An East German Childhood - Education From Home 2020

GREETINGSS. Pisirina here!

 As you know, COVID19 is a global issue and currently all schools in NZ are shut down for now. BUT! Pt England being a digital school, we are doing online learning.

East German Childhood Information Web - Education From Home 2020

Hello! Pisirina here. As you know, COVID19 is a global issue and currently all schools in NZ are shut down for now. BUT! Pt England being a digital school, we are doing online learning. I have been Video Chatting with my class and Teacher - Ms Tapuke. It has been quite a weird week but I think that it is AMAZING that we are still finding new ways to acess our learning.

This week I have been reading a text named An East German Childhood. This is one of my Create Tasks for the text that we are reading. I have created a BEAUTIFUL and HELPFUL Informational Web to discuss and point out the key points that I picked up from the story I am reading.

Keep a look out for some more learning from home. Hope you stay safe and stay in your house. God Bless!

Rambunctious Ratios - Education From Home 2020

   Rambunctious Ratios

            We are learning to use multiplication and division to solve proportion and ratios problems.

Multiplication and Division Practice.

Work these problems out in your mind and discuss your strategies with your group. Show a couple of strategies below, but the rest of the questions can just be answered

29 x 20 = 580          33 x 15 = 495               76 x 24 = 1824               65 x 17 = 1105 
72 x 15 = 1080        33 x 16 = 528               34 x 31 = 1054               42 x 26 = 1092
90 ÷ 30 = 30           280 ÷ 40  = 7          300 ÷ 12 = 25                  625 ÷ 25 = 25


Word problem of the week:
For every 8 girls in a school, there are 12 boys. If there are 60 students in the school, how many girls and boys are there in the school? 8 girls to 12 boys or 8:12. 12 x 3 = 36. And 8 x 3 = 24. 36 + 24 = 60 students. There would be 24 girls to 36 boys or 24:36

Wicked word problems! 

Solve these problems. Write down your strategies:

Jermaine has 120 lollies to share between some  friends. How many lollies would each friend get if there were 8 altogether? What if there were 16 or 24 people? 120 represents the lollies and 8 represents the people. Ratio is 120:8 which is also 120 lollies to 8 people. If there was 16 people, 8 x 2 = 16. Now you do the same to the other side, 120 x 2 = 240. The new ratio would be 240:16 which is also 240 lollies to 16 people!

It takes 3 minutes to hang out 12 items of clothing. How long will it take to hang out 36 items? 3:12 is the original ratio. The new ratio is that there is now 36 where the 12 would be which represents the items of clothing. 12 x 3 = 36.  Do the same to the other side, 3 x 2 = 9.  It would take 9 minutes to hang 36 items of clothing - 9:36

A pancake recipe calls for 3 cups of flour and 2 eggs. Marika is going to make several batches to bring to the garage sale. If she wants to use 8 eggs, how many cups of flour will she use? 2 x 4 = 8.. 3 x 4 = 12. 12:8

At the pools, one lifeguard is required for every 25 people.If there are 150 people booked to swim, how many lifeguards need to be working?  1:25 is the original ratio they gave us. Now they are giving us 150 people and asking how many lifeguards needed for that. The relationship between 25 and 150 is multiply 6. Now we do it to the other side so 1 x 6 = 6. Updated ratio is 6:150

The pools also say that one adult can only look after two children under 5. If Pt England Kids are going swimming and they are taking 30 children, how many adults will they need? 1:2  and 2 x 15 = 30. 1 x 15 = 15. 15 adults to 30 kids.

If the ratio is 2:8 then it is also 14:56 because 8 x 7 = 56 and 2 x 7 = 14. The relationship between the number 2 and 14 is 7, same goes to 8 and 56.

Pisirina Reflection Paideia Seminar Term 2.

This Term we had the Paideia Seminar for Term 2 because we had no time for the Seminar. Me, Jahzara, Levonah and Amelia were in a group for the Seminar. Our perspective was School. I chose this because it had lot’s of reasons and facts to talk about.This is what we were talking and arguing politely about:          

Is it important to keep our humanity, emotions, critical thinking, and empathy or doesn’t it matter if we live in a wired world where we are individuals, not a community?

What is the best or worst case scenario of living in a world, where we don’t communicate face to face?

I felt really nervous, I kept on telling my group I don’t know what to say but Amelia told me to just piggy bank on my Idea. My Emotions took over me but I was okay. I thought that I didn’t really talk that much because I was really shy. One person who surprised me was Bethan because she barely opened her mouth and usually she dominates the conversation. Something I could do better is to talk more and express myself because everybody has a voice.
