Brain Master

Feed back from other groups.

None of the groups said we need to change anything on the board or about the rules, and how to play. The groups that played game they said they enjoyed playing it and they said they had lots of fun. They also said that our instructions were easy to follow to learn to play. It was quit interesting how everyone like it.

I think our game was quit fun when we played it. Everything on the board is quit different compeared to everyone else game. But it is more fun when everyone is having fun and participating with eachother. 

Curious Cove

 My favourite part of camp was when we went to Motuara. when we got to the island We all slowly got off the boat. Soon later we started walking up the island. It took about 15 minutes to get up the island which was steep but still fun. Getting to the top and looking over the sea, just in the distance we saw Kapiti Island, which was cool as. About 10 minutes later was we started to walk back down the island. It was way faster walking back down then going up the island. When we got back to the bottom we waited for a few minutes then we left to go to Ships Cove.

My least favourite part was going on the boat and when we came back on the ferry, because I felt very sick. I also didn't like when days it was raining cause we wouldn't do much.

Cool as place

Unique scenery

Really interesting things

Incredibly small crabs

Ocean is amazing

So fun when it rained

Cute animals

Out of this world sea life

Very fun place.

Everyone loves going on walks

About my board game.

 Last week on Monday 16-11-20  my groups board game Brain Master was created, it was created becasue our teacher told everyone in the class to get into groups to creat a random game. In my group was Me, Eden, Selena, Tara and Ella.  Anyway our game is called Brain Master, and its quite a easy game to play with friend. Things you need for the is counters, 2 dice and the board that we made. The teacher gave a list which should be on the board game, this is it 

The game has a name?  Instructions were simple and easy to follow? Rules were clear for your group to understand? The equipment was listed for the game? It was Fun to play? 2-6 players play this game? Game presentation is 100%? The game has to be finished by 27-11-20.

I think the game was really good and fun to play.

where do I see myself in 10 years

W.A.L.T think about what our future will be.

In 10 years time I want to go to university and study to be a dentist. To get to there I will try be my best at every thing and always try before I give up to do something.

Something I have learn't this week

I learn't how to do a sketch board in art, first I coloured the whole piece of paper with crayon. Then I put two layers of black paint and let it dry, then I sketched my disign and slowly scratched the black paint off. It was really fun. 

Something I have learned this week

 This week in DMIC the teachers gave two groups a problem. At first I didn't get the problem at the start but soon later I understood how to do it. When it was time to present our group and the other group both presented it differently.  

I almost completed all my work which was quite easy. That is basicaly all I learnt this weeek.

What something I learned in the week

 This week we had to learn about this program called DARE, a police officer came in to our class and talked with us about drugs. There are good drugs and bad drugs, some drugs are to help people with pain. 

Every day this week we did kaitaikitanga, kaitiakitanga is about caring about the environment and what we are do to the environment. Kaitiakitanga means guardianship and managment.

We also have started on this new site called epic, it is story and books on a website and we read them after break times. I enjoy reading the books because sometimes if your not bothed reading it you can push a button and it would read it to you.

Environmental Issue

 W.A.L.T- find an environmental issue we are passionate about.

My Environmental Issue is going to be global warming. I have chosen it because I am

passionate about learning more about it and how it is affecting the world.

I am working with Eden because she will help me and I trust her to work with me. 

The effects to the world of global warming is that the environments are all throughout the world.

Like now some animals have to adapt to living in warmer places when their spouse has to live a

cold climb. Some courses of global warming are greenhouse gases and the human impact.

Goal Blog

W.A.L.T inform our audience how we will achieve our Class goal for Term 3.

I choose Responsibility because I should take more care of my own thing, like charge my electronics. Not fight as much with my sibling. Be prepared for each different class at school.

This goal is importent because it will help me in life a bit better and with daily rountine.

My blog profile

Nǐ hǎo, 

My name is Dayna, I'm a student at Ōtaki College in New Zealand. My interests are Maths, Running, Basketball and Netball. I have a dog who is named Bear and a cat called Nia. One thing not many people know about me is that I’ve been to China 4 times. I hope you enjoy my blog.

Science

Today lit a bunsen burner, it took me a few times to light the match and then I turned on the gas and then I turn the collar. If the collar was open it would make a orange flame and if it was closed it would be blue. It was so funn.

Maths

W.A.L.T use in Algebra the order of operation.

Thing I learn't this week was the order of operation in maths, I did really get it at first and now get it. The order of moperation is 1  Brackets 2 Exponents  3 Division and Multiplication  4 Subtraction and Addition.  But if there were no brackets, If like there was only Divsion and Mutiplication you would have to work the problem out from left to right. If it was the same with Subtraction and Addition you would just do it the same way.

