Tech

Learning Intention: To program Mbot to follow black line using made codes

Today, this week for tech, we were programming our mbots to follow the black line using our own made codes. All we had to do for this was to name our code, put the code under our code so when we place our code, it will do the code you put for it. I used the names To right, To Left, Back, and Follow for the name of the codes I made. I liked coding because I am good at programming with computers.

Aeronautical Engineering | Pathway

Learning Intention: To find out what qualifications I will need to become an Aeronautical Engineer

Today, I created a DLO about my Job Career pathway. This involves me finding out what I will need t study at school, college, and university. I need to study Mathematics, Aircraft Structures, Engine Systems, Aerodynamics, Thermodynamics, Civil Aviation Laws, Mechanical Process, Metal, or Materials, and Computer-Aided Design. I also needed to find out the experience I needed to become an Aeronautical Engineer. I needed to have worked with something that is involving machinery, technical drawings, and inventing mechanical, or electronic devices, or equipment. I love this subject about jobs, and careers, because I like finding out jobs, or careers I could do when I grow up!

Dance class #1

Today for kiwi sport (PE), we were dancing. Our coach (Miss Rebecca), Taught us about dance. She was talking about how dance is expressive, involves movement, being creative, and there is no wrong way to dance, because anything that involves your body moving, is a dance. So the topic of this weeks Dance, was Me and my body. This was about getting to move our bodies by moving around in different ways. First we started our session with a warm up. We did this by moving around our hall, and dancing. We were in a big circle for this. After that, we did a challenge where we have to dance until music stops which we have to make a shape that is called out! This was fun!

Visit To Life Education

This week we went to Life Education. We went in groups. I was in group 1 which is the volleyball team. The first session was about our Hauora and our brain. First we watched videos about Kapi, and what’s happening to him. He was getting bullied, which caused him to play video games all day in the weekend, not cleaning his room, or even having a shower. Next we learnt about the brain, and the brain cells. There are about billions of brain cells, and you think 7,000 thoughts a day. That was what we learnt for the first session. The next session we learnt about how bad drugs are to our brains. We also sent a letter to Kapi, about how he can help himself build his walls back from Hauora. I learnt a lot of new things.


Science | Summary

L.I to summaries the information

This week for our reading topic (science), we created a summary using the information from our post it notes. In our summary, we skimmed and scanned to find the important keywords. We also shared our ideas and collaborated to create our summary. For our next activity, we used a question dice to help us create three interesting questions that we wanted to research. We all worked together in these activities.


The three most interesting questions are:


  • When was science discovered? 

  • Why is science important?

  • How is science different from the past to today?



Sience | Main Ideas

L.I To find the three most vital ideas from the information to help us find the answer “What is science”. 

This week our reading topic is science. We watched a video which helped us understand what science is. While watching the video, we took notes, by selecting and rejecting the information. We used the information to identify the three most vital ideas. We shared our ideas among each other and negotiated on where to put the information on, whether it was 4 very important ideas or three most vital ideas. We also collaborated and respected each other's opinions for this activity. 

We think the three most vital ideas are:
Science is an answer and has the power to destroy and heal.
Science includes physics, chemistry and biology.
Science is discovering new things.
