Organizing and Reserching

 LI: To use our smart searching skills to expand our knowledge of Ancient Greek Mythology.

Today David shared the next reading challenge with us. It is all about the Greek gods and helps us to practise the skills we have been learning in our reading lessons with our teachers. 

David created this task as part of his CARE award challenges. In this smart searching activity, we used our comprehension and research skills to learn about Greek Mythology vocabulary and identify Greek places on the map. 

I found this activity fun because I was able to learn about the Greek vocabulary and learn about the places in Greece. The word/place I found most interesting was Plato because he was an Athenian philosopher that discovered and researched many things.

Abstact Noun Pooem

 LI: To edit our writing using DRAFT 

This week for writing we have been learning about abstarct poems. In writing we have two parts to our task, for the first part of the task we wrote a abstract noun poem in a group, for the second part of our learning we wrote another abstract poem in pairs. Our poem was about beauty. After writing our poemwe needed to proof read our poem. When we proof read our poems we use DRAFT. DRAFT is a acronmy that we use in writing.DRAFT stands for Delete, Rearange, Add, Fix & and Talk. In this poem we also used puncuation, metaphors, similes, the 5 senses, and an abstact noun. The 5 senses are smell, taste, hear, touch - felling & see. I found this task very intersting because learning about types of poem will help me with my writing.

Rover DLO

 LI: To design a mars Rover

In Inquiry we have been learning about technological practice.  This week we have been learning about the 6 processes of Technological Design and how each one is important in the process of designing a product.

We are using the processes of technological practices to  design and build a rubber band- powered rover that can scramble across the floor. (add your ATV challenge here).

I found this activity interesting because I learnt why we need to follow the six technology topics.

Tech

LI: To explain the different parts in the Hibiscus flower

Today for tech we have been learning about the different parts of a hibiscus flower. 

The first task we wrote was about our learning goals and outcome. We also wrote the name of the flower if it’s still not opened yet, what we notice when we look at the flower, and why a flower it's important. 

Our second task was about learning the parts of the Hibiscus flower. To learn more about the parts of the flower we watched a video about what the parts are and our teacher explained what it is used for. 

The third task was to learn how to dissect a Hibiscus flower in half. We watched another video about the equipment we need and the method of how you can see each part of the flower. 

Lastly we put pollen on a rectangular piece and looked put it on the microscope to get a closer observation

I found this activity fun because when I saw the results at the end it looked like corona virus and I found it interesting

Jealousy

   LI: To write an abstract noun senses poem.

An abstract noun is something that can’t be physically touched, as in a feeling (happiness, fear, love, etc) also the 5 senses. This week, LS2 have been learning about Metaphors and Nouns. We got into groups and were introduced  on what is nouns , what we see in the poem ( The Structure) and the 5 senses. Our group created a Metaphor about happiness; Happiness is the blooming rainbow that shines when the sun comes out after the rain. A Metaphor is a comparison of two things without using ‘like’ or ‘as’. We created our own poem as a group about Jealousy. 

Main ideas

 LI: To identify the main ideas in the text.

For reading, we have been focusing on understanding the important main ideas of the text/video. The video we used for this reading task was about the traditional Maori story about how Maui slowed down the sun and brought more length to our days.

For this task, we watched the video about Maui's traditional Maori story of how he slowed the sun, and identified the main ideas between our group. From those main ideas, we discussed the more important parts of the stories and then identified the three most vital ideas from the story.

I enjoyed this task because I was able to learn more about the traditional Maori stories. Something I found interesting was that Maui was able to slow down the sun because of the pain he caused with his Grandfather's jawbone.
