Writing a narrative story

The Learning Intension was: To write a narrative story. 

We had made a plan using mind map for our narrative story. We wrote a story about James and the Kidnapper. Our story is based on a Kidnapper that steels James family just for him to get the USB from James.  

Elephant Toothpaste - Science Planning House

This is my DLO about the Elephant Toothpaste.  The experiment was really interesting looking how the chemical reaction happened in the Elephant Toothpaste. A chemical reaction is when you can't undo it. 

ANZAC Poem

Our learning for today is based on ANZAC. We picked out sentences and information from the poem that tells what the main idea is. To help us find this we need to:

• Think about author’s purpose (PIE)
• Look at the title
• Look at the pictures
• Look at the first and last sentence
• Look for repetition of words/phrases

Mathletics

For maths we played a game called Mathletics, I partnered up with Victoria for the game. There was 24 question that we have to answer in time to come first, second or third. The people that came first was Juanita and Evelyn also the team that came second was Cecilia and Jessie and the people that came third was Victoria and I. We have to run down to the end of court then back up again then answer the question. It was really fun and Thank you to Miss Donaldson for keeping an eye on us.

Design Process

LS2 had went to tech and we were split into 3 groups. One of the Year 8 group went to 3D printing. My desighn process we had done first when we came was a design brief - Client + Wanted. Research - Jewelry. Concept ideas - 6 different ideas. Design development drawing (change) and positive + Improvement.

Exploring two point of view

Ana and I had to pick a role based on the current event called The Auckland Bus. Ana's Role was the boss and I was the bus driver. We used Bias is a point of view. It is really important to look at both sides of the story. A provocation is when you want to make an informed choice. A Provocation means an action or speech that triggers strong feelings about a topic. 

Current Events: Auckland Bus Strikes

Today Victoria and I have created a D.L.O about the bus strike that happened 2 months ago. We used our skimming and scanning skills to find interesting information and adding it to our D.L.O. We had collaborated in our current events and added a point of view about what the bus drivers opinion were compared to the pubic's opinion.
