Biology

L.I To look for evidence in the data/an image and infer what might be happening

This DLO is about Observation and Science. Science is  empirical which means it is based on. I worked with Liletina ,Afatia and Sakshi. We all worked together and shared our ideas on this DLO. We looked for images  that links to the information on our DLO to help the readers understand what our DLO is about. We completed  our task by working together,Sharing our ideas,  Helping  each other to get this task done.  I also really enjoyed working and giving my ideas on what I should do to get this task done and completed. I also really enjoyed talking to my group members to explain What is Science?. 

sunflowers

 LI: To recreate a still life of Vincent Van Gogh 

Today Sakshi ,Afatia ,Liletina and I were recreating the style of Vincent Van Gogh sunflower painting. First we watched a video and practiced it on a piece of paper to learn about the dabbing and twisting effect on the sunflowers. When we were ready we made the horizon line across the final paper  and painted it dark as compared to the top.  We then started mixing colours with proportions for the vase which were copper and white to paint the vase. We then started using the same effects for the sunflowers we did for practice.  The practice helped us improve our painting and we were very happy that we could work as a team.

Its cool 2 B me

 LI: To create a DLO about how its cool to be me 

Today for the Dare activity we got given a DLO about why its Cool 2 B  me . One thing i liked doing for  Its Cool 2 B me chart was being able to explain why i like being me  and what i like doing , and my goals i have set for myself , I had to think really carefully about what im writing in my best friends list to see if im actually friends with them or if im there friend  and what quality i look for in friends . I thought really  well  about the what goals ive  set for myself and what i like doing and with who .

Algebraic with Mr Fisi'iahi

 LI : To solve and create algebraic equations .  

Today my group and I  learnt Algebra with Mr Fisi'iahi. We started off by finding out the values of the animals. The animals we did were Piwaiwaka,Gecko,Kiwi,Tuatara and Pukeko. We summed up an answer then we  simplified the answers to make it easier to understand and explain what's happening. We created a DLO with our algebraic equations but we had to make the question unbalanced so that Mr Fisi'iahi could make it balanced, we had to create for Mr Fisi'ahi . I really enjoyed working with my partner and my group to answer the questions we’re trying to solve.These tasks and questions help us understand and explain what Algebra is.  We also learned how to balance the animals on a log or plan to make it equal and even. Something I learnt today is   about how to explain what Algebra is and how to solve the problem by using each other's opinions and put it together to create a solution to our problem . Instead of using the numbers like 1 we learnt how to simplify the number . I worked with Liletina to create a problem solving for Mr Fis'iahi to solve , I enjoyed collaborating with Liletina because i enjoyed using each others opinions to create a DLO by using what we know and what we learnt about using the values what the animal equal.

Tech reflection

LI: To identify what we know about about science . 

Today Year 7's had there next rotation in Science with Mrs Sharma . Our topic  today was learning about steam and different kind of Science equipment scientists normally use in there science lab , While we were listening  and looking carefully to Mrs Sharma about the  different equipment she was showing us so when Mrs Sharma shows us the equipment we could be able to explain what it is .  We were aksed three questions and told to write it on the AV3 about what you think scientist do and would you  like to become a scientist and what scientist would you like to be  , Me and Juel buddie up and shared our answers together and asked why then when we were finished we got to write what question we wanted to find out and my question was ( Why do we need trees to have oxygen ? ) . I really enjoyed  learning new words of science and differen equirement 

 

Duffy books in school

 LI: to receive books from Duffy . 

Today we got our Duffy books and we are really thankful to them. The books I chose were The Dummy meets the Mummy and the bad guys because I wanted to know more about the story after reading the summary. I am thankful to them because these books make me more interested in reading and helps me learn new words. These books helps kids inspire a long life of reading. I am very excited to read and complete these books.
