Term Four Project Based Learning

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 MnMs for the team. We were much better at the second challenge because we all worked together and got the Job done quickly
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.

If you are wondering what we are selling in this picture then I will tell you right now these are stress balls and then are very fun to make and all you need is flower and a balloon and of cause the materials to put the flower in side the balloon.

My highlight from this PBL was that we got raise a lot of money for charity and have fun at the same time.
Next time I would want to try and make my products and advertise before the market day

Project Based Learning and The Arts

This term our Project Based Learning (P BL) has been about cultural stories and the big question was;
What is the significance in the 21st Century of our Cultural stories?

First we brainstormed what culture is and came up with lots of ideas.  Culture is all about family traditions like religions, celebrations and lots more.
Then we thought about our own culture and talked to our parents about our traditions and heritage. I wrote a post about my family and things we like to do.
In Literacy we read and discussed myths and legends from around the world then we concentrated on Maori legends. I read Maui and the Goddess of Death, Taming theSsun and other legends
We made a performance about the story Battle of the Mountains. Some students wrote the script, some students took on the job of making all the artwork, some worked hard on organising the music and others took on the role of bringing the story alive with dance and drama.

Reflection:
For our production I contributed by making a sign  for one of the mountains in our performance called the battle of the mountains

I think the show might impact on others by having more volume in singing and talking

What I learned about working with others. I learnt that team work makes the dream work.

Using what we know about doubling and halving to help solve equations


halve  double

242 x 40=9680


121 x 80=9680  
                                                

this is one of the strategy that I have bean using a lot this week and it is realy fun I hope you enjoyed reading this and bye have any of you tried this strategy let me know in the comments down below seeeeee yaaaaa.

Epic books

                                  Epic books

                  MY opinion on epic books 

I think epic books is a very good way to read because it's free and you can search up any book you want and it is also very addicting because you have to try and level up by reading lots and lots of books it is currently Friday the 15 of June and i wonder what level I will be by the end of the year hopefully somewhere around 40 you will never know until the end of the year. my favourite book subject to read is basketball and i have learnt a lot about Stephen curry who is my favourite basketball player.

Here is a photo and some facts about him

This is Stephen curry who as you can see plays for the golden state warriors And if you are wondering what country he plays for then i will tell you he plays for San Francisco his team is apart of the national basketball association but for short it is the NBA he versus teams like the Cleveland cavaliers the Boston Celtics and the Indiana pacers and much more.

What's your favourite basketball player tell me in the comments

My culture

My culture
 My culture Our focus for project based learning this term is about cultural stories Hi my name is joey and it am part kiwi part and part Croatian and i am going to talk about new Zealand only because i can't find Croatian tradition . Celebrating New Zealand's Waitangi Day. Waitangi Day is a public holiday held on 6 February every year to commemorate the signing of New Zealand's founding document - the Treaty of Waitangi - in 1840. We are also really good at rugby and that is a really big part of our culture. In my family we all play for the new Brighton rugby club and i realy realy realy enjoy rugby and it's one of the most popular sports in new Zealand and is the 5th most popular sport in the world which is awesome. Here is new Zealand's flag in 2018.
