My weekly Reflection

THis week have made video for weekly reflection:link

My Weekly News:Prince George off to school

so this year Prince george goes to a school that cost 10,647NZD a term.So the duke duchess of cambridge decided.So the school is called Thomas’s in Battersea. So the last went to was Westacre Montessori nursery which costed $10 a hour.

my opinion is It is a joke because next year a high school that cost $15,000 a year and so $10,000 a term is a joke for a little kid.

The other I was doing a story for work and so I forgot to edit the story so after I edited and now it looks much better.

edited

One fine I was working on my new robotic crab I realised that clock was broken.So I grabbed my screwdriver and took the back off and put battery in,then put  the screen back on.Then it told me it was time to go home so I walk out into the amazon and got stung by a giant bee that was so big that I fainted.When I woke up there was a baby turtle in my face so went to the vet and handed it in.They then told me that I could name it and so I named it sir greeninham.

My weekly news:World’s oldest crocodile eggs found

The world's oldest croc egg has been found in Portugal.So I Think that about 150 millions year a mother croc laid an egg and so a slow a mountain must of formed around.they were wal preserved eggs.They also are similar size and shape.

I reckon it is pretty awesome that they have a dinosaur old egg.I Think I would not be alive and it mother would not be happy.I think that maybe the reason it lasted so long was it was in the mountain.found at kiwi kid new

how has the egg not been found in millions of years?

palaeontologists is a fossil researcher.insight is know more about something.Sarcosuchus is an extinct genus of crocodyliform and distant relative of living crocodilians that lived 112 million years ago.

                    

My IE ideas

• What is it I hope I will come to understand more deeply through this inquiry?How the Moriori lived before they invade by the Taranaki Maoris and why they live by a lore the pretty much killed them all.
• What knowledge might I need to help move towards this understanding?How and where the Moriori live and why the Maori wanted to invade them.
• What is it I hope to be able to do more competently?  (skills)Patience because this all happened when there was no computers so I have a lot more research and that true research is harder to find from the 16-18 century.
• What learning powers will this inquiry help me practice and develop further?  (Explain this)Resilience because It is really hard to find information for the 16-18 because there were no computer to write down on. Curiosity because I need to be curious to find want and why the Morioris died,How they lived in the past and Is there any Morioris left.
