Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton

Who have we chosen and why? by Ella, Eva, Kylah and Arie.

Today we had to create a slide/presentation about two famous mathematicians. In my group was Ella, Arie and Kylah. We chose Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton. We got the information from a website called biography. Something new I found out was that Albert Einstein is German. We used canva for this activity.

Is there anything you know about these two mathematicians? If you are in Huia whanau what would you use to make this presentation?

3 Questions

What do you already know about makey makey?

I am not sure what makey makey is about? I have never seen or heard of this before but I think that it will be something creative.

What are you most excited about learning with coding or robotics?

Finding out how do the coding and working with the robots.

Do you think this will be a hard task or easy task? Why?

I am not sure whether it will be easy or hard because it depends on what we are makiing/doing.

Is there life on other planets?

Walt: think critically about texts with developing confidence.

AC, KT and EM Is there life on other planets by Arie, Eva and Kylah.

Today for reading we made a poster/slide about life on other planets. I made this on canva with Kylah and Arie. We got information from a article called Is there on other planets? We also used a NASA site to look at the exoplanets, Exoplanets.

Neptune and Saturn

Walt: Create a presentation about two planets.
 

Today for reading we made a presentation about two planets in our solar system. I made this with Arie and Ella. We chose Neptune and Saturn. We made this presentation on google slides. This took us about 30 minutes to make. The first slide is facts about Saturn and the second is facts about Neptune. Arie and I worked on the Neptune slide and Ella worked on the Saturn slide. My favourite part of making this was finding the information. 

The most interesting fact I found was that is takes 60,190 Earths days to complete a whole year on Neptune. 
What planet would you choose? Are there any facts you know about these planets?

Summary of Galileo Galilei

Walt: create a summary about Galileo Galilei.

Galileo Galilei by Ella, Arie and Eva

Today for reading we had to create a poster/summary about Galileo Galilei. I made my poster with Ella and Arie. Galileo Galilei created the telescope and discovered that the moon was rough and rocky not smooth. He also discovered that the planets revolve around the sun and not the earth. I enjoyed reading this text, my favourite part was when he discovered the moons surface. 

Do you like reading about space? Would or have you read about Galileo Galilei?

Design a telescope

Walt: Design a telescope.

Today for reading we created a telescope on google drawings. I worked with Arie, Ella and Kylah. The black telescope was traced using the curve tool and was created by Ella. The other telescope was made using shapes and the curve tool. We tried to make a telescope out of cardboard at first, but there was not much cardboard left so we made a digital one. This activity was very fun and I would enjoy doing something like this again.
What materials or medium would you use? Do you enjoy creating things like this?

Storyboard and Summary

Walt: create a quality blog post that explains our learning.

Something alive is a graphic novel written by Jem Yoshioka. The main character is a young girl born in New Zealand like her mother and father, she has Japanese blood in her. Her grandmother travelled over seas to New Zealand from Japan. The girl’s accent blends in with the crowds, but she feels like a badly translated haiku. She feels frustrated when people ask or tell her things about Japan that she already knows. She feels lost in both places; Japan and New Zealand. When she feels lost, she has her family to comfort her. She also has her grandmother. Her grandmother says she is proud of her life in New Zealand.
