Harbour Bridge

This term for Inquiry we were learning about different types of structures. Mr Johnson talked to us about the building of the Auckland Harbour Bridge and some fun facts about it. Then we had to research facts about the information Mr Johnson gave us, then Josh and I created a DLO with this information.

Auckland Harbour Bridge And Sydney Harbour Bridge - Comparison

For this challenge was to compare the Auckland Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Both are Arch bridges but they are a different shape and the Sydney bridge is longer than the Auckland one. I have worked with Miki for this activity.

Panmure Bridge Time Line

This term for Inquiry we have been learning about the different types of structures. Miki and I worked collaboratively to complete this shared DLO. We created this DLO to explain the timeline of Panmure Bridge. On this timeline myself and Josh drew different types of objects that were used back in the days like: television, newspapers, and phones. Myself and Josh decided to create a google slide to present our learning on. To create this DLO we also used our researching skills to find interesting information. I learnt that the first Panmure Bridge was not a bridge, but it was a punt. 

Adding Decimals

Today I created a DLO showing how I solve Decimals question. The question I solved was 3.1 + 6.3. The answer was 9.4. This shows how to solve decimal equations easily by using addition and subtraction. Using this strategy is really easy to do because you just need to use addition and subtraction, I enjoyed learning this strategy. 

New York

This week for reading we were reading a story about The lost empire. After finishing answering the  question. We then created  DLO showing a map of New York and 6 places that we would want to go when we visit to New York that include Empire State Building.

Maths - Scale Drawing

Last week we have been doing scale drawing. I have done this activity last year and drew a Pokemon character. I have googled a character and drew Todoroki. We have the same rules just like last year. The challenging part is when you have to draw the characters parts square by square. The ratio is the same as last year. The best thing about this activity is when you starting to color and finishing the drawing and the character you drew is just like the picture. I had fun doing this activity.

5 Facts About Ancient Rome

For reading our group created a DLO showing 5 facts about Ancient Rome. We used our smart searching skills to find some interesting information about Ancient Rome. Our group have read a book about Ancient Rome. Reading the book also helps us find information and learning new things. Our group had fun learning about the Ancient Rome.

Kiwi Can - Reflection

Today for kiwi can we were talking about problem solving. Problem solving is when you work together as a group to find a solution to that problem and also communicating to each other. We then played a game called rock, paper, scissors and then we find a partner to vs. If you loose you must kneel down and if you win you have to keep stand up. But you can still play when your kneeling, if you lost again and you are kneeling you're out. We then played another game called hand soccer. Hand soccer is when you use your hand instead of your foot to get a goal and win.

Pechaflikr

Last week for writing we were making a pechaflikr. We were learning to link ideas between paragraphs and structure/order a narrative. My partner for this task was Aung Naing, we both worked collaboratively  to complete this work. Doing this activity is fun because you got to describe the picture, making them into a story and linking ideas together. Aung Naing and I created a screencastify describing the pictures. It was fun because we got the chance to learn new things. The most challenging thing is when you have to find the correct image that matches my story.

Kiwi Can - Reflection

Today for kiwi can we talked about achieving goals and celebrating them. Our energizer is called snatch, after playing snatch we then played golden child. it is like a shooting game, you just need to shoot the ball into the hoop and the other team will run. My team lost, because we were missing the shots.

Cook Island Language Week

This week is Cook Island language week. I have worked with Jericho, Dallas, Chirstopher, Savelina to creat ethis presentation. We have celebrated the last two days learning about Cook Island. We have used our smart searching skills to find what type of food they eat, the language they speak, the places you can visit, the capital of Cook Island and 5 facts about the Cook Island. We used a website to find the pronunciation of basic words. We then used the words to record a vocaroo that we have put on the presentation.

John made sure that he measured the ingredients correctly and slicing the chicken into small pieces. I made sure that the chicken is brown and the onions are not burnt but soft.
