IALT: Reflect on Technology

Kia Ora everyone and welcome to my blog! If you do not know, the year 7 and 8's at TPS have technology every Thursdays at Tamaki College. There are three different classes and they are Hard Materials with Mr Grundy, Cooking with Mrs Tuipulotu and Graphics with Ms Ferguson. My group is currently in Hard Materials with Mr Grundy and this year we are using Wood to make something.

In the beginning of the term, Mr Grundy showed us some examples of the things he has made using wood. My favourite was the Fire Truck because he used his creativity in order to make the Fire Truck move with the ladder etc. Here is an example of a finished project:

I have made a story explaining what I have chose to make, who is it for and how it is useful.

The design I have chose to make is a fridge with a mirror on the door.

I chose this design because it would be easier for my mum and sister to access a smaller mirror when doing their makeup.

This allows them not only to do their makeup properly but also store things inside.

It can be used at home, in the car or wherever she is doing her makeup.

My design has changed slightly and it has changed into a box with a mirror on the front. The door ended up being quite tricky so I decided to make it simple and turn it into a box. I can't wait to see my finished product.

It is something similar to the image above but instead it is a box with a lid and the mirror is on the front.

I really enjoyed today's Technology session and I can't wait to come back next term.

Question of the blog: What is something you have made using Wood?

🇳🇿Kiwiana and NZ Geography - Hamilton🇳🇿

Malo E Lelei and welcome to my blog. In week 9 the Kia Manawanui syndicate started learning about New Zealand's geography. This was apart of our inquiry topic. Here is a Screencastify video I have made to explain our tasks from week 9 to week 11.

I have completed the Hamiltons DLO and I have shown one of Hamilton's many attractions which is Hamilton's Gardens. Here is the DLO:

As you can see, on the DLOS their are different tasks. On this one, we had to locate Hamilton on the map, fill in the gaps below which were from the article and explain one attraction in Hamilton.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I am currently working on the Wellingtons DLO and I can't wait to share it with you all! 

QOB: What's one thing you know about Hamilton?

Thank you for reading this blog! Make sure to give me some POSITIVE feedback and feedforward! Also check out my class blog Kia Manawanui @ TPS and leave us a comment! Bye :)

⌨️My Blog Analysis⌨️

⌨️My Blog Analysis⌨️

IALT: 

• To use data to look closely at (analyse) our own blog post totals over time.
  
  
• To be able to use vocab around statistical investigations.
  
  
• To be able to gather, sort and analyse data
  
  

Malo E Lelei and welcome to my blog! Today Room 9 created a Bar Graph using Google Sheets to present the data and information we got from our analysation of our blogs. 

I created a DLO to present my bar graph. I have made a goal that I want to achieve by the end of this year. I have also reflected on my Graph. Take a look for yourself:

I think having this analysis will help motivate me so that I can blog a lot more! I think blogging is really important because it helps you reflect on your learning and share it with others.

QOB: What's your blogging goal?

🖥Bookmarks 101🖥

🖥Bookmarks 101🖥

IALT: 

• Practise keyboard shortcut to show and hide bookmark bar
• Bookmark key learning sites relevant to your learners!

Malo E Lelei and welcome to my blog! Today is Wednesday which means we have cybersmart with Ms Collins. Today we are learning about BOOKMARKS!

To make a bookmark you go onto whatever website you want to bookmark and you click the star on the top right corner. When the star has turned blue, you have made a bookmark which will be added to your bookmark bar. To see your bookmark bar press CTRL + SHIFT + B. This will allow you to see all your bookmarks. Here is an example:

Here is a screenshot of my bookmarks bar:

Having bookmarks makes it very easy and fast to access your learning. As you can see all my bookmarks make it easier for me to just click on it and access whatever I need to do. For example, if Mr Janse asks us all to open our netbooks and go onto our blog, it would only take 2 clicks because you click on the Google Chrome icon and then onto your bookmark.

QOB: How many bookmarks do you have?

Fun Trick: To make a bookmark faster you can just press CTRL + SHIFT + D.

Thank you for reading this blog! Make sure to give me some feedback and feedforward! Bye :)

🔒Lockdown Drill🔒

🔒Lock down Drill🔒

Kia Ora and welcome to my blog! Today Tamaki Primary school had a lock down drill at 10:00am. A Lock down happens if the school is in danger or if there is any type of threat towards our school. When a lock down happens, everyone in the class, including the teachers have to all gather in the middle of the room and lie down. This makes it look like there is no one in the class. This will help keep everyone safe.

Today during Maths, we heard the school bell ring on and off. This was our que to get to the middle of the class. Everyone was brilliant at doing this. Mr Janse had his laptop with him just to be in contact with the other staff. 

I think Room 9 was really good at being quiet during the Lock down, but I think next time, some of us can take it a bit more seriously. 

I think having this Lock Down drill is really important, cause it sets us up for when it really happens.

Question of the blog:

Have you ever been in a real Lock down?

Thank you for reading! Bye :)
