Technology

Today in technology we did a mindmup. In our mindmup we had to create our own ideas for our game that we are going to do, We named it context for a game that was the title for our mindmup.

We had to do some questions about what we are able to put in and inappropriate things. My context was challenges. But first we made a new mindmup and pick one of the ideas we want to do...

Here's some questions:
Q. What sort of challenges would you include in your games?
A. Make it easy for them but when they are coming to level 20 make it difficult for them so that they won't complete it just like that...

Q. How many levels would you have?
A. 10 levels

Q. Who is the target audience for your game?
A. 10 to college age like 18... if they are interested

Q. What would the game be about?
A. A maths game that will be a challenge against another opponent for them to solve...\

Q. What legal requirements do you need to think about? eg, age limits, copyright, Violence, illegal activities or substances.

This is what I learnt in Mrs Anderson's class.

Term 4 Kiwi Can

This week, it was our first week back at Kiwi Can. Kiwi can had two new things about for our topic and theme. For our topic we had RESPECT and for our theme we had FOR OUR SCHOOL.

In Kiwi can we talked about Values and how it can apply to themselves,property, Environment, and so much more. What are values? Values are things that can relate to your family, friendship, Integrity, Property, Environment.

We all went outside to play a game called values. How to play this game. You have to have four cones that is at one each of the corners and has Integrity, Caring, Truth and Honesty. We all had to line up behind the Honesty cone. If Mr Numia calls out one of the values we all have to try and get to it with out getting tagged.

Then we went back inside and had an activity called role plays. There were five groups, All five groups were called Courage, Fairness, Friendship, Appreciation and Perseverance. Each group had to act it out, the group to go first was 2,3,4,5 and finally 1.

This week I learnt so much about values and what that was, Values I learnt that it relates to you and your family.

Kiwi can reflection

This term in kiwi can room 7 students have been learning about so much life lessons. My education has built more and more higher. 

We have learnt about three different topics this year Problem solving, Perseverance and Goal setting. For problem solving it all about working together to solve the problem, Perseverance is when you keep on trying and never giving up and finally Goal setting, working on getting my goals right to at the national standards.

Long term goal is to reach another stage and a short term goal is to get good at maths or get good at timetables and divisions.During this year, these three topics has made me more and more confident in 
speaking and sharing my ideas in front of audience.

Then we went out and played a game of multiple games, we were split into two teams. There were three different games like soccer, turbo touch and netball. It was cool play it because we cheered on for our classmates.

What I have learnt in kiwi can this term is what has changed in my life and I have also learnt about never giving up and keep on trying even though I miss things like the soccer ball today when we played that multiple games.

Science Intensive - Mrs Moopanar

For science today some of room 7 students went to Mrs Moopanar class. In room 10 we learnt about Magnet. For a start we did three activities that was based on Magnet.

We did four activitys

1. Follow that force
2. The indecisive Magnet
3. The invisible dance partner
4. The Jitterz

• Magnet can stick to metal
• Stick together
• Compatible
• There is all types of colour
• Magnetic force

Magnets we used:

(Bar Magnet)

(U shaped horseshoe Magnet)

(Donut Magnet)

We use three different types of  magnets one was a Bar magnet, A U shaped horse shoe and a donut magnet. Magnet is also made by gravity because if we weren’t standing right now then we would be floating in the air which will be cool.

But magnet won’t stick to plastic, Paper, Carpet, Grass or Brass. I know this for a fact because magnet is only connectable when it is metal.

I really enjoyed today's science with Mrs Moopanar, What I learnt about Magnet was how magnet can stick to metal.

Financial Literacy lessons

Today room 7 students had financial Literacy lessons with Hannah and Halsey. They have came to our school because they are teaching us about money and how to save and spend money.

We started off with 2 skits presented by Fusi and Mata then Luisa and Amelia.First up was Mata and Fusi they did a skit of Mata lending five dollars to fusi then the next day she came to mata and paid back her five dollars.

The next skit was Luisa and Amelia. Luisa skit was about her lending her cell phone to Amelia and then when she came back the next day with her phone and Luisa had asked her what happened to her phone Amelia said oops i accidentally dropped it in the toilet.

We talked about so many things that was included about regaining and trust worthy. The meaning of trust worthy is how money works in the world or to help donate, Regaining is something that people give back for an example I broke my friends phone and gave her some money to buy her a new one.

This is what we have been learning about today with Hannah and Halsey. It was so fun because we learnt about regaining and trust worthy and did some activities.
