Hauora

 LI: To draw and label your own hauora diagram.

In order to be able to perform at their best athletes need to have a four walls of the whare tapawha standing. We created this poster to show what each wall represents and why it is important. I found out that if you arn't feeling really happy and one of your walls fall down, that means every other wall will fall aswell unless you pick yourself up and keep pushing yourself to be positive. I enjoyed making this poster because other people can read it and learn how to win without shoving it in other peoples faces.

Hauora olympics

Athletes know how to win without showing off to the other Athletes.They also know how to lose without having a bad thought on losing to the other Athletes, they can just be happy with what they have and know what they did is good enough. And don't be angry, you just need to be proud of what you have done for your family, your country and yourself.

Mindfulness reflection 1

Today we were focusing on Mindfulness. Mindfulness is like working on yourself, focusing on now, having a positive mindset, taking care of your body and many more. I've learnt about the Green Zone and the Red Zone, the Green and Red Zone are two different Zones/categories. The Red Zone is basically being uncalm, negative, fastrated and stressed. The Green Zone is being calm, focused, relaxed, balanced and peaceful. If you were in a bad situation do you think being in the Red Zone would help you? We have used the Mindfulness bell as we focused on our breathing. The Mindfulness bell helps you focus on breathing and calming down. Something I learnt about Mindfulness is that 'Mindfulness is a practice that pushes away negative thoughts and focuses on well being/mental health.

Matariki

 LI: To strengthen our connections to Matariki.

Matariki is the Maori new year celebration. It takes places each year when the cluster of stars known as Matariki are seen in our skies. The new year is a time for new beginnings and is a time to embrace tradition.

I enjoyed finding more about matariki because i can know more about it in the future.

Inquiry

LI: To think deeply about a change I would make

If I was Prime Minister I would I will make sure that there is a pool in every school and I will make sure that in every school gets free lunch. 

The reason why is because it is important that children learn to swim and are safe in the water. The reason why I would let schools have free lunch is so if some does not have lunch they can have some at school.

Inquiry

LI: To decide which political party will get your vote by making an informed choice

To decide which political party I would vote for Green party I read a summary of the policies each party wants to introduce should they win the election and the right to form a government to run NZ. Doing this allowed me to make an informed decision.
If I was 18 I would vote for Green party because they are helping NZ's Pasifika. This means if Green party Won the election in my electorate Mark Simiona would be our member of parliament and someone would become the Prime Minister.

Making Connections to problem solving

LI:To explore problem solving. 

Today in the morning the wifi went was not working and we had to do something different. So we did tangram it is an ancient Chinese puzzle.We used A4 paper and we had to cut them out but had no lines to follow to make the shapes. We had to listen carefully to the instructions and follow them to make our puzzle correctly.  After we made our puzzle we tried to put all the shapes together to make a square. It was really hard at first as we were learning how to problem solve. It os important when you are problem solving to ask some questions and look for different ways to find the answer. My partner and I were working great with each other. One fact I found interesting was that many years ago when people were on ships and got bored so they made animals shapes with their tangram puzzles.

Periscope

LI:to explain Periscope work.

Today Mr Johnston came and taught us what periscope are they,how they are used and who uses them.We found out that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.That means if the light hits the mirror at 45 degrees it reflects the light back at 45 desegregation.it was fun because we got to play with the Periscope. 

Light Facts

LI:To share 5 facts about light that we find interesting.

We worked collaboratively to create a DLO that shows facts about light.One fact that interests me is White light is made up of the colours ROYGBIV because i like white makes ROYGNIV and ROYGNIV makes white.
