In this task, we had to use BEDMAS to answer the questions. Every letter in BEDMAS has a meaning. The lettters are shorter for math symbols. We had to explain what order they are suppose to go in and how to use it. 

Dance - Geometric Dance

Yesterday we had our second session of dance. We started with Mataios and Fraidoon's warm ups. We then watched a video of people using there arms to make shapes. Then we had a create our own movements using shapes and angles like in the video. We used similar moves from the video, such as the fireball and the staircase.

Today in tech we changed technology classes. The old 3D printing group is now in Digital Technology with Ms Anderson. We were first told to make our own portfolio website. We had to link our blog to it and customize the website. Then we had to play a game called Moana Hour Of Code. We had to try use code blocks to make the boat move forward and then make a presentation on it.

Stone Steps - Problem Solving

Today me and Lyric worked together on our math DLO on how much steps it would take to get to the end. There where 48 steps and there where 4 people they all where older than each other and taller than each other. They all took different amounts of steps Mira would take 1 step and Api would take 2 steps. We had to figure out how to solve the problem and write how you solved it.

World Of Maths

On Tuesday Ls2 went to world of maths we where put into groups with Ls1. Then we where introduced to Charles. He was the one that owned all of the activities that we had to do with our groups. We got told to choose an activity that we wanted to do. We worked as a team and collaborated when we really needed help. We tried to finger out how to beat the kind of roads. We had to start from point a and get to point f but we had to touch every road without touching it twice. This was also my favourite one because the maths was more like strategies.

Exercise - Dance

Today we had our first session of dance we had to look at warm ups and try to copy them. A warm up is doing stretches that makes all the blood cells pump through your body. It is very important for you to do stretching before exercising because it causes less injuries. Our task was to create a 5 minute routine on stretching most of our body parts and share it to a different group. I enjoyed sharing our routine with the other group and reading the other groups comment. I need to practice my formation. 

Making Connections - When The Wind Blows

Making Connections

L.I. Identify connections text to text, text to world and text to self

Text to text	Text to world	Text to self
Something I have read or watched that is like this is...	Something I know about that is like this is...	My reaction to this story is...
Something that I have read like this story is the Charge of the Light Brigade	North Korea and USA are getting nuclear weapons especially nuclear bombs.	Amazing and also kind of sad at the same time when they died. I think that they both think alike but at different times there attitude changes. Like when they got warned they were going to get bombed the wife was calm and Jim was concern.

Today me and Fatongia have completed our DLO on when the wind blows. We had to link something from the world that happened in the story. Then we had to find another book that is slimmer to this book also our reaction or how we felt.

Today Brooklyn, Lyndon and I have completed our informed opinion on landfills. Then we had to read two articles that explained why we have to recycle our rubbish. We had to answer why NZ throws away 3.6 million rubbish how does this make you feel? and why?   

Half Strategy

This is an example of what the half strategy is 2000, 1000, 500, 250, 125 & 62.5 The sequence ends when there is a decimal point. I think this strategy is good because its easy for me to half its also easy for me to half it into decimal numbers.

Tech 3d Printing

Today at tech the 3d printing group had to finish there clients 3d model. We also had to draw a 150 by 70 grid. In the grid we had to draw a animal that would fit inside the square it could of been any kind of animal that we wanted it to be. I decided to draw a cow because it seemed like a animal that would fit in the square.

Current Events - Ivory ban in China

Today I have finished my current events. We had to read five articles that talked about why ivory is going to banned in China at the end of 2017. They are doing this because they are trying to kill the animals to get their ivory from the elephants and they could be endangered. We also had to give three opinions on why this is a good thing or a bad thing.
