Collaborative Maths Questions

L.I to cooperative as a team to achieve a something.
In our thinking groups for maths we were asked as a team to finish a task. The task that was given to us was a list with number facts from the ASB Marathon. We had to create 5 different questions using those facts from the ASB Marathon 

Question Matrix

LI: To think critically about an image by writing my own questions that will help me find the information in these pictures

Today in reading we are learning about Kupe and Captain James cook. We had to look at some images of there boats and we had to come up with question and put them onto the question matrix. we had to make questions with what, were, witch, who, why, and how. using cretin words in each column theses question that we wrote had to relate to our learning about Kupe and Captain James cook.

Venn Diagram

LI: To compare and contrast

Today in reading we worked collaboratively to complete this Venn diagram. We had to write the differences of Kupe and James cook and in the middle we had to write what they both have in common. What I found in  common is that they both found New Zealand by mistake.

LI: To learn about positive relationships.

Our Theme for kiwi can is Positive relationships and fairness and Fairplay.Energiser: Changing places.

With this we did role plays. Half of the groups did negative and the other group did positive role play.

Why is plastic pollution a problem for our coastlines? | Writing

Why is plastic pollution a problem for our coastlines?

Did you know that plastic makes up 90% of the pollution on the ocean's surface? And most of that plastic waste comes from land, after being carried through drains, rivers and lagoons. This is one of the major issues right now happening all around the world, as it’s polluting the marine environment and killing over 1,000,000 sea animals every year!...We are in a desperate need for a change.

It’s only getting worse, and we continue to sculpt a bad future for ourselves. New Zealand consumes over 30kgs of plastic a year, but only 1/6 of it is being recycled! 

Why? Because we choose to throw our plastic on the ground, instead of simply recycling or putting it in the bin. 

All the plastic we unconsciously leave floating around on streets and pathways are slowly taking out our innocent sea animals. They mistake the pieces of plastic for food, and eat it… killing them. It even gets in our food, making it not safe to eat.

Let’s make a change, by remembering to pick up the plastic, or any piece of rubbish for that matter that we see lying around.

LI: To collaboratively structure and write an explanation

For writing we learnt about explanations. We learnt about T.I.I.C which is the structure of an explanation.We also had to do a collaborative explanation.Plastic pollution in and around our waterways has become a real problem. Each year the litter we drop  travels out to sea through drains, streams, lagoons and estuaries. This rubbish in our oceans harms and kills millions of sea creatures, who get caught in it or mistake it for food.

National Current Events

LI:    

Today we created a map DLO that shows current events around New Zealand. We have 6 national current events in New Zealand. The article we found most interesting, Ardie Savea being banned on tik tok. He was banned  from his doctor for dancing when he was supposed to be in bed resting because of his knee. The most shocking article was Southland flooding. Lukah, Acien, Vayan, Afatia, Liletina, Azatulah and I worked as a team to complete this activity.
