Art Colouring Book - Step it up Challenge

 LI: To use TEEL paragraphs to explain our colour choice

 

Today I completed the Step it Up art challenge from the Summer Learning Journey activities. The purpose of this task was to explain our colour choice using the language and vocabulary we learnt from watching the information video. I used the TEEL paragraph structure to help me explain my thinking. My opinion about this colouring I made it no difference except for changing the colour of the background to green and the different colour for the 2 men on the elephant.

Art colouring book

 L.I: To experiment with colours.

This art design is called 'Women combing her hair'  and the artist is for art work is 'Goyo Hashiguchi'. This morning we tried one of this year’s Kick Start Summer Learning Journey activities. The purpose of this task was to experiment with colours by mixing colours from the original palette with pop colours. This allowed us to recolours famous painting or images of landmarks around the world. Something interesting about this activities was that I really liked how we could recolour some other art works from other famous artist.

Provocation: Should masks be compulsory on NZ public transport?

LI: To identify and consider the two perspectives of this provocation to help me form an opinion.

Today we made a provocation DLO. A provocation is an action or speech that triggers strong feelings about a topic. Today we considered both sides of the provocation which is the YES and the NO. Our provocation was Should masks be compulsory on NZ public transport?’ We then used that information to help us form an opinion that we were all happy with. Our opinion was a Yes and No because there are some reasons for why we need to wear a mask and there are some reasons for why we shouldn’t wear one. Both Yes and No reasons are equally important. We need to stay safe and away from the covid 19 and other diseases.

Maths Strategy (Lasagne)

 L.I: To explain how we solved our maths equations.

For Maths we did Word Problems with our mixed math groups. We worked together to solve these equations. Our DLO (Digital Learning Object) is showing and explaining how we solved these Math Equations. The topic of our Math Equations were weight and mass. The equation we explained was about how many ingredients were used and we had to find out the weight of the missing ingredients to find out all the ingredients. 

Tech, Rocketships

L.I: Is to learn about rocket ships and find out how many fins does the rocket ship need. 

This week for tech, The year 7s Worked with Mrs Sharma and Mr Dunn. Mr Dunn showed us by explaining and understanding How many fins does the rocket need to fly ( No Fins , 2 Fins or 4 Fins). For my prediction. I think my rocket needs 4 fins to fly into the sky. We also started off by getting straws and making it into rocket ships. We created it by turning the front tip and bending it. After bending it, we needed to grab some scalar tape  and put it onto the straw.  We then started off by writing keywords that link to rocket science. We also learned interesting facts and information about rockets. The most interesting fact I learned was that there is a New Zealand Rocket company called Rocket Lab and learning about who works with them. Thanks again to Mr Dunn for helping and understanding more  on Rocket sciences.
