Maths: Making 3 Dimensional Shapes

L.I: To create my own 3D shape with a different capacity from volume

This week for maths, we created our own 3 dimensional shapes. Last week we created a plan as to how we would create these shapes, and now it was the time to put the parts together. My shape I created was a pentagonal prism, with a capacity different to it's volume. The way we created these shapes was to use a net (An unfolded 3D shape) that we would fold to make our 2D net turn into a 3D shape. Our net needed to include small tab, which we would glue on, and press onto the sides to allow the shape to hold together. The next part to our work was to create an instructional video that showed people how to make one of these shapes. For this part I worked with Alex (Who voiced the video), Julian (Who was acting / folding in the video), and I was recording and editing the video.

Inquiry: Hauora Animation

L.I: There Was No Learning Intension

This week for inquiry, we had to make animation/s or video/s that showed people about what Hauora is to people. What I had done for this weeks work was create an animation, and I made a single animation that showed all of the parts for Hauora. This animation I've made is my longest animation, and I think the best animation I've made so far. I had a lot of fun making this animation, and how it's turned out is what I like the most.

Writing: 1 Minute Technology Speech

L.I: Having a point of view and constructing an argument.
L.I: Structure of an argument
This week for writing, we started making small speeches as for preparation to our real speech we'll be presenting to the school. Our must do was to create a speech that we hypothetically agreed, or disagreed with. Our topic for this speech was whether we should have technology in schools, and to make my speech more interesting, I chose to make mine about why we shouldn't have technology in school, even though I am one of the many people that use technology a lot of the time. Our speech needed to include our point of view to the topic, and why it is a bad / good thing to possibly be changed.

Link To My Speech Video Video Recorded On FlipGrid

My Actual Speech If I Wasn't Clear Enough
Technology shouldn’t be in schools, there are many reasons why. A lot of children decide to not follow along with their work, but instead they choose to do things that they would rather do, e.g play games, email their friends, etc. Technology can take away the time that children have to learn when technology randomly doesn't work the way it’s supposed to. There are many many commands that children don’t understand, if they trigger these inputted commands, it could lead to a series of events. Their computer, iPad or phone can mess up easily any time when not used the correct way. They’re also really expensive, and that can change the way a child’s living conditions are. A lot of families cannot afford these expensive, fragile items. Handwriting as well is something that has affected the original education system. Children have forgotten about their old way of learning, and it has changed what they previously knew. The possibility of children learning digitally is not a complete set of education to the child.

Reading: Possum Problem Poster

L.I: to separate fact from opinion
L.I: to identify the main ideas in a text

This week for reading, we read a text talking about why possums are a problem to New Zealand. As an activity to this topic we had to either agree with the text, or disagree with it. With our opinion for this topic, we had to create a poster that showed our point of view, and our reasons for what we think. In my poster I included that I think possums should be gone. My reason for this is within the poster

KiwiSport: Run Jump Throw

Today we did our KiwiSport for week 5. This week our focus was about the way we jump. We learnt that when you jump you have your legs in line with your shoulders, swing your arms back, and look straight. Although before we could do any of that, we played octopus as a warm up. I enjoyed this weeks KiwiSport session. We all learnt a lot about the correct way to jump, and hopefully we'll remember for next time.

Maths: Making Our Own 2D Nets

L.I: To create my own 3D shape with a different capacity from volume.

This week for maths, we created our own nets for a 3D shape. A net is the unfolded version of a 3 dimensional shape. We had to get the measurements for each side, the volume of the shape, the capacity of the shape, and we needed to include tabs to show what parts you would join together. I also decided to draw what the shape would look like from the top, the left side, and the right side.

Writing: Point Of View Paragraphs

L.I: what is a point of view

This week for writing, we've been learning about point of view. So with this being our theme, we had to make ourselves a 2 paragraph text, with a topic that you want to make an argument about. Each person in our group had to create one of these, and we had to read everyone's paragraphs in our groups, and either agree or disagree with his / her argument.

My Paragraphs.

