A few days ago LS2 did a servey on why we don’t come to school sometimes and used the data we got from it to create a bar graph that shows all of the reasons and amount of students that chose the reason and created a DLO explaining it. I really liked this task because it was really cool and fun to learn about and create.
How a Volcano erupts
Today LS2 were given a challenge by Mrs Anderson to create a animation on Google slides that shows someone how a volcano erupts. We were also asked to get into groups of 4 or 5 if needed and collaborate to make the animation. It was really fun to create and something I found interesting was learning how to make the animation and making precise disicions to make it all come together.
What are Volcanos?
Today Mrs Anderson asked LS2 to get into grouops of 3 and create a DLO explaining the four types of Volcanos(Cone,Dome,Sheild and Caldera) and she told us a brief explanation of the four types.my group created this using our researching skills we could find what each type was and how they were formed.somehting I found interesting was learning about all types of volcanos and collaborating with other classmates.
Words from the ANZACS
On friday Mrs Andersons group was taught how to use Google vids and after learning how to create and use it we were asked to create a podcast/vid of our ANZAC diary entries and recorded ourselfs reading it out as if we were the soldier.We also got to search for an image that relates to the ANZAC war for our background and also used text templates to write our title in.We then uploaded it to drive which makes the vd into one whole video that could be put onto our blogs.
I found this task really creative to do because we could learn about how to use Google vids and also learn about the ANZAC war and how hard it was for the soldiers to survive.
LI:To retell an event in history through the fictional eyes of someone who was there.
Time Travelers Podcast ft.Samuel Marsden
Today in LS2 we did Literacy and Inquiry. Our task was to create a Podcast with Samuel Marsden who was a Missionary in the 1820’s. One of us was pretending to be Samuel Marsden and the others were asking questions about what he did. It was fun to do and it was also interesting because we also learnt new things during the podcast like how Samuel Marsden felt when he sailed down the Tamaki River.
Camp Food Budget
In our camp activity groups we were given a budget of $2,000 to feed 47 students
We chose a menu for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for $1385.03
We used our smart searching skills to find the best price for the food we wanted.
The maths strategies we used were algorithm addition
How working in a group helped you understand how a budget works.
Something I enjoyed was using algorithm addition to get the final answer
Camp Cabin Maths
We used our basic facts knowledge to solve how the issue of how many students in one cabin.The strategies we used were Algorithm Addition Something we found interesting about working out the word problem was choosing what strategy to use.I learnt its is important to use my own strategy because we shouldn’t copy others and when we finish we can
The Kuaka
Last week our Task was to create a DLO on the Kuaka and my DLO shows the different places the Kuaka Migrate to.something I found interesting was it can travel 11,000 to 13,000 kilometers under a week.
LI: To create an infographic that tells others about the migration of the kuaka
Dot to Dot Connections:The Kuaka
Last Week our task was to make dot to dot connections on words that connected to the Kuaka. i chose 6 words which were Climate Change, Migration, Navigation, DIet, Travel, Appearance and Habitat and i made connections with the words with facts about the Kuaka.
LI:To draw the lines between the words to show how the connections you have made.
Mapping the Migratory Flight of the Kuaka
Last Week our task was to create and DLO showing the migration route of the Kuaka and to explain why they go to all of the different places. this is what I created and something I found interesting is that the reason they migrate is just like any other animal or person their reason is to find better food and a breeding place.
LI:To use Google My Maps to to show the migratory flight path of the Kuaka.
