Inquiry Learning story

This term in Room 12 me and J.J's inquiry is about how we can teach and share our culture and languages with others in our community.We choose this because we want to express our culture by doing art around the school,Also to make Corinna School look the best as it can. We want to put cultural art on the walls and use spaces that aren't being used like the old dental clinic. These spaces don't look very good at the moment.

At the moment we are planning our inquiry and researching how we can take action.

Watch out for more posts about our progress.

Inquiry Reflection & Planning Journal

reading learning story

In reading I have been learning about enviroschool's. One of the school's we learnt about was Hukanui  School.
We chose Hukanui school because they had creative idea's that might give us idea's of how we can improve our space and make them safe enviro place's.         

Big idea:  

How are others are exploring, innovating and creating opportunities and challenges for people, places, and environments as kaitiaki in their Community?

Learning Goals:

1. locating and summarising ideas (e.g., by skimming or scanning, by identifying key words, topic sentences, and key questions, or by using subheadings)
2. evaluating and integrating ideas and information across a small range of texts;

Here's my Hukanui school brainstorm

When I read this story I found out that they had to do a lot of things to achieve their goal.They had to plan what they were going to do, ask teachers what they want to do and find out whats best for hukanui school to be a enviroschool. They also had to find out where they can get there equipment from and ask the principal for permission first and teachers.

It helped me by telling me how I can plan things out to make our school a enviroschool and what we need to do to achieve our inquiry goals. 

My Independent math learning

In math I am learning how to work out fraction problems and how to use patterns when i'm stuck and also how to break up fraction to make it possible to divide and easier to work out.

The problem i solved was about Nash and sia. They were thinking about making new lava lava for poly club each lava lava use's 2/3  of a metre of materiel.

First I went 1/3 of 15 =15 divided by 3 =5

Then I went 2/3 of 15 =2 x 5 = 10m

Next I took the answer from both of the equations and timed them both and the answer to the lava lava problem was

10 metres to make 15 lavalava

My next step is to not be shy when the teacher says I have to share my learning to the class and to make sure that I worked out the problem in a way that the class can understand.

2016 MATHS learning story

In maths we are learning to work as a group and to include others.In maths we have been learning different ways to solve fraction problem in my group.I had to share my ideas and include others so they know what we are doing and so they can come up with different ideas. 

The problem me and my group solved was about Nash and sia. They were thinking about making new lava lava for poly club each lava lava use's 2/3  of a metre of materiel

I was trying to find out how much material would they need to buy to make 15 lava lava.

First I went 1/3 of 15 =15 divided by 3 =5

Then I went 2/3 of 15 =2 x 5 = 10m

Next I took the answer from the first equation which was 5x2 because that was the answer to the other equation and it equalled 10m to make 15 lava lava's.

Technology Learning Story

Every Wednesday after noon's,  all the year 7 and 8 go to Brandon for technology.At technology I learnt how to cook food that is healthy. For example we learnt how to cook pan cakes with out sugar.

I have also been learning how to cook safely in the Brandon kitchen by wearing oven gloves and listen carefully to the person that knows how to cook the food that we were cooking.I am good at mixing ingredients that it gets a good taste and that it taste just right.

I feel confident around the cooking class because I have alot of friends that can help me till I get the best of my ability.

My next step is to practice how to make my special
 food at home and to try using different ingredients
to get same looks and different taste.
