Technology Rotation

By Anonymous -
Hey guys, hows it been?

Anyways in Te Waka Ako we had a technology rotation were we did an activity in each class. (Waitemata, Manukau, Hauraki) 

 In Waitemata, we did a problem solving challenge where we used paper, tape, a plastic cup, sticks, and straws. Our goal was to create a bridge or structure of some sort to carry an average sized marble. Here are some photos of students having a go at the challenge! 

In my group we used lots of straws, tape and string to
carry our marble!

This group used sticks and and cut their plastic
cup to create this structure!





























In Manukau, we learnt how circuits are made and how electrons flow through steel objects. We used a Lithium battery, a LED light, Tinfoil, and pins to create our own circuits. Look below for some images of students trying to make circuits!
This person used the Tinfoil as wires to
create a circuit!

This person used door pegs and tinfoil
for his circuit!















And finally, In Hauraki made Geoboards. 
A Geoboard is a piece of wood with nails hit in it for rubber bands to be stretched on, its pretty cool, take a look!


After cutting the wood, these
people are ready to make measurements
for their Geoboard!
















I really enjoyed making all sorts of Technology related things, my favourite part of this was making a circuit. Maybe next time I'll try and not hit my thumb with a hammer for the Geoboards! 🤣 

 Anyways, thanks for reading my blog, I'll see you next time!

 Peace! ✌

Descriptive Language About A Place, Can You Guess The Place?

By Anonymous -
T his week we are working on using descriptive language by sharing our writing straight onto our blog.  The challenge we have is to describe a place using only six sentences. After reading the description you need to guess the place that has been described. It would really help if you say what clues helped you come to this conclusion. 1. Lots of people clicking away. 2. People trying new functions spamming buttons. 3. A rapid clicking sound can be heard when in this place. 4. People discovering new things . 5. People asking for more time with their special thing. 6. A place that you will probably be at for school. I hope you can guess the place! Blog you later!

Hey Bloggers, Hope you are having a magical day! Our WALT was to combine prior knowledge with what we've learnt, in this, case using my knowledge about floods and house and then adding with what the text has said. In my reading group, we read about tsunamis hitting Samoa, and we talked about what makes a Tsunami-Proof home. I used Tinkercad  to make a village that could withstand a Tsunami, here it is! (Also check out the text 'Building For The Future' below) Here is a big vault on stands to withstand a Tsunami. Metal sheets are screwed onto the the base plate. If high amounts of water come, the stand will help the vault. Inside the vault, there is lots of citizens' houses, and a food market and water tap because they are need to survive. A bit of the text from 'Building For The Future' I hope you enjoyed reading my blog post, I really appreciate it. Maybe next time I'll change the outside