Hanging Out With My Friend Eden

In the second week of the holidays I went to my friend Eden's place to stay for the night. When I got

to her place we had some pumpkin soup and toast for lunch, we sat down for a bit then we went down

to the beach for a run around. After being at the beach for about 10 minutes we walked back to her

house.

Soon later we got a bit bored so we decided to scooter down to Haruatai park, which took about 15 to 20

minutes to get there and we stopped once to go to the diary to get some lollies. We sat around there

for a bit then  scootered back to her place, then watched the movie movie Ralph Breaks The Internet and talked with our other friends

on our phones.
Later on it was dinner time Edens mum had made rice, vegs and some cut up steak. When we finished

dinner we went back to her room and continued watching the movie Ralph Breaks The Internet, and soon

later we went to sleep around 10pm.

The next day we got ready, then Eden's Mum's car didn't start, so we caught the bus to Paraparumu.

When we got there we went into the mall and thought about what we

would do, we walked around for a bit to burn time. We went to farmers like at least 7 times, then we went

to pasco's to buy my mum  some earrings.

At 12.40 we went to the cinema to watch Trolls World tour. We got some popcorn and some snacks from paknsave and went to go watch the movie. Later we saw some teachers and some friends, while we

were walking around. We went back to Edens Mum and we went to get some clothes for her. Then we walked down to the train station in Paraparaumu

We took a train back to Waikanae and Eden's brother picked us up and took us all back to her place.

Soon later we had rice and chicken for dinner, then my dad picked me up. I had such A fun time with

Eden. I Hope we can spend more time like that again.

My seed log in science

Today some of the beans have sprouted. The lemon and peas I don't think they have sprouted yet.

My Saturday Weekend

On Saturday I woke up at about 8.20am, got dressed went outside and walked my dog down to the dog park. There were no dogs there, but we had a great time playing and running around. We walked back home and breakfast was ready, mum had made bacon and eggs and it was really nice. About 30 minutes later we went to our gardens witch is about 6 minutes away from our home.

When we got to the garden I walked down the back and I drove the tractor back to the front and loaded it with some crates  onto the tractor. Then my dad drove it down the back to cut Lettuce, after about 20 crates it was lunch time. So we pack up and walked back to have lunch and have a little break. Soon after   Lunch we walked back and finish the rest of the Lettuce. 

And then there was a bit of a breeze so me and my sister took out the kite and flew it for a bit, soon I got a bit bored so I started doing some tiktoks with my dog. That was so fun, soon later we went back home that was my weekend.

Queen Birthday

Queen Birthday

Queen's Birthday it celebrated every year on the 1st of june, which is also celebrated in most Commonwealth countries like Australia and New Zealand. Queen's Birthday is a national holiday, Schools and some businesses will close during this time which goes for 3 days.

This year Queen Elizabeth II is turning 94 years old, she became Queen when it was 1953. She was only 27 when she bacame Queen to the 57 Commonwealth countries.

For Queen's Birthday this year me and my family went to Auckland for a holiday, first we woke up early at 2am and we got ready to head to Auckland. We stopped in Taupo around 7.30am and had Subway for breakfast, and that was the only time we stopped.

When we arrived in Auckland we went to Taco Bell for lunch, it was so good. After we had Lunch we went my parents friends house we gave her a few things, then head to have dinner we went to a resraunt and the food was so good. We stayed the night at my parents friend place.

The next day we went to Auckland Zoo, it was so fun we saw so many diffrent animals. My favourite animals were the Monkeys and the Lions. We were there for a few hours then we went back to pack up all of our stuff, put it into the car and came back to Otaki.

My Level 4 Lock down

Every day during the level 4 lock down I would go help my parents at our garden, which is about 7 minutes drive from our house. At our garden we grow Cauli flower, Broccoli, Brocco flower, Red Cabbege, Parsley, Beet root.

Almost every day we had to cut Cauli flower and that takes about a few hours. When it was raining I  would put on our rain jacket  and go and help my mum, she would most the time be picking parsley. I would ask her if she needed a hand with anything.

When I'm at the garden I would always have something to do, sometime it gets really boring and sometime it would be very fun. A few time when I had nothing to do I would ask my sister if she needed any help with anything.

Thats what I mostly did during the end of level 4 lock down, now it's fun being back at school.

DMIC Problem Solving

Problem Solving

The importint thing that we do as a group is to paticapate and share ideas with the group, re-read the question for key word to help you solve the problem and find ways to solve the problem like you could use a bar gragh, chart, t chart, pie chart. 

After we solve the problem there are 4 roles that people in the group have to play, they are.
Roles

1. Reader that reads the problem out.
2. Writer the one who writes the answer on the bored.
3. Explaner they Explan how they got the answer.
4. Questioner who at the end ask's if there are any questions about how you got the answer

That is how we do problem solving in our class.
