L.I: Is to Create a DLO that talks about a famous physicist 

This week for reading we started on finding information about a famous physicist. The person that i chose to talk about is Albert Einstein and how he was famous for the theory of relativity which is one of the two pillars of modern physics. The thing that I liked about this task is that I got to learn more about Elbert Einstein and the things he discovered.

Natural disaster

L.I: Is to show 3 steps that could help in a natural disaster

As schools shut down for level 3 lockdown, we started to get ready for our learning. during distant learning, we had been given a task to do with natural disasters that could occur around the globe. I have made a poster representing the three steps you could do encase of an earthquake. These steps can help you on what to do before an earthquake, during an earthquake and after an earthquake. The thing that I liked about this task is how I got to find things to help people that might have troubles during an earthquake and not knowing what to do.

Disaster Story's

L.I: Is to find out how to keep safe in a natural disaster.

As for level 3 coming to New Zealand and distance learning. We started to learn the disasters that might occur in your local area. The natural disaster that I did that could happened is an earthquake. When finding information I found some interesting facts about the earthquake in Christchurch. I had to answer what causes an earthquake and what it looks like. The thing that I liked about this task was how I got to use my smart researching skills to find these piece of information. 

Game Shopping Challenge

This week New Zealand moved to level 3 so we had to do distance learning. We started on maths which was all about trying to use effective strategy to answer question. This was a really fun because of how i was trying to pay for things in the shop. Some of the question was really tricky but at the end i managed to get most of the questions correct.

Volleyball inter school

Volleyball inter school was amazing as our year 6, 7 and 8's got to compete in the volleyball inter school on a beautiful Wednesday morning. We took the bus all the way to Selwyn College with students who knew the rules reffing the games. When we got there the stadium was humongous with a total of 4 courts. At first we were nervous but as we got used to playing, our confidence started to build up, which got us to do more of spiking and serving over hand. We ended up winning 3 games and losing 3 which was really good. It showed that we improved on our skills over the past few weeks with spiking, receiving and serving the ball. The thing that I liked about this years volleyball inter school was how I got to play against other school with all my friends.

Tech (Robotics)

L.I: Is to understand how to code your robot with your own codes.

This week for tech we started on coding our robots to follow a black line. With this task we were getting taught how to make our own coding block which will follow a black line. With the creations of our own blocks we had to code them to move 4 directions. This was a fun experiment since it was following something by its self. We also coded the Mbot to stop when it encounters something in front of it.

Career pathway

L.I: To find out the qualities I need to become a Building and Construction Manager.

As people grow up they start to get older until they get a job, which we were talking about. This week  we were choosing our jobs by asking a lot of question and it will calculate the results and fit in all the jobs you could get in. The job that I chose was a Building and Construction Manager as you can see from my DLO. I had to look for the skills required to join and the things I need to learn. The thing that I liked about this task was how we got to look through the results of jobs we got.
