An investigation related to maths?

 Kia Ora!

Maths this week was focused on Statistical Investigation, ans mine was focused on the population in some places around New Zealand. A Statistical Investigation is something that shows data and reveals  its answer.  Using the data/information that we have gathered we had to make a graph that shows what we have found clearly.We also had to do two variables that also suited the information we have found. I have found four interesting facts when I finished. I figured out that:

•   Auckland has more then triple the amount that Christchurch has
• Christchurch has 343,993 more people then Nelson
• Nelson has the least amount of people out of all the places
• The most common amount of people in a large city is 400,000+

 I think I struggled most with collecting  my data, but other then that I really enjoyed my finished project!

If there anything Incorrect or I need to work on please leave it in the comments.

Imagination is key!

 Hello!

Writing this week was focused on poetry and we could write about anything we could like! After a while of thinking coming up with many ideas I chose to write about an Imaginary city that I had in a dream! The type of poem I decided to do was a rhyming poem, and I love the ending that I came up with. I struggled with some words that rhyme with each other so I used the website rhyme zone to help me! Here is the link for my writing:Here 

After reading it, is there anything I could Improve on?

Will it be a fantastic future?

 Morena!

For this week we were focusing on how important hobbies were to making us happy, we had multiple choices for what our finished project was gonna be:

• A top 10 poster about "Hobbies for Happiness"

• A how to guide for your favourite hobby (this could be a video)

• Invent a new hobby - could it incorporate both the physical and creative side

• Write an article of fun hobbies to try during lockdown - think about what we can do during lockdown and what we can't (get creative with what people have at their house)

• A poster/video for the most popular hobby in 20 years from now...

I chose the last one and created a landscape poster using canva! Even though it only said one hobby I couldn't choose between two so I just wrote for both of them! The two ones I thought of was hover ball (a sport where you ride hover boards and can move with the ball but only for 5 seconds) and time travelling (this could be helpful to solve problems later in the future or in the past or present for us).

I chose this one because I enjoy using my imagination to create a creative outcome! I personally think that the only thing I troubled with was describing my hover ball idea. Here is my DLO:

I would love to get some feedback so if you have some leave it in the comments!

Do you have a growth mindset?

 Kia Ora Everyone!

For this week as you know New Zealand is Lockdown and that means distance learning. 

 We are continuing from last weeks task and are focusing on mindset. First what is mindset? Mindset is a way you think of things.  There are two know ones, a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. A fixed mindset is a person who doesn't take challenges and thinks inside of the box, while a growth mindset is when your willing to do challenges and new things. 

We got given the task to complete a template based off one of the texts we got given. I chose the text about competitors helping or caring other competitors in the Olympics.  We had three templates to choose from and I chose template one meaning I have to pick an Important idea from the text and explain why it was important and how I have shown it. I loved writing about it especially about how I personally have shown it but struggled a bit about my grammar. Here is the link to the one as well as the picture below: Link

Even though this was a task this was not our task. 

Our task was to write about a person who has shown grit or have proven that they have a growth mindset. I chose Bethany Hamilton, a surfer known for being attacked by a shark while surfing and losing an arm! But this didn't stop her from continuing to surf. I also explained what mindset was and what I have learnt after the text! I originally used canva to do it but moved it to google drawing for a better image.  Here is the link:Mindset

What mindset do you have?

Peace week is back!

 Olá!

This week was inner peace week and our hub had to colour in a peace symbol.  I decided to do the two finger hand sign to represent peace! We also had to find a story online that represents peace and I found one I really liked! 

The story was about a king who wanted an exquisite piece of art that was peaceful for his castle so he started a competition across the land. Various famous artist entered but were surprised to find out the winning artwork. From a far the art looked like a 'anger storm' covered with red shades, but if you look closely you might notice the green bush with a mother dove taking care of her eggs.

I learnt from this story that you don't have to look peaceful to be peaceful, even if they appear to be furious.

Math Knowledge

 Hello!

Today I decided to do Multiplication for Math Knowledge! It didn't take that long since the questions were pretty easy. The only ones I really need to think about was the 9x, but otherwise It went pretty well. Sadly I lost the google sheet but I still have the questions and answers in my book!

8x7= 56 12x8= 96 4x5= 20 11x11= 121 5x9= 45 9x10= 90 12x5= 60 3x6= 18 3x12= 36 10x12= 120 5x5= 25 4x12= 48 4x8= 32 11x7= 77

There's science in happiness?

 Hello!

Term 3 has started again and so has the PBL question! For the next term we will be focusing on happiness! For the first lesson I learned about 'The Science of Happiness' which are the chemicals that cause happy emotions. They are Oxytocin-Love, Serotonin-Mood, Dopamine-Reward and Endorphins-Painkiller! We had to also list a few ways to make you more happy! I enjoyed learning this because I never had learnt about this before. 

I think I struggled most with was listing 3 ways to increase your happiness because I don't know what my viewers and people surrounding me enjoy.  Here is a picture of my final project and Click here for the actual thing!
