Some blogging rules need to be followed :

Remember your audience. You have people who are genuinely interested in the way you are showcasing your learning. Your sentences need to be well constructed and you need to remember to punctuate them! Being good communicators is essential.

Try not to write the way you speak. Organize your ideas before you start typing away.
 I know you can do it :)

hi my bloggers

Today we had our metting and we are going to be interviewed tommorow so we are thinking about what they are going to ask.we think that they might say "what is a exhibition?" so we got time to think what is global warming .we thought of everything and ended up having a great explanation on why is global warming happening .

mentor meeting by katie

Today we had our mentor meeting and mrs.Mungaro came to our mentor meeting to inform us about an interveiw we are having tomorrow by the people for the standard and people are coming from ktn which are the kenyan newspaper and a kenyan tv news channel and that is how Vivian is answering her line of inquiry that she was given to research about. Her line of inquiry was making man aware of ice caps and so she has answered it by inviting these people to interview us tomorrow.

Students setting up their stand



The students have been working on their title. Lots of fun and laughter. But at times I have to keep pushing them to get back on track! Hmm...

So our title which you, good reader, will see shortly, is giving us heaps of problems. Should we use blue manila, cotton, foam.....

Keep reading! :)

Count down to Exhibition

A few days left before the buzz starts!

This is the time to check our understanding of the central idea and to see whether we are able to confidently talk about the lines of inquiry.
A good website : http://www.koshland-science-museum.org/exhibitgcc/index.jsp

We have spoken with Mr Lowe and talked about how we are going to set up our stand and what are they things we will be needing. 
Sounds exciting!

Letter from a parent

Dear Naini,

How are you doing? I wanted to get in touch with you for quite a while but always something else cropped up and then the day was gone...
Vivian told me so often how much fun she has with the group and that you are 'such a great mentor with many cool sites to do stuff'!!!

I just wanted to check with you if there's anything else the kids need to do to make this exhibition a success? I felt along the way that the time allocated this year was a little short, and I am wondering if the group will be able to present a real special exhibition. This morning I saw the letter one Year 6 group had sent out to collect medicines and that they will use these during the exhibition to show how proper waste disposal should be done.

I know, we cannot 'carry icecaps to Kenya' to make the exhibition a memorable experience, but is there anything else they could do to make the presentation special? Could they perhaps do some iceberg props with Al or create a short play around the topic?

These are just some thoughts and I hope I didn't 'involve myself' beyond the limit that parents are allowed to :-)

Have a wonderful day, Naini, and thanks for mentoring this group so nicely!

Present at meeting:

Saskia, Vivian, Caleb and  two Year 10 MYP students.

Today's meeting was fun! We got hold of two students from senior school who were on their was to Mozambique to participate in a global conference. Our aim was to to find out how they could contribute to our research. The students asked them many questions and exchange skype amd email addresses so that they could keep in touch if the need arose. We hope the students will come back with a lot of information.

Caleb took a few minutes to teach his team members about  Glogging and every member is supposed to Glog about one inquiry line each. This would be a fromative assessment where we will analyse how their understanding of the line of inquiry is reflected through this visual poster.

this is the result of when we as humans interfere with the penguin habitat, due to the melting of the ice caps.

Hey Hey Bloggers

 Today in our meeting we were all in question time it was our turn to take the initiative and see what we can find out from many different people. So in our meeting  our amazing mentor has brought to us yet another opportunity for us to find out more, when two students from our school are traveling to Mozambique and the two girls Amira and Keshni came to us and we were just told to ask questions about our topic the polar ice caps and we asked if they could find out things for us, like how much pollution is Mozambique causing so that we can give data in our presentation. We must Skype with them because because by the time they get back it may be past our exhibition. Our group will inform you on what data we get.

Hi my bloggers.

Tomorrow is another meeting and I have got so many ideas you will not believe it--I will post all that we have done tomorrow.
Exhibition is 2 weeks away and we have given each other tasks to get done quicker.One of mine was to get ideas on how to make man aware of the polar ice caps melting which is one of our lines of inquiry.I am planning on putting an article in our local newspapers I will get that confirmed by tomorrow.For now I got a very touching video really showing people the bad we have done to ice caps and what we can do to change it,What I learned from this video is that it's not only global warming that is melting the ice caps, yes it is the most percentage to why this is happening but ice caps also melt naturally.Please watch the video and tell me your views.
Thanks
Vivian

Someone made this individually but it definitely has got true facts.Watch creafully!
