Maori Battalion Timeline

For Inquiry, Miki, Julian, Nevaeh and I worked together as a group to complete the Maori Battalion Timeline DLO. This shows the timeline of the Maori Battalion's time on the battle field. We all show a lot of respect to the people who have fought for our king and country. The white skin and the dark skin people were separated. They also have different jobs the British got the better jobs and the Maoris got the worst and least paying jobs after the war. In the battlefield they worked as a team and became friends. Then went their separate ways.    

WW1 Facts

Today for Inquiry we have created a DLO showing facts that we remembered in WW1. I worked with Joshua, San kyaw. We have made this DLO to show you the facts about WW1 and what happened in the war.

Peace

This term for Inquiry we were learning about Peace. The reasons behind it is simple. We were learning about this to as an commemoration all the soldier that fought in the World War 1 and 2. Did you know that it has been 100 years since World War 1 ended. I learnt that peace symbols were designed in 1958 by the British artist and designer Gerald Holtom. We think peace is important words to have because 'Peace is when there is freedom from war, argument and live together without violence. Also respect values and get a long together with each other'. For this activity I worked with Miki and Aung Naing

Bridge Testing

Today after lunch Mr Johnston came to our class to test our bridges. Our bridge was really stable and it looks astonishing . Things that we did great was we used a lot of  triangles we used for our bridge and the PVA glue we used was very strong. Things that we didn't do well was not supporting the sides of the bridge to make it stronger. I learnt that we need to make sure that we add more sticks on top to support the sides

Building A Bridge

Today for Inquiry we were building a bridge. Our group had collaborated to find out on what bridge are we going to make with glue and toothpicks. We manege to complete the main part of our bridge which are the deck and the sides. Our challenge was to make the strongest bridge and making sure it was wide enough that can fit objects. We also made sure that it can carry heavy objects and the measurements are right and we made sure that we counted the toothpicks correctly because each toothpicks are worth 25 cents. The most challenging thing was making the toothpicks touch each other and the same length. The people that are in my group are Miki, Jaydon, Jona, Reneir. We had fun doing this activity. We had fun doing this activity.

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. 

Virtual Reality

Today Tai, Jeremiah and I have explored google expeditions VR and three of us had the experiences of using the VR. Virtual realty is a gadget that lets you look around and make you feel that you are in that place. There's an arrow that lets you go on different places. Tai, Jeremiah and I learnt different types of bridge. This activity links to our inquiry because we were leaning about bridges. It was a very cool to.

Matariki Poster

Today for Matariki Day, we collaborate with LS1. We watched a video about Matriki, we then timed our group 3 minutes to write all the facts that we remembered about the Matariki and we made a google drawing about the Matariki talking about the fact that we learnt and the seven stars of Matariki. We used our smart searching skills to search up the seven starts of Matariki. The seven stars are - Matariki,Waita, Waiti, Uru-a-rangi, Tupu-a-rangi,Tupu-a-nuku and Waipuna-a-rangi. We enjoyed collaborating with LS1

This Is Why We Need a Skeletal System

Today for inquiry we created a Gif about the skeletal systems. We used EzGif to to create this Gif. We used Play-Doh and toothpick to create a human figure to show you what it looks like without bones and with bones. The toothpick stands for the "skeleton" on the human clay. We learnt that there are 300 bones for new born and 206 for adults. The  reason why we created this Gif was to show you why we need the skeletal system and how important they are. 

Hineheauone

The Maori legend, it is the story about how the first women made and was named
Hineheauone. We made this in story board that. Carl and I work hard and 
we use teamwork to do this. The story is really interesting to 
know a story about  the first women to live in earth. 

Bangladesh

I have created a slide about Bangladesh. I learnt that the language they usually speak is Bengali. 
The students from Bangladesh starts school at the age of 6 to 10 years old and I also found
 out the capital city of Bangladesh and it is Dhaka, but Dhaka is a big city full of millions of people sightseeing.
 Dhaka was found at the 4th century in 1610.

Where Is PyeongChang?

I created this DLO that shows how far away PyeongChang is from Auckland. I now know PyeongChang is in South Korea. South Korea is a country near the Philippines, which is where I come from. One fact I found really interesting is that Baseball and Football are popular sports in South Korea.

We found out that in Finland their Santa is called "Joulupukki". Mataio Josh and I discovered that Christmas is celebrated a different day and is celebrated on 25 December. This screencastify is explaining our learning of our Finland study.

Taking Care Of Your Teeth

We have created this DLO for Room 4, to let them know why we had to take of our teeth and what can happen if we don't look after them. I made this animation with my partner Harlem. The hardest thing was to make our animation more friendly. Easiest thing was choosing the photo.

The People In Out Local Community

I used Tagul to create this word cloud that shows who the people are in our local community. A community is a group of people who live in the same place (e.g: Panmure), or have a common connection (e.g: the Philippines community)
