How to stay safe in an volcanic eruption

 LI: to explain how to stay safe in a disaster.

This DLO is showing how to stay safe in an volcanic eruption. To stay safe, you have to follow the orders, if you're indoor close all doors and windows, when outside stay away from low areas and seek shelter, use a mask to avoid breathing dust, wear goggles to protect your eye and stay out of the area the volcano is in.

Natural Disaster Research | Volcanic eruption

LI: to define your natural disaster.

For this activity I picked a natural disaster and defined it using the questions on the DLO. The natural disaster I picked to research about volcanic eruptions. I learnt the latest volcanic eruption was 600 years ago in Rangitoto. 

Food technology

LI: to learn how to cook.

For tech we were making a Hawaiian dish called Mapo beef and eggplant. To make this dish you will need:

Frying pan

1 table spoon oil

1 large eggplant diced

1 diced onion

1 clover garlic diced

1 table spoon soy sauce, 1 table spoon white vinegar, 1/2 table spoon chilli sauce, 1 table spoon chopped ginger mixed

1 teaspoon sugar

8 table spoon water and 1 table spoon cornflour mixed

Beef mince, chicken or pork

First grab your meet and dice them up, next add your 1 table spoon oil and add your diced onion and garlic in your heated frying pan. Next add your diced meat. Wait for meat to cook and add the sauce and sugar. Wait for meat to get thick and add water and cornflour. Wait for it to cook and your cooking will be ready. Have fun eating.

Careers Pathway

LI: to find out the qualifications I will need to become an architect .

This is my careers pathway and this DLO shows what I need to learn in school to get this job, what architects need to have and what I have experienced to get this job. I picked this job because I find drawing, designing interesting and making things. Sometimes when I'm drawing I get creative and draw thing that are not real. When I go to college I have to learn Maths, Physics, design and visual communication, digital technology and construction and mechanical technologies.

Maniakalani Survey

LI: to help juniors with a survey.

Our class LS2  helped some of the juniors from our school do the Maniakalani survey. The survey asked about how they learn in their classes and how they feel. I found helping the kids fun because i liked finding out what they feel in their classes.

Dance Class #1

LI: to use our body to dance.

This is the first week of dance class and our teacher is called Mrs Rebecca. The topic this week is called Me and my Body. We learnt that dancing is expressive, it includes movements, creativity and that there is freedom in dancing. We worked collaboratively to make shape formations to make these shapes when the music stops. I found this really fun for the first session. I liked making the letters with my friends.

Life Education

LI: to understand the four walls of Hauora.

For Life Education we were learning about how our brains work with Nicole. She told us  how to keep our four walls of Hauora stable. I learnt that we have 70,000 thoughts a day, I actually thought that we think about 700 or 500 times a day. We watched a video about Kapi and what he went through to help us  keep our walls stable. My favourite part of the Life Education was seeing Harold the giraffe because he was kind of funny.

Science Main Idea

LI: to find the most vital ideas from the information to help us answer the question “What is science?”.

This DLO is identifying the ideas of science which we have learnt from the information we have gained. To find the vital information, we negotiated by collaborating and communicating with our team. We shared our opinions and ideas, we took notes and from them we selected and rejected information to get to our final conclusion. 

For us the 3 main vital ideas are:

Science is the discovery of What, Why, and How events happen

The three main branches of science are Physics, Chemistry, and Biology

There are two main categories of science, and they are Basic and Applied Science

Science Summary

LI: to summarise the information.

This DLO is highlighting our summary about what we know about science. In our groups, we have been sharing our ideas on posted notes and found the key words which we then wrote a summary about what science is. To then create a summary about the topic. We needed to skim and scan for key vocabulary to create this DLO. We also had to join our ideas together to create a more efficient idea.

We used our new question dice to help us construct some questions we want to find more about. The three questions we made using the dices were:

1. When did science start?
2. How will science progress in the future?
3. Who was the first scientist?
