Whaktauki T3W6

WALT make personal connections with a given whakatauki.

Today's whakatauki is about chiefs and the knowledge shared from one to another.

Something I enjoy about this whakatauki is that the meaning behind it all is so deep and has a lot of meaning in it. Something I may need to work on net time is expanding on ideas. Bit for now please leave a comment on my blog,

Many thanks!

DARE Session 1 Reflection.

WALT reflect on previous sessions.

Today we were introduced to a new programme called DARE. It's about drug abuse and how it can affect our health. Something I learned today was a list of different drugs used in NZ and also how the different drugs can affect you physically & mentally. Next time I'd love to learn more deeper into the abuse of drugs.

Whakatauki o te wiki - T3W5

WALT make personal connections to a given whakatauki.

This weeks whakatauki was based on a "grub & a tree". In the metaphor, the grub was us and the tree was life. The deeper meaning between the lines was getting through rough obstacles and achieving new things throughout life. Something I enjoyed about this whakatauki was that the meaning behind it was very powerful and had a lot of context. Something I may need to work on next time is expanding on different ideas for each slide.

QuickQure Runout!

IALT: use graphs to describe the relationship and devise and use problem solving strategies.

Today in our whole class maths session the word problem was about a father & a daughter who both went to the Pharmacy and bought themselves different bottles of Cough Medicine. The father's bottle had 300ml and the daughter's had 90ml. What we had to try and find out was who would run out first. At the end we realised they both finish the medicine on the same day. Something I enjoyed about this task was that I was able to solve & answer the problem within a suitable time and I also accomplished a personal goal of mine which was being able to solve a algebra problems without using tables. Something I found a bit difficult AT FIRST was being able to explain my answers to my peers but after I kept repeating myself it became easier for me to stand up and share my thinking with the class.

This weeks whakatauki was related to your physical andmental mindset.

I enjoyed this whakatauki because I knew how t relate and complete the tasks easily as it was actually a school whakatauki.

Something I can do next time is extend the amount my paragraphs on each slide.

Tia & Tom Topsy Turvy Money!

WAL: How To Put Level 4 Algebra Information Into A LINE Graph.

Today we solved an algebra problem to calculate how much money would be spent and earned by 2 twins. Tom started with $20 and spent $2 per day. Tia started with $0 and earner $2.50 per day. I used multiplication & subtraction to help me calculate the day Tia would overlap Tom with Money. I made links with statistic and chose a line graph to show our thinking. You can see clearly, that by Friday, Tia had more money than Tom. For me, this task was easy to complete because I had several strategies to use. Something I found hard was sharing & explaining my answers to other peers around me.

Heart Foundation Reflection

WALT: reflect on previous sessions.

Today, a nutritionist from The Heart Foundation came in to teach us and inform us on the four different food groups. Something I enjoyed about this session was that it gave us a lot of information and we unlocked much new and interesting knowledge about food and our immune systems. Something I found a bit hard was putting all the bottles into the correct order when we were given a task.
