Digital tech L.S.

Digital tech helps us to create amazing things. (I couldn't find a picture of me.)

Digital tech is something that helps us learn to code things to make it do what you want them to do. You can use different sites such as hour of code, code club and scratch to make games, e-cards, google doodles and dance parties.

Sphero.

Sphero is a little robot ball that you can control with an app on the I-pad and you can use coding blocks to code it to move in different places and directions. You can code it to make different shapes, patterns, do obstacle courses and you can even make your name. I also earned how to programme the bee-bots, which are a different type of robot, to move and do obstacle courses.

Scratch.

I chose to share this coding programme because it is easy to use. I like to use scratch because you can make google doodles, I like to do google doodles because you can show something you want people to know or for a celebration.

At digital tech, I learned how to create a computer game using python and gamefroot to show an issue/opinion you feel strongly about. I also learned how to create games, make people dance and make e-cards.

Pedal ready snapshot.

This is me at Pedal Ready.

I want to share this with you my whanau because we are learning how to be safe on the road.

The key competency I used was managing self because I wanted to listen so I know how to be safe on the road.

My next steps are to use the key competency of Relating to Others by helping others if they are stuck or don’t know how to ride a bike.

Kapahaka snapshot of learning.

This is me doing kapahaka.

I want to share this with you my whanau because I have improved a lot with singing, doing hakas and the actions.

The Key Competency  I used was managing self because I listened so I knew what to do.

My next steps are to help others not talk in the middle of the singing, by reminding them and ignoring them if they talk. I can be a role-model for others.

Expressions snapshot.

This is me learning how to use expressions with our book.

I want to share this learning with you my whanau because I want you to see how much fun books are when you use expressions.

The Key Competencies I used was managing self because I didn't get distracted by anyone else when I was working with my buddy on our expressions, and participating and contributing by sharing ideas

I shared my ideas when I had an idea of an expression we could do.

My next steps are when I make mistakes, don’t carry on, stop and try and fix the mistake I did.

Maths snapshot.

This is me doing maths with my group. We were solving a fractions problem about how many bags of sugar does Aano’s family need. We had to add ⅔ and ¾.

I want to share this with you my whanau because I have been more confident with sharing my ideas.

The Key Competency I used was Participating and Contributing when I shared ideas because when I have great ideas on what we could do I just share it.

Bothamley park learning story

Bothamley Park Learning story

Problem:

How can we look after and support our local park? How can I use my ‘voice’ to make a difference?

My Learning:

I noticed that the stream was polluted with rubbish like plastics and packets  (also an old motorbike, glass) so we could pick up all the rubbish to make the stream clean. I found out that there are heaps of different invertebrates like banded kokopu and dragonflies I feel sad because people just leave their rubbish lying around then it all goes in the stream. Now I will try to convince people to put their rubbish in the bin by making signs saying please put your rubbish in the bin or please pick up rubbish you see.

Brooklyn’s Art Learning Story

The problem:

How do I communicate what Bothamley Park is like using the style of Henri Matisse?

What we did:

We cut out shapes to represent what we saw at Bothamley park and we did a draft before we did the real one.  This is the draft.

Here is a photo of my art:

Success Criteria:  To represent the environment I saw at Bothamley Park, I will use-

• Cut out shapes
• Repeated shapes and patterns
• A range of geometric shapes.
• Bright and bold colors.

(highlight the success criteria you achieved)

My Learning:  (Choose 2 to write about)

I was good at cutting out repeated shapes. I used the key competency of managing self as learning power because we could get our work done faster.
