Maui and the Sun | Main Ideas

 LI: To identify the main ideas in a text.

This week we are learning about Maori version of start of time. In this summary we talked about Rangitoto (The Sky) and Papatuanuku (The Earth). The beginning is about how the sky and the earth sheltered their children from the outside. For the summary we chose 20 important words related to the text. Then we chose 6 most important, after we used those words to create the summary in the DLO.

Te Reo Maori Summary

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

Shoe Narrative

 LI: to use the 5 senses and personification to show the text. 

For writting this week we used the narrative frame work to create our narrative we will be using in a few weeks time. We made a narritive based upon an image of worn out converse shoes. We were tasked at creating a narritive using the five senses and some extra detail to pollish our planning for our writing. Our narrative is called one step at a time, it is a story of a pair of shoes switching from owner to owner, and at one point he was left behind. We then created a DLO about the narrative itslelf.

Flow Charts & Dice | Tech

 LI: to learn how to use flow charts to plan coding

LINK TO DLO

For tech this week we learnt about flow charts. Flow charts are the base product of coding, flow charts explain certain codes through simple lines and shapes to easily allow the person to understand the code itself. We also used the kittenbots to show patters and numbers. We made a code to show a number between 0 - random number and it would show the number on shake.

Dialogue

 LI: to understand how to properly use dialogue.

This week for writing we learnt about dialogue linking to our narrittives in future weeks. Dialogue is a way to tell a conversation between two or more characters. This week we created a DLO about dialogue and how it can change the writing into something with more depth. 

PB4L- Expectations in Class

 LI: to follow rules and expectations, expected from teachers.

This weeks PB4L learning is about following classroom rules and expectations. PB4L is a acronym describing Positive Behavior for Learning. PB4L helps us understand the correct behavior for inside classroom learning and outer learning. This consist of Classroom discussions, walking to assembly, behaviour on school trips, wet day procedure eg. respecting wet day monitors. All of these prospects will help us develop a strong and healthy learning enviroment. I found this activity fun as it allowed me to refresh what should be expected in class.

Bulding an Mbot

 LI: to understand how the mbot is put together in case of any problems.

This week for coding we re-assebled an mbot. First we got into pairs and dis-assembled the mbot into seperate peices. We then re-assebled them back into their original state. We then tested a code on the Mbot to see if our re-assemblance was sufficiant. I enjoyed this session as I learnt what is inside an mbot itself.
