STEM Cards - Small Umbrella & Egg Drop

This week we have started doing STEM Cards. STEM stands for - Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. There are over 54 activities to choose from! 

I chose to do the Small Umbrella and Egg Drop activities. I learnt that art and crafts can be very very hard especially when you have to use your imagination and no instructions or video to learn from.

I chose these activities because I had the materials to do them and they looked very interesting!

Week In Review

Narartive - The class was split up in 4 groups and got a piece of paper of different Literacy Devices. One group got Similes, another got Alliteration, one got Hyperbole and the last group got Personification. After we got learnt what our Literacy Device means, we got to the other groups and teach them.

LCS - My stop motion animation is coming together slowly, I have used one of my personal teddy bears as my host and showed all the different things that introduce me.

Technology - We are still working on how to make our MBot move, make sound and sense objects.

This week is also Cook Island Language Week and to celebrate, Pasifika Pearls performed a danced today.

Technology - Robotics

For Tech today we played Hour Of Code, there were 12 levels but I only finished 9. It was hard work and I learnt a lot about it! The Hour Of Code game was based on Minecraft and it was hard to keep your materials to a small limit.

Leafs!

Leafs! 

We just recently started Technology again and I am in Science! It is very exciting for me because we are learning about Plants - Food Makers. On our first day we watched a video on how leafs grow and live. Leafs need 3 very important things to grow, Sunlight, Water and Carbon Dioxide. Using these 3 things Leafs make Glucose and Oxygen that helps them grow and stay healthy just like how humans need food and water to survive! 

Special thanks to Ms Sharma, my teacher this term!

Quest 3 - The Technology We Use

We have used TED - ED again for our quests. 

Wednesdays quest was about " The Technology We Use!"

Check out TED-ED Today!

Mr Thomas Wood Tech

For the past 12 weeks the year 7/8 class has been making boxes with Mr Thomas. I thank Mr Thomas for sharing these ideas with us and for teaching us how to be safe with wood and tools. The tools that were included were, Saws, Wooden Mallets, Sanding Papers, Chisels, Hammers, Waxing, Pencils, Tri-Squares and Rulers. I learnt that you should always listen to the instructions because if 1 little thing goes wrong then your box is messed up.
