Excellence Care Values 4

Last Thursday we had to go to technology at Lincoln Primary School. The pentad I am currently in is textiles and design. My plan was to originally sew a big banana plushie but I'm not very good at sewing so I just tried to make things with clay. My figure I was gonna make was a hot dog

I did most of the figure but halfway I figured out that the head wasn't looking too much like a dog so I let Milan try and reshape it but she figured out it didn't look too much like a dog at all either. So we tried to reshape it. Then we figured out that we didn't have any colour for the bun, so we tried mixing multiple colours together. It didn't really work out since the clay was so hard it didn't work. Then we hd to go to Mandarin and we revisited some words we did before. The learner quality I showed was resilience because I kept on trying to sew the banana plushie but it didn't really ever work. The care value I showed was excellence because I kept trying to do it.

WALT: Reason with linear proportions

WALT: Combine simple proportions to work out what parts the whole is made up in a unit We learnt how to calculate percentage increase and decrease. If you want to calculate percentage increase, you have to find the percentage difference between the two numbers you are comparing and divide the difference by the original number and then times it by 100 and convert that decimal into a percentage. For example: What is the percent of decrease of 16 to 14? The way you would solve this is find the difference between the original number and the new one. 16 - 14 = 2. Divide 2 by 16 which equals 0.125. Multiply that by 100 and it equals 12.5%, So its a 12.5% decrease. WALT: Combine proportions to work out what parts are whole is made up of using non multiples of 10. We learnt how to calculate how much the percentage increased or decreased in number. The way I did this was I found the percentage and if it was an increase: added it onto the 100, and if it was a decrease: subtra...

Merit Care Values 2

Technology This Thursday when we went to technology. For this pentad, my group is in the science block. For science we learn about the periodic table and the science process. This week we decided to test how far an egg could drop before it would crack. We had four eggs and went up by 5cm every time an egg survived the drop. 2 of the eggs only went up to 10cm before cracking and the 2 other eggs ended up getting to a meter before cracking. After that we ended up making a bar graph showing our results and the average. The care values I think I showed this week was Active Thinking, as we had to use our brains to make a hypothesis and make us think outside the box for when we started dropping eggs.

Alternative NZ Flags

I think that the flag should stay the same as we have now. There is no point in spending millions of money just to change the flag. So what if our flag kinda looks like the Australian flag. Soon our notes will end up looking like Australian notes. But if we would be changing flags my favourite one would be the second one.
