Conflict Resolution|World War 1 Activities

LI: To learn about the causes, conflict, and resolution to World War 1 (WW1). This week for inquiry 

we were learning about World War 1. First we got into partners. My partner was Charlize. After we got into partners we had to make a copy of the World War 1 interactive notebook. Once we did that we go put into groups. In my group I had Charlize, Matthew, Karlos, Giovanni and Spelman. We still had to stay with our partner. In the group we had to find out the meaning of a word. The word was based on war. Once we found out the meaning one of us had to say the meaning of the word in front of the class. After that we went on the interactive notebook and we had to do the war vocabulary. We had to find the meaning and we also had to find a image. After we did the vocabulary we had to do another activity. For the activity we had to find out the year of the events. Then we had to put it in order. We went on sites to help us find the year.

Measurement

This week for maths we had to make a DLO for students of the sign up we chose. First we had to choose what we want to learn. The options were measurements, statistics, number addition and number subtraction. I chose measurements. Once we chose a option we learnt the option we wanted to do by Mr. Ogilvie. After that we had to make a DLO. For the DLO we had to create an interactive activity for students who don't really know about measurements, statistics, number addition or number subtraction.

Dance Mat Typing

LI: To learn touch type. This week for a daily 6 I decided to do keyboarding. For keyboarding I had to go on a site called dance mat typing. For dance mat typing I decided to do e and i. There was a octopus character to tell us what to do. I had fun typing. For the e and i I had to do a warm up first which was the home row. After that I had to do the letter e. Once I did that I had to do the letter i. Lastly I had to do both letter e and i.  Dance mat typing helps to type without looking at the keyboard.

Smart Media|Co-Co Crunch Gimmicks

LI: To identify gimmicks used to attract and persuade people to purchase products. This week for cybersmart we had to make a DLO of the gimmicks of the cereal co-co crunch. First we had to tell what media is, the purpose and what construction is. Media is a source of information and is when we communicate with other people on the internet. The purpose of media is to communicate and share information about things or people. Construction is making something like building. After that we had to go on a site. For the site we had to create a advert for Co-Co Crunch cereal. We had to pick five gimmicks/tricks. The gimmicks/tricks were themes, mascots, catchy phrases, activities and contests. Once we did that we had to make the DLO of the gimmicks/tricks.

Maori

This week for Maori we were learning about the waka migrations. First Whae Odie read us a book caleld In The Beginning. It was the Maori story version. After that we watched a video called Maori Creation Story in Sand Art. The video didn't have any talking in it, it just had someone doing the sand art. Once we watched the video we learnt a song called Happy Rotorua. The song was about the war. Once we learnt the song we learnt about when Kahe and his wife went to a island. They ate fish, they drank and ate coconuts and they drank water from the river. After that we had to search up the rohe trible areas of NZ. The map that I used was the TKM Map | Te Kahui Mangai.

Kiwi Can

This week for kiwi can we had Mr. Matt and a new teacher called Ms. Paige. Our new theme was respect and our new topic was respect for school. First we started off with our energiser which was called rules or no rules. For rules or no rules we started off with the no rules. For the no rules we had to tag each other and we didn't have any rules. For the rules there was two taggers. They had a pool noodle. The taggers had to try and tag the rest of us and there was also rules. Once we played rules or no rules we talked about what respect is and our values. Respect is when you treat people, objects and places. My value is my family. Once we talked about that we played the activity called role play. For role play we got into four groups. In my group I had Alayah, Sulia, Liane and Sandra. After that we had to do the same role play. We could either choose the role play with no respect or respect. We chose the role play with no respect. The role play was where there was shared lunch and that two students felt left out because they didn't bring any food for shared lunch. Once we played role play we did GKQ/General Knowledge Questions. After that we went back to class.

Conflict Resolution - Spark

LI: To analyse a story for its conflict and resolution. This week for reading we had to make a copy of a conflict and resolution DLO. First we had to read a story called Spark. After that we had to make a copy of a conflict and resolution DLO. For the conflict and resolution DLO we had to write down characters that had the same ideal. The other things we had to include was the conflict, the two actions and the resolution. A book that is kind of similar to Spark is called Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. Count Olaf tries to kidnap or kill the Baudelaire kids to get famous, but the Baudelaire kids try to run away from Count Olaf. Conflict means a argument between two or more people and resolution means ending the conflict.
