Sub Artifact

Hello and welcome back to another one of my blog. For our sub artefact, we made business cards. The business cards had what we were doing and what the learning was behind it. It then had our emails on it too.

Have you ever made a business card before?

PBL

 Hi there and welcome back to another one of my blogs. Yesterday, Kaupeka and Tumu showcased what they did for the whole term. My group thought that there wouldn't be enough space in the future for houses so instead of cutting more trees down, we could dig down and make an underground system that is liveable. My group did a project based on an underground system which would have houses and roads. 
What do you think?

Winter Sport

Hi, and welcome back to another one of my blogs. 

Every Thursday, we have something called winter sports where we go to Hagley Park and play other schools in sports tournaments. This week, we had our final game and we won that game 4-3. We have lost games but we had won games as well. The team has gotten better and better throughout all the games. 

Does your school have winter sports and if so, what sport did you play.

Stanford Math course

This term and last term, my class has been introduced to a course. I will talk to you about the six lessons.


In lesson 1, we got taught that you don't have to be fast at math but you have to put in a lot of detail into it. You had to type in a response that included a mini paragraph. In Lesson 1, we didn't really do anything because we were still getting introduced to the whole course. We learnt about mistakes and success. To learn, you need to make mistake. Mistakes help your brain adapt and grow more and that will lead to success.

In lesson 2,  we got taught that when you come across a hard question and an easy question, you should choose the hard question. That will make you learn more and more. It will show that you're working very hard to figure out the answer. If you see an easy question that you've done before, choose the hard one because if you do the easy one, there is no learning in it.

In lesson 3, you should always be happy if you make a mistake because that helps your brain work harder and harder. You should always feel comfortable about being wrong because that means that your brain is getting more knowledge. Struggle is key to learning so that you can know where you're at for learning and you can know what you can do next.

In lesson 4, we have learnt about algebra and many more. We have been learning about growth Mindsets and Fixed Mindsets. We have also learnt about Number flexibility as well. Mathematical connections are very important in maths. Reasoning is needed in maths because you would need to show people how you did it and what lead you there.

For lesson 5, the course talked about making sense, looking for the big idea, using intuition and more. You should always look for the big idea because the journey to finding the idea will help your brain get smarter and smarter. You should always represent because even if you get the answer wrong, that means you're struggling and that means you're getting better and smarter.

For lesson 6, we learnt about the sequence of number and spirals as well. We learnt that if you solve an answer, you should strive for more answers because there might be more and more to learn. I learnt that there is maths in Juggling as well.

You should try the Stanford Math course and if you have, what did you enjoy about it?

Plastics at Tech

 HI! This term, we have been doing plastics at Technology. We had made a swirly wirly. We had to choose the acrylic that we wanted. We first started disc sanding the acrylic to make the edges and corners smooth into a circular shape. We then started making the edges cleaner. We then started buffing the edges with the buffing machine.  After that, we peel off the protective coating on both sides of the acrylic and then we put it inside the machine that melts it. After that, we grab the acrylic  from machine and twist into a swirly wirly.
