Great Walks of NZ! 🤗🇳🇿

This is my Great Walks slide for our Current Events quiz. We did the quiz with Miss Farr. Green house got 14 points and tied first place with Blue House. 

We had to research the 10 great walks in 45 minutes. 45 MINUTES! This may sound like a lot, but it sure isn't. We also had free time on the line. If everyone had finished their slides, we could all choose what we wanted to do for the next blocks. I just finished in time, but other people hadn't.

I enjoyed looking at the fake pictures of the tracks because they were prettier than the real ones. The hardest part would definitely have to be posting this on time because there was so much PRESSURE! To be BTB, better than before, I could have added more to my writing.

Careers

This is my writing for Careers and Literacy. I had to read an article and then pick 5 jobs. I chose Medical Doctor, Year 1 to 13 Teacher, Dentist, Veterinarian, and Chef. 

I enjoyed looking for jobs. The hardest part was writing more than I wanted to write. To be BTB, I could have added more to my writing.

1. Medical Doctor

What is it? A doctor who works to maintain, restore or boost health. They treat and diagnose injuries and diseases.

Facts Why: Everywhere, there is a shortage of doctors. We now need a lot more because of Covid, and the doctors we already have are working 24/7. Being a doctor also pays well, with a median salary of around $92,00.

What has changed since 2019? Covid. We need a lot more doctors to care for not only people with Covid/Covid Symptoms but also for people that are just hurt or sick.

2. Year 1 to 13 Teacher

What is it? A person who teaches children from 5 to 18.

Facts Why: We have a huge shortage of teachers. Although Media is saying that teachers are underpaid, data shows that their starting salary is reasonable. Also, many teachers are satisfied and happy with their day-to-day routine.

What has changed since 2019? A lot of teachers are working online now because of Covid.

3. Dentist

What is it? A person who works around mouths and teeth. They are feared by a lot of kids.

Facts Why: We always need people to care for our teeth and mouths. They are also paid very well.

What has changed since 2019? Not much. Kids are still afraid of getting their teeth pulled out.

4. Veterinarian

What is it? A person who works to help, heal and care for animals. They are like a doctor except for animals.

Facts Why: There has been a reported shortage of vets across the country. Vets are also paid well, and normally do what they do because they enjoy it.

What has changed since 2019? Not much. People are still taking their pets to the vet, and everything is running smoothly so far.

5. Chef

What is it? A person who cooks meals for other people in public places, eg, a restaurant.

Facts Why: You can cook food for people, and normally if you become a chef, it is because you enjoy cooking. It is also a well paid job, and you can travel a lot of places.

What has changed since 2019? People will be more likely to eat out now that covid has died down a bit, or in other countries, people will be less likely to eat out because Covid is still large.

You Went Where

This is my You Went Where slide from a year ago that I forgot to blog. ;w;  I had to choose a place and write about it from the day point of view and the night point of view. I had been to Lake Brunner the previous weekend, so I wrote about that.

The hardest part was changing from the day to the night without making a new paragraph. My favorite part was putting in the backgrounds. To be BTB, I could have made my writing longer, but this was me a year ago.  

Electricity

This is my energy inquiry. I had to choose something to do with energy then make a informative slide and a creative thing to do with whatever our topic was. We could work in pairs, but I didn't, so it made it harder. I chose to do electricity because I wanted to make a bike-powered charger, but I didn't have enough time. The first topic I chose was Hydro-energy, but it was too hard to create a thing explaining/showing what Hydro-energy was. 

The hardest part was reading it out to the class because I'm not really good at that stuff. To be BTB, I could have made my slide more interesting. I wanted to draw something to do with electricity and how it worked, but I couldn't think of anything.
