Maths Word Problems

WALT: Create a maths word problem

Our task this week was to create a maths word problem slide.

I really enjoyed it because I got to make a maths word problem with my friend's name and I got to use what they like.

I found it really hard because I kept confusing myself on the maths word problems but I managed to get it in the end.

Maybe next time I could try harder to make more maths word problem slides.

Respect

WALT: Create a DLO about Respect

This week for writing our teacher (Miss Peters) gave us a task where we had to create a DLO about respect, and what it means.

I really enjoyed creating this because it was fun decorating it.

Maybe next time I could try and add more detail.

Human Changes to the Environment

WALT: Write down what we learned in the Book of knowledge/Comprehension. 

This week for reading, I read an article called Human Changes to the Environment which explains how humans were in the natural food chain before we came into the modern age with all our machines and cities.

The task was to write down 2 or more things we learned from the article.

I learned that humans learned how to grow crops and that it wasn't natural. 
I also learned that every plant and animal in the natural ecosystem depends on other plants or animals for its survival.

Harakeke bracelets

WALT: Write a recount on what we did at tech

This week at tech we created a Harakeke/flax bracelet to give to someone.

I learned how to make a harakeke bracelet.

I enjoyed going to tech because making those were really fun.

I found it challenging because it was a bit hard to get used to the folding pattern, but once I got used to it, it was really easy.

Next time I will improve on making the folds tighter because to me the folds were loose.

Olivia's Maths word problems

WALT: Create our own maths word problems

This week I created 4 maths word problems, 2 on each slide.

I enjoyed creating word problems because they were fun.

I found it challenging to come up with equations for my word problems.

Next time I will improve on making more word problems because in my opinion 4 isn't enough for my age group.

 WALT: Write down what we learned in the Book of knowledge/Comprehension.

This week for writing I read an article called Producers, Consumers, and Decomposers, and the task was to write down three or more things about what I learned from the article.

I learned that in the forest every living thing is sorted into three categories called producers, consumers, and decomposers.
I also learned that owls have good eyesight and hearing. 

Kapa Haka

WALT: Perform a poi  

Today at Kapa Haka we have been learning a new poi for an upcoming production in week 8.

I found it easy to do the poi because I already know it.

I really enjoyed doing Kapa Haka because my favorite part of Kapa Haka is when we get to do the poi.

Next time I need to try not to laugh when I accidentally mess up because I tend to do that sometimes. 

If you want to see what poi we are doing just click on this video.
