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.

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.
