For this summer learning journey task we answered the questions we were assigned and had to add a fact we found interesting about Centipedes.
For this summer learning journey task we’ve been challenged to do math based on centipedes. For one of the the task we’ve had to make our problem and show the solution. 200 divided by 4 equals 50.
For our Sumer learning Journey we have created a comic based off a critter(Animals with power) The animal I picked was the Dung Beetle. Dung beetles are incredibly strong insects, some lifting over 1,100 times their weight, and are vital to ecosystems for aerating soil and cycling nutrients, with three types: rollers, tunnellers, and dwellers, all using dung for food and nesting.
Something I enjoyed was learning the Dung Beetle’s powers and how it impacts our ecosystem.
For this reading task we’ve made a DLO to show our understanding of this topic “the charge of the light brigade”.
Something I enjoyed about this activity was that I could show my understanding and show I learnt many things about this topic “the light brigade”.
In reading one of our tasks were to create a summary that explained the ballad, Waltzing Matilda by Banjo Paterson, in exactly 25 words, no more or less. This narrative poem explains the supposed swagman that was trying to steal a jumbuck ( sheep ), with his tucker bag (bag made for food, especially made for swagmen). During this attempt the squatter ( the owner of the land ) had rode through the lands on his thoroughbred horse and had caught the unlucky swagman,
For this task our main focus this week was learning and exploring about the shearers strike. Our group looked at the two perspectives of the shearers strike. When we read both of them we formed an opinion of which we thought was a better argument than the other. our main focus this week was learning and exploring about the shearers strike.
What I found interesting about this activity was learning how they persuade to stand up for themselves and persuade people to use their own voice and rights.
LI: To understand poetry can transform everyday life into something meaningful.
Poets use various techniques to make this happen, creating specific feelings and moods for the reader.
For this weeks reading we’ve got challenged to create a Google vid that showcases one of Hone Tuwhare Poems, the one we have chosen was “Rain”. First we needed to create images using volcabulary to illustrate more images using prompts to connect to the poem.Then we recorded ourselves reading the poem.
Something I enjoyed about this create activity was using my voice to create and share with others.
LI: To unpack a procedure and explore the content, structure and language features used in the exemplar.
For this challenge we’ve created a procedural text on how to create a paper brachiosaurus.
For this task we got challenged to create a Google video based off the poem made by Hone Tuwhare, Rain.
1. How many strips of each size would be needed to create the mat?
Small strips: 300 strips
Medium strips: 120 strips
Large strips: 60 strips
If the family chooses to use only one size of strip, which size would allow them to finish the project within the 150-hour time limit?
Small strips: 262.50 hours (Too long)
Medium strips: 84.00 hours (Can finish)
Large strips: 52.50 hours (Can finish)
Both the medium and large strips would allow the family to finish the mat within the 150-hour time limit.
Which strip size is the most efficient (takes the least amount of time per strip)?
To determine the most efficient strip size, we must calculate the time it takes to weave one meter of each strip:
Small strips: 5.00 minutes per meter
Medium strips: 4.00 minutes per meter
Large strips: 5.00 minutes per meter
Based on these calculations, the medium strip is the most efficient.
