This week, we have been making fact sheets for each line of inquiry we wrote and answered. So far I have done 2 fact sheet but we still need to read over the text and see if it makes sense. We have also been writing poems for our issue. We are not allowed to write acrostic poems because there to easy. I am stuck on writing a poem but I hope 🤞 I will think 💭 of one soon.

We have nearly finished our dance. You might know what our story is but for people who don’t know, it is heat vs cold. We just need to finish the ending and video it.

We have been making posters in art and making music for the exhibition in music. We haven’t started making the music since we had other things like ICAS so we will be starting soon. I can’t wait to start 😀.

Finding out

This week, when I was finding out, I found out that I didn’t have a primary source, so my teacher gave me one since he knows lots of people. I wrote my letter a few days ago, so our teacher could email him. On the email, we wrote questions that we couldn’t find the answer but we haven’t received a email back yet. My other sources were some websites like WWF and National Geographic. WWF had lots of information because it is about animals and one of my questions was “why are animals dying” and “how is climate change effecting animals”. Besides using using the iPads, I also used books to find out information like what is climate change or what are greenhouse gases.

Sorting out

We have also been sorting out. Sorting out is when we sort out our information into information we need and information we don’t need. My sorting out went ok but I didn’t get a lot done because I hadn’t answered all my questions.

Going Further

When I finished sorting out, we went on with going further. Going further is when we finish sorting out and see if we have anything that we didn’t answer. I realised that I hadn’t answer all my questions, so I went to websites and books to find out more. I am hoping to find out more next week or when I get home for independent study.

During tuning in for exhibition, we wrote our lines of inquiry, central idea, essential agreement and the know, think, want to know.

My lines of inquiry are an inquiry into climate change patterns, an inquiry into what causes climate change, and an inquiry into how climate change effect things.

I think you heard that my central idea was going to be communities struggle when change occurs, but I changed it to progress impacts communities.

I had to write my essential agreement with my partner and then we had to sign it so it stays like that. The know, think, want to know is when we write the things that I know, the things I want to know and the things I want to know. We wrote the want to know one in a lotus diagram so we could create our lines of inquiry.

We also looked at the approaches to learning, Key concepts and the PYP calendar. In the calendar, we had to write our goals for that day and the driving question for the next lesson.

For the approaches to learning, we used it to write our essential agreement, and it was very useful. The key concept is to help us arrange the questions into different sections and help us write our line of inquiry.

I have to really challenge myself.

This week, we have been continuing with our research. I am on to the last line of inquiry but I still have to e-mail my primary source. I have searched a lot, but most of the information I found was on the iPad. I also got some books from the library, but it was not much. Some questions are hard to answer because there is not always the answer on one site, so I learnt tat you have to look through multiple site to find answers. I have also worked on it at home for independent study since we get to take our iPad home now. I hope I can answer some more questions.

1. For our primary source, we couldn’t find one at first, but our teacher told us a person that we could e – mail so we are writing a letter on word to give to our teacher.

We have also chosen our dance for PE (finally) and we are doing a dance fight and it was heat vs cool. It was Patrick’s idea but Indy added some bits. I hope 🤞 we can start our choreography next week.
