iTheft - Collaborative Mystery Solving

Today for the morning session we had a visitor come into our classroom and she did some observation. For that observation we decided to do some collaborative mystery solving. My group and I found this very easy, because we had experience on doing this kind of task and it was kind of similiar so that helped us a lot. In this task we had to read a passage and find the suspects of the story so we had to agree if it was that person or we would disagree if it was a different person. Also we had to find the clues to find the guilty person in the story. Our group did collaborate together because we shared each others ideas and talked to each other about it.

WALT: solve word problems using the best strategy we know

Today for maths we did Collaborative problem solving. We were making DLO's on subtraction problems and we thought that algorithm was the best strategy. I found this very easy but typing it all down was pretty hard. Next time I know that I will achieve great and better things.

My New Zealand Story

We are trying to prove to find out how strong our connections are in New Zealand. We think we are like one big family.

Dear Jason Taumalolo

Malo e lelei my name is Sela Manu and I go to Glen Innes School in Auckland. I am writing to you because you are my favourite player in the Mate Ma’a Tonga Team. I love how you play and how you are confident in playing Rugby League without caring about what other people thinks of you. My class is wanting to know how connected New Zealanders are. I am inspired by you because how you don’t give up on what you are trying to achieve. Jason I picked you because you are creative, strong, and a child’s role model.

Prototec 2017

Today for maths I did a prototec on stage 7. I found this very hard but I am happy with the score I got, hopefully the next time I do a prototec I will be able to get 100%. I think I definitely achieved my goal because last time I got 92% and now I got  97%. In the future I would like to achieve more with my maths.

Sewing class Tech

This term for tech we were in sewing. How I made the tote bag? Firstly we had to practice how to run the machine and also how to fix it. Secondly we had to measure how long and wide our bags have to be. Thirdly we had to pick our material to make the bag. As we did that we had to cut up the material the size we have measured on our piece of cardboard.  After we measured our bag it was time for us to work on our handles. We had to cut up a long piece of fabric and then we had to line it with a ruler, Then we had to sew the end of the side together and leave one end of the handle open and the other end closed. After sewing the handle we had to put the stick through the handle on the opened end and try to make it inside out. After doing that we had to move on to our bag. We had to line the bag with the ruler, after we done that we sewed the sides of the bag. After finishing the handle and the bag Mrs Tuipulotu had to do the rest. We found this pretty difficult but we know in the future it will be worth it.

Fizzing and Foaming

WALT: determine whether a substance is an acidic, basic or neutral

Explain: So my group and I mixed baking soda, red tomato sauce, ice sugar, dish washing liquid and juices in different cups. But first we had to boil the cabbage juice to start pouring the Acidic,Neutral and Basic in.

What was the most Basic: The most basic in our experiments dishwashing liquid because it was green.

What happen: It was all different colours from Acidic, Neutral and Basic.

Prototec

Today for maths I did a prototec to see if I have a better score than my last prototec and it turns out I do. I found this pretty easy because I was able to understand and learn more strategies to solve math problems.
