Hover-bike Advertisement

This week I worked collaboratively with Victoria, Chavda, Nyjah and Fui to make a advertisement. For the challenge this week we had the choice of either making a advertisement of one of the RWC merchandise, or make an advertisement of a hover bike. We chose to make a hover bike advertisement. We added some things that the hover bike can do and why you should get it.

Rugby World Cup Maths (Pitches)

This week for maths we had maths equations based off the Rugby World Cup. This time the challenges were related to Rugby Pitches, and we had to solve 6 questions including multiplication and addition. We worked with different partners and created a collaborative DLO about one of the questions we had to answer in example. We used number 5 which was.."A club tactically decides to narrow the width of their rugby pitch to make it easier for their players to defend. The original width of their pitch was 65m with a length of 90m. The new width is 55m. How much smaller is the new area of the pitch?" See how we worked it out in the google drawing above.

Rugby World Cup Maths (Stadiums)

This week in Maths we looked at the Rugby world cup being held in Japan this year. We collaborated in small groups of three and two to solve the seven questions related to our learning. We had to use our  many strategies to solve things about the rugby stadium capacity and difference. In example of one of the questions for the DLO, was if 2/3 of City of Toyota Stadium and 3/5 of the Shizuoka Stadium Ecopa were filled who had the fullest stadium? See how we worked it out above.

Rangi and Papa (Book) | Te wiki te reo

This week is Maori Language week and we have been celebrating this cultural event by working in small groups to create fun actives related to Maori. One of the activities was create a digital book of a Maori story. Fui, Haylee and I chose the story of Rangi and Papa. We drew and wrote the story in 3 simple parts.

International World News (Current Events)

L.I: Exploring international current events.
This week for Reading we used Google Maps and looked international news that follow either of these reasons; Timeliness, Relevance, Magnitude, Unexpected, Impact, Reference, Oddity, Conflict, Negative, Continuity, Emotions, and Progress. Working in small groups, we located where the event took place and pinned them on the collaborative map. Using sites such as Kiwikids News and NZ Herald. Last week we looked at national news meaning stuff only happening in New Zealand. Now we are exploring things that are happening all around the world, international. We found some very interesting world archives, such as the fire in the Amazon Rain-forest.

The Pop-up Globe & Shakespeare's Plays

Two play actors Rita and Rubin, talked to us. We learnt about the pop-up globe and William Shakespeare's play. Just before their visit here, we did our own researching. Their plays use relevant clothing, mixed genders, and include audience. The original Globe in 1599, was burned during a performance. But it was rebuilt in 1614, but officially knocked down. Now there is a new pop-up globe, in Auckland - Ellerslie. The acts are tragedy or comedy, some including 4th wall. Some common plays are Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, or Macbeth. We really enjoyed their visit here, and their little act.
