L.I: To compare the past and present rules.
For this reading activity we were tasked to compare the olympics rules from the past and the present using a venn Diagram. There was a big difference between the past olympic rules and the present. The rules that stayed the same was no shoving, no holding, no cutting of other racers. This task was interesting because I learnt new facts about the aincient olympics.
This week for reading we read a text called Poros of Malia. This text was about a man named Poros who competed in the sprints in the ancient olympics. Poros had won this event in the olympics prior so he had to win or they would have been made fun of. After we finished the text we answered a list of questions, by answering these question we got a better understanding of the story because it helped us remember the details and the main idea of the text.
To understand how flowcharts relate to coding blocks.
To understand how to get the microbit to talk to another microbit using radio signals.
LI: To recall our time tables faster
Today for maths we have recalled our multiplication knowledge by playing a game called Super Fingers. This is a game to see how well and how fast you can answer questions, by using dice. The instructions of this game is that we need to write a phrase on a white board or piece of paper. Then you will need to roll 2 dice which we will multiply by, and the first person to call out the answer will take one of the letters out. The first person to have all of the letters rubbed out will win the game. The process we did it in was similar to a netball game, draw, quarter finals, semi finals, and lastly finals. To run this competition smoothly we created a bracket which showed who will versus who. Our bracket was now even so later in the game we did a wild card who were Vayan and Micah. In pairs we challenged each other to see who was faster at answering the questions. The winner would go against the winner from another person. Whoever wins goes up against another winner, and it will keep going until there are two people left, which would be the finals. The two people facing each other in the finals were Afatia and Chris. I enjoyed doing this activity because it helped me recall my multiplication facts, and answer them faster.
L.I: To find out how many right angles are on an intire Badmanton Racket.
For this challenge I needed to find out how many right angles are on an intire Badmanton Racket. I worked coloborativly with Chris and Te Raumati. We used our times tables to solve our question. In the the video it tells you what we were trying to solve and how we did it. I enjoyed learning some of the easy ways to get my answer and I liked it how my group communicated with me so that I would understand more.
L.I: To find out "What was the Gold medal winners score? & By how much did Nastia score over the Bronze medalist".
For this challenge I needed to find out 'What was the Gold medal winners score? & By how much did Nastia score over the Bronze medalist?. I worked coloborativly with Te Raumati and Chris. We used Addition and Subtraction to get our answer. In the the video it tells you what we were trying to solve and how we did it. I enjoyed I understood what I was doing which made me get the answer correct in no time.
L.I: To find out how many strokes did Michael have to take in total for all of his events combined if Michael can propel himself 2 meters with each stroke? & how many meters did Michael swim for his gold medals?
For this challenge I needed to find out how many strokes did Michael have to take in total for all of his events combined if Michael can propel himself 2 meters with each stroke? & how many meters did Michael swim for his gold medals? I worked coloborativly with Afatia, Juel and Ong. We used Division and Addition to solve our question. In the the video it tells you what we were trying to solve and how we did it. I enjoyed learning more ways how to solve this question and it was very interesting because I learnt how to solve it in a way I've never done before.
LI: to Create a DLO that shows both points of view as well as your own.
We were tasked to make a DLO using provocation. A provocation is an action or speech that can show a powerful image in the reader’s mind. For this task we picked an image from a site showing what it looks like after the olympics. We chose 5 to do the Bobsled venue in Sarajevo. The provocation was, Should host countries have to spend so much money on building Olympics venues? In our opinion we think that they shouldn’t have spent that much money, because they could have used it again so that they didn’t need to waste so much money, and if they did that they could save money and they could help the poor people.
