Life Education

L.I: To learn the safety's with the Life Ed.

At PBS we had the life education van. Our teacher Nicole helped us learn what effects our body in a bad and good way. Drugs such as cigarettes, Vapes and alcohol are the drugs that can effect you really bad. Cigarettes can make your lungs black and vaping for too long can make you cancer. We got to scan one of our class mates and it was kind of interesting. Our group were finding ideas of what Kupi should do to be a good role model.

Science | Main Ideas

L.I To find the three most vital ideas from the information to help us find the answer “What is science?”. 

This week our reading topic is science. We watched a video which helped us understand what science is. While watching the video, we took notes, by selecting and rejecting the information. We used the information to identify the three most vital ideas. We shared our ideas amongst each other and negotiated on where to put the information on, whether it was 4 very important ideas or three most vital ideas. We also collaborated and respected each other's opinions for this activity.


We think the three most vital ideas are:

1. Science is an answer and has the power to destroy and heal.
2. Science includes physics, chemistry and biology.
3. Science is discovering new things.

Science/ Summarising

L.I: To summarise the information.

This week for our reading topic (science), we created a summary using the information from our post it notes. In our summary, we skimmed and scanned to find the important keywords. We also shared our ideas and collaborated to create our summary. For our next activity, we used a question dice to help us create three interesting questions that we wanted to research. We all worked together in these activities.

The three most interesting questions are:

• When was science discovered? 

• Why is science important?

• How is science different from the past to today? 

My connections to Hauora

L.I: To reflect the connections I have with Hauora.

This DLO shows how I Connect with Hauora. How I connect with Hauora is with my emotions and with my high standards. Hauora causes my community to be responsible and to achieve goals. Hauora is the meaning of healthy and well being. 

Hauora Poster

L.I: To create an information poster that explains the four walls of Hauora.

Hauora is the Maori belief of health that is unique to New Zealand. Hauora is the meaning four walls which are Taha Tinana, Taha Whanau, Taha Hinengaro, Taha Wairua and they are the walls of the "Whare Tapa Wha". All ‘walls’ work together to make us strong and well rounded. If all of the four walls are standing that means the Whare Tapa Wha will stay forever strong. The way I connect to Hauora is with my feelings, my self coincidence, my health and my strong thoughts.

Making connections to problem solving

L.I: To explore problem solving.

 

Today LS2 were making connections with problem solving by listening and following instructions to make a tangram. The problem I was trying to solve was when the  tangram was cut into different sizes of triangles and other shapes and I tried to figure out how to make all of those shapes into a square. One other problem I tried to solve was making an animal out of my tangram and I thought it was the hardest. A fact I learnt about the tangrams was that it was an ancient Chinese puzzle.

Rock Climbing

L.I: To use 10- 5- 7- 10- 10 to write creatively. 

Rock climbing:

There she went, climbing upside down with her harness, rope and parachute on. Lara climbed with confidence to get to the top of her destination. As Lara was starting to get half way, her leg muscles were getting sore and therefore she started to get very Uncontrollable but she still tried so hard to not stop. The sunrise was beautiful with all the colours blending in. This adventure to the top of the rocky mountain was a hard working job for Lara and all she had to do was try her best to climb.

Pasting half way through the mountain as Lara’s hand slips causing her to almost for, lucky her rope got caught on a rock for her to stop falling but that made her a bit dizzy. The the sweaty body Lara had caused her confidence to drop down lower causing her to want to stop her challenge but she rethought it and said to herself “what you start is what you finish”. The view was slowly disappearing into black and blueness. 

Just 5 more climbs until Lara got to rest. As Lara looked down she didn’t realise that she was in a high up position. Grabbing the end of the top ready to lie down as if she was surviving an attack. Lara had finished her challenge with no doubt and she was mind blown with how high she climbed. As she enjoyed being up on the steep mountain she explored around it before she left. 

Getting ready to leave, Lara thought about how she was going to get down and she was looking for an idea but then she forgot she had a parachute.

Today  Azatulah and I used the 10-5-7-10-10 challenge to help us with our writing skills. We could choose any sentence starter from the list and write about anything we liked. Yesterday I did the same writing as today but was a bit confusing so o make it easy for us to write we wrote our planner of words to write our story. Making a plan was very easy for me to understand.
