Kiwi Can

L.I to recap about what we had learnt about what we did last term.
For Kiwi Can we were learning about the big T and the little t which the big T is Resilience and the little t is Emotions. The energizer was when we had to do a few things and tell what we had felt when we did the mini activity's.  The activity was that we had to show what we had be feeling but we were not allowed to speak. We talked about emotions and how we can show emotions using our body.

L.I to learn about how to create new things. Motat means Museum Of Transport And Technology. We were lucky to go to Mind Lab which is in Motat which is the topic for our Inquiry. At Mind Lab we were assigned to create a electric car with: Cardboard (for body), skewers (for axle), motor, wheels, propeller and tape. When making these cars we are learning about engineering. We then went on to making a light that stays on with a little of human power. We were given a example of what a person created a windmill that makes the light stay on when you move it. We had to make this out of: motor, cogs, base (which was blocks that could connect) and LED (Light Emitting Diode). We then went exploring around Motat and saw lots of old transport vehicles.

Possum problem

LI: to separate fact from opinion
Fact is something that is true, and a Opinion is what someone things which is what their belief. We first did activity and got a statement and we had to prove if it was Fact or Opinion? Our work was to read a book on the Problem about Possums in New Zealand. We then had to find out the main idea, and find the facts and opinion in the book. We then had to make a poster about if we should exterminate possums, or protect them.

Persuasive language

L.I What is Persuasive.                                                                                                                         For writing we are learning about persuasive language. We have to make a poster about the ways you can have an argument. Bias means to take side. Perspective means the way that you see it. We started with a video from kid president. There are six things to do in a argument: Breathe, love, Distract them from the long talk and others. Video LINK

L.I to learn more about reading.
For Duffy theater we were lucky to have them and the performance was about Duffy gets stuck in the game. The three people that was doing the role play was great and we know what it is like to remember all lines for the act.

Word problems presentation

LI: to solve word problems of different types.

Word problems are problems that are explained in words. We had four word problems we had to finish. We had to use place value adding and adding in parts. Place Value adding is adding the ones, tens, hundreds and thousands. Place value adding is the easier adding then adding in parts. Adding in parts is picking a number out of the one numbers that you have to answer and adding the other numbers to make the number you picked a tidy number.

Kiwi Can

L.I to learn all the topics that we learnt though the term.

For kiwi can are learning about our topic, responsibility. Responsibility is taking action when needed. For example leading a team to victory (That's what I do, I carry teams). Our catch phrase is, "Kiwi Can says: Responsible is what I am, and that's the way of Kiwi Can.

For the activity was not really a activity because we had to write down the three things that we need to work on and achieve before the end of the term.

After we had a reflection on what we had talked about during the session. We spoke as a group about different integrity we have against the school, home and community.

L.I to learn about maori.
For Maori we were learning about some Matariki and about two other stories which relate to Matariki. We then had to write down the maori way of saying i like and type in what we likeat the end of the sentence.

Life on other planets

L.I to if other planets can support life.
Space is a huge place where there is nothing. We are learning about sustain life on planets. There are six main elements of life. Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Sulphur. Our work was to pick a planet to study, and research to try to find out if that planet can support human life in the future using help by machines. We had to present it to the group and get scores for them. The planet we picked to study on is Mars and Neptune.

Constellations

L.I to skim, scan and summarize information.
Constellations are a shape of something that is made up of stars. They are created by ancient people who saw stars and imagined of what it looks like. Skimming is reading a book and looking for information. Scanning is trying to find specific information. Summarising is reading a book and retelling it. So we had an activity to make constellations using skewers and marshmallows. Marshmellows were the star and the skewers were the lines that make the constellation. We had to choose a constellation to make and write down information about. The two constellations I have done is Leo, and Scorpius.
