What is matariki | Matariki task 1

LI: To explain what matariki is and why we celebrate it.

For this task we had to create a DLO with our group that explain what Matariki is and what it means.  Matariki also known as the Maori new year, during this time the seven stars of Matariki come out.  For our first challenge we made a DLO explaining everything about Matariki like when the stars come out and why it is so important for the Maori culture. 

Matariki

L.I: To create a image of the Matariki cluster.

For your new Te reo challenge we created our own original drawing of the matariki cluster. We had to put them in the right places as if there where already in the sky I had to put them in the right places. I have also added a quick summary of the story of matariki.

Careers

LI: To explore a career that intrerests me

I took the career quest quiz to help me find a career that interests me. At the end the three options I chose were a Judge, Intelligence officer, and translator. This DLO shows the career I chose and the requirements that applies. To become a judge I have to get a degree and then go to law school and then work a while to become a judge. This DLO shows the requirements and  and working conditions.

Food Technoledgy

LI: To make saagwala

For Food Technology we made Sagwala, at Tamaki College with our Food Tech teacher Mrs Heka. Sagwala is a curry originating from India. We made a DLO (Digital Learning Object) showing the steps and recipe of how we made the Sagwala. We wrote the recipe, methods, and even showed pictures of each step we were doing. Making this was really fun, and at the end it was worth it because of how amazingly delicious it was. 

Divison

LI: To use the strategy of  long division.

For this task we learnt how to do long division. We had to learn each step of long division.After we learnt about long division we had to make a DLO to show people how to do long division. We had an example and instruction of how to do long division. I completed this task with Liletina and Heavenly

Periscopes

LI: To explain how periscopes work

Mr Johnston came and taught us what periscopes are,how they are used and who uses them. We found out that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection that means if the light hits that mirror at a 45°  degrees it reflects the light at a  45°  degree angle. It was fun to experiment using mirrors to reflect and prisms that bends the light and and makes a rainbow.

Light Facts

LI: To share 5 facts about light that we find interesting.

We worked collaboratively to create a DLO that shows facts about light. One fact that interests me is that light takes 8 minute for light to travel to earth from the suns surface becuase it is interesting to know how long it takes for the fastest thing that we know of takes to travel from the sun and then down to earth.
