Treasure hunting (Summer learning journey)

LI: To collect materials needed to successfully complete our weekly superpower building missions with Nano girl.

This week we began our first task of the summer learning task. We had to get items from a video and thought about if we had to right items from it. We worked in groups which gave us the opportunity to think about what we were gonna make with the items we had. This was a fun task because since our school are not holiday we got to work other people from other classes.

Operation Christmas drop

LI: To write a summary of the story behind the Operation Christmas Drop in your own words. 

For the last 68 years the men and women of the US air force who are based at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam have been using a pilot training drill to drop much needed supplies to the people who live on the 60 remote islands that surround Guam.

Probability

This week for maths The year 8's were learning about how to use probability. We were given different questions that involved using probability to find the average or the complete answer. This was a really fun task because we got to work together in groups which then gave us more confidence to give each other feed back.

Provocation: Should masks be compulsory on NZ public transport?

 LI: To identify and consider the two perspectives of this provocation to help me form an opinion.

A provocation is an action or speech that triggers strong feelings about a topic. Today we considered both sides of the provocation, ‘Should masks be compulsory on NZ public transport?’ We then used that infomration to help us form an opinion that we could justify with evidence. I think that we should make masks compulsory because we are still in a time where we find traces of Covid19: A virus that spreads easily.
