Making Clever Clothes & Keeping houses warm or cool - Aoraki

WALT -  Evaluating - I gather, and synthesis to evaluate information across a range of texts
SUCCESS CRITERIA:  I can clearly outline what the texts have in common and how they differ.


Our learning intention last week was to learn about How to make clever clothes and Keeping houses warm or cool, We had to gather information across a range of texts. We answered questions about the Journal we were reading. I gathered enough information and explained my answer underneath the questions I was given.

Well Weathered - Maths

Answer:

• Kaitaia at the moment is the best weather out of Kaitaia and Tekapo, As it shows in the graphs Kaitaia is just above Tekapo in weather

• In Kaitaia and Tekapo the weather is great the sun is out but it’s just way too cold. Even though its sunny it can be cold.

• How much it went from the start to the end, It could show us what temperature it was at the start and how cold it was at the end of the night.

• Yes, As it shows in the graph Kaitaia was the warmest.

• Tekapo seems to be the one that rains less than Kaitaia, Kaitaia weather hasn’t been all sunshine.
• It starts off with a low amount of rain and than it goes heavy rain.
• I wonder how long did it rain for?
• I discussed with my class mate that it may of rained all day since the levels of the rainfall is very high but then we also think that it may of rained in the morning, afternoon than at night.

Too Much Telly

Answer below:

1:

• They spend more time watching Tv

2:

• It's different because the time changes every day throughout the week

3:

• Yes because they’ve spent more time watching Tv then doing their homework unless in that small amount of time they finished and it was easy from their perspective.

Answer questions below:

1:

• Same: They both spend more time watching tv then doing the homework.
• Different:Room 5 spends more time doing their homework than Room 6.

2:

• Yes, Did you know that it could wreck your eyesight. It also disturbs your brain, Sleeping patterns and you’ll forget to do things you’re meant to do.

3:

• They spend more time watching Tv or either doing something other than Home Work, What I think we need to do is to at least spend 10 - 20 minutes answering 5 - 10 questions.

Staying Warm, Keeping cool.

WALT -  Evaluating - I gather, and synthesis to evaluate information across a range of texts


Last week our learning intention was to focus on Warming up and Cooling down. We had to explain the differences between certain animals to us humans of how to keep warm, For Sea mammals Blubber is what keeps sea animals warm such as Seals and Whales. Us humans have fat and clothes to keep us warm, See how many differences between the two. Wonder what will happen if it was the other way around.

Maths - Choice Squares

Why do you think Mr Winiata drew a question mark?

• Because some students may have more than one favorite fruit.

Which three graph/Chart are shown?

• Pie Chart, Bar Graph and Pictograph.

Each student chose one of the fruits or the ? and drew it on a blank choice square.

• Jo collected all these choice squares to display the results.

Jo made a graph:

Which graph do you think most clearly shows in Room 8s Favorite fruit? (Explain why)

• Bar graph. I chose this graph/chart because it shows how much fruit there are, What type of fruit it is and shows the title of what the graph is showing.

Immersion Assembly - Term 2

Term 2, Day one. We kicked off the day with our original Assembly with the year 7&8's, Working towards the goals we need to achieve throughout the week. Throughout the school we all collaborate in the start of the term and share what we're learning towards to the end of the term, Team 1 - 5 all had an act or movie to present. Interesting enough? Keep up and I'll tell you what we're learning towards.

Team 5 was up and as the students cheered for the fellow teachers that were going to act. I knew this was going to be hilarious when the theme song of Bob the builder started playing as Mr Wiseman, Mrs Judd, Miss Tapuke and Mrs Ilaoa walked onto the stage. The Teachers started off with dancing away on the stage, One by one going to the back of the stage except for Mr Wiseman. Mr Wiseman explained who he was, He was Bob the builder. As he sang the Bob the Builder theme song, Terribly! but in funny ways. We all joined to support, We laughed at the facials he was making the moves that he had. From my perspective it was my favorable act.

The other 3 teachers came popping out one by one from the back stage complaining about things they have noticed around Team 5, Mrs Judd wanted to clean up the soil that was left over and our garden rules. Miss Tapuke had a problem with cushions, Messy piles and strings hanging out. Then Mrs Ilaoa had an issue with the bags owned by the students in team 5, They were all left on the ground no where to put them at all. It's same with the other problems, They wanted useful things to use for team 5 space.

So? What we're learning towards in Team 5 is to create something useful we could use in Team 5, Helpful things. I've got an idea already in mind but that's another story, What could we use to help Team 5 improve into something better? Little things can be helped by using big ideas and us children have a lot of ideas planned already. Stay tuned to see what we have set for Term 2.
