Hauora

 LI: To draw and label your own Hauora diagram

In order to be able to perform at their best athletes need to have a four walls of the whare tapawha standing. We created this poster to show what each wall represents and why it is important and we aslo had to learn what the four walls means. I found out that an athlete could be better than they could be, whilst making themselves more stable if they ever lose I enjoyed making the poster Because I could see that if all these athletes had these 4 walls they could make themselves better than they already are.

Hauora

 LI: To show our understanding of Hauora in context.

Athletes are trained to be physically and mentally fit because it helps their body and their mind accomplish more by pushing their limits. 

Having all 4 walls of your whare tapa wha is important so you can feel balanced, if your whare tapa wha is down you will feel unbalance and it will be easier to lose focus and it makes you feel nervous, but as long as your whare tapa wha is balanced you will feel proud of yourself even if you lose because losing is a good thing because you can train more and not make that mistake again.

If you win you will feel accomplished and feel happy with all the hard work you have put in to your training it will help you feel successful when you have won.

Mindfulness reflection

LI: to understand the definition of mindfulness. 

Mindfulness is relaxing your body, and having a calm mindset. Mindfulness discriminates against all the negative emotions going throughout your mind. This makes us more engaged in our learning and the things we are doing.  

Today we had a session in LS2 about mindfulness. To relax our minds and bodies we took a few minutes to breathe in and out. This helped us clear our heads and clear our thoughts. It is treated as a taonga ( with a level of respect ).

Matariki Brochure

 LI. Create a brochure about Matariki         Outside brochure

Inside brochure 

Matariki is the Maori new year celebration. It takes places each year when the cluster of stars known as Matariki are seen in our skies. The new year is a time for new beginnings and is a time to embrace tradition. To share our research with people we have created a brochure about what each star represents, how we can celebrate Matariki, what it is, and how we can celebrate the Matariki. 

Something I found interesting was that I am able to show what Matariki is to people who doesn't understand it and i enjoy it beacuse it is a give us exmple about what we wirte about matariki in a brochure.

Matariki

LI:To strengthen our connections to Matariki.

Matariki is the Maori new year celebration. It takes places each year when the cluster of stars known as Matariki are seen in our skies. The new year is a time for new beginnings and is a time to embrace tradition.To strengthen our connections to Matariki we had a choice of research activities.

Coding in python

L.I : To Learn how to code the Microbot in the Phyton.

 Here is an example of the buttons,  the main thing to notice is "def" which is defining what the on_button_pressed will make the microbot do. Again this has a top and bottom so the content has to go insde it. 

   

The first one image shows the Phyton coding for the flashing hearts code that I made. It flashes between a small heart icon and a large heart Icon. The diference between python coding is that block coding uses blocks and python coding uses text that you have to type down

Vision Board

 LI:To to show my goals by creating a Vision Board

My vision board shows the goals that are important to me. I am working hard to achive higher levels in Maths and Inquiry and have shown this with a picture of a trophy. My culture is important beacuse it represents where I belong. My vision is to have no bulling in schools and encourage storng firendships. I will apply the learning process to achieve my goals.

Kindness

LI:To edit our writing using Draft  

Today we worked in pairs and created an abstract noun poem  to show what kindness means. When our poem was complete we used DRAFT to check our work and make it more powerful to read.

DRAFT means:  Delete , Rearrange, Add , Fix, Talk

In our poem we used the Five senses which are taste, smell, hear,  touch, feel and see .
We checked for correct punctuation including capital letters, full stops and commas.

An abstract noun is one that refers to an idea, quality or state that you cannot touch , see or hear.

 My partner and I enjoyed this task because it help us to get more information about kindness and help learn how to be kind.

 

Rock paper scissons

2. I have to make a variable called hand and set this to the random number.

3. If the number is 1 - the microbit will show the symbol for paper

4. If the number is 2 - the microbit will show the symbol for rock

Life

 LI:To write a Abstract noun senses poem

An abstract noun refers to an idea, quality or state that you can't see, hear, touch or smell. 

For example: Life looks like a busy street bustling with people beginging their day.

A metaphor is comparing two things, saying one thing is the other without using 'like' or 'as'.

for example Happiness is rhe sun rising in my heart.

Forming an Opinion

 LI: to consider both perspectives.

To continue our learning of Matariki, and the Maori story of Creation our task was to create a DLO to explain the evidence and perspective of a maori story. We read about Sacred Spots from Māori Mythology. We used the different evidence from the articles to create an opinion on whether we think it is true or false.The story we chose to do was about the Tongariro National Park. This story talked about the mountains that surrounded Taupo lake, they were all male except for one. Her name was Pihanga. They fought for the love of Pihanga, only one came out victorious. That mountain was Tongariro. 

Main ideas

 LI: to identify the main ideas in the text.

To continue our learning of Matariki, and the Maori story of Creation our task was to create a DLO explaining the main ideas of the story of how maui slowed the sun. We watched a video explaining the story of how maui slowed the sun and why.

Maui and the villagers weren’t able to finish off their tasks during the day because the sun went by too fast. They got sick of it so maui and his brother made a plan to slow the sun. They used flax ropes and he magical jawbone Maui was given by his grandmother. 

i like this actviete because it helps the students with their Maine Ideas to talk more infromation about how maui slowed the sun

Descriptive

LI: To understand how to use descriptive words to make your writing more interesting.

Our task was to describe one of the two pictures that we were given. To make this task easier we would use our prior knowledge of sentence structures, nouns, verbs, adjectives, and descriptive words to create a piece of writing that uses descriptive words to make the text exciting to read. I found this interesting DLO because it help the student and aslo makes facts about the trutle and also helps students that need help to learn and get more information about the Barn.

Wedge

LI: To find the information for simple machines. 

We collaborated in our group to find information about simple machines. There are 6 simple machines. They are, wheel and axle, screw, wedge, pulley, lever, and an inclined plane. Our challenge was to create labelled diagrams. Using the information and facts we found we created a 25 word summary for each simple machine. A wedge is a simple machine that is used to push things apart

Lever

 LI: To find the information for simple machines. 

 

 We collaborated in our group to find information about simple machines. There are 6 simple machines. They are, wheel and axle, screw, wedge, pulley, lever, and an inclined plane. Our challenge was to create labelled diagrams. Using the information and facts we found we created a 25 word summary for each simple machine. The lever consists of 3 main parts, Effort, Load and Pivot. Depending on how heavy the object is, the lever would go up (side where the lightest object is) or down (side where the heaviest object is.

Screw

 

 LI: to find the information about simple machine
