ESOL - WONDER

Magandang umaga everyone. For the past weeks, we have been focusing on the book wonder. We've started to read this book in term 3, but because of the sudden lockdown, we didn't have the chance to complete it. Luckily, we still have another chance to complete the whole thing and we even get to finish the movie. Our main task for it was to find out what are the differences between the movie and the book, and our reason. I thought that reading this book would be a bit boring, but I was wrong because I quite enjoyed both the movie and even the book. 

Differences of the book and its ending :

Book 

They describe a new dog named Bear in the book. The principal was aware of Auggie's involvement in the fight following the fight, but this did not occur in the book. Julian was expelled for two weeks in the book. In the film, he was only expelled for one week. In addition, the first teacher in the book was a woman, whereas Mr. Brown was the first teacher in the film.

Movie 

The producers of the film do not show you the new puppy named Bear. Auggie sits in the back in the movie, but in the book, he sits in the front. Furthermore, in the film, Summer wishes to shake Auggie's hand. However, in the book, this does not occur. Auggie's hearing aids were lost, according to the book. Also, in the film, Auggie gets into a fight with 7th graders in the woods, which Auggie and his friend win.

Ending

Book - Auggie's mother says in his ear, "Auggie, you truly are a marvel. You are a marvel, "When she does, she's amazed at how well August has adjusted to middle school despite a year of struggle and suffering. He's figured out how to fight his own battles.

Movie - Everyone cheers Auggie as he delivers a voiceover narration (quoting the last precept Mr. Browne gave in class) at the end of the film "Be kind because everyone is going through a difficult time. And all you have to do to find out who people are is to look."

One of the most notable discrepancies in the storyline involves his hearing aids, which are completely absent from the film. His hearing aids fall off and he loses them when the big kids bully them. Getting the hearing aids in the first place was a major deal because he doesn't have them and doesn't want them at the start of the book because he thinks he can hear great and is afraid they will make him look stupid. He fails the hearing component of his annual exam and is fitted for special hearing aids. He first despises them and refuses to wear them, but once they are activated, he discovers how awful his hearing was. Following that, he has no qualms about wearing them in public.

What I enjoyed about the film was that it followed the same plot as the original, although it omitted a few key parts. Maybe it's just me, but I didn't care for the actor's makeup because it made me see Auggie in a whole other light. They missed the HEARING AIDS and the key things in the nature retreat trip, which is one of my three points of distinction! Because we didn't know how he got them, how he felt, or how his mother would react if he lost them, the hearing aids were the thing that made the entire nature retreat exciting and emotional. They didn't notice Amos slamming into Eddie and Auggie's jumper ripping in half. I was disappointed in how they staged that moment. Auggie's sweatshirt had a small rip in it. I expected Daisy's death to make me cry, but it didn't.

Neither the book nor the film became favorites of mine, and I'm not sure I'd watch or read either one again. Reading Normal made me appreciate Wonder's work much more. To teach children to treat everyone with kindness, regardless of their appearance, because everyone is going through difficulties, some of which are more visible than others. That doesn't imply you should be extra nice to individuals with "disabilities," but rather that you should be nice to everyone and attempt to see things from their point of view. This ties in with the final statement, which states that everyone deserves a standing ovation because everyone has faced difficulties in life.

To be honest, I think it's a tie. Neither one, as it was stated, "took my heart." Though, in the end, I think I preferred the book. It provided additional perspectives than the film, which I appreciated. 

Finally, I respect the author's courage in writing about this. After the experience she had with her kid, she assumed responsibility for looking into it and conducting research. It's a major deal if it helps people treat others with kindness, regardless of how they appear or what their background is. I wouldn't discourage anyone from reading it, and I believe it would be beneficial to children.

In extra, I've also created a Venn diagram to make this book extra special. Hope you enjoyed it.

                

SCIENCE

 SCIENCE 

Ni hao everyone, today our first lesson in science for term 4 the whole class have to research things about " Navigation in Space". There's a questions that was given in the slide for us to answer about different things. 

Questions:

1.What is Solar System? The solar system is the smallest of the three system. This consist of a star,sun, and an object that was affected by its gravity. It also include planets, moons, asteroid, comets and meteoroids. Even though the solar system is the smallest among the universe or galaxy, well the actual size of this is hard for the every human minds to truly understand. Let me tell you in terms of scale, if the sun has the size of a tennis ball, the Earth would be the size of a grain of sand. The solar system was formed approximately 4.6 billions years ago by the giant molecular cloud. 

