Which graph?? Pt.2 - Maths 2020

Task Description

This is part two to my most recent blog post which is named - Which Graph?

The first task was to choose the best graph for the data type and scenario that was given, along with an explanation. Next task was to match up the graph with the statistical inquiry. Lastly, I had to create a graph using data, already provided for us and make conclusions on the graph we've made. The work was relatively easy and quick to finish. 

Inside Earth - Reading 2020

Task Description

For this presentation, I had at least 4 tasks to accomplish. I had to break a text that I've read into word groups. It was tricky at first but with help from my teacher and friends, I got the hang of it. The next task was to use a graphic organiser to sort and gather information whilst listening to and watching the video that Ms Tapuke(My literacy teacher) provided for us. I had to type some quick notes, word groups and specific topic vocabulary. I then explored some more about the Earths Interior with the helpful document Ms Tapuke provided for us on Slide 6. Lastly, I simply and quickly just typed down the main and interesting new things I've learnt about the Earth's structure.

We are the world!!!🌏 - Inquiry 2020

We are learning about the earth systems and the 4 spheres. Geosphere, Hydrosphere, Biosphere and Atmosphere. I recorded my thoughts and questions. What happened at our home class meeting, my questions about life on earth. I also filled out a K - W - L chart - What I already know, what I want to know and what i've learnt. Enjoy!

Line Graphs 📈 !!! - Maths 2020

Task Description 

This week we are focussing on Line Graphs. I am so happy with the graph that we are studying. The slides above was somewhat easy but it did take a hour and half to finish. My literacy strengths pulled through and help made the mathswork easy. I really liked the Covid19 graph slide a lot and wrote a long conclusion for the graph. I also created my own graph but Mrs Stone provided the information for our class to convert into a graph. The work was very fun! 

Stay Safe!!!

Bar Graphs - 2020

Task Description

This was yesterdays work but I didn't have time to post it then but now I do and this is my presentation for the work. Focussing on reading graphs, yesterday we were mainly going over the basics of a bar graph and how to read it. I learnt how to make precise and deep conclusions from yesterday and todays maths work. I am looking forward to what other graphs we will look at, hopefully line graphs as they are challenging and something I need to get stronger at understanding. 

Pie Graphs Conclusions - 2020

Task Description

Today's work is focussed on Pie Graphs. I had to look at Pie charts and make conclusions about what the graph is showing. I also created my own graph using data that Mrs Stone prepared/made up for us. This was kind of easy especially when I have already had a lot of experience with Statistics and reading graphs from previous years. ENJOYYYY!!!!

Immersion Assembly

WALT- Write a recount

Today is the first day of Term 2. We are back from our two week break. We had just came back from watching the Immersion Assembly. We had to watch 5 items from the teachers.

This term, our Topic is. . . I like your Latitude! But for our team which is Team 5. We are mainly focusing on the Inquiry Question 'What Longitude and Latitude are you in?'. Keep reading to find out what that is about! Let's move on!


We started the Assembly off with a Karakia and Mihi. Instead of doing the National Anthem we just went straight into it. The first item was from the Associate principles and the principle himself. They were talking about how Coding and technology are so advanced that we can tell robots where to go with a remote and they will do it. They showed a robot from Star Wars. They used this robot to show their proof. The Robot was doing all sorts of things, he even poked Mr Burt(Our Priniciple)! It was very funny and cool, but the best part for me was when we found out that the Robot was actually created and was Mr Jacobsen(Associate Priniciple). The next item was from Team 1.

Team 1's item was next. They had prepared a movie for us that they filmed during the Holiday Break. Their Movie was based in the future. It started off with some children eating 'Fake Fruit' and talking about if they had seen a real fruit. It also was showing a video of how our bee's are becoming extinct from the disease CCD A.K.A Colony Collapse Disorder. They had to use directions to trace and find the last bee. They eventually found the last bee from all the directions a GPS(Global Positioning System) told them. So they are most likely to learn about listening and understanding the words that a Google Map says and knowing where to go by listening to the directions.

Term 2 had a fun time that was shown by a movie. They had a Easter Egg hunt! Now you may be wondering, ' What does that have to do with Longitude and Latitude?' Well let me tell you why! They had to find the chocolate eggs in all sorts of directions. They had to look up, down, right, left, over, under, around and look everywhere to find the chocolate eggs. They also get to create a Treasure Map for their buddy to find the treasure! They are definitely gonna have a great term!

Team 3 teachers also created a movie for us. They are going to be making pick a path stories where you have two choices. You have to pick Right or Left to go to the next place. This was similair to what we did last year in Mr Goodwins Class. Miss King(Team 3 Leader) also said that she got this idea from Mr Goodwin so that was cool to see something that I could relate to. They are also gonna have fun creating their Pick a path stories because I know for a fact that creating those types of stories are really enjoyable!

Team 4 had a really funny movie. It was a task to the the Team 4 teachers(except for Mr Goodwin) given by Mr Goodwin. They met at Pak'nsave and had to find their way back to School using the tools that were used back in the days. That included a compass,map and the sun if they know what they are doing. Mrs Sio was really funny because in this one scene she lead the rest of the teachers and she looked like she knew where she was going. She was using the technique from the movie Moana and put her hand up to the sky and walked in G.I. The funny part was that she lead them to Great Tong, which is a Fast Food Takeaway. Anyways they made their way back to school to make it on time for their meeting. They are learning about Navigation using the other tools excluding technologies like GPS or Google Maps.

