Being a CyberSmart Ninja - Manaiakalani Film Festival Entry

Being a CyberSmart Ninja

Hub 9 learners were inspired to share their amazing cybersmart skills that they learned with Mrs Grant every Monday.  We decided that we wanted to become CyberSmart Ninjas and thought about how we might do that.

Are you a CyberSmart Ninja?  Your online choices will decide your destiny.

Thanks for watching.  We hope you enjoyed it.  Please leave a comment.

Mrs England’s Breakthrough groups- Jewellery Group

Mrs England’s Breakthrough groups- Jewellery Group

These wonderful learners have been learning about Jewellery. They have found out when Jewellery was first made in history and how it has changed over time.

They have also explored different types of Jewellery made today and found out about all the different types of Jewellery.

This Friday the group focused on making shapes and Jewellery out of play dough. They decided to look into making jewellery out of clay. They wanted to start experimenting with play dough first because you can’t change clay, but play dough can be changed and reformed to make different shapes.

Here are some examples of the group’s designs and Jewellery with Play Dough...

...Jewellery Breakthrough...

Here are the AMAZING Jewellery Breakthrough group.

They have been working great together today. They have come up with a plan of what Jewellery they want to make and what one they will make first, second and lastly. 

It has been great to see how on task and focused they are as learners!

Singing

Dance

All groups have been hard at work today brainstorming and drawing what they already know about their chosen topic. We knew a little bit of information in our area of choice, but we have so much more to learn. We have also brainstormed what we now want to learn about and what we want to do/ achieve with our chosen Breakthrough. 

We are all super excited about our topics for Term 2. 

Bring on Breakthrough for Term 2! 

Our Wonderful Learners!

Measurement: Learning about Capacity!

Mrs England's Measurement learners...

Today we focused on learning about capacity and volume.

We now have an understanding that capacity is the amount of space within a object and how much it can hold. 

We were able to order a range of containers, all different sizes, to see what ones had the smallest capacity, to the largest containers having a larger capacity. It was a very fun activity. 

The children gained a better understanding of how to find out how to find out a containers capacity and to see if it is larger or smaller than others. 

The children also used explored what millilitres (ml) and litres (L) are and how we use them to measure the weight of containers and their capacity.

We felt what a litre was, using a 1 litre milk bottle and then used this knowledge to compare other objects weight. 

We used a continuum and made decisions about where other objects sat on our 'buckets' (continuum) and placed where we believed each object sat by its weight e.g. if it was more, about or less than a litre.
