Commenting Do's & Don'ts

This is our Commenting do's and don'ts. I worked with Aaliyah and we did two do's and don'ts when we were only supposed to do one. We thought it would be good to do two because it is more information.  I found it easy to do this work because we were sitting together and we could verbally talk. We worked collaboratively and didn't get one person to do one thing and the other to do another. Next time I think we can make it a little more pretty and not just black and white. I found it hard to get my buddy to share her ideas but when she did she had great ones and we used them well. This was a fun and easy thing to do. 

Matawai visit

Today some Matawai students came to our school for the day. We did physical education in the first block and then we did a challenge.  We had to make a paper plane that included 4 pieces of 4 straws some blue tack and some tap. I was in a group with two Matawai girls and and one our my friends from school. 

In our group we had to have some Matiwai students, a mixture of year 7s and 8s. We had to follow a few rules while making our paper planes. We had to use all the equipment except the tape and we only had 20 minutes. We folded a paper plane and then added the straws to make it more structured and the tape to hold things together. We didn't really have any place to put the bluetack so we just stuck it to the bottom of the plane. We tested the plane a few times before the length challenge and we thought it was too heavy. There was nothing we could change about it some we entered the challenge. 

We didn't go very well but we didn't came last. Of plane was to heavy and that was why it didn't go as far as the best ones. I thought it is fun working with others that you don't normally work with. Then again I thought it a little hard working with people who you can't relate to as much. Overall I think it was really cool working with Matawai and having them at our school for the day.

My Timetable for the Week

This is my timetable for the week. We have 4 learner profiles which indicate what timetable you get, what privileges you get and what you can chose to do for the week. I am in the highest profile so I get to chose and activity from our list. We have to do one math, one reading, one writing and one future focus. I made a game with gamefroot and you can click on the link on slide 8 to play it. We have workshops throughout the week to that we have to timetable in as well as must do's.

Staying Safe on the Internet

For this piece of work we got put into buddy's and we weren't allowed to see or talk to each other. The only way we could communicate was though comments. I found this challenging but fun also. We had to come up with 3 ideas to talk about, then we had to create a character to say our messages. We did this activity to get ready for when we start working with other schools far away.