My Problem: Plagiarism

School Plagiarism:

Plagiarism, it’s a big problem. Not only does it happen in school, but outside of school as well. Plagiarism is just a synonym for cheating, or for more detail, taking someone's work, and not giving credit to the rightful owner. In school plagiarism is one of the worst things you can do. You need to write a paragraph about World War 1? Some people would search up about it, find a website, and copy and paste the information into their work. It looks like you made a great example, until if you’re told to add more information to it while demonstrating to other people. That’s one case of plagiarism, there are many many ways to plagiarise people work.

Online Plagiarism:

This type of plagiarism can be worse in most cases. Online plagiarism is very risky, because of what the consequences can be. If you steal someone’s work without consent of allowance, you can possibly have to pay a fine. This can also happen with imposters, if they pretend to be someone, then they need to pretend that they own everything of the person they’re imposing. In this case things can get very bad very fast. The consequences can be things as bad as going to jail over stealing work, and identity. Besides stealing online work, or imposing other people, there are many more ways that you could plagiarise. Who knows, you may even have a piece of work that you don’t own, and you don’t even realise what you’ve done. What I want is for no one to plagiarise anyone, I hope you agree as well.

KiwiCan: KiwiCan Week 5

Today we had our KiwiCan week 5 lesson. We are still learning about our emotions, and we're still learning about controlling our thoughts. We played two small games, a game were we had to stand in small circles and try to roll a tennis ball through each persons legs, and a game where everyone stood in a circle, number 1 - 4, and if your number was called you run into the centre trying not to get hit with a dodge ball. When you weren't in the centre you had to roll the ball to keep people from getting hurt. We all had fun today, and we especially enjoyed our games.

Inquiry: Hauora

L.I: There was no LI.

This week for inquiry we've been learning about Hauora. Hauora makes up of four parts, your physical health, your emotions, your social interactions (Your family and friends), and the spiritual parts of your life. We did two activities this week, making an infographic about one of the Hauora parts, while other people (Your group) would work on the other parts, and moving boxes into the right squares depending on what's written in the boxes. For the first activity I created the Taha Whanau (Social interactions) infographic, and worked with four other people. For the second activity I worked with Jonathan. Most of our answers were correct, but we had put 2 of them in the wrong square.

Reading: Fact Or Opinion

L.I: To separate fact from Opinion
L.I: To identify the main ideas in a text
This week for reading we did a small activity about fact and opinion. We had to watch a short clip from the movie Mystery Men, and then come up with 4 facts about the scene, and then come up with 4 opinions about the scene. After that activity we had to do a Main Idea Summery Frame about the scene. A fact is something that can be proven by a single answer, while on the other hand opinion is what 1+ people think of something, yet other people think otherwise. From this activity I've learnt about how to find a fact in a video or text, and how to find someones opinion in a video or text.

Scene Link

Text title: Superhero Speech

Author: Mystery Men

I think the main idea of this text is about Shovelers speech about why they shouldn’t run away.

One example of a supporting detail is that the majority of the scene is Shoveler giving his speech about this topic.

Another example of a supporting detail is because the scenes name is Shovelers Speech, and that’s what the scene is about

It is clear that the main idea is about Shovelers speech about why they shouldn’t run away. Because that’s what the scene is about both by name, and by what is seen.

KiwiCan: KiwiCan Wk 4

This week for KiwiCan, we learnt about self control. We did two activities within our KiwiCan time, and I enjoyed every bit of it. The first activity was Bip Bob Bounce, and the rules were simple. Get into a circle, and one person with be in the middle. The centre person would point at any person around them, and either say Bip Bob Bounce, or Bounce. If the phrase Bip Bop Bounce is said, whoever is pointed at will have to say bang before the phrase is finished, although when you're pointed at and just the word bounce is said, you have to stay quiet. The second activity was GKQ (General Knowledge Questions). For GKQ, a group of people would stand up, and a question would be asked. There would be a buzzer for each KiwiCan session, and for this session our buzzer was turn around, touch the the ground, Bip, Bop, Bounce.

Writing: Creating Our Own Persuasive Advertisements

L.I: to create our own advertisement

This week for writing, we had to create with our group an advertisement advertiseing anything we wanted. My group chose to do a stationery pack for children in school. We all had a role for the advertisement. Alex and Julian acted as classmates, Victoria acted as their teacher, Nyjah threw the stationery pack at Alex and Julian, Sakina held up the computer to record, and I semi recorded the advertisement, and edited it. Although before we could do any of that, we needed to understand the basics for when making an advertisement. We looked into what techniques are used to persuade people, what we would do to make an ad people enjoy watching, and we had to plan out or advertisement.

