Isaac Newton

Lately in Room 6, we have been learning about a scientist named Sir Isaac Newton.  For the past couple of weeks we have been doing science experiments related to him. We also did lot's of research about him in groups. While doing this work around Isaac newton we all learnt what a fair test is, a fair test is an experiment where you do something in the same position and place and don't change anything. Our goal was to create a slideshow about Issac Newton's laws and explain how a rocket can work in space. Sadly I didn't explain how a rocket can work in space yet.

I did some research on Isaac Newton and watched some videos about the different laws of his such as inertia, acceleration, and force and gravity. Before doing this I didn't know anything about the Isaac Newton's laws of motion, but learnt lot's through research and videos.  

What I did well : Added lot's of information about his laws of motion

What I found challenging : Finishing it on time and understanding the scientific language

Next steps : Adding more information about Issac Newton's life 

Where is the Love?

In Room 6 we have been researching about South Sudan and the conflict that is happening there. Also we have been learning about how Caritas has been helping them and how we can help. I made a graffiti art showing the conflict that is happening in South Sudan I think that my art brings a good message. The message I wanted to get through was stop the war and have peace because where is the love in South Sudan there is only war.  

Waitangi Day Landwars

WALT: Explore how the changes in the Treaty of Waitangi can have different consequences. Explain when and why the New Zealand land wars occurred.  

When creating my DLO I enjoyed learning new knowledge on the Treaty of Waitangi. 

Next time I will add more pictures and make my DLO more interesting.

Something I did well was put in lots of information.

Something I found challenging was putting the information from the articles I read into my own words.

akomanga- Classroom

In Room 6 we had to make a Maori classroom and use screencastify to present it. I really enjoyed drawing my own classroom with Alex and Naiema. I found challenging trying to pronounce the objects in the classroom in Maori.  Next time I will be more clear and present it better.

Pate Drum

In Room 6 we had to choose a Tongan instrument t and do a D.L.O about it. I choose the Pate Drum because I thought it was interesting.

I need to work on adding more detail. I enjoyed learning new facts about the Pate Drum. I found it hard trying to draw the Pate drum.
