Technological practices

 LI: To use technological practices process to design a toy.

For Mrs Fisi’iahi’s Inquiry lesson, we were focusing on the three last technological processes. They were: build, test and evaluate. We used the required materials in order to build the AUV rover. After this, we tested and compared each group’s rover to see which group was able to scramble across the floor the furthest. Evaluating our results was the last step. 

I found this activity fun because we get to make a rover and play with it

Summarising

LI: To explain in fewer words what the text is about 

This week for reading I summarised a book that me and my group read. 

First, I found 20 words from the book.

Next, I chose 6 most inportant worrd from the 20 words i used from the book.

Last i used those 6 words to make a sentace retteling the book.

I fround this task dificult becuase it was a hard choice choseing what what 6 words were important out of all 20 of them.

ASB getwise

 Today I leanrt how to spend money wisely. LS2 went to room 1 and then we met a man from a ASB company called Marlon.

We played a game about teams starting with $1800 and we had to to spend it on things get points I a team spen the exspensive thikngs they would get over 4 point and if teams spend  money on cheap stuff they would only get a little bit of points.

I found this game hard becuase me and my groups had hard choises of how much money we were going to spend on.

Key compenties

LI: To compare the Key Competencies we think we will use on camp and the Key Competencies we actually used.  

Before we went to camp our challenge was to think about when we might use the Key Competencies as we faced the challenges.  When we came back from camp we looked at this and compared how we thought we would use the Key Competencies and how we actually used them.

I found this activity hard because it was hard trying to write the section two.

Duffy role model

LI: to have an acembely with duffy.

Today in the afternoon we made sure we were nice and dressed for the duffy role model. When we arrived we waited for a little while. when Mark arivied we started to sing the duffy song. after we did that, we had Marc from Duffy to come and talk to us about the importance of reading and how reading can make a big impact on your life.  Although Marc had some challenges in his life he used reading as a tool to get through the hard times. Marc believes that there is only CANs and not CAN’Ts. Last we sang the nationinal anthem.

I found the words that Marc said confusing because I did not understand some words and next i will define them.

Brochure

 LI: To a collaborative brochure that tells others why Kokako Lodge is a great place to go on camp

Over the last week everyone challenged themselves during the sessions at archery, high ropes, kayaking, raft building, camp cooking, pancake race and team building/orienteering. Our group collaborated to create a brochure that shows others why Kokako Lodge is a great place to go on camp.

I found this activity easy because I just had to make a list of what we did during camp.

Kokako infographic

 LI: To create an infographic using google draw that tells your audience facts about the kokako.

This week, everyone in LS2 has been given a set of different challenges based on our camp. For this activity we used our smart searching skills to find information about the North Island Kokako bird.

I found this activity dificult because I had trouble trying to writing about the aperance in my own words.
