Visual arts inquiry learning story

Elkanah's Visual Arts Inquiry Learning Story Term 3 2019 How do we communicate our ideas and opinions about an issue through visual arts?    1 . presentation      2. First I picked my issue which was racism because I needed to pick something that I felt strongly about. Then I looked for different platforms for me to use because I needed to find one that would help me to share my idea. I learned that racism is still going on today and that there are still people hating on cloured people. I should have listened more because I did not get much work done.   Inquiry Success Criteria: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14vnNsLsttQFDNn40TKYhVdCLj8w_cwdLWXxmK9UsL-0/edit I want you to know that I was good asking questions  because when I asked questions I got more work done. I was also good at doing my best  because I was stuck but I kept on going The key competency I used well was managing self because I managed...

kanah’s Reading Learning Story Term 3 2019 “How do we  make meaning from our library book?”    Two hostile tribes:one thriving the other starving  The hard bargain they strike to survive leads into war and changes their fate forever.  When I choose a library book I always read the blurb so I know what the book is based on. I like reading books about war, and history.         My book is called Arohanui              It is a legend about the heart of Aotearoa  It’s purpose is to tell people about the pure heart of maori. I located information so I found out that many many years ago people told this story to their young. I inferred so I worked out that the reader wanted us to know there is a heart for everything because in the story it says not only do we have hearts but the whole world has one. I evaluated so I think that thi...

She is going to make 26 litres of otai.  50% of the otai is coconut milk.  If each box of coconut milk is 1.45 litres, how many boxes of coconut milk will she need?  So first we read the problem so we know what's happening. So we now that a box of coconut milk is 1.5 litres and the otai has  50% of the coconut milk  so we need to find out how many boxes of coconut milk she needs.  So I  did 1.45+1.45=2.90 but then I kinda changed my mind and I thought that we could half the 1 from the 1.45 and then we have 50% and there is 50%.45 left in the box so I think they need about 4  boxes of coconut milk if they are making 26 litres       .;l I want you to know that I am good at ...

cccc Kanah's Writing Learning Story Term 3 2019 “How do we  create a moment in time so our audience feels like they are there with us?” My Moment in Time Title: Tongan Performance As I am in the changing rooms my heart is beating like never before! I am sweating hard as if it is raining. I could hear the crowd celebrating their children who were on the stage by yelling and shouting. Walking towards the doors made me feel like I was getting closer to a rumbling volcano. As the Tongan parents were yelling and clapping hard out. As I am walking around everyone, my body filled up with goosebumps. As the other group jumped off the stage my heart bumped even stronger. I am walking on stage, everyone clapped and cheered. I started to calm down as I was singing because everyone went quiet. I stopped singing and everyone clapped and cheered. When I heard someone call out my name I felt so calm, I felt like they loved me. As I went backstage I felt proud to be a part of the ...

on Friday we did science. we use a microscope to look at all the things we found. I found this leaf and put it real close to the microscope. my favourite thing about that day was when we got bugs to use. I wondered if the white stuff on it was furr or it just grows with the leaf. I am sharing this with you because I want you guys to see what we did and to see if you know if the wondering that I have said.

My Powtoon

My Powtoon This is a video that will show you everything I did last term for Year Six EOTC Week. I am sharing this with you guys because there are so many different apps that I use to write. Also, this is the first time I have used powtoon and I've had success with how to work with it. The key competencies I used were thinking because I had a lot of ideas for the powtoon I made. Also, I used relating to others because there were some people that didn't know how powtoon worked so I helped them. My next steps are to put more detail in powtoons because the first one I did was kind of simple. And also asking others for help because I had some troubles knowing how to put music on my background. I did it by myself instead of asking and it took a long time.
