Spelling at school

Last term we did a spelling test so we could find out how good we are at spelling.

This term we have a spelling slide and every week we have to do spelling.

The words we had to spell had to have an or AR or an er at the end we had to do a sentence. 

                                                          
Here is one of my sentences: There was an owl and it went pow! At the cow of the tower.

Do you do spelling at your school?

Climate Change.

In reading this term our focus has been looking at articles around Climate Change and discovering new words.

Some new words I learned are:

• Greenhouse gas
• Fossil fuel
• Global warming
• Conservation
• Deforestation
• Methane

Here is a Climate Change Poster that I would like to a strike.

Do you want to stop Climate Change?

Games for kind kids

PBL - Term 1

This term our Project Based Learning (PBL) has been about kindness and the big question was: How can we build community through our actions?

First, we explored some collaborative activities and discussed how we could include kindness and build a sense of community through our actions at camp. Next, we were organised into groups where we had to unpack the above question. In our groups we considered how we could spread community and kindness through our entire school community. We decided that we would offer something that was free and would make others happy.

We created an action plan and  after taking with each other we decided to run games for the Paiaka students.I came up with the idea of giving out tokens as an entry to the game.

Reflection:
For our final product our group decided to do three game's with the younger students.

I contributed by I printed out the certificates designed and cut out tokens and ran a rippa rugby game

I think it  might impact on others by making them happy.

What I learned about working with others was that it was fun and wasn't always easy.

Selling Stress Balls!

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 my team worked better and our chair didn’t even stand up!



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.



My team made stress balls

Reflection



My highlight from this PBL was selling my product at the stall.



Next time I would make more stress balls because we sold out. I would also like to make different things to sell
