Something i learnt about doing this activity was to be creative and make my own comic book .

SLJ Week 1 Activity 1

LI: To collect materials needed to successfully complete our weekly superpower building missions with Nano Girl.

This morning LS2 worked in groups with the Year 4 students to help them create their first Summer Learning Journey blog posts. PBS are still at school this week so finding some of the materials we needed for our treasure hunt was easy. Our challenge is going to be able to find all the materials we need at home now. Sakshi and I created the screencastify which explains the activity in more detail. I found intesting that its a surprise that we dont know what we are making. I am looking forward to make some cool experiments with the materials we have collected. What are you looking forward with this activity?

Operation Christmas Drop

LI: To write a summary of the story behind the Operation Christmas Drop in your own words.

This week for research  we learned about the operation christmas drop. For the last 68 years the men and women of the US air force who are based at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam have been using a pilot training drill to drop much needed supplies to the people who live on the 60 remote islands that surround Guam. Operation Christmas Drop allows the people living in these remote islands to sustain a better life and the communities to flourish. I think this is a great way to help others and make a difference in peoples lives. The people living on the islands are really grateful and happy to receive the Christmas Drop.

Digital Board Game

LI: To create a digital board game for the juniors
                                           

This  year we designed digital board games with a Christmas theme to play with the junior students.

For this week's art lesson, LS2 and Room 5 learned about experimenting with colours. We learned by playing on a website called the Art Coloring Book, One of the arts that I decided to pick and play around with was the Moon Masque, This art design was created by Adolf Born. I really enjoy playing around with images and picking different colours that I think will suit with this image. We started off by playing the task called Kick Start. Kick Start is one of the tasks to help us understand

Te Whanau Raukura Performance

 LI.. Te Whanau Raukura Performance

Today we went to the hall to see Te Whanau Raukura perform. They showed us many skills that we didn't know. It was fun to see the performance and it was interesting. They showed us the meaning behind some Maori items. They came to our class and answered our questions, as we played a game called pukana and it was interesting. I really enjoyed it.

Exploring our national current events

LI: To identify author’s purpose.

These reasons are to persuade, inform or entertain (PIE). Each day, newspaper editors around the world must make decisions about which stories they will run when we explored the different types of current events that are happening in New Zealand, thought about why the story made the news and plotted the location on a google map. For the current events i collaborated with Haylee , Sakina , Azatulah and Leroy we asked questions and combined our ideas together to create our national current events and we strolled through kiwi kids news and other news websites to get more information that links to the 12 information of the news we had to complete . Something i found interesting was working with others i dont know and getting the help i needed .

Provocation: Should masks be compulsory on NZ public transport?

 LI: To identify and consider the two perspectives of this provocation to help me form an opinion.

My DLO above shows should mask  be compulsory  in NZ public transport and why . I worked collaborative with Pouvi and we discussed our thinking so we can put all our thinking together and create a DLO that shows others about ,our thinking and learning and how we can keep each other safe from Covid-19 , Something i found interesting was hearing about other peoples thinking and that made me more confident about sharing my ideas and my learning . I think how to keep other people safe is by hand sanitising and wear a mask if you are sick so you dont spread your germs aroudn to other people . 

 

The embarrassment

LI .To identify the  main idea in the poem                                                                                                                                                                    Today we make a DLO about the embarrassment and and write about it and we write about the  main idea of the  embarrassment and we get  the information from the story and add  more words to understand the poem and how the poem made sense.I liked that they showed us secret techniques to hide your embarrassment. 

Maths strategy (Lasagne)

 L.I: To explain how we solved out maths equations.

For Maths we worked in mixed math groups to practice our team skills and to help us explain how we solved these word problems. The topic of these word problems were about Metric Measurements, which was more specifically about weight and mass. The word problem was about the ingredients and the weight of these ingredients. We had to find the weight of the missing ingredient by adding up the weight of the ingredients we knew, and subtracting it from the weight of the whole food.

Rocket Science

L.I:  To figure out how to make a straw rocket                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

Today we built a rocket with straws and tube and we practised how to launch it. The materials that we used were straws, tape and some paper and then used all of those materials to make the straw rocket. After we made it we got into a row and blew our straw rocket and check how far it went.

Why is it important to use CARE Values ?

 LI: To write an explanation using TEEL paragraphs

This week we have been revising explanation writing. Next week is our assessment week so we did this collaborative challenge to remind ourselves what is needed when we write explanations. We found it interesting the way the paragraphs all connected at the end and you could see the links between the ideas.

The screencastify link of us reading our explanation can be found here:

What is Inertia

 LI: To make  DLO what is a Inertia 

 

This week for inquiry we have been learning about inertia. We created a DLO talking about what the different types of inertia was and made written some examples. I worked with Victoria, Lily, and Afatia to get this completed. I enjoyed doing this DLO as I was able to collaborate with my class mates.

Who would I vote for?

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

To decide which political party 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 are helping with learning support in schools This means if Labour won the election in my electorate Jenny Salesa would be our member of parliament and Jacinda Adern would stay as our Prime Minister.

