Hey bloggers,
Throughout literacy this term we have been reading a book called Once by Morris Gleitzman. It is about a boy called Felix and the Holocaust, and him taking us on his journey throughout this horrible point in time. We walk through Felix's hometown with Felix guiding us around where he use to live. He remembers what it was like when he lived their, but now it is nothing because of what atrocities the Nazis committed. Their was a lot of feelings in the book Once like Fear, Racism, Emotions, Imagination and many more.
We made a site and brain stormed some questions for our site, mine were Why Did Hitler Hate The Jews, When Did The Holocaust Start, What did the Camps look like in the inside, How Did The Nazi Take The Jews and Where Were The Camps Located. I found out some information about Concentration Camps and there are actually way more Camps then I thought.
Here is the site I made:

Hello Bloggers, Today for Literacy we are learning about Laurel and Yanny and about how we hear it and why others hear it different. There is a big discussion around the whole world, about what you hear and what others hear. There is also something similar it is called Green needle and Brainstorm.
In our Literacy most of us heard Yanny instead of Laurel. The secret is frequency. The audio information that makes us hear Yanny is higher frequency than the audio information that makes us hear Laurel. Some of the variation may be due to the audio system playing the sound. For example you might have a better set of head phones that might make you hear different sounds like the Yanny and Laurel.
But some of it is also the mechanics of your ears, and what you’re expecting to hear. Sometimes you could hear both and that is normal for some people. Older adults tend to start losing their hearing at the higher frequency ranges. In the whole world 42% of people hear Laurel, 40% of people hear Yanny and 17% of people hear both. š
Here's a link to it, comment what you hear! Do you know any more things like this,? If you do please comment as well.
Hey Bloggers, for Inquiry we are learning about the Treaty of Waitingi and about the British and the Maori settlers. So the teachers set us off with a task, the task was to go onto a google doc and write a script being in the British or Maori perspective. I chose to be in a Maori perspective. Then we had to go on a site called Voki and put our writing in it and make a character that look like a Maori settler or a British. Here is the link.
