Financial Literacy

Today some students from LS2 learnt about Financial Literacy ( Money Learning). Today learning intention was - To understand profit equals income minus expenditure. The first thing we needed to do was make a recording sheet in our maths books. We needed to gather some items 2 dice one number 1-6 and a dice that was plain so that we could use a dice to write J,J,H,H,B,B we then gather 2 different colored dices.I was playing with Angela and we were adding up our balances at the end we found that Angela made the most money but had a big amount so that meant that she overdraft she didn't make a profit. l made 121 dollars and taking away 70 dollars for rent l ended up with 60 dollars.

Summaries the text/Protest

This week in reading, Waiheke group read a book about some of New Zealand's most historical protests. This book was called "Stand Up - A History of Protest in New Zealand".  During reciprocal reading, we made a list of vocabulary, questions, and predictions. The task was to complete a literacy weaving from everyone making their own strip and using two words each from the book. I chose Protest Signs and The Depression Riots. Our summary above made up of two example protests in the book, shows how the people protested and why. What is protesting? It is expressing your opinion of a cause using signs, banners, flags, marches, and etc

Literacy Weaving

This week Waiheke group were practicing Reciprocal Reading to unpack the text that we read. After doing this we got to pick two words from the book. We then used the Literacy weaving template to add our words and pictures. We put the words in the 3rd and 5th boxes and we put our pictures that were related to the words in the 1st and 7th boxes. We didn't put anything in the X part because that was saved to put the other Literacy weaving on top. After doing this we had a learning conversation to discuss the words we picked and meaning.

A man by the name of Robert Catesby declared to kill the king he gathered 13 men along with Guy fawkes. They used gunpowder to try and kill the king. Today we still celebrate guy fawkes by lighting fireworks and more. in order to remember what happed

Tech at Tamaki Collage

Today was another session of tech. Our tech teacher was Mr Grundy. For tech most of us continued to use the backsaw to cut a piece off the wood. Today I managed to use the chisel and sandpaper for the 2 pieces of my wood. Some people were using the benchook, mallet and chisel to cut a piece off their piece off the wood. As usual we added our names to the board for help from Mr Grundy. Next week I will continue chiseling out my second piece. I am trying to make a piano for my mum as last time I made a clock with Mrs Ferguson for my dad.

A want or need enterprise

This week for inquiry we did a research on enterprise and define what a want or need is about and added examples to it. I worked with Angela, Taheesha & I. We first needed to define what a want or a need was all about. After researching about it we added the definition to it and put 2 examples about a want or a need. On the other slides we had questions which were, how do we know or find out what other people want or need?, What is enterprise/an entrepreneur? that was the questions that we did for our DLO that needed to be answer. Our DLO is just based on enterprise and a want or a need. A need is when you need water, food, shelter, which are the most important things that could make a human being alive. A want is when I get older and I want to become a doctor or and artist since I enjoy art and helping people when I can. Sometimes something you want might not come true, and a need is something you really need in your life.