Difference between Solar system and Milky Way: Our solar system consists stars, the sun, etc. Well the milky way galaxy has 200 - 400 billions of of stars, guess what the galaxies came in different sizes. Milky way is big, but some galaxies are much longer. What I'm trying to say about the difference our Earth orbits the Sun in our solar system. The sun is one star among the billions in Galaxy so the Milky way is one among billions of galaxies in our Universe. 

2. What is Star? Describe Nebula : A star is a luminous ball of gas, mostly hydrogen and helium, and that will held together by its own gravity. The thing that support the star is the nuclear fusion, because of its reaction in its core that help go against gravity. That would produce photons and heat, as well as the heavier elements. Nebula is a giant clouds of some dust and gas in the space, some of this things come from the gas that was thrown out by the explosion of a dying star such as a supernova. Other of the Nebula are the regions where new stars beginning to form, and some of them were called " called nurseries". 

3. How do starts die? The start die when their nuclear are exhausted, because some of the star use up their hydrogen fuel quickly but they are hot enough to fuse such a a heavier elements like the helium and carbon. Once there's no fuel left, the star collapsed and the outer layers will explode as the "supernova". 

4. Is there an up and down space? There are NO up and down in space, that can mess with the human brain and also affect the way people move an what they think of space. 

5. How can Stars be used to Navigate?

First you need to know your constellations, Constellations are some grouping of stars that create recognisable patterns in the sky. Some of the constellation are called circumpolar constellations, those remains visible all year long in the hemisphere. Then you need to find the North Star, because it has served as a reliable beacon to guide them home. This is also called Polaris, and it was located directly above the North Pole and it doesn't change its position in the sky. Polaris only appears at stationary in the night sky. Third step is to find the Southern Cross, because the North Star is only visible form the Northern Hemisphere. The Southern Cross can be seen year round at every hour of the night, and this Cross can reach to its highest point in the night sky only when it was pointed in south. Find the east and West, so when you have located the north in Northern Hemisphere or the south, finding the east and west is very simple. You just need to stand facing directly north or south and then stretch your arms our straight to each side. The last three things you need to do is determine your latitude, calculate your longitude and the last thing you need to do is use your resources.

3 facts about Black Hole 

- Back holes are some strange and fascinating object in the outer space, they're dense that even a light can't escape their grasp if it comes near.

- Black holes will spaghettify you and everything else, because the black holes have this incredibly ability to stretch you into a  long spaghetti. That happen when you are close to a black hole.  

- This black holes slow down the time, example when one twin stays on he Earth and when the other one is zooms out into space by the speed of light,turns around, and then returns home. The twin that moves across space is much younger and the quicker you run,the slower  time passes for you. So as you reach the same horizon, because of the strong gravitational force from the black hole you move at high incredible speeds, that time  will slow down. 

Education Outside The Classroom

Hello guys. Welcome to my blog post. Today I am going to tell you what we did last week in the EOTC Week ( Education Outside The Classroom). Well the year 5/year 6's get to do lots of things like clip and climb, ice skating, Mega air, Jelly park, surfing and fish and chips for lunch and sailing.

First we went by the bus to Clip and Climb. Do you know that this was my first time? I was so nervous but I tried not to be scared and we had an instructor who was so kind. I tried my best to do it. I went up walls 7 times at clip and climb. I was not scared and I was happy to do it.

Second was Ice skating. When I went in to ice skating it was so cold and our teacher gave the class a ticket, and we had some lunch because I was so hungry. Suddenly we got some ice skates and I was so so scared to go on the ice because I didn't know how to skate. To practise first,I held on to the rail and moved slowly around the edge. Later I  could skate without holding the rail because I tried to be brave no matter if I fell on the ice.

Third we do surfing in Sumner. There was a lot of big waves and our instructor was giving a sign called the Shaka sign to use when we were surfing. Our instructor give us a weatsuit and my group went surfing before we went body boarding. I tried my best and used my energy to do it. I was so happy. I thought the body boarding was best because it was easier than surfing. Our class ate fish and chips for lunch. 

The forth thing we did is Mega Air and Jelly park. It was the trekkers big day out and the group 1 went first to Mega air. We walked to Mega air and I was very happy to jump on the trampolines. The second thing was Jelly park. We went on the bus and I sat by my friends. I was happy because we played some games like running in the pool, racing in the pool . That was my happy thing with my friends.

The last thing that we did was sailing. Do you know that is my first first time sailing? I cried because I was scared and I was so nervous but I tried to be a brave girl because my friends cheered for me so I tried the sailing and I tried it  2 times.  No matter for me if I sink in the boat because I have had the best life!!

SO guys thank you for reading my blog post and don't forget my feedback. BYE HAVE A GREAT DAY.
