Suffrage Movement- Sketchnote

Part of our reading task was to make a sketch note about the women suffragettes. A sketch note is a creative way to show your learning and using pictures and shapes to give examples and etc. Nazella and I worked together to make this DLO. We came across the questions of "what do you know about the suffrage movement?, why did it come about? and what obstacles did the suffragettes face? Since Nazella and I had two different side of what the suffrage movement was we both added in our opinion of this in different parts. 

Galloping Greyhounds

In maths this week our main focus was adding fractions. In this activity Zahra and I answered question 2 to the "galloping greyhounds". We had to first first use the evidence in the first question in order to carry it on. By doing this, this would make it easy for us to get our answer. We had to multiply the numbers by the numbers of 12, 5 and 3. 

Kate Sheppard

Nazella, Jorja and I made a DLO about Kate Sheppard. We talked about who Kate Sheppard was?, what Kate, why she was famous. But we then had to describe what her personal qualities were using the information from different sites. We thought she was confident because she took pride in her public speeches and wasn't afraid what others thought of her. We then thought of a interesting question and answered it using this information. I think talk definitely helped us learn because we would have learning conversations about this. 

Rewindable Learning

The learning that we did this morning was rewindable learning. If you don't know what rewindable learning is it is recording yourself and going over it again to practise or revise. In dance we learnt a few steps yesterday and went over it today to build on from in it for our dance production. I think this style of learning really helps us improve because you can look back at what you have done wrong and try to work on it until you get better. 

Idiom

We looked at a language feature called "Idiom". This language feature means to, a sentence that can have different meaning to it using exaggeration so it's similar to a hyperbole. In this DLO I put a few examples and illustrated one which was "Speed up the clock". I have put in pictures to suit the idiom sentence. I found this quite easy because I am aware of how to use idiom in a sentence. 

Inquiry Poster

Our inquiry topic this term is relationships with ourselves and others. In one of the tasks we have done, we watched a few inspiring videos about an athlete by the name of "Jesse Owens" and a movie that starred Will Smith. The videos were about never giving up and telling yourself you can do this and also to learn to give yourself good advice and accept the fact that everyone fails. 

Tech @ Tamaki College

Tech at Tamaki College was great. Our whole group has finished laster cutting our designs and are now on to painting it.  We made different colours be using the primary colours and looked at the outter colour wheel and looked at the secondary colours which is Green, Purple and Orange. I think this was really exciting because were up to our final stage of designing our clocks and I can't wait to see the finishing product.
