Inquiry Presentation.

Today we presented our inquiry presentation. My group and I wanted to spice things up a bit, so we created a  kahoot and read Mao's information report for Covid-19. After reading Mao's information report, we then asked everyone to get out their chromebooks so they could play the kahoot game we created. There were 11 questions relating to Covid-19. Everyone looked like they were having a little bit of fun. 

Here is what we created. all of the questions were based around Covid-19. Me and gene enjoyed creating the kahoot game. it was fun to actually create something online. 

 Museum Trip. 

On Monday the 28th of June, room 2 had a class trip to the Museum. We traveled by van which was a bit cramped. We arrived at the Museum, we grabbed our bags and walked up the stairs to where we were meant to be. We were escorted into a room where we could place our belongings and have a bite to eat. We were then introduced to our tour guide Aaron. Aaron had asked us to come in and sit on the matt so he can lay down the rules and hype us up for an exciting day ahead.  

Once Aaron had finished giving us our pep talk he lead us to the most interesting part of our history, The World War Memorial. Here we learnt about the different kind of wars over the years and how certain countires had an alliance which helped them achieve peace. The Spanish flu/Influenza Pandemic was touched on and how it had infected the soldiers while they were at war.  

                     

 

We were then lead to another part of the memorial, in here there were gold letters reaching from the bottom to the top of the wall with all the fallen soldiers names in alphabetical order. In the middle of the room there were at least 6 giant windows surrounding a circular tomb with many different country flags above it. Aaron had explained to the group that this tomb was in memory of all the fallen soliders that faught in the wars who use to reside in Aukland.  

Aaron had given us a well detailed explanation of how the spanish flu spread and the effects it had caused to the people during the war. Aaron had displayed  5 items infront of us under a red cloth/blanket; We all had to chose one of the 5  and find out what it was used for during the war. Sofaia and I received  2 pieces of paper, a box, and a rescue stretcher. We were then informed what they were used for and there purpose. The stretcher was used for wounded soliders, the box contained first aid medical supplies, 1 piece of paper had insructions on how to care for the patient and the other was a diagnoses note of there condition.   

After Aaron had completed his tour with room 2, we thanked him for the amazing experience and knowledge that he shared with us. 

Into the thick of it Into the thick of it boom..... The Earthquake house. The experience everyone wanted to be apart of and do, so we all headed down to the Volcano exhibition. We entered through a dark room with warm lighting. Most of us got ourselves comfortable and sat down. The tv turned its self on. We watched families being interviewed by reporters. traffic was bad, and families were worried. *BOOM* The house started to shake. *BOOM* there it goes again. A big wave was coming towards us rapidly, the trees were waving and the air was black.. 

 

And just like that, .. the earthquake was over. We exited through a bright hallway and out the door. We then parted and went our separate ways. My group and I stayed and obeserved more of the Volcanic related showcase. We got to feel how smooth and heavy the rocks were that came from the volcano.

I really enjoyed my time at the museum. There were so many more exhibtions to look observe. I had lots of fun.
