Nz landmarks

Nz landmarks: A landmark  means a distinguish  place or structure which has historical, cultural or geographical significance. In this blog I am going to talk about some NZ landmarks that I made in Minecraft.

My nz landmarks :  I start this blog with the Sky Tower. The Sky Tower is located in downtown Auckland. It goes upto a massive height of 328 metres. In the sky tower there are many options of activities that you can do . In the sky tower there is a revolving restraunt at the top part of the sky tower where you can eat and enjoy the the view of  the downtown and much of Auckland.  Next time when I make the sky tower I am going to take less time in making it so realistic, because we had so less time to make the harbour bridge and it didn’t come out as good as the sky tower we made so we learned that next time we are not going to make it so realistic and detailed .

My nz landmark 2 : In my nz landmarks 2 I made the Auckland  Harbour bridge the auckland harbour bridge is not only the tallest bridge in the Nz it is also the tenth longest bridge in the whole world . The harbour bridge didn’t took me that much time and is not that realistic and good because I didn’t have much time because of the sky tower that me and my friends made but we did finish it on time  that is a good thing and if you have a app that can make the work a game you should always try it . It really helps a lot and saves a lot of time and make it so much more fun .

Here are some photos of the nz landmarks that me and my friends made :

This week for STEAM we learned about the different ocean zones. I researched and created a labelled diagram of each zone. It had to include a description of the zone’s characteristics, pictures of the animals that live in each zone and a brief description of the zone. There are 5 different zones which include: the sunlight zone (epipelagic), the twilight zone (mesopelagic), the midnight zone (bathypelagic), the abyssal zone (abyssopelagic) and the hadal zone (trenches)

Here is a picture of my Ocean Zone diagram.

For week 2 steam we did the lifecycle of a turtle
