Presentation

We presented our presentation about our hexagonal prism shelter to P.B.S represented by Mr Wong and Mr Ogilvie.

My group presented our emergency shelter presentation. Our emergency shelter was about a hexagonal prism.When we were finished the teachers asked some questions then gave us feedback.

When all the groups were done presenting, the teachers fired the groups that were bad. At the end there were three groups remaning and all of their prensentation were good. 

My group was one of the remaing group. The teachers fired the other group and my group and the other was still remaing. The other group was fired and my group won.                                       

 My group's feedback about the shelter was: to have a good understanding of what types of storms could happen in New Zealand and using different materials for the storms. Next time we do this task I have to remember my lines and be confident. 

Writing- Filming

We filmed our narrative. The actors used the screen play to practice their lines. We also used our story boards to get the actors an idea of the film and help with their lines. 

First the actors practiced their lines so they could know what to say when filing. Then my group practice the lines without looking. 

Next we started filming. The actors practiced their lines again one more time before filming. After filming we started editing our videos and putting the scenes in the right places. 

I enjoyed filming because I was able to be in the film and able to keep a straight face while filming. I need to practice speak loud because I can't be heard.

Tamaki Makaurau Names

 This week our focus was to finish a task called Tamaki Makaurau, which is Auckland. 

We first looked at the names that were familar from the English verstion. T

Next we matched up the place names we didnt know to the other definitons using the Maori dictionary. Then we crossed them off once we had matched them, so it got easier.

I really enjoyend learning new Maori places because I did not know some of them. I need to find out where sme of these places are.

Design and Technology

 Our focus for inquiry was to create a net of our protection shelter, transfer that net onto cardboard and use those cardboard pieces to create a model of our structure.

First, our company sketched a 3D net with paper. While doing this, we thought of how to use the paper as efficiently as possible in order to save resources. We then measured the 3D net dimensions onto a bigger piece of paper. Our company decided to draw the parts of the net separately to make the process easier.

Next, we transferred the 3D net onto cardboard and cut out the separate pieces. We needed to use as least cardboard as we could so the other companies could use it. After that, we began using the cardboard pieces to create our shelter model.

We placed the cardboard walls onto the base of the shape and held it together using the popsicle sticks and hot glues to help keep a good foundation in order to keep the structure standing. We also used tape to hold the shape of the walls in place.

Our shelter was a hexagonal pyramid and we found it hard to make because it is a complex shape. Our company found it enjoyable to make and plan out the shelter.

LI: to build shelter models.                 

Last session of touch.

 This week we did a passing drill and carried on with doing three man and two man settles. 

We first did a passing drill to warm us up and get ready for a game of touch. Then our coach Mark put in two balls to make it challenging. The idea was to not bump in to each other because we were in two lines faceing each other. 

After that we played a game of touch. There were 3 teams because we had eighteen people. One team would sit and wait for their turn in the shelter. The other 2 teams will play against eachother.

I enjoyed playing because I was able to share the ball and everyone in my team touched the ball. I improve in doing two man and three man settles. I need practise passing the ball because I keep on passing the ball crooked.