Maths: Unfolding 3D Shapes

L.I: To unfold a 3D shape into a net.

L.I: To turn a 3D shape into a 2D shape.

This week for maths, we learnt about 2D nets. A net is the unfolded version of a 3 dimensional shape, so if I have a cube (A 3D square) then the net version of that would be a cross shaped net. For our must do we had to choose three 3D shapes, and draw a net of that shape. Here are my three shapes that I have done throughout the week.

Reading: Fact Or Opinion Recording Sheet | Selling Air: Lorax Movie

L.I: to separate fact from opinion

This week for reading we learnt about the differences from fact and opinion. For an example we watched a small clip from the Lorax Movie called Selling Air. A fact is something that can be proven by a single answer, while on the other hand opinion is what 1+ people think of something, yet other people think otherwise. We did this work on a Fact Or Opinion Recording Sheet, and had to include both 4 facts and opinions.

Inquiry: Keeping Ourselves Safe Poster

L.I: There was no given learning intention for this activity.

This week for inquiry, with our topic being keeping ourselves safe we had to create a poster that demonstrated how to do that. We had to work with a partner (Who was Jonathan for me), and we had to include a title and information about the topic. Me and Jonathan also added bullet points to show each instruction and tip to keep safe.

Maths: Scaling A Shape To Make It Bigger Or Smaller

L:I: To scale 2D shapes using times tables.

This week for maths, we learnt about scaling a shape, and how it changes the shapes appearance. We had to show a regular shape that's been scaled on paper, with both the measurements of the shapes unit size, and the angle of each point. We then had to make either a video, presentation with a voice over (What I did), or a graphic. Our video, presentation, or graphic needed to guide the person viewing it how to scale a shape.

KiwiCan: Emotion Activities

This week for KiwiCan, we continued to learn about our emotions. We did a few activities that include emotions, and a lot of them were really fun and entertaining. The first activity we did was Selfie, the rules were simple, get into groups and your group would be told any emotion, then you have 5 seconds to pretend to be in a selfie going through that emotion. Our other activity was to put pieces of paper that had an emotion in order of what is the worst, to the best. Then Mr Malu and Miss Latoia (Our KiwiCan instructors) would put them in the correct order, we would then be told how many we got correct.

Reading EXTENSION: An Info-graphic To Show The Differences Of Skimming And Scanning

This week as an extension to our reading, we had to make an info-graphic (Information With Pictures) showing the differences between skimming and scanning. An example we were given was that skimming is like an aeroplane, knowing they pass things quite fast, and can't stay in one place when flying. The example we were given for scanning was a helicopter, because they can hover over one area without moving.

Writing: Persuasive Advertisements

L.I: We are learning to be able to identify what makes an effective advert.

This week for writing, we had to watch a few advertisements. After watching them we had to go through a check list of questions about each advertisement. We had to answer questions such as what product is being sold? Who do you think would buy it? Whether the advertisement was persuasive? etc.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1jOrHeJ6zE

Name of product The new Subway menu.	Who do you think the intended buyer is? People who like Subway
What kind of advert is it?                             TV Yes                       Radio                   Magazine           Poster
How do they try to persuade you to buy it? Tick: With pictures       With words         With music With questions: Yes With jokes: Yes With catchphrases With jingles Other: ____________________ __________________________	Do you think it is a good advert?  Yes         And  No So it’s an ok advertisement! Why? There is a lot of persuading, and a few jokes, but a lot of things are told really fast that you can’t understand what is being said.
Would you buy the product?            Yes                No         No = Alex Yes = Jack Why? Alex = Because for me subway doesn’t taste nice. Jack = Because the last time I had Subway, I found it quite appetising, and I like the option to create your own meal.
Do you think the advert is honest?  Yes                      Why? Because it didn’t seem that there was anything incorrect about what the advertisement spoke about.
What words do they use to sell the product? Tasty, yummy, fresh.
