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.

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.

I found out that matariki is a maori year that pepole that speaks their language

i enjoy it beacuse it says more information about matariki and how they been created in this world

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.

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

 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 screw or another word for nail is a round sharp point metal pin that screws things in.

Simple Machine

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 very fun because we have been given the chance to create our designs and make tests and evaluations. The results are in the DLO.

Toys

LI: To strengthen connections to technology.

We have been learning about technological practice.  This week we have been learning about the 6 processes of Technological Design and how each one is important in the process of designing a product.

We are using the processes of technological practices to  design and build a rubber band- powered rover that can scramble across the floor.

inquiry

LI: To decide which political party will get your vote by making an informed choice

     

I would vote for I read a summary of the policies each party wants to introduce should they win the election and the right to form a government to run NZ. Doing this allowed me to make an informed decision. If I was 18 I would vote for Labour because they want to help young people achieve success. This means if Labour Won the election in my electorate Jenny Salesa would be our member of parliament and Jacinda Arden would become the Prime Minister. I found it interesting learning about the different party policies.

 

Hauora

LI: To reflect the Connections i have to Hauora

This DLO show us about Hauora this is My Connections about the connections i have to Hauora and others around me while i am  thinking about Hauora i know Hauora is the Maori belief of health that is unique  to New Zealand . I have written all the connections i have and my family to Hauora and what we think about and what Hauora and its fours walls to us So that my famliy can talk about Hauora in a information about more.

Making Connections to problem solving

Explore to Making Connections to problem solving 

Ls 2 and Ls 1 were making Tangrams and trying to solve a problem what is Problem solving Problem solving is when you try to communicate by (working together ) and listened to Follow instructions So the  simple instructions  we were given on  how to create an ancient  Chinese   Tangram puzzels and problem solve .  We used  one piece  of AV paper and  we used scissors to cut  our paper to  create   our Tangram puzzel  and  I and Wairaka from LS1  collaborated together and communicated together to try and problem solve our Tangrams puzzle to make  different kind of animals . Me and Wairaka found making animals out of our Tangram puzzle hard until we asked  each other for helped and  we communicated by asking question by asking why is this puzzle different to each others . I  and Wairaka  managed to make a cat and a duck out of our Tangram puzzels   by asking for each other for help and working together as a team  . 

Periscopes

LI: to explain how Periscopes work.

Mr Johnston came and taught us what Periscopes are ,how they are used and who uses them. we found out the that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection that means if the light hits the mirror at 45 degrees it reflects the light back at 45 degrees it was fun because  we learn more about how do Periscopes work

Explorer & Adventurer

LI To learn the difference between Explorers and Adventurers

For Inquiry we made a Venn Diagram sorting people out if they are an Explorer or an Adventurer. There was also place for people i though were both an Explorer and a Adventurer. It was fun searching and learning about these  awesome people like Amelia Earhart,Zheng He,Takuya Onishi many other amazing people.

Places Named By Early Explorers

 This week in Inquiry, our topic was Early Explorers. We created a google slide about the places that were named by Kupe, Captain James Cook and Abel Tasman. We also created a map of where these places took place. I worked with Ellenora and RJ. What I found interesting was that I learnt about places that I didn't know about.

Coffee Shop

LI: to balance supply and demand for a profit.
 This week for inquiry we were learning about supply and demand for a profit. we played a game called coffee shop it when you sell money with coffee to sell coffee with money to buy ingredients for your customers Then We had to take a screen shot of the ingredients and days we only have 14 days to sell coffee.

foodprint

Rube Goldberg

LI: To make a working Rube Goldberg machine using the six simple machines

For our rube Goldberg machines our challenge was to role a dice. I had to use the incline plain and the pulley. When my group started to build, we started of with two incline plains then we had a pulley with two cups. One had cubes in it and one had dices on the other side. Then we started testing

 it. We started with John rolling a spare on a long with the spare hitting my hand to roll a cylinder. When the cylinder hits Jarome's hand, he tips out the cubes in the cup then the dices in the cup will drop the the ground and the dice will be coming out rolling. What we would do differently is change the pulley into a wedge.
