Inquiry - VR Research

Today we had a special day because we got to use the VR systems to learn more about bridges. Yvonne and the research team came from the Augmented human lab at Auckland University to run some tests and use the VR systems to help us with our learning in the future. There were a majority of use so we got split into 2 different groups and got to do 2 different activities. The 2 different activities was using the VR cardboard and the magic window. The magic window was a fun activity and was something like a optical illusion. You are suppose to see a hidden image that's impossible to see with your eyes, but is possible through these special glasses. We were lucky enough to receive this opportunity and had an amazing time.

Careers

Today for Inquiry we discussed what we want to do in the future. We went on a website and picked the jobs we were most interested in. At the end it calculated which career most suits us the most. What first popped up was a navy sailor. You can get 109,000 per year if your a Warrant officer. We all had fun and enjoyed learning about what careers we wanted to pursue. We learnt that a job is something temporary that you do for money an a career is something you want to pursue for the rest of your life.

Matariki - Information Brochure

Today for Matariki we worked collaboratively with LS1 to learn about Matariki and to share our knowledge. We have created an Information Brochure with what we know about Matariki and the 7 stars. We added a picture of the 7 stars and Maori traditional foods such as boil up. We learnt that in the olden days they used the Matariki 7 stars in the sky to guide them through the pacific. We enjoyed learning about Matariki and are looking forward to learn more about the stars.

Christmas in Canada

To celebrate Christmas we got into groups of four and worked collaboratively to find out about Christmas in different countries all around the world. My group worked on Canada and we found a lot of interesting things about Canada and what they do differently from New Zealand. In Canadian another name for Santa is Joulupikki or Father frost. To show our learning we recorded our google drawing using screencastify. I worked on this DLO with Shannon, Joshua and Magenta.

Shot types

Today we are learning about shot types and when they use it. I have found 3 shot types which is high angle shot, Over the shoulder shot and close up shot. LS2 have been watching the movie Princess Bride and I have notices similar shot types in the movie. I enjoyed the movie Princess Bride and also recommend it for kids.

What is a coalition?

Today we have been learning about what a coalition is and how it affects the government. A coalition is when small political parties join forces with bigger political parties and give them more seats in parliament.Today I have learnt who our local MP is, her name is Denise lee and represents Maungakiekie she was born on 4 December 1970 and is a member of National.

Bullying Animations

For this task we had to create an animation or a movie to tell others how to stand up to bully's. On of the main things you do is Stand up & Speak out, we also us WITS to stand up to bully's. I had really fun creating this activity, and learning how to stand up to bully's. 

Why it's great to be me?

It great to be me because I get to play in any sport competitions during my time at school. I'm still young and active, I am competitive sometimes even if it's not a game. Lastly it great to be me because I get to learn different things about history, culture, Maths,Reading,Writing and different types of sports. I found this easy because I had to technically describe my qualities and things about me.

Why is it so important to keep oral story telling alive?

Keeping Maori storytelling alive is important because it helps people remember their culture’s history. When each generation hears stories about it, it keeps them captivated.

Sanujan, San Kyaw and I created this 25 word summary using 6 words of our own choice. We listened to facts and reasons of why we should keep oral story telling alive and used the facts collaboratively to create this. We think story telling is important because it keeps children captivated when they hear about it. 

Inquiry

Today we had to write our opinions on how we should help to stop littering rubbish around schools. We had different opinions but had to pick one of our best without talking or arguing. Our opinions was to come school without packaged lunch. 

Current Events

For Inquiry, Miki and I created a DLO about what has happened in the news recently.
This is a current event about the Chinese government banning the sales of ivory.
Miki and I think that this was a good decision because the
elephants might become instinct if the buying and selling of ivory will be allowed to continue.

Te Oro - Performance

Today I went to Te Oro to do a performance and represent Panmure Bridge School we also went to Te Oro to celebrate Te Taio O Tamaki in this performance I was Tane Mahuta I was in the green pillar. Joseph and Marieta was the main characters. This was a fun show because it taught everybody to save the environment and why. Our performance also came from the past,present and future. 

Aucklanders being asked to conserve water

In inquiry we created a DLO about why people around Auckland are bring asked to

conserve water. We created this DLO to help people understand an important

message and also to save water. Aucklanders can help by saving 20 litres of water

for each person everyday. Conserve means saving or using a very little amount

of something. This means we have to save and use a little amount of water.

Omaru River

In Inquiry we are learning about ecosystems. Mataio and I created a DLO about the positive things that the water care and Mad Ave have done. We also wrote what bad things we have been doing. These pictures show the Omaru River and 2 volunteers clean and planting trees at Omaru River.  We need to stop littering because you can crate a blockage and turn Omaru River into stagnant water.

Agent of Change 25 word Summary

In Inquiry we learnt what a agent of change is we had to come up

with ideas and write a good 25 word summary Ofa and I used 

punctuations this is me and Ofa's summary. 

Agent of change

\
This is our DLO that Mataio, Fraiddon and I made. This is a DLO about how to
be a agent of change and what is a agent of change. This is important because
if people were still pouring poop and wees the marine life will die and
the ocean will be polluted. But the person who changed that is called a agent
of change.

What is a River?

In Inquiry we learnt what was a river. This photo is showing the Tamaki River.
Theres the mouth, Estuarial arm and meander. We wrote a Explanation about
Rivers just by using 25 words but me and Jericho used 26 words. I found this
a little bit easy because we watched a video that was explaining what a river is
this was fun and easy as well.
