Winner!!! 3G 4G Prize Winner

I Won A PRIZE!!!

 Last week, on Friday I won a prize. It was from the Buddhist temple. I won a prize for writing if everybody used the 3G and 4G what would the world be like? Well I won the prize for the year 6-4 although I didnt get best in school I got best in year 6-4. 

The Prize...

Amazingly, I won I am really proud because I won out of all year 6 to 4 people at school which is a lot of people to beat I'm also proud because this is my first time winning something from the Buddhist temple which makes me really proud to finally win. So the prize. I don't want to sound ungrateful but it was kinda disappointing to me. I won a empty book a diary I don't writing a lot so i wasn't really happy it was just a fine prize I guess.

In Conclusion

I won something not bad not good but still something not 100 dollars but a diary still a winner though! 

NYLD The Most Motivational Experience I Will Ever Get!

On Thursday last week, I went to National Young Leaders Day ( N Y L D). N Y L D is a amazing place i bet you would be jealous about what I did if you knew.It was about motivation and about resilience. We got to see famous people and it was really fun.

We also had a Connected with our perspective on our selves we also had a speech Connected to our environment we should live in and what is a good environment.

My favourite part is when we did a Q&A with the famous person it was quite enjoyable hearing their answers.

In conclusion I had a really fantastic time at the National Young Leaders Day If I was able too go back their i would actually try ask a question I wasn't able too.(are you jealous now?)

Narrative Assessment

Narrative Assessment - Eye on Nature

Narrative Assessment - Eye on Nature

Learner:   Toni                                                Learning Coach:  Mrs Croll                     Date:  4 April 2017                                          Learning Area:  Science

Learning Experience: On Tuesday 28th March, Toni attended the Eye on Nature event at the Auckland Botanic Gardens.   The purpose of this trip was to provide Toni with a variety of learning opportunities so that she may gain a deep understanding and appreciation of the fundamental processes that support life on the planet and to become a guardian of his living environment.

4Cs and Key Competencies: Collaborating with others to create a healthy lunchbox and solve a food-plant activity. Finding answers to his  curiosities through exploration and questions.   Toni learned how to hold a fish correctly so that it is not damaged.  Then, he may return it to the sea if he doesn’t need to keep it.   Developing his capabilities as a scientist by grouping plants, animals and other living things into science-based classifications. Toni learned about several  butterflies and their preferred habitat, as well as participating in a game to match the flower with the fruit, e.g. pea. Toni went on a bush walk and was introduced to a variety of native birds and the trees.  He learned which trees the birds  liked to feed from and live in.

Next Steps: Share his learning with an audience, e.g. blog post, hui presentation Investigate an area of interest in an iExplore Support environmental activities around the school

Fun Science Experiments iExperience Term4

Experiment 1

Question:Can We Make water with music

Hypothesis: I think the sound on the least watered cup is the highest pitch because hitting the glass makes a sound but with water the sound will be stopped by the water to make less of a sound.

Experiment:We used a glass cup and put different levels of water.

Observe:the least water made the most sound and the full one made the least sound

Analyse:My hypothesis was correct the as the water stopped the sound
Experiment 2

Question:What side is my dominant

Hypothesis: I think that my dominant side is my right

Experiment:We did writing to test our dominant hand, winking to test our dominant eye, and kicking to test our dominant leg

Observe:I noticed my dominant side is right because i used my right side to do each thing

Analyse: my hypothesis was correct

Experiment 3

Question:Can we transfer energy with balls

Hypothesis:I think the big ball with the little ball on top it stops the 
ball from bouncing the big ball stops because the big ball hits the small ball hitting it high up.

Experiment: you would need a Big ball and a small ball/a basket ball and a tennis ball.Put the tennis ball on top of the basket ball and let go of them both the tennis ball will go flying

Observe:I noticed that a tennis ball alone wouldn't be able to reach that high to there would probably be a boost

Analyze: My hypothesis was correct

Pulley System Narrative

Learner: William, Rudi and Toni    Learning Coach: Mr Hattie            Date: 13 October 2016

Learning Area: Learning Habitat 1 - iExperience

Learning Observed

Term 4 started off with a ‘Bang’ as we had our trip to MOTAT - Museum of Transport and Technology. For the trip our iExperience have been based around simple machines and Da Vinci. William, Rudi and Toni chose to do the Pulley System iExperience. Their task was to create a pulley system out of the material provided for them. They watched a video about the way pulley’s work and then they applied the knowledge in a practice way. There was a lot of discussion around their initial ideas. They tried to just hold each of the pulleys that they made and Rudi asked “Can we get some cardboard boxes?” This allowed them to have more pulleys and a stronger base. Toni and William went on sticking pulleys at the top of the box and the bottom of the box. This gave them a 3 pulley system.  This will allow the pulley  to use more force. This was great to hear as they were Connecting the knowledge they gained from the video to the practical task. William, Rudi and Toni showed the Vision Principles of Curious and Collaboration.

Evidence of learning

The during and after of the pulley system. The end rope was tied down which allows an equal amount of force as the pulling side.

Next Learning Steps

William, Rudi and Toni’s next steps are: Explore the science behind force of a pulley system. Make this pulley system have multiple actions. Write a reflection about their learning on Da Vinci.
