Technology Challenge

We have learnt about technology this term. We have learnt technology isn't just about electrical things, it is about being creative and innovative. it is about thinking of ideas to solve problems and putting that into action.

Smarties

We are the Maths Smart group. Look at what we created with all our clever thinking skills and problem solving skills...

Parent Catch Up

Kia Ora Koutou,

Well...another busy term has almost passed. I am so impressed with the effort your children have been putting in this term. They erally are very tired and will enjoy the 2 weeks break, I'm sure.

Just a heads up...
We will NOT be going to the library next Friday, so all the Mapua Library books need to be returned before the due date, which is stamped on the back inside cover of each book.

I am out of class on Tuesday next week and Anne Askin will be in for me. She has relieved for me bfore and knows the class.

We are testing this week, so please ensure your child is at school. Thanks.

Our last Smarties day for this term is on Thursday. Another successful programme to promote the amazing talents, skills and knowledge of the Middle Syndicate. I personally have loved creating a marble run with the Logic Smarties this term.

We have the opening of the Coastal Walkway on the last day of term. You are all welcome to come.

No home learning this week.

Thanks for another wonderful term.

Making gifts in Room 6.

In room 6 we are learning about Technology. One of the challenges was to make a gift for someone spacial to you. We did lots of planning and thinking. We also had to tell Whaea Aroha why we were giving this gift to this person.


Then we had to do a Decision Making Matrix to help us make our decision for what we are making. We started making our gifts on Wednesday the 15 of September but some people had to start on Thursday the 16 of September because they had to wait for the clay to arrive so they ended up helping other people with there gift.

Soon we get to give our gifts to our spacial person. It will be a huge surprise when we reveal our gift to our special person.

Technology Challenge: Design and Make a Gift.

This term fantastic Room 6 have a topic about giving gifts.
First we needed to make a list or a bubble map about who we can give gifts to.
Then we choose who to make it for why and what type of gift it is. For example, a thank you gift.
Later we had to write eight things they would like and choose the best four and write them down on a Decision Making Matrix.
The DMM had criteria for each gift and we had to rate (marking) from 1 to 3.
The one with the highest mark is the one we got to make for our special person.
Then we needed to make a design of what we were making.
Soon we get to make our gift. yyiippiiee!!!
