Summer Learning Journey ~ NASA Colouring Book

Today I did the first summer learning  journey  activity . I chose the spacecraft and tried to recreate the original picture. I colour it a different way by using more bighter colours  to make it better. 

I enjoyed doing this activity because it was fun and I was able to be more creative.  

  

Vision board

             

LI: To tell what you want to acheive by using pictures and words.                      

               

   Today we made a DLO about what we want to achieve this year by using pictures and words. I want to achieve a lot of things and I will try my hardest. My vision to go to  Fiji and see my family, I haven't met all of my famliy. I really enjoyed making this because it made me think a lot about what I wanted to do in one year , so I'm trying to complete as much as I can.  I think  this is a good way to strive towards acheiving my goals.

coding with python

LI: To understand to conncetions between

Link to DLO 

This is the comparison between the Python coding , the blocks and the flowchart for making the Microbit act like a dice.Something I found interesting about expericing the Python coding is being able to understand the written codes and asking for help even when I am not confident.Something I learnt about Python coding is to understand the simple codings its trying to tell me to do.

hauoru

 

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.

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.

Hauroa and olymiplans

Athletes who win make sure they know how to also lose in a proper manner, it’s normal for people to cry when they win or lose. 

Tears of happiness and gratitude for the winners and tears of sorrow and disappointment for those who have taken a step back.

It is important to enjoy and celebrate the success you earn, embrace the goals you have achieved and the goals that you have set for yourself.  Motivating yourself makes you believe that you can do anything that you put your mind to. 

Mindfuless Reflection

Mindfulness 

LI: Removing the negativity from your mind 

The mindfulness bell is treated like a taonga. This week LS2 focused on mindfulness. Mindfulness is a type of meditation in which you focus on being intensely aware of what you're sensing and feeling right now.Mindfulness is about focusing on the present and leaving the past behind.LS2 than sat in circle facing the opposite direction of everyone and loosen their stomach,hands on our knees and focused by breathing in and out slowly so our body and mind can relax.As the bell rang each one us breathed in and out while our mind was slowly approaching the green zone.As I body was relax our mind was wandering in calm position.Mindfulness helps our mind proceed towards the green zone so we can slowly escape from the red zone.Something I found interesting 

Everyone goes into the red zone which is negative emotions. To change the red zone into green zone, we used the mindfulness bell to change the mood into calm and relaxed. 

Medals

 LI: To use the information in the text to make inferences.

Today we learnt about the olympic people who won the medals in 2021.  they have won and there are very happy  get medals  they try very hard to acivte it  and to do they best they can . and we leraned about the olympic  .

Flow Charts and radio chat

  LI: To understand how flow charts relaxde to coding blocks.

Link to DLO

The next activity today was coding the micrbit to send a radio signal to another micorbit. we had to make sure that both micorbit were on the same group number so we didn't accdentily get a message form another group.

Current event

 LI: To find the important information in a current event

     

This week for Reading we learnt about author's purpose. Authors write for a purpose/reason. These reasons are to Persuade, Inform, Explain or Entertain (PIE).First we looked at Kiwi Kids News to find a article. Then, we made a copy of the Current Events DLO and answered these questions:What is the article about?When the article was created?Where was the article was made?Why the author wrote the article?How it was made?Why do you think the author wanted you to learn from the article?

I found this activity very intestinbg because i found new thing about it 

Roboties in the stars

LI:  TO  tr and  get the mobot draw a star shape of matariki

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 this activty really fun , because we get to do things with my group and describe where , how who what and when about the stars.

• I found out…I enjoyed …. because

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.

Bravery

 LI: To edit our writing using DRAFT.

This week continued writing our abstract noun poem about Bravery. We included descriptive words and used  the 5 senses which are: See, smell, feel/touch,and taste.When we finished our poem we used DRAFT to check our work, this means delete, rearrange, add, fix and talk. DRAFT is looking closely at your work and making any changes to improve it.

We used word hippo to look for more powerful words to use.

Rock Paper Scissors

LI To learn how to code the microbit to play rock papaer scissors and understand how the flowchart matches the code.

