Public Health Nurse - Attitude Award

Today I have completed another activity for my attitude award. It is about public health nurses and why they are important. I think they are very important because they allow people to be healthy and they take risks of by putting their health on the line. They also are role models because they have positive attitudes and they are devoted people.

Respecting Cultural Traditions - Summary

This week is Samoan language week, so for reading we've been learning Samoan traditions. So to help us learn more about the Samoan culture we watched a video that included Mata'afa Elia Autagavia (who gave a speech in Samoan .) Our task was to find the main idea in the video. In the video Mata'afa was talking about how students from schools performed their dances. He said that the students were doing a lot of the actions wrong. This DLO is a summary about the video. We decided to use a summary because it is easier for us to find the main idea and we've previously used it before. The main idea is: We have to preserve the Samoan culture so people don't lose connections with their roots.

BEDMAS DLO

For maths we have been focusing on order of operations. In maths operations are the symbols like + and -. The only confusing thing about this is that if there are brackets in the middle of the equation you have to start in the brackets. Firstly I was very confused but then it got easier and easier. I found this the most funnest thing in maths yet because it was the most challenging piece of maths.

Céline Dion Attitude Award

The activity above is for my attitude award. This activity is to research someone with a positive attitude despite difficulties they have faced. For this activity I've chosen someone who I think is a role model and has a very positive attitude towards what she loves doing. Her name is Céline Dion. She is a very talented singer and was once a bully victim. That's why she has donated $50,000 dollars to stop bullying. In my DLO I have decided to talk about some of her past and the challenges she has overcame. At the bottom are some of her songs and some of the biggest hits during the 90's. She has a net worth of $700 million dollars.

Summary-Reading

For reading we have been looking at reduce, reuse and recycle for reading and inquiry. The activity was a summary on why landfills are bad. A summary is a short explanation of a story/ or a piece of writing you have read. summaries are good because it lets people know about a story in very small detail. Anyway I believe recycling should be embraced by anyone so we can have some positive outcomes.

Tech- With Ms Anderson

At tech we have a new rotation that includes digital tech, food tech, and designs and graphic. I was put into digital tech. I find digital  tech so much fun and very active. I also really like our new tech teacher, Ms Anderson. For this rotation we are creating an interactive animation stories that include sprites. (read the second definition.) Today we have been just exploring a code game which included Maui and Moana of the movie Moana. 

Dance With Mrs Anderson

Today for dance we have been learning how to make geometric shapes out of our bodies. This was very interesting to see body parts being made into shapes and how people collaborated on their moves. This is by far the best dance session with Mrs Anderson because we are finally starting on our dance pieces. The only difficult thing was trying to co operate with Miki because he is from Japan but we manage to created a piece  better than I expected. It turned out that Miki was very good at understanding but I sometimes couldn't understand what he was trying to say.
