What's for Breakfast?

Task Description: For this task I came down on the mat with my teacher and did the problem with my group. I then made a copy of this presentation and explained my work on the second slide. I explained the rest of the process of the DMIC ON the 3rd slide. I posted my work onto my blog with a high standard.

Colonization

Colonisation is an old way of gathering land under one nation or empire. It’s been going on for thousands of years but the first world countries, only stopped around a couple hundred years ago. That still doesn’t mean that 2rd and 3nd world countries have stopped, and even now the commonwealth is still a remnant of the British empire which was an empire based on colonisation.

Colonisation has been around for thousands and thousands of years. The Romans used it, the Incas used it, the Greeks used it, the Spanish used it, the British used it. Many countries are still under the influence of colonisation. Most of Africa is still under the rule of colonising leaders. Even though many countries are now independent, lots of countries are still being colonised.

Does colonisation have any benefits? In short: No. Although many colonisers believe they are helping people by giving them new technology, they aren’t helping the natives. The best jobs end up going to the colonisers. The natives end up becoming slaves and the colonisers never give the natives even some middle grade job opportunities. Colonisation has hardly ever had any good benefits for the natives, only for the invaders.

Some colonisation however have had peaceful resolves. Such as the treaty of Waitangi between the British Empire and the Maori people of New Zealand. The Brits came to New Zealand and they suggested that they create a treaty and the Maori agreed. But because of the differences between the Maori and English texts there was conflict. So then the government decided to create the Waitangi tribunal and we’ve been working to create a better environment for the Maori ever since.

Colonisation was brutal period that helped shape our history. The only good that it ever gave anyone was the ability to realise our mistakes. Hopefully in the future people will take a look at the things we did and try to stop themselves from going down that rocky path again.

Dangerous Decimals

Walt: identify the relationship between fractions and decimals

Decimals are fractions of 1 whole.
0.1 is 1/10.
0.01 is 1/100.


What is 2/10 as a decimal? 0.2

What is 6/10 as a decimal? 0.6

What is 7/100 as a decimal? 0.07

What is 18/100 as a decimal? 0.18

What is 1/1000 as a decimal? 0.001

What is 7/1000 as a decimal? 0.007

What is 24/100 as a decimal? 0.24

What is 55/100 as decimal? 0.55

What is 12/10 as a decimal? 0.12



0.5 + 0.3 = 0.8

0.6 + 0.2 = 0.8

0.7 + 0.5 = 1.2

0.5 - 0.1 = 0.4

0.3 + 0.9 = 1.2

5/10 + 0.5 = 1

1/10 + 0.47 = 0.57

5/100 + 0.21 = 0.26

Task Description: For this task I made a copy of the doc and then put it into my Math Folder. I then answered all of the word questions and moved onto the symbol questions. When I finished I posted it onto my blog with a Title, a Walt, a Task Description, and Labels.

Fractions Sketchnote

Walt: add and subtract fractions and decimals



Task Description: For this task I made a copy of the google draw and then I filed it in my math folder. I then decided I've all ready done the 1/2 and 1/4 so i decided to do the 1/4 and 1/3 problem. I then put it onto my blog with, a Walt, a Title, a Task description, and labels

Rubric Reflection Term 2

I think that my Rubric was very good because I got 28 out of 30 out of everyone in my Extension group which I think is not very fair because they did as much work as I did.  But that does not mean I want to get 100 percent next time. Next time I want to get a 5 out of 5 in Key Competencies and a 5 out of 5 in planning research. Next time I will work harder.

Term 2 Summary

Walt: Summarise and reflect on what we have learnt



Task Description: For this task i made a copy of the blank presentation and then put it in my reading folder. it was a part of my reading learning to summarise and reflect what we have been learning about as you can see it has the order of what it probably went in.

When I had finished the presentation i made a screen cast using screencastify. screencastify is the app that we can use on our Chromebooks. The app looks like a film strip and it is in the top of your screen, once you have made a screen cast you get it in a folder of your drive called Screencastify . Once i had downloaded it onto my drive i then posted it onto my blog with a Title, a Walt, a Task Description and Labels.

NZ Herald

Walt: think critically about what we read.

Task Description: For this task i made a copy of a google draw and put it in my reading folder. I put in my writing and links and everything. I posted it on my blog with a Task Description, a Walt, Labels, and a Title.

My Fishing Lure

I think you should choose my lure for Kahawai because it is very colourful and bright and Kahawai love bright things. Honestly i do not know much about fishing more about hunting.

Immersion Assembly

Walt: using exciting language

“Line Up!” Shouted Mr Goodwin “Everybody Line Up for immersion assembly!” we lined up for immersion assembly and then we went to the hall. The hall was Playing a song called Bright Idea by Vitamin D it matched the theme called Now That's Thinking It was all about Technology. Before the teams did their items Mr Burt told us a story of Manaiakalani.

Our term topic is all about Technology. Team 1, 2 and 3 are learning about Matariki and Kites  and Team 5 are learning about how they can solve problems and fix things. I found Team 5 was My favourite because it was Hilarious. What do you think team 4 is learning about ?

Team 4 Is researching about what kind of technology the Maori People used before the Pakeha Came to New Zealand. Our movie was hilarious as well as interesting. The creative teachers of Team 4 were showing us what different Items of technology they used in their days and were trying to come up with an topic for Term 2. They started to read books and found out most of the things we use today were made in the late 1800’s and the early 1900’s. Miss Buchanan wondered aloud what it was like 200 years ago. They came up with the idea to learn about What kind of technology did the Maori People use before the pakeha came to New Zealand.

I hope that we get to learn about how the Maori People hunted their food and built their homes and Marae. I also want to learn about how the Maori moved their supplies and things like that. I hope that we can make our own mini waka too. I think that we are going to learn about how the Maori moved around, cured colds and hunted their food.

I am excited for this term because it is based on technology and history and they are 2 of my favourite things. I think we are going to find out a lot about the Maori. I am super excited about Term 2. I can’t wait to start researching.
