Stop Motion Animation

This week we have been learning how we can use Stop Motion Animation as  a way to share our learning. Taioalo, Genesis, Takepo and Poasa created a short clip about putting our rubbish into the correct bins.

Thermohaline Ocean Currents and Thinglink


We've been busy learning about Marine Habitats, Marine Life and have been on our first virtual field trip with LEARNZ. We learnt a lot about harbours and estuaries.

This is Aizizha's thinglink about thermohaline currents.




McCahon has been using Thinglink for our learning, it's awesome! And you can add so much of your work into only one interactive image.
We have also been learning about Ocean Currents. This is what we have found-
  • Cold, salty water is denser and heavier than warm or cold freshwater.
  • That surface tension is the thing that holds small insects that can walk on water.
  • We have also found a word which is Thermohaline it means currents caused by salt and temperature.
