Nelson mandela

 

Vector art was the third activity that I have done. To create these images it uses lines, curves to create the image. When people create this art is doesn't looks the focus/quality of the image, if people zoom in. 

I chose someone that inspires me and the person that inspires me is nelson mandela because he give really inspirational quotes and speeches.

Hauora - olmpics

LI: To show our understanding of Hauora in context.

  

Athletes at the top of their field train both physically and mentally because it is both the body and the mind that need to be healthy to have balance as an athlete. It is important to enjoy and celebrate the results of what hard work has led to since it might be a one time opportunity. Olympic athletes that have earned a medal should be proud of themselves, and olympians that have unfortunately lost should be grateful for the opportunity.

Tech/Coding

 L.I to use and understand the connection between he writen, the block code and the flow chart.

This is the comparison between the Python coding, the blocks and the flowchart for making the Microbit act like a dice.

Mindfulness reflection

 LI: to understand the definition of mindfulness. 

Mindfulness is relaxing your body, and having a calm mindset. Mindfulness discriminates against all the negative emotions going throughout your mind. This makes us more engaged in our learning and the things we are doing.  

Today we had a session in LS2 about mindfulness. To relax our minds and bodies we took a few minutes to breathe in and out. This helped us clear our heads and clear our thoughts. It is treated as a taonga ( with a level of respect ). 

olympic medals

 

this is my olympic medals. each medal represents what place an athlete came in. the bronze medal represents third place.the silver medal represents 2nd place and the gold means 1st place in the race and those are my medals and what they mean. 

current events

 

This week for Reading we learnt about author's purpose. Authors write for a purpose/reason. These reasons are to Persuade, Inform, Explain or Entertain (PIE).

First we looked at Kiwi Kids News to find a article. Then, we made a copy of the Current Events DLO and answered these questions:

What 

When 

Where 

Why 

The article i was reading about was called 

Olympic Games - Day 2

Tech/Coding

 To understand how flowcharts relate to coding blocks.

To understand how to get the microbit to talk to another microbit using radio signals.

Here is my flowchart practice document.

Matariki stars

 L.I to make a DLO about the matariki stars

to continue our learning with Matariki we drew the Matariki stars, and labeled each of them. This activity helped us identify each star, and learn each of the names to strengthen our connections to not only Matariki but the culture and celebration. It was really fun doing this as this was an art based activity. We were able to edit these stars and it was very fun doing. 

matariki brochure

Inside 

Outside

This week for the matariki challenges we created 2 brochures which was an inside brochure and an outside bochure. For my inside brochure, me and my group explained about the matariki stories, how matariki was celebrated in the past and what food was harvest at the festival. For my outside bochure, we explained matariki and wrote fact about it too.

What I found a bit hard is that i didn't know any fact so I had to reaserch it.

Matariki stars

 LI: to understand the origins of Matariki

Matariki is the Maori new year celebration. It takes places each year when the cluster of stars known as Matariki are seen in our skies. The new year is a time for new beginnings and is a time to embrace tradition

To strengthen our connections to Matariki we had a choice of research activities.

I found out how to find the matariki stars

I enjoyed this activity because I worked with other people that i didnt work with.

Poster

L.I to show what we like to do  

this is a poster all about me this explains what i like and what I would like to have and be in 

I am tongan and maori my favorite basketball player is steph curry and my favorite rugby team in state of origin is new south wales those are some of the things I like. 

Coding in python

L.I to learn to code the microbit in python

This first one shows the Python coding for a flashing heart. It flashes between a small heart icon and a large heart icon. The main thing to notice between the Python coding and the blocks is that the forever loop is at the top and bottom of the content in both.

Organizing and Researching

 LI: To use our smart searching skills to expand our knowledge of Ancient Greek Mythology.

Today David shared the next reading challenge with us. It is all about the Greek gods and helps us to practise the skills we have been learning in our reading lessons with our teachers. 

David created this task as part of his CARE award challenges. In this smart searching activity, we used our comprehension and research skills to learn about Greek Mythology vocabulary and identify Greek places on the map.

I found this activity interesting because we got to learn a bunch of new words and places about Ancient Greece, we also learnt a lot of words revolving around Politics which was very interesting. 

The word/place I found most interesting was Alexander the Great because he was known for his amazin standout feats in battle.

Dream

 L.I to edit our writing using draft

 

This week for writing we has been working on Abstract Noun Poems. Me and my partner's abstract noun is about Dream. An Abstract noun is something that exists but you cannot touch, an abstract noun also comes with metaphors and 5 senses. The 5 senses we use to make our poem powerful is using (smell,taste,hear,feeling and see). Something that helped us out of writing our abstract nouns is using Metaphors , Simile , complex sentences , punctuation, complex sentences and word hippo.

Then the next day we edited our poems using DRAFT (Delete, Rearange, Add, Fix, Talk)

Something we found interesting is how the DRAFT System works.

Something we learnt is how the DRAFT system works