Link to DLO

1. When I shake the microbit it will choose a random number between 1 and 3

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

5. If the number is 3 - the microbit will show the symbol for scissors

sadness

LI: To write an abstract noun senses poem

 

For our writing task this week we are working on poems and metaphors. Our metaphor poem was about sadness. A metaphor is describing something as something else without using “like” or “as.” An abstract noun is a noun describing an idea, for example see, taste, feel, smell and hear. We  worked on this task as a group. After coming up with our poem we create a DLO.

This task was fun because we learned how much creativity we have

opnotion making

 

Our group has been focusing on consider both perspectives. Perspectives means a different points of view. Our group has been gathering information of our topic whether it is true or not.The topic was about sacred spots from Maori mythology.One of the myths our group decided to chose was Waipoua forest,Waipoua forest is the creation story of Tane Mahuta creating the Earth by lying between his parents Papatuanuku mother earth and Ranginui the sky father.Tane Mahuta pushed and stretched his parents apart to fight for the light and space for him and his siblings.Something we found interesting about our task given was exploring our researching skills to find the evidence that is true and not about the myth we have chosen above.

main ldeas

For reading we have been focusing on the Maui and Sun story.Our task was to identify the main ideas in the text.Our information we have gathered together is our opinions we have mixed together to create a more explained main ideas.Something we learnt from this activity is to read the text and identify all the different main ideas we might find important to vital.Something we found interesting about this activity is being able to identify the main ideas of a text.

Creative writing

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

 

Our focus for writing this week was to use descriptive writing, which means using words that are powerful, making your text more exciting to read and add more detail into your writing. We were tasked to work collaboratively in pairs to complete this task. 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.

This consist of Classroom discussions, walking to assembly, behaviour on school trips, wet day procedure eg. respecting wet day monitors. All of these prospects will help us develop a strong and healthy learning enviroment. I found this activity very intesteting because it is about what uis our Expectations for PB4L

Building an mBot

 LI To understand how the mbot is put together so that ican fix it when something goes wrong .

Today, we took an mBot apart and then ressmbled it .we then tested it with some code to make sure that

it worked correcty here are the parts of the mBot that look apart.

Current Events

LI: To identify the author's purpose.

 

Authors write for a purpose/reason. These reasons are to Persuade, Inform, Explain or Entertain (PIE).
First we looked at Kiwi Kids News to find a article. Then, we made a copy of the Current Events DLO and answered these questions:

• What is the article about?
• When the article was created?
• Where was the article was made?
• Why the author wrote the article?
• How it was made?
• Why do you think the author wanted you to learn from the articleI found this activity very interesting because it is about what happens in New Zealand on the Queens Birthday.

This week we have been learning to use transitional vocabulary to help us link ideas between the sentences in our paragraph. The transitional words are like the doors we walk through and to show how this works in writing we have highlighted them. I enjoyed this activity because we got to try using new words in our writing and we worked collaboratively so we got to share our ideas.

know your keyboard

 LI; be cybersmart and use our devies to learn ,create and share.

We did the Maniakalani Cybersmart challenges  and this is activity 1. Our task was to make 3 DLO's on how to use your Chromebook. The first DLO was about what to do when you're using your chromebook, when using your Chromebook you can't have food or drinks near your chromebook, If you are charging your Chromebook while using it you must work near a wall so that no cables are on the floor where people might be walking and more on the DLO's.

 

Leadships

This week for writing LS2 worked in groups of 5 - 6 people to find the definition of leadership. First we brainstormed all the examples linked to leadership onto a piece of paper. Second we used that brainstorm to give us a basic idea of what leadership is. Then we wrote down all the important words linked to leadership, we then used those words to create a summary. After that we created a DLO about our summary and the process of making it.

Hydration

LI: to understand why staying hydrated is important for our health and our learning. 

regularly makes you hydrated and full of energy, but the opposite is being dehydrated. Being dehydrated is when your body isn’t getting enough water that it needs. This causes tiredness, lack of energy, dry lips, and dark colored urine. 

In groups of 2-4 we created a DLO explaining why being hydrated is good for both health and learning. In my group was ****add names. After reading this DLO I hope you have a good understanding on why is it very important to keep hydrated by drinking water.
