Hi or hello everyone today I wanted to show you a project I spent a long time on.

What is the project?

For this project, our teacher told us to research an Indigenous group. Our group researched and analyzed the Haida nation’s culture, traditions, language, conflict, and history.

Why is learning more about various Indigenous communities important? 

I think learning about various Indigenous communities is important because we need to learn more about them and their history. After all, the Europies stole the land of Canda from the Indigenous communities.

 

What makes my Indigenous community unique/diverse?

What makes Haidas unique/diverse is that the Haidas group is split into 2 groups. The names of the 2 groups are Raven and Eagle. In the Eagle and Raven group, each household lives 30 to 40, and a chief oversees each house. Every chief owns a nice, large home that hundreds of people can live in. Those houses are also homes to slaves. Some chiefs could also be used as war chiefs if something bad happens, or there is a conflict.

 

10 new facts I learned about my Indigenous community 

1. Instead of Haida children going to school children watch their parents dance but parents don’t just dance they teach stories when they dance and sing.
2. The Haidas group had a celebration called Potlatch. The Potlatch is a big celebration that means to give. The Potlatch is not like a normal party, at the Potlatch the host gives the guest gifts instead of the guests giving the host gifts.
3. The Haida group lived on Haida Gwaii for at least 6000 to 8000 years.
4. The Haida made regular trade with the Spanish, British, Russian, and American whalers and fur traders.
5. The most significant story in the Haidas culture is about a Raven but the story is not just about a Raven it is about how the Raven disguised himself to enter the house of the Sky Chief, from whom he stole the sun, moon, and stars to give to humankind.” (Mythology and Crests).
6. The Haida live in shelters built on the water. With that water, they use it to drink and eat the fish that live in the water. In the summer they build houses out of cedar trees. The Haida also used cedar trees for canoes and boats to travel to different islands.
7. In the Haida group, the women took care of the easier jobs, and the men took the harder jobs. The women made food, baskets, clothing, and more. The men made carvings and painted them. Then, both women and men collected shellfish and hunted birds.
8. The Haida community speaks English and a native language called Xaad kil. In the year 2016, 445 people spoke Xaad kil in the world and only a bit spoke fluently.
9. The Haida tribe mainly lives on the coastal bay of Haida Gwaii in British Columbia. Haida Gwaii is a group of islands containing about 150 islands in a sword-like shape that is 250 km long. Haida Gwaii is one of the most isolated islands in Canada. It was formed by huge plates moving under the Pacific Ocean from the south to their present location.
10. All the native mammals and the 3 types of birds are especially unique. Unfortunately, raccoons and squirrels are becoming a threat to many of the unique seabirds that live there.

 

What else would I like to learn about Indigenous communities?

Something else I would like to learn more about in Indigenous communities is the stories they teach their kids because I find the stories very interesting in my opinion.

Hi or hello,

Welcome back or welcome to Animal Lover’s blog! Today I wanted to start with sharing with you about my innovation day experience. By the way if I talk about my partner I am not speaking for them I am just talking about the experience I had with them.

My innovation day experience was very fun but to be honest also really stressful at the same time. During innovation day my and my partner were fasted with multiple problems involving the lights. We didn’t know what happened because the first time a light was being finicky, me and my partner found the problem but for the second and third time we could not find the problem. Only after what felt like forever we fixed it we still are not sure what happened. Even though it was hard I pushed through it and had a good time. Me and my partner did not win but that did not ruin our spirits. 

This is a picture of our build:

The name of our build is “Galactic Plinko”

Bye and have a good day or night

Pour la fête de Pourim, je me suis habillée comme Eeyore parce que mes amies et moi voulons avoir des costumes en groupe.

 

C’est moi!

 

Le costume que j’ai vu ce matin que j’aime le plus est celle de Tal. C’est mon préférée car c’est Winne the Pooh!

Hi everyone,

Sorry I haven’t posted in a little while but I want to tell you guys about my first Social Studies semester. So here we go.

This term in Social Studies we learned about Canadian identity. We explored diversity among the provinces, national symbols, and international organizations that Canada plays a role in. 

What makes Canada diverse?

The diverse country, Canada, is full of all different kinds of culture and people. The Canadian country’s national languages are English and French. The lovely thing about all the different cultures is that you get to see their holidays or taste the food of the culture. Diversity can affect a community by adding. For example when Chinese people came to Canada they didn’t just come they burned their culture so now we have Chinese restaurants  but not just the people it’s also the provinces and territories.

 For example Ontario cities are more modern and squished but the cities in Nunavut are not as modern and this is more space. Another example is BC colder, relatively dry winters and hot, dry summers but in Manatoba moderately dry climate with sharp seasonal temperature changes. Winter’s temperatures are about −40 °F (−40 °C). 

In Alberta the more common job is farming but in PEI fishing is a more common job. Nunavut is in the North but Saskatchewan is in the South. BC is in the west but Quebec is in the East. The major cities in Canada are Ottawa the capital city, Toronto the biggest city in Canada and more.

The End

Hi or hello everyone and today I will be showing my all about me project. Here is a picture of it.

 

Hi and hello everyone!

 

Today I just wanted to share something about my innovation project.

 

Here is my project:

My project is a greenhouse that is powered by a water wheel. In the greenhouse there are real plants. The water wheel powers lights in the greenhouse to help the plants grow.

And thats everything I wanted to share with you.

Have a good day,

BYE!

Hi everyone,

So I’ve be doing Innovation day about the medival times. I was asked to make a castle with a working drawbridge. The Medieval times were about 10 centuries ago. At this time there was a system in place that put people in order of powers. I researched about the Lords and Serfs. The King and Lords lived in castles.

This is the difference of Lords and Serfs:

 

The Lords
Lords could do what ever they wanted. Lords were rich they lived in big and beautiful house. They also had servants. They wore lovly clothes all day. They owned the land that the Serfs used. They got to learn.

The Serfs
Serfs were poor peolpe. They wore riped and old clothes. They had to work all day on the land that the Lords owned. They lived in smal mud and straw houses. They did not get to learn and they were treated very badly.

Here are some facts about castles:

• Did you know that they stored water in the walls of the castle?
• Did you know that the king and his family were the only ones that slept in the castle?
• Did you know that some times there would be villages in the castles walls. This would be for protection.
• Did you know that there were holes in the castle called arrowslits that archer used?
• Did you know that there were a lot of walls in the castle?
• Did you know that the servents slept were ever but not the bedrooms?

Hypothesis:

(I am so sorry that the vidoe is very glitchy and wird it hapend with all the videos.)

So this is how my castle looked during the building process:

 

This is my gear and pulley system:

 

This is my procedure for my castle:

 

This is my tour of my finshed castle:

 

Self reflecting :

This is my building process. I started with just thinking only about a pulley system but if I wanted to upgrade it to the next level I had to add a gear system.  I tried lots of ideas but none of them worked. Ms.M was my thinking partner and she saw that I was having a problem with my gear system.

This how I problem solve:

I started with just getting one gear sticked to the casle wall. But I quickly realized it needed an axel to spin. I then started geting a big problem with the rope. It would fall off a lot. So I invented the flap to help the rope stay on the gear. That’s how we problem solve and it worked!

Conclusion

In real life lifting a heavy a bridge with a rope would be impossible with gears. Gear make make heavy lifting easier and faster.
