Hauora Poster

L.I: Is to understand what Hauora means.

This week for Inquiry we started on challenge 4 for our hauora task. This was a task to make a poster about the 4 walls of hauora and explain what they are and how you can show them. The thing that we used to make these posters is canva where you can create poster, videos, logos and more. The thing that I liked about this task is how we got to use our creativity to make this which was really fun.

Making connections to problem solving.

L.I: To explore problem solving.

As our internet stopped we decided to create our own tangrams. This is a puzzle that was created centuries ago, these puzzles were usually used for people that were on a ship to have something to entertain them self's. When playing with this puzzle you can make different kind of things into an animals or a shape. We started of with a piece of A4 paper and a pair of scissors. We had to follow and listen to simple instructions to create our own tangram, when finishing of the tangrams we were given a challenge to create a square out of the pieces of paper. The thing that I liked about this task was that it was a challenge to me and we got to use problem solving to fit in the pieces of paper to create your thing.

Negative Numbers

LI: To add and subtract positive and negative numbers.

For the start of term 3 for maths we learnt how to add positive and negative numbers. When adding negative numbers the number would decrease until it would get to a positive number or stay as it is, a negative number. The thing that was really fun about this task was that some of the question that we were given were really easy and hard at the same time. Another thing that I liked about this was that we got to work in a group with our friends.

Tonight is the night where all of the stars come out and say hi to the world. A man named James looked forward to this day and wanted to do his plan. His plan was to climb a very high mountain to watch all the stars. But this was no ordinary mountain, this mountain was some sort of cliff. He knew he could do this since he was a professional rock climber. This took him a little while to climb up since it was very big.

The sun was about to set at exactly 6:00, one by one the stars will start to shine up the whole world. He started to climb faster and faster. It was currently 5:00 and he started to stress out. This was his only time to feel the feeling that he wanted to feel when he looked at the stars on a mountain with his Grandma. Time was ticking it got closer and closer to 6:00.

As he was having doubts in himself, he looked up and saw the edge of the cliff so he didn't give up. He went as fast as he could to the top. He could sense relief in himself, and as he got up it was  beautiful. getting there at a time of 5:59. He layed down on his bag looking up thinking about his grandma. As the stars started to appear and cried in joy as the stars wrose above him.

This week for writing we did 5-7-10 but instead of doing this we added more steps and minutes which is 10-5-7-10-10. This would help us plan and do other stuff. The thing that we really need was time to plan. Out planning time was 10 minutes and the extra 10 minutes at the end is to fix up you writing piece. This was really helpful because we had more time to think about what we are writing and the amount of time we have been given to our writing.

Experimenting with UV Light

L.I: To find the most effective UV filter.

LS2 has been trialling the electronic sensor for the kiwrious project. We are working with Suranga, Sonia, Evan, Dawn and Yvonne From the AHL at Auckland university. I found that using the sensors to find out the most effective way on how much Natural light and UV light it would get from going through different objects to keep the Zally safe. To find out what kind of data I collected My DLO will show you the different kinds of objects I used.

5-7-10 Writing

That was the question that occupied their frightened minds as they crouched, huddling together, next to the pile of dusty sacks on the base of the windmill. This all began on a cloudy day, to where 4 people were on a hike up a mountain. The weather today there was supposed to be a thunderstorm but they didn't believe that as the forecast was always wrong around there area.

So as they were heading up the mountain they saw a big dark grey cloud coming towards them so they decided to go back. As they were heading back it started to rain buckets. They thought to them self's that they wouldn't make it in time so they stumbled into a windmill, and as they were entering a big lightning struck the ground, frightening them and went straight in.

The 4 friends huddled to keep warm and tried to ring someone but no one had service so they rested until the storm stopped. 2 of the friends could as they could constantly hearing the lightning. As they were resting the storm started to settled down an they woke up and took of back home.

Currently it has been the start of a new term for school and to start of, we worked on writing. We were set a task where we would get a partner and spend 5 minutes to wright as much as you can with the topic that you were given. Then with your partner you would have 7 minutes each to share our work and give feedback on what should change. With 10 you would get 10 minutes to rewrite your story with more detail and use the feedback that your partner gave to you. 

Tech (Robotics)

L.I: Is to code your mbot to follow a more advance obstacle course.

Today was our last day of robotics at tamaki college, after this we would be rotating to cooking. Mrs Ferguson gave us a challenge to make the mbot follow a course. At the end all of us got to do the whole course. The fun thing about this was that we had a competition on who's mbot could do the course the fastest. I ended up coming second with the time of 31.86 seconds and coming in first place was Florence with the time of 31.32 seconds and in third was Sakshi with the time of 32.38 seconds.

Te reo challenge

L.I: Is to create something that represents Matariki 

Matariki is such a special event where the 7 stars of matariki comes out. I made this picture with all my heart and that im so proud of it. The thing that I liked about this is that I had a clear picture about what my matariki art is gonna look like.

Navigation by the Stars

L.I: Is to understand how to use the Matariki stars.

Matariki is a really fascinating event where the 7 stars come out. These stars weren't only for show they were also there for navigation. These stars were used for over 100 years, these were used to know which way was west south and all that. These stars are so unique in some way of form where our ancestors used them.

Importance of Matariki

L.I: Is to understand the importance of Matariki.

Matariki is such a wonderful event where the most famous stars in Maori history comes out. These stars are named Matariki the mother and her 6 daughters Tupu-ā-nuku, Tupu-ā-rangi, Waitī, Waitā, Waipunā-ā-rangi and Ururangi. But so much people don't really know that importance about it. People might think its just to look at the stars, It actually means that its a new year for maori cultures.

Summary of Matariki.

L.I: Is to make a short description about our topic.

Matariki is just around the corner, but most people don't know what matariki is. So I created a summary that write a short description on what it is. This talks about the different name of each star including the mother. I also talked about when this magnificent event starts which happens late may, But if not it would be on early June. The thing that I liked about this task is that I got to play with my friends and that we all the same understanding about this task.
