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.

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

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.
