Technological Practices

LI.to use technological practices process to design a toy.

 

For Mrs Fisi’iahi’s Inquiry lesson, we were focusing on the three last technological processes. They were: build, test and evaluate. We used the required materials in order to build the AUV rover. After this, we tested and compared each group’s rover to see which group was able to scramble across the floor the furthest. Evaluating our results was the last step.

I found this activity hard because we needed to think of the issue why our toy wasn't rolling. 

ASB Getwise

LI.to be wise with our money. 

The ASB getwise programme helps kids be smart with money, spend or save money. We played a game in teams with $1800 to go to Fiji on a holiday, and to earn points. We were also able to use the credit card and pay it before added another $100. 

As a group we needed to be wise with our money for passport, flight, accomodation, hotel, travel insurance, and activities. The things we chose for our holiday were paying $200 for passport, $500 for economy flight, $600 5 star hotel with $100 food ticket to cover all meals, $200 for activitiies, and we also added a $300 insurance just in case something happenes.

I enjoyed doing this game because it helps us in the future of how to use money wisly. 

Maths | Museum Trip

LI: To plan a night out that fits within the given budget of $45.00.

Today for maths we had to solve a maths problem of a museum trip. The most efficient strategy that I was using was multiplication because I needed three times for the activities, and the other things. This maths problem had a budget of $45.00 to spend for their trip and we had to see how much money they had left by subtracting the admission, and the activities. I found doing this activity easy because I'm familiar working out with financial capabilities. 

Summary about Money

LI.to create a summary about Money. 

This week , My group created an Summary about money , we first started off by reading about it. We talked about how money was used back in the days , how money was created ? Who created money? What money looked like in ancient times. We then found 20 words that we thought were important from the story , then we chose six most important words, then we created a summary about the text.

The interesting information that I found was about how the original coins were shaped like spades and knives. 

Te Reo Maori Challenge

LI.to translate everyday things into Maori words. 

This week for the seniors Te Reo Challenge David and translated our daily things into Maori. This challenge was to learn new Maori words. To translate these English words we used Maori dictionary and wrote the word then the sentence that match the word. I enjoyed doing this activity because I learnt new words and how to use it in sentences.

Care Awards | What does a positive attitude look like?

Today I have created my second task for my silver attitude. The video I have created tells about why having a positive attitude is important. In this video my partner and I talked about what a positive attitude look like, how people can use it in everyday life,and different opinion and emotion doesn't mean they have a bad attitude. I enjoyed doing this activity because its important for people to have a good attitude everywhere.

A Moment in Time

LI: To use the language features and structure of published poem to help use write our own poem.



We looked at the language features and structure of a poem called ‘A Moment in Time’ and used our experiences from camp to follow the structure and collaboratively create our own moment in time poem.

To describe what we heard, what we saw, how we felt and what we wondered we used our senses, adjectives and adverbs.

Ajectives are words that describes a noun. 

Adverbs are words that describes a verb. 

I found this interesting because I got to use powerful words that made my poem more powerful.
