LI: To explain in fewer words what the text is about

Today for reading my group and I were reading about the treaty of Waitangi and we used a dice to help us create questions about the Treaty of Waitangi after that we made a summary about the treaty of waitangi. The treaty of Waitangi is a day of celebration to remember a historical day of peace; where the treaty was signed by many chiefs. Today we worked collaboratively in our groups, to summarise and learn about the history of the Treaty of Waitangi. In this activity we got to learn more about the Treaty of Waitangi and about why it was signed by many chiefs so New Zealand could be a part of the British Empire. One fact that I found interesting was how the treaty was split into 3 parts.

Provocation: Should masks be compulsory on NZ public transport?

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.

Main Idea/Embarrassment

 L.I To find out the main idea 

This DLO is about the Main Ideas in the book this book is called the Embarrassment poem. I worked with Makaili,Hosea,Liletina and  Rj. We needed to read the book twice to find out the main details that will help others and yourself understand the main Idea. As you can see in this DLO that we think that the MAIN IDEA is knowing how to handle Embarrassment. Working with my friends was really fun and enjoying because we shared our ideas and we were collaborating,working as a team. The thing that i liked about this poem is how it tell us the secret to not be embarrassment like for an example you can jest laugh

it all out till the people that is laughing at you has left.

This DLO is about Observation and Science.  I worked with Jayden. Jayden and I worked together to get this task completed.  We looked for Images that we could use to help the readers underst our DLO. Me and Jayden completed this DLO by sharing our ideas ,Helping each other, Looking for images. The most important thing I learned was that Science is  empirical which means it is based on.

Vincent Van Gogh Timeline

 LI: To create a timeline to show the life of Vincent Van Gogh.

My group worked collaboratively using Padlet to create a timeline about the life of Vincent Van Gogh. Van Gogh was an artist from the post impressionist movement which meant he liked to paint still life paintings that captured a moment in time. We found it really interesting that while he was alive he didn't sell many paintings but in 1990, 100 years after his death, a painting by him sold for $82.5 million!

Science: Summarizing the text | Reading

L.I: To summarize the information.

This week for reading our focus is science. For this second activity my group and I skimmed and scanned our notes and shared ideas to create a collaborative summary explaining ‘what is science?’. We divided our lengthy summary into 3 following paragraphs: an introduction on science, the 4 main categories of science and the two types of science. We used a question dice that helped us with our learning and made us ask questions to help us think about our subject and provide ideas for our summary.

Science

LI: to find our 3 most vital ideas from the information answering the question 'What is Science

This week for reading our focus is science. In groups we watched a YouTube video explaining physics, chemistry, and biology (the things that are connected to it) and why science is important to us. After watching it twice, my group and I wrote down notes about some of the information that we took and remember from the video. We negotiated on the most important 7 of the notes to separate from the rest. We left 4 of those notes as ‘very important ideas’ and picked out our 3 vital ideas.  In our opinion we thought that the 3 most vital ideas were:

1. Science is divided into 3 branches, Physics, Biology, and Chemistry. 
2. Basic science is knowing something and applied science is using what we know. 
3. Science is the knowledge behind every question. 

Summarising

This week for reading we completed a work task which was summarising. We needed to summarise the text and what the text was all about. After that we wrote down 20 important words and then chose 6 main words, and used the 6 main words in a sentences to write our summary.

Sky Tower

                    
This week for our home learning we used our researching and creative thinking to do this task. We started on finding 5 interesting facts about the tower. Then we had a task on making a new mascot for the sky tower so we combined our knowledge together to make our own. After that we chose a place in the sky tower that is exiting so we chose the bungy jump. We chose this one because it could be a fascinating thing to talk about on.

Past and Present

This week for reading we worked as a group to compare the types of travel from ages ago to now. We found out the types of transport they had back then and the problems they have. The people we compared were Kupe and James Cook. We finished this in our reading groups.

Shared Wordbanks

This week in our reading groups we have been given activities to complete based on our reading topic.   for this activity we have created a shared wordbank. Using words from the story we have read about James Cook, we have found some words we don't know or don't understand. The story we read was called Charting our Islands. With the words we don't know we found the meaning of it and synonyms. We also found the word families and used a screenshot from visuwords.
