PBL Collaboration

Hi everyone. This term for PBL our group is doing a school fair and we had to make a game for it.
Today I'm going to talk about my experience in this group. I'll talk about collaboration.
In the group I think I've done well joining in with the work in the group and helping make all of the things necessary, I think I could have joined in with ideas more, as I didn't give many ideas towards the project. 
Here are the goals that have been set for us:

• work highly effectively and interdependently, identifying and using each other's strengths and skills
• make important decisions that take into consideration different perspectives and the mutual benefit of the group
• take active responsibility for the way the group works together to create a quality product
• have highly developed social and emotional skills and an ability to communicate across a range of different people
• respectfully raise and explore different options and are able to move forward in the direction the team identifies
• have a good understanding of different points of view, express their viewpoints and empathise, listen and learn from others

I think I have achieved a few of the things but I could have done better in other things.

I think my goal would be: have a good understanding of different points of view, express their viewpoints and empathise, listen and learn from others.

Maths

This week I was sick so I stayed home and couldn't go to the math workshop I did the work today though. We had to go on a website and make as many shapes as we could out of 4 3d blocks.

These are my ones:

  If you have any questions tell me in the comments.

Papua New Guinea

This week for reading we had to read about Papua New Guinea and how climate change is effecting it. We made a google doc and made a table seeing the similarities between life in New Zealand and life in Papua New Guinea. Here is the table I made:

If you have any questions ask me in the comments and I'll try my best to reply

How to wash your hands

This week for writing we had to either write instructions for how to wash your hands (due to the Coronavirus) or how to wash your hands, I chose: how to wash your hands. These were the instructions I made:

If you have any questions about this then ask in the comments and I'll try my best to reply to them

Treaty of Waitangi

We had to do work on the Treaty of Waitangi. We had to make a D.L.O (digital learning object) about how the English and Maori had a war and then signed a treaty. Here is mine:

I made this on google drawing using different shapes and images.
The boat represents the English landing in New Zealand, the fighting slide represents how the English had guns and were winning the war, the treaty represents how the Maori recognised that they were losing the war and decided to make a treaty, the last slide represents how the war ended and the English stopped using the guns to take land and started trading for land and animals instead.

first blog of 2020

Hello people. It is now 2020 and it's been really bad. Australia is still on fire, the Coronavirus is killing a bunch of people, Kobe Bryant died, Donald Trump bombed an Iranian commander and now our school day has been made longer for no apparent reason and now we have to do 4 blogs a week.
And I'm gonna do great!!!

In this blog we have to write some things we hope for in this year, so here are mine.
I hope that Australia stops burning because over a billion animals died and that's pretty bad. I also hope that people find a cure for the Coronavirus.

We also have to write about what we are looking forward to in the year.
I guess I'm looking forward to sleeping in and the holidays because I like to just chill a bunch.

We have to write about what we did in the holiday's too.
I went on a holiday in the north island and went on the world's highest inflatable slide among other things, so that was pretty cool.

Anyway that's the end of my blog. thank's for reading and goodbye.

My Pepeha

My blog this week is about my pepeha.
We have to do this for the summer learning journey. If you don't know what that is it is an activity where you write 3 or more blogs a week in the christmas holidays. It is supposed to make you smarter.
So for this week I made my pepeha, here it is:

you can't read the small text but that is the best photo I could get.

I used this website to make it:https://pepeha.nz/create-pepeha
