". They said that there are no major disasters but they have mini earthquakes.

Plus-

• They find out more information on the Christchurch earthquake.
• We got to talk to people in Illinois, America.

Minus-

• Their was a bit of bad connection between us and them.(We couldn't hear them properly)
• We were quite nerves because it was our first time skyping with another class.
