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.

Smart searching

                                       L.I to use keywords for better researching.                                                                                               For Cyber Smart we are learning about how to research using keywords.

Motat Mind lab

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

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. I am doing a quiz about basic addition to 20. LINK to quiz.
