New Thursday Sport!

New Thursday Sports 

In our hub we have been doing winter sport for half of the year. there are four sports to choose from consisting of Soccer, Rugby, Hockey, Netball but we threw that all away for this term. This term we are doing Korfball, Lawn Bowls and Cricket we were put into four groups I was in group two we were playing Korfball first. Our instructors name was Pascal. He taught us how to play rule by rule and even complemented us on how we were really fair players. he also taught us that Korfball is a  very famous sport in the Netherlands. Korfball is a mix of Basketball and Netball. Next week we are going to play Cricket or Lawn Bowls and both of them are my favorite games so i'm excited.



What is your favorite sport?

The museum of mysteries

On Monday the 16 of September we went to the museum. Once we got we were greeted with the instructor telling us the rules and where we can't go and can.  First we traveled all around the museum seeing all it had to offer then we had lunch. After we went into the big tree to climb and goof around. After lunch we headed to the activity room were we learnt how the first people that came to new Zealand lived and survived.

Pastels

In our class we have been learning about pastels we learnt about the different styles some we learnt are feathering, stippling, scumbling and my personal favorite sgraffito we also learnt to blend from darkest to lightest. Today we sketched our design for our calendar this is my one! took about four tries to get right but i'm pretty proud of this one.

<>~Question Time~<>

Have you every used pastels to create an artwork.?

What techniques have you used to use pastels 

winter sport for our school

In our school we go to Hagley park every Thursday and we call it winter sport!. Personally I think that my skill level has improved. I can get the ball of the other team and I can defend the goal really well.  me and my teammates have learnt to call out for the ball and I hope next year we do even better than before!.

We hope next year to win a game the only games we win are when the other team defaults.

~~Question~~
How many games have you won?

The Problems in The Polar

Hi, i'm Jasper and today I am going to be talking to you about our reading we have been learning about polar ice caps. 

Here are some facts about polar ice caps 

1. Polar ice caps hold a majority of the earth supply of fresh drinking water

2. The Ice thickness are about a mile of ice

3. The average temperature is -10 degrees

If you want to read the article Polar ice cap

How can we stop hurting the environment 

1. Turn the lights off when you leave a room 

2. Stop using cars and walk or bike 

3. Make a compost bin

Have done any of these things?

How will you help the environment? 

Have you learnt anything from the post?

🌲❤️The Treasure Hunt Through the Kindness Forest ❤️🌲

PBL - Term 1

This term our Project Based Learning (PBL) has been about kindness and the big question was: How can we build community through our actions?
4
First, we explored some collaborative activities and discussed how we could include kindness and build a sense of community through our actions at camp. Next, we were organised into groups where we had to unpack the above question. In our groups we considered how we could spread community and kindness through our entire school community. We decided that we would offer something that was free and would make others happy.

We created an action plan and our idea for our action plan was to do a treasure hunt for Kakano with lollies at the end as the treasure

Reflection:
For our final product our group was a treasure hunt for kakano with lollies at the end as the treasure

How did our action build a sense of community in the school? It makes the kakano trust us and believe that we a kind humans and will like to pick us to do activities with them
4
I contributed by designing posters helping the kakano do the treasure hunt and assured that the people that competed got a lolly and just helped in general

I think the PBL might impact on others by making them happy and growing trust in one another and so the Kakano might choose us in other activities because they trust us

What I learned about working with others was there a main people in a group

The worker (Thrives to make the project perfect) Halfway (Works a normal amount) And The Slacker (The One who slacks of and does a tiny bit)

but if they all work at halfway the’ll finish it much easier but if they are all tired then nothing will get done this in sort of the same with the worker(s) but the worker(s) will get stressed and do to much work and cover up the actual work and the people review it will only see facts and the hard work will be covered by more hard work

 ❓Question Of The Day❓( so what are you Slacker / Halfway / Worker )¡

Our Perfect PBL

This term our Project Based Learning (PBL) has been about design and the big question was; How can we use a Steam approach to make a marketable product?

First we learned what STEAM stood for.
S for Science
T for Technology
E for Engineering
A for the Arts
and M for Maths
Then we were given challenges. The first to make a chair using newspaper, string and straws that was able to hold a figure made out of multi-link blocks.
Then; make a table that was able to balance M&Ms for the team. We were much better at the second challenge because ... We Knew How to use paper and string Much better from before because you learn from your mistakes

In Literacy we learned to write up science experiments and to write a technology report using the design process of ask, imagine, plan, create, improve and share.

Our next step was to form teams and ask ourselves the big question again.
How can we use a Steam approach to make a marketable product? Our aim was to create enough products or experiences and sell it to raise money for charity.

My team made this…We made an Undertale eye Spy Which wasn’t a hit so next time we're gonna do something else

 My Reflection

My highlight from this PBL was Working Hard And Getting $30
Even though Nobody Came And i'm surprised that people Came and played

Next time I would Work Harder and do more work In a smaller amount of time and pick a more popular Item to make
