Current Events International

Our task was to create a map explaining some of the current events happening throughout the world. We used different sites to find our information such NZ Herald, Kea Kids NZ and many more. An example of a current event is that Bronny James joins his fathers in the NBA on the 22nd of October, he finished with 1 rebound. In his in preseason game against the Warriors, he scored 17 points with four rebounds, 3 steals, and 1 block in 35 minutes.

I enjoyed this task because I learnt about the different events happening around the world.

Tokelau Language Week

For Tokelauan language week we created a DLO with 10 facts we found interesting about Tokelau. We researched and looked on different websites to find interesting facts to share on our DLO. 2 facts I found interesting was that Tokelau is a home to many native speices such as graceful spurge, coconut palm tree, and birds nest fern.  Tokelauan is the most frequently spoken language in Tokelau, with English as close second, and about 45% of the population can speak Samoan.

 

Area of a Circle

Our task was to find the area of a circle. The formula for finding the area is pi x r2. R stands for radius and is the line that goes from one side of the circle to the middle and pi is approximately 3.14. To find the area of a circle, you have to do pi x r2. If the radius was 6cm, you would have to do the radius sqared so 6×6 =36 x pi (3.14). The answer is 36 x 3.14 which gives us the answer of 113.04.

Circumference of a Circle

We learnt about circumference of a circle which is the perimeter of the circle. The formula for finding the Circumference is pi x diamter or pi x radies x 2 . The diamtere is the line that goes through the centre of the circle fully. The radius is the line the goes from one side of  the circle to the centre and Pi is approximately 3.14. To find the circumference you have to multiply pi (3.14) by the diameter. For example if the diameter is 5cm it will be 5 x 3.14 = 15.7. Another way to find the Circumference of a circle if the circle only shows the radius, is to do pi x radius x 2 . For example, if the radius is 4, you have to multiply 4 by 2. Now, do 8 x pi (8 x 3.14), which is 25.12.

 

 

Underwater Transport AI Prompt

LI: To generate an AI image using specific prompts on Adobe Express.

Our task was to write a prompt to AI to generate an image based of our description using Adobe Express. First we only used 5 instructions to write as our prompt. My first prompt was underwater transport, with a ice cream machine, a water slide coming out of the window,  oreos, and a chocolate fountain with strawberry’s on top. After multiple tries once we found a photo we liked, we then used B.A.R thinking key to help us build a greater prompt. B stands for bigger which means to make something bigger. A stands for add so add something onto the photo. R stands for replace or remove. I englarged the pineapple, replaced the wheels as Oreos, and added a water gun. My finally prompt was underwater double decker bus, oreos as wheels, SpongeBob themed water gun, and massive pineapple on top.

I found this task interesting because our main thing was to create a prompt using our creativy and B.A.R thinkers key.

Hauroa

LI: To understand the Maori world view of Hauroa.

We learnt about the Maori beliefs of the 4 walls of wellbeing Taha Tinana, Taha Wairua, Taha Hinengaro, and Taha Whanau. Taha Tinana is the physical well being, this is like caring about our body by maintaining a healthy body weight, fueling our bodies and many more. Taha Wairua is the spiritual wellbeing this is about your values, beliefs, religon, meaning and purpose in life. Taha Hinengaro is the mental and emotional wellbeing, this is controlling our emotions, loses, our stress and more. Lastly Taha Whanau is the social wellbeing, this is your values, self esteem, self awareness, meaning and purpose in our life.

I found this interesting because I learnt about the Maori views of Hauora, the four walls of wellbeing.

Why Sleeping is Important

LI: To explain why sleep is important.

In this task we learnt the importance of sleep and how the amount of sleep affects us. Distractions such as technology or very bright rooms can trigger the brain into thinking its still day time so it will function while you are trying to sleep. We looked at both sides of the argument seeing what will happen if we have too much sleep or less sleep. The affects of oversleeping can increase the risk of headaches, diabetes, and heart diseases. Not enough sleep can cause things like depression, anxiety, having a bad attitude and many more.

I enjoyed this task because I learnt about the importance of sleep and that we shouldn’t get too much sleep or too less.

Food Tech

For cooking this week we made sweet corn fritters topped of sour cream. First we gathered our ingrediants which was sweet corn creamy style, flour, baking powder, salt and eggs. We then whipped up the egg, and put 3/4 of flour, and 1/2 tsp of baking powder into the bowl. Next we poured the sweet corn and egg into the bowl and mixed it until it was the right consistency. We poured the batter onto the pan and let it cook until it was golden brown. Lastly we stopped it off with some sour cream.

I enjoyed this task because I learnt how to make Sweet Corn Fritters.

Kingi Tuheitia & Kuini Nga Wai Hono i te Po

LI: To learn and respect the passing of Kingi Tuheitia.

Our task was to create a DLO about Kingi Tuheitia’s passing and how he brought unity whilst being the Maori King. Unity means to bring people together, an example of this may be through cultural connections, or religions. An example of  when Kingi Tuheitia united people was when he brought the Maori Tangata and the Cook Islands together. Kuini Nga Wai Hono i te Po now takes the role of the new Maori Queen and to follow his father’s footsteps.

I found this interesting because I learnt who the new Maori ruler is and the passing of Kingi Tuheitia.
