Key Words for Searching
LI: to learn how to use key words when searching.
For cyber smart we had to use three slides to write three questions in them, we then used our sites that we linked into the boxes from last week to copy and paste the information from the sites into the slides. We then had to highlight the key words from the information. I learned by highlighting the key words.
Kiwi Can
LI: to use Resilience in our community.
For kiwi can this week we talked about emotions, we played two games, we played a game called emotion charades and how does it feel. For how does it feel we had to do different things that made us feel different emotions, we then had to share what emotions we felt back to the group. The emotion charades was about acting out a situation and using an emotion, the other people then had to guess the situation and the emotion. I learned by going to kiwi can.

M.O.T.A.T Trip
LI: to learn about technology and transport.
M.O.T.A.T stands for Museum Of Transport And Technology, we went to M.O.T.A.T to explore technology and transport that were made before the year 2000. We also got to do two activities, for the activities we had to use co-operation and team work to make things. We started off by the staff introducing them selves, we then got split up into groups to explore M.O.T.A.T, my group got to see a village, cars, technology and we also got to see fighter planes that we were not supposed to see. After the exploration we then moved onto the activities, for the first activity we tried to make a working car powered by a propeller, the materials that we had were cardboard, straws, propellers, motors, batteries and wheels. We had to get in a pair a start trying to make a working car. For the second activity, we had to power an LED light (Light Emitting Diode) using cogs, one motor, axles and foundation pieces. We had to connect the wires from the LED light to a motor, on the side of he motor, there was a cog, to light up the LED light we had to turn the cog, but that was way to hard, so we had to use cogs to wind the side cog to turn on the light. I had fun exploring and doing the activities at M.O.T.A.T.

Kiwican
LI: To use resilience and integrity in the community.
For kiwi can this week, we talked about resilience and integrity. Integrity means doing the right thing, resilience means coping with your challenges and bouncing back. The activity that we played was called emotion disco, emotion disco is a game when we had to use an emotion and act like you are playing an instrument, we had to do that but with no sound. The energizer was a game when someone listened to some music while the other people acted out an emotion. I learned by going to kiwi can.

Kiwi Sport | HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training)

For the pull up bars we could put our arms in an over position or a under position, for the push ups, we could do the push ups on our knees, one leg or a normal push up. For the mountain climbers we could do it on the floor or diagonally on the corner of the stage. I learned by doing HIIT.

Word Problem Presentation Explanation
LINK TO VIDEO
LI: to solve word problems of different types.
We had to go onto a google slide with 20 word problems to do, we had to use the guiding questions to help us out, the guiding questions were what information do I have already, can I solve it in one step, what is the problem asking me to figure out and more. Each question were classified as their math's operations, the first two operations were addition and subtraction, the second two operations were multiplication and division and the last two were proportions and ratios. We then had to record us explaining the solution to one of the problems. Sadly I cant put the video on because of technical difficulties. I learned by doing the slide.
Uranus & Mars | Inquiry
LI: to understand what is needed for human life.
My group for inquiry made a presentation to present to the rest of Mr Wong's inquiry group, sadly two of our year eights were doing something else and I was at testing so it was only one person. For the presentation we had to pick two planets to find out if one of the two or both planets could support human life in the next 200 years, we are not scientist but sadly we don't think Uranus could support human life but Mars might be the one to support human life. I learned by presenting my groups slide to Mr Wong's inquiry group.

We watched a video of a person telling us what her likes were, so we made a poster about four things that we like in Maori and English, the four things that I picked were Food - Kai, Family - Whanau, Sports - hākinakina and Friends, Takatapui. I learned by making a poster about my likes.
Kiwi Can Recap
LI: to recap the learning from the term.
We had to have a recap of what we learnt about this term for kiwi can, we had to recap about honesty, integrity, reliability and responsibility. Today we played two games, the two games that we played were octopus and go home stay home. The first game that we played was go home stay home. How to play go home stay home is easy, there are two taggers that are trying to stop people from getting into their zone by tagging them, and octopus is like bull rush but if you get tagged you stop and try to tag people from your position, the twist is that the runners can save the octopus taggers or all the octopus are free to run and tag. I learned by going to kiwi can.