I liked this activity because we learnt how to make an informed choice and we could choose who ever we wanted.

Why is it important to make wise choices?

LI: To write an explanation

How many times did you throw rubbish and did not care what might happen to the sea creatures?

It is important to think about where we put our rubbish because some  rubbish ends up in the sea. Many sea creatures are dying  just because people are being careless. The ocean will be full of rubbish and sea creatures will eat the plastic because they think it is their food.  An example is our seabirds who often end up with plastic on their beaks and are not able to breathe. 

How many sea creatures have people killed by doing this? Stop throwing your rubbish on the ground! 

This is my explanation that tells other people why it is important to make wise choices when they throw away their rubbish. I wrote this after planning my ideas and thinking about what what questions I could ask that would make the people reading this think about the choices they make.

Tech. science with Mrs sharma

 LI.To identify the different types and uses of plastic.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

                                                                                       

 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     For this week the year 7's learning about Plastic, We also learned about Plastic, material, wood, paper and metal which helps us learn and understand our learning. We also played an activity that will give us more information on plastic. The most interesting fact that I learnt was that every year 17 billion rubbish gets thrown away in the ocean.

Certificate | Fri, 18 Sep

This week we had our weekly assembly on Fridays. This week 2 people from my class has been given a certificate. I am one of those 2 people. The certificate I have received was a certificate for being confident while talking in learning. I think I do a good job and try my best in learning. 

Time

 LI. To work out the elapsed time               

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

Today for maths our group used the maths clocks to help us work out the answer to the elapsed time questions. Elapsed means the time has gone by. I worked with my buddy Afa and we got most of our work done. The thing I learnt about today as I was doing maths is that you can read it in different types of ways.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

Sunflower Painting

 LI: To paint a still life of sunflowers in the style of Vincent Van Gogh.

In this DLO above, I have learnt to draw what I see and make use of all the space available. To get the different shades I mixed colours to make light and dark tones of the same colour. I learnt to use layers of paint to build the colours and I had to remember not to overload the brush with paint. I dabbed the brush and thought carefully about brush stroke direction to create sharp edges and lines. I really liked painting my sunflowers because it was fun and we had to use different layers and colours.

It's cool to be me

 LI: To identify my own qualities

This DLO shows you why it's cool to be me! I have written about my friends and myself, my favourite things to do and what my goals are. I think it's great to be me because I'm important to the people in my world.

MRS C GREN

 LI: To understand the meaning behind the acronym MRSCGREN

Today we made a DLO about mrs c gren and we worked in group. I worked with Ong, Lukah, and Sakshi and came to learn many new words. Mrs. C Gren stands for movement, respiration, sensitivity, cells, growth, reproduction, excretion and nutrition. We also made a drawing telling the life cycle of a sunflower. 

Tech: Science and STEAM

LI: to  identify what we know about science.

Today was  our first time going to science and we learnt about the names of the equipment and about what the equipment does. We talked about what science is and what part science we enjoy learning about. Mrs Sharma asked us to write a question about one thing we wanted to know more about in science. I want to find out why science is full of experiments?

Duff books in school .

Today we got 2 new duffy books and I was so happy to get my duffy books because I would ge to read them at home. The 2 books I chose were The homeless Kitten and The Ice Enchantment. The homeless Kitten was written by Holly Webb and it was illustrated by Sophy William. The Ice Enchantment was written by Danelle Star but I couldn't who the illustrator was. Thank Duffy for all my books and I will enjoy reading and learning from them at home.

vincent van gogh time line

 LI: To create a timeline to show the life of Vincent Van Gogh.

Career pathway

LI: To find out what qualifications I will need to become a dog trainer

Today we made career pathway DLO's based off of our career quiz to see what we need to do and how we can get into that job position. I wanted to be a dog trainer because I love them and believe dogs need more care and treatment to help them. In my DLO I talk about what I would need to study in school and researched all about what dog trainers do. 

Dance class'#1

Today was our first lesson of Dance class with our teacher Miss Rebecca. I learnt to make different shapes using my body and being expressive to the music. The first thing we did was warming up by dancing and moving around in different ways to some music. I had fun doing this because it got my heart rate up. Then we moved on to trying to create different shapes using our body like a snake or a star whenever Miss Rebecca called out a thing. For our last activity we got in groups and worked together as a team to create a letter in the alphabet. We would have 10-15 seconds to do it and everybody had to be included. I had a lot of fun at our first dance class and I was able to be creative. 

Life Education

LI: To understand why it is important to make wise choices

For our sessions with Nicole in the Life Education caravan we talked  about why it is important to make wise choices if the things around us were not wise choices. We also learnt that stress, anger, feeling sad and peer pressure sometimes mean that we don't make wise choices. We sent an email to Cappy to help him do the right thing.

Problem Solving with Tangrams

LI: To explore problem solving

LS2 and LS1 were make tangrams by working together. We listened to the instructions and made a tangram puzzle with a piece of paper and pair of scissors. When we finished we used our problem solving skills and asked our friends questions to find the solution. Our challenge was to make a square with the shapes then make an animal. It was fun.
