Math : Lowest Common Factor

 LI: To create a google draw and explain the LCM with a meaning and example.

The above google draw is a collaborative work of Afatia and me which showcases our learning on Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) under the topic of math. We first started by solving basic question and follow up worksheets to understand the topic step by step. Then we started to make this google draw. To explain the task in detail we have added the meaning, strategy, example and an image of the workout. I found this topic very interesting because it makes these type of questions a lot more easier. I really liked working with Afatia and would love to do more tasks like this. 

Math : Highest Common Factor

 LI: To create a google draw and explain the HCF with a meaning and example.

 

The above google draw is a collaborative work of Sakshi and me which showcases our learning on Highest Common Factor (HCF) under the topic of math. We first started by solving basic question and follow up worksheets to understand the topic step by step. Then we started to make this google draw. To explain the task in detail we have added the meaning, strategy, example and an image of the workout. I found this topic very interesting because we never knew about such a strategy and to solve these questions. I really liked working with Afatia and would love to do more tasks like this. 

Choice Explanation : Pollution

LI: To make a explanation. 

 Why Is It Important To Make A Wise Choice ?

Do you enjoy the fact that 1 million sea creatures lose their life from our silly actions ? This is cause by our laziness and because instead of putting it in the rubbish bin we purposely throw it on the ground.Our silly actions have started to affect the way other people live and how sea creatures die. You may think throwing a piece of rubbish on the ground doesn’t do anything but behind the scene it does a lot of things to harm our oceans.

It only getting worse by the minute. Specifically 8 million piece of trash is found in our waters, we tend to endanger our sea animals especially our sea birds,seals, and turles. Our rubbish isn’t only on our oceans it also pollutes our river banks,lagoons,lakes, and our beaches. 100 million pieces of trash is found in our oceans. By the time next year comes we will have no fresh water,food, and places to go because we tend to misuse plastic and it ends up in our oceans and more.

For example our sea bird die because they get confuse with plastic and tiny fish and then they end up eating the wrong stuff. When they keep eating plastic sometimes it get caught up in their stomach and throat which makes them unable to eat or digest the plastic. 1 million sea birds die each year just from eating plastic.

Same as turles and marine animals such as dolphins,seals, and whales.100,000 marie animals and turtles die each year from our plastic. Due to this horrid news we have less and less amount of sea creatures in the entire ocean then it did before plastic was made.Their are more plastic than sea life in our ocean which is bad. When next year comes we will have a ocean full of plastic instead of fish and sea creatures. Did you know that one piece of plastic take up to 100 million years for it to decompose, imagen having 8 million piece of plastic every year in our ocean.

We need to stop this before it is too late. Lets make it possible for the next generation to have a healthy looking ocean with lot of marine animals and sea life.  We can help everyone by picking up piece of plastic that you find on the ground.

First we had fime minute timer to plan our ideas for making a wise choice about pollution. After we planned we we asked to have a 40 minute timer to se could write our explanation.I did my explanation on pollution and how we weren't going to have a bright future if their was going to be so much pollution on our ocean.We used the acronym DRAFT and TIIC. DRAFT stands for Delete,Rearrange,Add,Fix, and Talk. TIIC stands for Title,Introduction,Information, and Conclusion.

Fractions With Mr Fisiiahi

 LI : To learn how to use and understand fractions  

Today was the last week with Mr Fisiiahi for this term. This week we learnt about fractions. We also used the words twice,double,thirds,fourths, and fifths.We first played dicey. We first learnt about what is fraction. Then we learnt about how to make a whole with 1 part of the shape for example we had to make one whole from 1/4 and 1/3. This task showed us how to use fractions and how to part and make a whole piece of shape. The last thing we played was Frog jump and Tower of hanoi.

Inquiry

 LI: To think deeply about a change I would make

If I was the Prime Minister the one thing that I will change their will be no more pollution because it is killing our marine and sea life.Specifically 8 million piece of trash is found in our waters, we tend to endanger our sea animals especially our sea birds,seals, and turles.  

I would do this because  100 million pieces of trash is found in our oceans. By the time next year comes we will have no fresh water,food, and places to go because we tend to misuse plastic and it ends up in our oceans and more, and so we can have a healthy ocean full with fish and marine life.

Inquiry | Voting

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

To decide which political party I would vote for 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 National because National thinks that the using drugs increases violence and may cause harm.This means if National Won the election in my electorate Kanwaljit Singh Bakshi would be our member of parliament and Simon Bridges would become the Prime Minister. Something I found that was interesting that National thinks that the using drugs increases violence and may cause harm.

Tech : Science With Mrs Sharma

 LI: To identify the material and the uses of plastic.

This week for tech we were learning about plastic and what it does to our ocean and sea life.We first had to find different types of plastic and find the use of it. We recaped on what we learnt last week about sorting out different types of plastic and which area they go into.We also learnt about the uses of plastic. We were given two sheet of paper with fact that link to the plastic in oceans. We were asked to cut them out them put them into three groups, Negative,Positive, and Neutral. Then we watched a video about how the climate changes affect polar bears and their diet.
