Hauora Poster

LI: to explain Hauora using the Olympics

For Inquiry we continued our learning about Hauora. Our task or activity was to make a Poster or Diagram explaining each wall or each area about Hauora. When explaining each area we had to relate it to the Olympics, or athletes. This task was really fun and enjoyable to do as we were able to create a Poster and we were able to do this with our partners. 

Haoura

This week our focus was to write down the different feelings that come with losing and winning an Olympic medal. For winning we noted down mostly positives things such as pride, happy, victory. As for losing we noted the opposite. We learnt that to embrace both of these is having all walls standing up, as we lose we learn from our mistakes making us wiser, as we acheive our goals we can set higher goals that challenge us.

Microbit Coding

LI: to see and understand the connection between the written code, the block code and the flow chart.

This is the comparison between the Python coding, the blocks and the flowchart for making the Microbit act like a dice. We did the task in partners, and it was really fun doing as we got to use different formats of coding such as blocks and python which was really cool, cause we got to learn the rules and codes of each format. 

Y - Chart

LI: to comprehend and infer from photos

For Reading another one of our activities was to make a Y - Chart for our Violet Walrond story. Since our focus for reading is the olympics we used a photo and linked them to 3 catergories (what they were; wondering, thinking, feeling/seeing). We then added text boxes answering each of those certain catergories. 

Olympic Challenge 2

LI: to use the most efficient strategy

                      

For another one of our Math activities we are doing another Math challenge based on the Olympics. This challenge is about Gymnastics and the Gymnast from the Olympics. Our first word problem from the challenge was to figure out the score of the Gold Medlaist using the information we could find from the word problem. In my DLO it showcases the strategy I used for both the equations, the word problems, and the questions. 

Mindfulness Reflection #1

LI: to learn about Mindfulness

Mindfulness is about calming your body and mind, focusing on the present and leaving any negativity behind. Being able to have a positive mindset. For this new programme we were learning about how to be mindful, and how to rest our mind. This programme helped us meditate and learn how to get into a positive mindset rather being in a negative place in our mind. 

When meditating we focused on our posture and our breathing, which helped us relax and chill. Doing this helped us focused on the present and kept our minds in the present rather than losing concentration, to the cause of mind wandering. 

Olympic Challenge 1

For Maths we have been doing word problems based on the Olympics, the first challenge was about Michael Phelps. Celebrated swimmer and Olympian, representing the United States of America. The first word problem was "How much metres did Michael Phelps swim?" in the competitions he was playing in for the U.S. The next problem was "How much strokes did he do in the Olympics?" during his stay in Tokyo?
