Inquiry into Maths 2024

How do I engage and support our less confident learners to show their understanding of word problems?

 

Team 4 Art Rotations.

Team 4 had so much fun during our Art Works Rotations. We made music beats, dances, photography and painting. In Ms Tumahai's class, we go to paint an emoji of how we were feeling at the time. 

Inquiry Action Plan

 

Fake food budget photoshop

 Task Description: today in Cybersmart we learned how to use Remove.bg to create our own photoshopped images. Here is a fake image of me drinking a coffee at the Coffee Club. 

About me in Google Draw

                              

This week, during our cyber smart lesson with Mr Goodwin,  Room 11 learnt how to use google draw. We learnt to resize images, use different shapes and fonts, and use google search to find images that relate to who we are.

   

Google Draw

 As part of our classroom cyber smart learning, Mr Goodwin taught us all how to use google draw by drawing this fishbowl using the shapes and the curser line to draw rocks and seaweed. 

Mask on Mask off

 

In a mask on World, the students are finding it difficult to hear and understand instructions.  It's becoming quite exhausting trying to breathe through the mask, give the instruction the first time only to have to repeat it. My students can't see my facial reactions, so they can't see whether or not I'm happy or sad. 

We can't sing unless we are outside and we all know our kids loved to sing. 

I'm done reminding the students over and over throughout the day  " Nose to Chin" so now I say " If your mask has slipped down passed your nose then pop it back up" and this seems to be working better. 

There are so many complications in our mask on World, but our safety is important and for the time being, we must continue to do what we know and have been told.

In a mask off World, I want to see our kids entertain us again with their singing and performing, our kids shine in this area. I can't wait for this to happen. If we are happy and safe then we are learning. In small groups. We are able to be closer to each other.
