LI:To experiment with colours
This morning we tried one of this year’s Kick Start Summer Learning Journey activities. The purpose of this task was to
experiment with colours by mixing colours from the original palette with pop colours. This allowed us to recolours famous
painting or images of landmarks around the world. The picture i chose is called Moon masque by Lois Mailou Jones .
LI: To identify author’s purpose.
During reading we also talked about Current News in New Zealand. In groups of 4-5 we explored our current news in NZ using different News Websites like - RNZ (Radio NZ), Newshub, NZ Herald, Kiwi Kids News and more. Each day, newspaper editors around the world must make desicions about which stories they will run. We explored the different types of current events that are happening in New Zealand, thought about why the story made the news and plotted the location on a google map. Here are the reasons of each news we placed on our Google Maps.
LI:To identify and consider the two perspectives of this provocation to help me form an opinion.
Today we made a provocation DLO. A provocation is an action or speech that triggers strong feelings about a topic. Today we considered both sides of the provocation which is the YES and the NO our provocation was Should masks be compulsory on NZ public transport?’ We then used that information to help us form an opinion that we were all happy with our decision. Our opinion was a Yes and No because there are some reasons for why we need to wear a mask and there are some reasons why we shouldn’t wear one. Both Yes and No reasons are equally important. We need to stay safe and away from the covid 19 and other diseases.
This week we were put into groups for maths In these groups we made up names that represent maths or includes maths names , our name that we chose for our group was The multiplying 7’s because we had seven people in our group and we were supposed to multiply our questions we were given . In the multiplying 7’s were Victoria our leader Giovannie,Makaili,Afa,Karlos , Ong and Lily , we put all of our opinions together to come with different solutions to solve our challenges and we would have to ask questions if we didn't understand the question or ask for help because no one should have sat in silence because we are a team and we are all supposed participate so we all can have friendship even though we haven't worked together but we did make a big difference and we worked as a good team whether we liked working together or not.
L.I : Is to learn about rocket ships and find out how many fins does the rocket ship need.
This week for tech, The year 7s Worked with Mrs Sharma and Mr Dunn. Mr Dunn showed us by explaining and understanding How many fins does the rocket need to fly ( No Fins , 2 Fins or 4 Fins). For my prediction. I think my rocket needs 4 fins to fly into the sky. We also started off by getting straws and making it into rocket ships. We created it by turning the front tip and bending it. After bending it, we needed to grab some scalar tape and put it onto the straw. We then started off by writing keywords that link to rocket science. We also learned interesting facts and information about rockets. The most interesting fact I learned was that there is a New Zealand Rocket company called Rocket Lab and learning about who works with them. Thanks again to Mr Dunn for helping and understanding more on Rocket sciences.
