Skiing in Afghanistan

Task Description:

During literacy last week, we had to read and complete this task. The name of the story we read was “Skiing in Afghanistan” By Neil Silverwood. We had to answer some comprehension questions after we had read the text, this whole presentation was just asking us about the text overall, but we really had to dig deep about the information that was being giving from the text to answer these questions. The highlight I found from this task was that I learnt things about my friends country, which I never knew about, and the low light for this task was having to read a very long text. Though I’ve read longer so this text didn’t really bother me, our WALT for this task was analyse the authors values, attitudes and beliefs.

Confidence in Coordinates

Task Description:

Today for the middle block, we did maths. For maths we did concrete coordinates, basically more learning about coordinates, except this time, it was Paris Tourist Attractions. I found this task hard although I learn some more new things, especially attractions in Paris. We had to find some places in Paris and say what to coordinates were.

Creating Editing Images

Task Description:

For the last session of the day, we had to choose one of a few things to do before the day ends. There was arts and crafts, F.I.O.P and cyber smart, most of the class chose to do cyber smart while some others chose to do the other choices. I chose to do this and F.I.O.P, I found this task kind of easy to do, since there were videos to sort of help me out. My high light, for this task was that it was short and quick, I had no low light for this task. I chose the raccoon because it was the first thing I thought of.

Coordinates

Task Description:

For our Maths lesson today, we had to do these coordinate conundrums. On the second slide, we had to do a treasure map. For the second slide, we had to find the coordinates on the map,  and name what it was. On the third slide we had to do coordinates around Pt England. For the last slide, we had to do coordinate concoctions, which was basically more questions about where the letters were located on the graph.

Converting Metric Untis

Task Description:

For today’s Math session, this was the new task we had to do for today. This task was all about length, mass and liquid volume. There were a lot of slides to complete, all related to measurement. My highlight for this task was getting to learn something new. And my low light for this task was that it had a lot of slides to complete though they all were pretty ok to do.

Hinengaro Whakatau

Task Description: For this task, we had to learn all about our mind, and how we can help it so it can help us. For this we watch this video and had to answer some questions. I had to answer how I could look after my Hinengaro and if I think I look after my hinengaro enough. For the last slide of the task, I then had to give a little session of what looking after my hinengaro means to me.

Gender Roles Cartoon

Task Description: This literacy task was very short to do, and what we had to do for it, was we had to look at this picture you see on the slides. And we had to kind of see the story in it, then we had to answer the questions on the second page about what we saw in the picture. This is what I think about the photo and why.

Testing Tranformations

Task Description: For today’s Math task, we had to test out these transformations, and learn about transforming shapes using reflection,rotation and translation. My highlight for this task was doing this with my friend and learning more new things, I didn’t have a low light for this task. I look forward to learning more new things.
