Subtraction facts - Math's Challenge

Today for maths I started off with Mr Wongs math's subtraction challenge. Today I did my subtraction facts. This is going to help me know my basic subtraction facts just like that. There is 10 subtraction facts in each row.  

Apostrophes

Today for wirting we have been learning more about Apostrophes. This also has been our focus. Today I have created a DLO about what a Apostrophe is,and what it's used for. For example Robert took Bella's bag by mistake, the Apostrophes is in front of the S because the bag belongs to Bella. There's also some examples of apostrophes on the DLO to also look at. 

Features of a visual text - Reading

Today Ponui and Pakatoa,worked collaboratively together. We got given two books Manmade World and People Earth. The first page we labeled was the glossary, for this we than had two label different parts in the book, like the index or bold print. We than had to put the arrow with the word on it in the correct place in the book. 

Bridge Testing

For inquiry this term we have been focusing on bridges and structures. For the past couple of weeks we have been planing and building our spaghetti bridge in our group. Our presenting day was on Wednesday last week were we had to showcase our bridge to everyone. We decided to build a beam bridge because it sounded simple and easy to build which was difficult for our group. We used spaghetti, tape, string and rubber bands to do this. We also had to measure our spaghetti so it was the same length as everything else. Our bridge ended up holding more than 2 bricks, but dropped on the third brick. I thought that our bridge will only hold 1 brick, because our bridge didn't look complete.   

Subtraction facts - Math's Challenge

Today we did our subtraction challenge that Mr Wong made for us to do. This is a spreadsheet with subtraction facts, that we have two answer. There is a list of basic subtraction facts all the way to ten. This is good for us, because it's good practice, and it will teach us to know our subtraction facts just like that.

Digital Tech

Today at tech we have been doing digital tech. This is our 2nd rotation. This week we have been finishing off our design so next week it's finished and we can move on. On our design's we have squares that we draw our letters on. In each square has a letter, of our name in it, that we have two write. Each letter has two be different from the rest. It has to have a shadow effect on the letter.

Kiwi Can - Perseverance

This week in kiwi can we have been talking about perseverance this has also been our focus this week. Perseverance is never giving up and to keep going, even if you want to stop, it also means for you two learn from you'r mistakes. I can use perseverance when i'm playing sports, for example. If our team loses, I can still keep going, and try, and two not give up easily.

VR Technology - Research

Today the Auckland university and there research team came to our school to find out if the VR research will up us improve in our learning. We got split into groups, one group was using the VR glasses. While the other group were playing magic window witch was all about how people get from across places using bridges and early mail service from Pakarunga to Panmure this was really run. Were lucky to have this experience because its a cool way to learn, and some of the cool features to see in the VR glasses and Ipad's. I wanna say a huge thank you two Yvonne from the university of Auckland and her research team for using there time to create all the games for the VR learning, and for buying all of LS2 pizza.
