Cook island language week

This week we are celebrating Cook Island Language Week. We can say a basic a conversation in Cook Island Maori and have noticed that it is very similar to Te Reo Maori. 

There are 15 major islands and they are divided into two distinct groups - The Southern Cook Islands and the Northern Cook Islands.

Here is some other Information we have found out - 

Inquiry-Eportfolio

Eportfolio-Maths Strand

EPortfolio - Term 2 Shape Strand

Achievement Objectives:

Shape

• Identify classes of two- and three-dimensional shapes by their geometric properties
• Relate three-dimensional models to two-dimensional representations and vice versa.

Add pictures or evidence showing your learning of these two learning intentions and reflection upon your next steps.

--------------------

Learning Intention: Know and understanding vertices, edges, and faces of 2D and 3D shapes.

Learning Intention: Create and draw using isometric paper a 3D diagram of a shape.

Reflection:

I think I did well but next time I could make a more complex pattern on the isometric paper.

Eportfolio-Maths Knowledge

 EPortfolio - Term 2 Number Knowledge

Achievement Objectives:

Number strategies and knowledge

• Use a range of multiplicative strategies when operating on whole numbers.

• Apply simple linear proportions, including ordering fractions.

Add pictures or evidence showing your learning of these three learning intentions and reflection upon your next steps.

--------------------

Learning Intention: Know Square Roots and Square Numbers

Learning Intention: Know and understanding factors of numbers up 100

Learning Intention: Know and understanding multiples of numbers up 100

Reflection:

I think that next time I could keep the sheets and then I would have them in my book for the next time because I couldn’t find any sheets of these in my book.

WEEK 7 PASSION PROJECT REFLECTION

WEEK 7 REFLECTION

What did I achieve this week during Passion Project time?

I got about half of the timeline done.

What challenges did I have?

The timeline on the program keeps on getting bigger and it makes it hard to work with and find certain things in it.

What am I going to work on next week?

Getting as much of the animation done as possible so that I can finish it ASAP.

I cannot add the animation so far because that takes about 30 mins to get on to blogger
(because you have to upload it to youtube)

WEEK 7 REFLECTION

WEEK 7 REFLECTION

What Learning did you find challenging this week?

Our maths group because all the other people in my group didn't get it and that really irritated me.

How did you use a growth mindset to overcome these learning challenges?

I just put up with it.

What is the piece of the work you are most proud of this week?

Mastering a year 11 skill on IXL.

Why are you proud if it?

Because I usually only do year 10 so I challenged myself.

Week 6 Reflection

WEEK 6 REFLECTION

What Learning did you find challenging this week?

Having to listen to Miss Harsent playing that paragraph song because it was very annoying.

How did you use a growth mindset to overcome these learning challenges?

I replaced it by humming a imagine dragons song to forget the paragraph song.

Because I can actually tell it is a camel rather than a horse.

Drawing the watering can in art without the teachers pausing the video because I made some mistakes that put me like 30 seconds behind the video.

How did you use a growth mindset to overcome these learning challenges?

I caught up when they paused the video to shade the lines more.

What is the piece of the work you are most proud of this week?

my first watering can.

Because I think that it was quite obdvious that it was a watering can

Weekly Passion Project Reflection

WEEK 3 REFLECTION

What did I achieve this week during Passion Project time?

I created a one second animation of an iron golem walking.

What challenges did I have?

That I had to do like 30 frames for one second of animation so it took a long time and I was moving the legs to much in each frame and it looked weird.

What am I going to work on next week?

Adding a background and possibly doing two characters and learn how to change the default text to something else and make the moving more in time.

I don't know how to get the animation off the software so I cannot add any evidence.

Week 3 Reflection

WEEK 2 REFLECTION

What Learning did you find challenging this week?

the Epro8 challenge because we had to do some really annoying wiring because some of the pieces broke.

How did you use a growth mindset to overcome these learning challenges?

I asked Thomas to help with the wiring because he is better than me at that.

What is the piece of the work you are most proud of this week?

Winning the Epro8 challenge!

Why are you proud if it?

Because we were competing with 8 other schools and now we get to go into the semi finals and we got the trophy


I cannot add evidence because I have not got any photos of the Epro8 challenge.

Passion Project Proposal

Japanese puffer fish writing

Japanese Puffer Fish

The Japanese Puffer Fish is found on the ocean floor around Japan. It does some amazing things to be noticed.

Shiny scales layering the Puffer Fish's skin makes it camouflaged on the ocean floor. His scales dully shine as if they are shells reflecting light back up from the ocean floor.  Even though he works 168 hours a week he appears to always be happy with his mouth in an adorable grin.  It also has small fins that makes it look particularly as if it could fly.

Gliding through the sand ploughing the Puffer Fish sculpts his design. This extraordinary animal works for one hundred and sixty eight hours straight without any rest.  The pattern this amazing fish creates is a beautiful design.

The reasons that the male Japanese Puffer Fish creates his design is to attract a mate and to claim his territory so that no one will fool the females that they made it.

In summary I think that the Puffer Fish is one of the best animal artists in the world.
