Tech Reflection/Coding,Algorithms and Robotics

Tech Reflection:

Today we went to tech. At Tech Miss Fregson was our teacher. She was helping us with Coding,algorithms and Robotics. We learned and played a game so we understand what algorithms mean. Algorithms means Introductions. She gave us an example she said what did Miss Anderson tell you when you got into the bus and when you got off the bus. 

She said to do coding when you fished coding at the robot is plunged to your laptop whatever is on your coding is on your laptop the robot will do.

Here is a photo of our robot.

Plastic Pollution / Explanation / LS2

LI: To collaboratively structure and write an explanation

Plastic pollution in and around our waterways has become a real problem.
Each year the litter we drop  travels out to sea through drains, streams,
lagoons and estuaries. This rubbish in our oceans harms and kills millions
of sea creatures, who get caught in it or mistake it for food.

Why is plastic pollution a problem for our coastlines?

Did you know that plastic makes up 90% of the pollution on the ocean's surface? And most of that plastic waste comes from land, after being carried through drains, rivers and lagoons. This is one
of the major issues right now happening all around the world, as it’s polluting the marine environment and killing over 1,000,000 sea animals every year!...We are in a desperate need for a change.

It’s only getting worse, and we continue to sculpt a bad future for ourselves. New Zealand consumes over 30kgs of plastic a year, but only 1/6 of it is being recycled! Why? Because we choose to throw our plastic on the ground, instead of simply recycling or putting it in the bin.

All the plastic we unconsciously leave floating around on streets and pathways are slowly taking out our innocent sea animals. They mistake the pieces of plastic for food, and eat it… killing them. It even gets in our food, making it not safe to eat.

Let’s make a change, by remembering to pick up the plastic, or any piece of rubbish for that matter that we see lying around.

Summary / Reading/ LS2

This week for Reading our task was to write in Keywords. We also had to highlight the very important keywords. I learned to write a paragraph with the 6 important words.

Here is our paragraph. The Keywords that are highlighted are Very Important.

Our Keywords are:

• War
• Important
• Treaty 
• Crown
• Respect 
• Conflict
• Maori
• Pakeha 
• Missionaries
• Governor
• Chiefs
• Trust
• NZ
• Honest
• Leaders 

The Treaty of Waitangi was created to bring peace between the pakeha people and the Maori people. The Treaty of Waitangi was created because the conflict and wars were getting out of hand. There were mistakes because the missionaries don’t know how to speak Maori. 

Kiwi Sport refection / Cricket / LS2

For Kiwi Sport we did cricket. Our cricket Couch Brian from the HPCC cricket club. The 2  main things we learned in kiwi sport was Batting and Bowling. Group 1 started with Batting and group 2 started with Bowling. For Batting We had try and hit the ball as far as we so we can have more runs. The Felders have to try and get the ball and put on the cone. For Bowling we had to try and throw the ball at a cone or the poles. If you hit one of them then we had to put one cone in the pole. We had to try and get all 4 cone on the poles.
I learned how to bat a ball and how to throw the ball at a cone or a pole.
The Hardest skill I learned was trying to bat the ball as far as I can.

Today in maths we worked as thinking teams to find the two answers. In the Photo you will see My group members. The wiledly Addtion working out the number value of our group name.

supposed to be in bed resting because of his knee.
The most shocking article was Southland flooding. Lukah, Acien, Vayan, Afatia, Liletina, Azatulah
