LI:To Create an advert. In term three we were learning about advertising. Another word used is commercial. Our commercial is all about a thneeds. We created a plan for the advert.First we looked at some commercials and described it. Then we had to make a poster trying to get people attention.
LI: to make an Infographic on Reading
In Term 1 we were learning about Infographics. Infographics are like a poster mainly only having pictures. The pictures in a Infographic have to explain what you are talking about, and there should also be a little bit of writing just to let the people understand it more. So we made an Infographic about reading. The questions we had to answer in the Infographic is: What is Reading? Why do we read? What reader are we? What helps us read?
LI: to display data on a graph
In Term 1 we started learning about graphs. A graph is something that shows data in an organised way. For this activity we made graphs about LS1. We had to make six graphs. Every group had the same data. The graphs we made were: who has pets, who has what amount of siblings, favourite subject, holiday activities, birthdays, and languages. We made one of them as a group then make one ourselves. The graphs had to be made digitally and some handmade.
LI: to manage finances and profit by creating with maths.
Managing finances and profit is what we are learning and doing for this term. We are learning about how to use and make money by spending it wisely. We all have bank accounts and we have a opening balance. Each person gets a 50 dollar opening balance. We have commissions to complete that are different levels that earn us different amount of money if finished. we are doing a quiz about ratio word problems.
LI: to tmake a Rube Goldberg machine with all the six simple machines.
We had to try make a Rube Goldberg machine with the simple six machines. A Rube Goldberg machine is a complicated machine to do a simple thing. It took us 2 tries to get every thing working. I was the person working with the wheel and axle. We used a incline plain, wheel and axle and a lever.
To create our machine we used a chair and some wood to make the incline plane. We used a car and a book to start our machine. Then someone tips the book, the book hits the car and the car comes down the incline plain, as soon as it gets to the bottom it's going to the person at the bottom of a table. The person at the bottom of the table is going to roll the ball in his hand. The ball then rolls and hits the person standing in front of the table. The person in front of the table is going to roll the basketball then the basketball comes down hits the person next to him. Then when the basketball hit the person next to him, the person next to him slides under the table and hits the person that is at the finish. The person at the finish is going to roll the ball down the incline plain and the ball hits the cup with the dice in it.
The thing I found challenging was trying to get everything working by putting people in the right order. I would change people being under the table because they could hit their head when one little mistake happens.
Today in LS1 for Kiwisport, we learned about the Ki o Rahi field. There are 6 parts to the field:
Te Ao - "the world"
Pou - "teeth"
Te Roto - "the river"
Pawero - "the island"
Te Ara - "the ice bridge"
Tupu - "the rock"
To remember the parts of the Ki o Rahi field, we played Golden Child. The taniwha team play in Te Roto, trying to score points by throwing the ki (ball) at the tupu. The Kioma team run around Te Roto, touching the pou. They then run up alongside Te Ara and score a point by scoring a try in the Pawero.
LS1 contributes It's a Bit Dicey to the 2018 Manaiakalani Film Festival.
The Olympics are an example of many different kinds of people coming together to compete in the spirit of mutual respect, self improvement, and friendly competition. Everyone has the intent of being friendly, but people have put a lot of hard training into their performance. What might happen if there was a dispute?
The producers and writers of this movie have made a parody on old poorly dubbed kung fu movies to satirise a number of themes, but mainly certain behaviours that can be (although shouldn't be) expressed in high end competition.
As was the case for LS1's movie last year, learners were given a theme, then told to write a narrative. The best narrative was chosen to be made into a movie.