Lastly, the best item which was from Team 5 A.K.A the best team( Not Biased At All!). The teachers from Team 5 had prepared a small act/play that is about Virtual Traveling. Mrs Tapuke was deciding on where to go with her family and so she decided that should go on a Virtual Travel Agency. She got to go to any Continent and visit them to see which one is best to go to. She visited most of the 7 Continents and was still not sure. It was a funny play and had a good topic to learn about. Our Inquiry Question is 'Where in the Longitude and Latitude are you in?' In my opinion, I love this because we are learning about Geography and once we go into College it will be easier because we will have more experience than others. 

Overall the assembly was long but it was worth it. We had a lot of laughs now and then and still rolled with it when a few things were different. My Goal for this term is to learn as much about this topic so I can be prepared for College because I think taking Geography will be fun even though it won't help me much in my career I want to pursue. Other than that, Let's just hope that everything goes smoothly this term!

Term 2 Four Forces of Flight Animation

Come on a Tour with me!

Walt:use information from across multiple sources.



Task Description
For this task we had to go on Google maps and explore Chicago and take screenshots so we can write about it. I changed this task up a bit and instead of just wondering around the City on Google Maps. I decided to go on a tour to a bunch of cool and beautiful places in Chicago. Hope you enjoy the Tour around Chicago!

Mario Poster!

Walt: Learn about the History of Mario and Video Games.



Task Description
For this task we had to read a long text about Mario. We also got to create a Mario on 8 bit art and we had to create something like a Poster to show our drawing and a few facts about Mario and what we learnt.

The Chef and Mr Goodwin

Walt: Write using descriptive language.

Mr Goodwin sat down to order his first Deep Dish Pizza. Only the chef had something different in mind for Mr Goodwin’s pizza. Instead of the usual ingredients like cheese, tomato, and ham. The Chef instead used the worst ingredient he could think of. He got it shipped from a friend of Mr Goodwin. The Chef used Mr Moran’s Stinky Socks.

The Chef went to Mr goodwin to take his order. “ Hello Sir, Welcome to our Restaurant, what do you want to order? Asked Chef. Mr Goodwin replied with “ Umm, I don’t know. What do you think I should order, Chef? ” “ Well, There is something, actually would you like to try the new special? Asked Chef. “Sure, As long as it’s delicious.’’ The Chef bolted to the kitchen to prepare the ‘new special’.

Rick the Chef first started cooking a normal Deep dish Pizza but randomly he squeezed Mr Moran’s socks. A bunch of sweat came dripping slowly out of the socks. “  Man it reeks in here. Ohh, so that’s why the box said Fragile, handle with care.” complained Chef Rick. The Masterpiece was born.

Rick put on his oven mittens and carefully took the Pizza out of the Oven. But this Pizza was not ordinary, it was a deep dish Pizza with a mystery ingredient. Rick the Chef walked out of the Kitchen with a mischievous smirk. He walked over to Mr Goodwin’s table and placed the Pizza in front of him. Mr Goodwin said “Thank you.” “ No Problem” replied Rick.

Mr Goodwin sniffed the Deep Dish Pizza and smelt a familiar odour. Within a few seconds, Mr Goodwin knew the revolting smell was Mr Moran socks. He could smell it from a mile away. Mr Goodwin picked up the dish and ran to Chef Rick. He took the Pizza and smashed it in Ricks face. Mr Goodwin shouted at Rick “ Ha, You’re plan backfired on you, how does it feel? Feel the burn! That was a good win, get it because my surname is Goodwin.”

Rick the Chef took off his mask, he revealed himself. Rick is actually Mr Burt, not only that but Mrs Burt is Mr burt’s hands. Mr Goodwin was regretting his words and actions to what he did to Mr Burt. Mr Burt started laughing and giggling while Mr Goodwin was feeling disappointed in himself.

The End!

Task Description

For this writing we had to write a creative narrative about Mr Goodwin. Mr Goodwin has gone to Chicago so we decided to write a funny story about what could happen in Chicago. Read my Narrative Story above to understand what I am talking about.

I made something in 5 days ?!?!

Walt: write using descriptive language.



Task Description
This task was a very fun task because we got to make up our own inventions. We first created our invention picture on sumo paint. Then we had to write a narrative story about our creations. I had a great time doing this task a lot and I wish that we could more of this in the future.

Symmetry in drawing shapes

Walt: recognise shapes and sides.



Task Description: I had to mirror some images and draw it. I tried my best to make it symmetrical. This was very hard to make it look the same. All of the images were asymmetrical but at least I tried my best.

Animation

This is my animation. I hope you enjoy!

Here is my script.

Back in the day before europeans came, Maori had lots of technology and methods to make useful thing in their life. One of the products was a Waka. A Waka would’ve taken months and weeks to build. They might have carved a Totara tree into a narrow boat and used strips of harakeke to lash the woods together.To move the Waka, they would’ve needed strong men to move the boat .

Time flies by very quickly so when the europeans and pakeha came to new Zealand, factories were built because of the materials they had. So when more factories were built that meant more materials were made like metal and steel.

Before we had speedboats, the europeans made steamboats.One of the famous steamboats is the titanic. The titanic needed 500 men to move the titanic in the boiler room. Fast forward to the present, Nowadays we have speed boats because it is faster to get from one place to another. We use motors to push our speed boats forward.

Technology changes over time because every year new inventions and products are being made. People make technology to fix problems.

Pisirina Yr 5&6 extension Mini Production

The Production was amazing, I couldn’t believe my eyes.

I had rotten butterflies in my stomach but as soon as I started like a star.I really enjoyed the soloist, especially Bethan's solo because she overcame her fear.I had 2 roles in the production, I was a Narrator and a Kid/Grandma in the 60s scene. My favourite scene was the 60s because I loved the costumes for the girls/dancers. Something I would work on is speaking more clear when I was ending the show. I was really surprised by the main actors who managed to learn their lines within probably 4 weeks. But after we did our mini production I wouldn’t change a thing because we performed it perfectly.
