Maths Mahi (Investigation) coordinates

 For this week's investigation, we are working on coordinates. We had to do two sheets of coordinates, The first one was the zoo one where you had to read and write the coordinates and the second one was the emoji one which one pretty hard in my opinion and I also didn't finish it.

   

Epsom Salt Crystals!!

For this week's workshops, I choose science. For today's science experiment we tried to paint Epsom salt crystals. My one didn't work but we think its because of the paper. we also experimented with food colouring. 

  

Investigation Mahi (Co-Ordinates)

For our maths investigation this week, we had to do four sheets of Co-Ordinates. There are three emoji Co-Ordinates and one pirate one. I really liked the pirate one because we had to write and read the Co-Ordinates. The hardest one was the unicorn one because it has lots of shapes.

Anna Paquin (report writing)

For our literacy we have been researching on famous people in Aotearoa. We had to choose famous New Zealanders on the slide that Mrs Kennedy picked for us. I choose Anna Paquin for my research because I have never heard of her before. The hardest part was making the drawings because I wanted to make it perfect but I didint want to have too much going on. The easy part about this was writing the report because we had to research about her and put the reaserach on a peice of paper before writing the report which made it easier.

Whetū Workshops Reflection

During Term 2 and 3 the Whetū students have had the opportunity to be involved in a range of different workshops.

The workshop that I have enjoyed participating in the most has been science because I like science experiments.

The new learning that I have learnt is drama because I have never done drama before and it was fun.

What I have most enjoyed about the workshops are that we could pick whatever one we wanted to do. 

I am interested in learning more about science experiments and things that react when mixed together.

Zoo Inquiry "so what?"

So what?

This is my zoo inquiry, my opinion is that zoos are great for endangered animals. I did a poster because I thought it would bring peoples attention to the poster, I also tried to make the colours pop. Since I think that zoos are great I put good facts about zoos and how they help endangered animals. I give my inquiry a supanova because I was sick and only had three days to complete and I did and I put a lot of detail in.

   

Maths Mahi Investigation

For this week's Maths Mahi investigation we had to do enlargement geometry. I chose to do the bear because it looked easy but it actually took a long time to finish and I did the star but for the star, I had to finish the other side of the star on the smaller grid and then copy it on the bigger grid.
