Auckland Harbour Bridge

This term for inquiry our topic was about Structures and Bridges. The DLO I crated was about the Auckland Harbour Bridge. I would like to think Mr Johnston for coming in our class and explaining to us about the Auckland Harbour Bridge.

Panmure Bridge

This term for inquiry our topic was about Structures and Bridges. The DLO my partner Joshua and I created was about Panmure Bridge, and the calendars shows the year of the bridge. Did you know that the Panmure Bridge was built between 1864 and 1865. Are you aware that in 1959 11,205 cars drove across daily.

Math problem solving

This week for maths we have been learning how to tell 24 hour time. Once we answered some questions we parented up to solve the rich task problems. My partner was Tiava. There were three questions, once we finished finding the answer we choose one of the questions to do a DLO on. This question was a cupcake problem.

Tech - Pewter Casting

Today for Pewter casting most of us finished our sanding and on to polishing it. Before we start working on our design Mr Grundy told us to make sure we fill our work sheet out, because most of us haven't filed our work sheet out. The thing I enjoyed about Tech today, was seeing everyone focus. 

HIIT - Week 5

Today we did HITT (High Intense Interval Training) this training program is based on increasing our heart rate by Pau te hau which means getting puffed. The 4 rotations we did were Push ups, Squats, Tap Steps and Star Jumps. We did 20 second of the rotations, and also had 20 second brake. The things I like about HIIT today was getting puffed, and also the warm up we did. The warm ups we did were (Living large, Take the L, Hype, Ride the pony and Fresh) from Fortnite.

Sleep Presentation

Why is sleep important? Well, Group A have the answer to that. Together our group created a presentation that gives a clear explanation on why sleep is so important. The questions inside include: How long do humans need to sleep, why sleeping is healthy and how technology or devices could affect our sleeping patterns. 

Scale Drawing

Last Week LS2 had a Maths Week. For Maths Week we did scale drawing, this was my second time doing scale drawing. Last year I drew Goku, the Super Saiyan God from Dragon Ball Z. The first thing I needed to do was find an image that I wanted to draw, I found choosing the images hard because there were a lot of images that I wanted to draw. Finally, I decided to draw a Rose with Wings. I chose this image because I like being creative, and this image hooked me in. After my image was printed I needed to use a ruler to measure the border of the image and draw a grid. Each of the squares were 1 cm, then for the enlargement we needed to multiply them by 2 so they would then be 2cm squares. I drew my scale drawing by copying a square at a time, and I started from the top to bottom. Once I'd finished I coloured it in, after that I glued my name tag onto my drawing, and the coloured paper I'd chosen to put behind my drawing. 

Kiwi Can

Today at Kiwican we changed our topic from Goal Setting to Problem solving. In our Kiwican lesson we learning how to solve problems. First we talk what problems we have in class and in our community and then we did a exercise where we have to untangle ourselves. I found it difficult because not all people could jump over each other. After the activity we then got in a circle and talked some more about how we could solve more problems. Then we did another activity where we had to split up in 2 teams then everyone had to get over the electric fence which was a rope. I found this kiwican lesson very helpful because now I know how to solve some problems out of school and in school.

HIIT Training

Today we did HITT (High Intense Interval Training) this training program is based on increasing our heart rate by Pau te hau which means getting puffed. The 4 rotations we did are high knee sprints, tap steps, mountain climbers, fast star jumps. For these rotations we did the 4 sets. Then we had 20 seconds for each rotation which gave us an extra 20 seconds for a little brake to regain our energy.

Pechaflickr

This week for writing we learnt about Pechaflickr. My partner Kanye and I created a google slide to put our images, and a google drawing for our planing. For our planing we needed to link our ideas to each other so they made sense. We also needed to describe what was happening in the pictures. I enjoyed creating a Pechaflickr because it was really challenging. The thing that challenged me the most was finding the image that matched the correct sentence.

Cook Island Language

Today our group chose to move our information slides on to a google drawing. We chose to move it because it would be faster to finish. I enjoyed learning about Cook Island language because we did fun activity and also learnt how to greet each other in Cook Island. 

HIIT Training

Today was our second section of HIIT. The workouts we chose for this session was Mountain Climbers, Split squat karate kick, High knee sprint and star jump. We did these workouts 4 times for 20 second. I really enjoyed HIIT today because we all pushed our selves and as you can see in the image all our heart rates were on red. I would like to thank Mataio, Tiava and Zane for leading the group. A special thank you to Mrs Anderson for cheering us on.
