AI Movie Earths Structure

LI: To understand the how time move

 

For inquiry, we were challenged to use our smart searching skills to research day and night, creating an AI video to show the process. We watched 2 videos that explained the Earth’s rotation and revolution, day and time. One full rotation of the Earth is one day, the part facing the light is a day and the part in shadow is night. We used Hailuo AI to create our video that shows the earth rotating that is transferring from day to night by creating our own prompt. We enjoyed doing this activity because we get to use our skills to create a video by AI and get to know how time moves.

3 types of ways they measured without a time

LI: To explore how our ancestors measured time

 

For inquiry, we learned about ancient telling time (hourglass, sundial, clepsydra). We used our smart searching skills to research and create a DLO that tells us about ancient timekeeping devices. We were challenged to get into groups of 3, and to find out what our device will be. An hourglass was used in ancient times, some people call it sand time or sandglass. Sundial was created in Ancient Egypt around 15000 BC, people use this to connect to natural time or to teach them about the Earth’s rotation. Clepsydra is an ancient water clock that measures time. We watched a video that tells us the brief history of keeping time. We enjoyed doing this activity because we get to learn and understand the history of ancient times.

 

Waltzing Matilda 25 Word Summary

LI: To Making Sense of Unfamiliar Text

For Reading we have been learning about “Waltzing Matilda” and how a Swagman stole a jumbuck which came from Austraila. We answered the questions on the document in our own words, and read the poem. Something I found interesting was when at the end of each line it always says “You’ll come a Watlzing Matilda with me”. We were challenged to create a summary that is exactly 25 words that talks about the peom or song from the Waltzing Matilda. Me and my group used Gemini to create a picture of a time line of where swagman started to the end that is related to what Barjon Paterson wrote. We enjoyed doing this activity because we get to understand the meaning behind his story.

Shearer’s Strike from 1891

LI : To understand the story within the poem

For Reading we have been learning about “Shearers strike of 1891” and we were challenged by our teachers into putting this text into perspectives ( perspectives is two different opinions and our own opinion with different sides of their story and what they think) between the Shearers and the Pastoralist, The Shearers fought for their right because the prices for the wool had dropped, they persuaded other Shearers ( Shearers are people who cut the wool off the sheep) to stop working because they felt it was unfair that they were not getting paid fairly, basically they protested with the pastoralist to give a better pay and work conditions. But  the Pastoralist ( Farmers/ Landowners ) dropped the pay for the shearers because they had dropped the prices of the wool so they wanted to get more sales. They thought it made more sense to drop the pay of the workers because they needed to get more sales than they already had. They also thought it was the  right thing to do and so they tried to include the police and the government to agree with their perspective. In our opinion we agree with both perspectives because the Shearers they work hard and are not earning a lot of money to pay bills and money to pay for food to feed themselves and their children. The Pastoralists are also right because they need to drop the price of the wool because they are not getting enough sales from how expensive the wool is. I found this interesting because we got to learn about the different sides of perspectives and how my group collaborated and all participated in this activity.

Dinosaur egg AI

For this task we have been learning about dinosaurs, We got to create our own egg made out of flour, salt and water that created a form of clay. Later on we created an egg made out of clay and added our dinosaur inside. We mixed up all the eggs and cracked them open to see what dinosaur you have, after opening the egg we researched what protection, diet, predator and habitat our dinosaur has.I found this activity interesting because did you know that the ankylosaurus dinosaur uses its tail for defense against other predators.

Moodboard – Child coming home in the rain from the store

LI: To understand poetry can transform everyday life into something meaningful. Poets use various techniques to make this happen, creating specific feelings and moods for the reader.

For Reading we were challenged to create a moodboard refering to the book we read which was ” Child coming home in the rain from the store”. But before we created this DLO we had to read about the story, after reading the story we were challenged to create a DLO, I researched about Rain moodboards for inspiration, then I searched up photos that I look like it refers to the story of ” Child coming home in the rain from the store” then I gathered all the photos and put all on a DLO. I found this task fun because I learnt about the story of ” Child coming home in the rain from the store”.

Procedural writting

For this task we were challenged to create a dinosaur made out of  black paper,scissors, gluestick, paper and a ruler. during this task we had to write our instructions while creating our practice dinosaur which we used Red paper so we knew which one was our practice and our model, after creating our practice dinosaur and we wrote our Instructions we were challenged to create a model dinosaur out of black paper using the instructions we wrote to create our red dinosaur. I enjoyed this task because we learnt how to create a dinosaur only using black/red paper, scissors, gluestick,  paper and a ruler without any instructions, we used our brains to create and write our instructions and our model ( dinosaur ).

Increase and Decrease using percentages – Grp 1B


For Maths group 1B has been learning how to Increase and Decrease numbers (Percentages), To Increase numbers you have to Multiply the top numbers by each other one would have a percentage next to it if you are learning how to Increase and Decrease  percentages, and after multiplying you divide it by 100.Then you add the number that has a percentage beside it, to the number you divided by 100. And that is how you Increase percentages. To Decrease numbers and percentages you have Multiply the top numbers by each other one would have a percentage next to it Just like how you did with Increase but the last part you always minus never add. Something we found interesting was that Increasing is almost the same as decreasing but instead you are just subtracting not adding.

For reading we have been learning about Malala Yousafzai an her braveness towards her learning and education, she was a tenacious young soul who never backed down even when facing a gun to her head, that belonged to the Taliban. Malala Yousafzai did’nt let that put her down even making a big speech to all the world leaders in the united nation, she fought for peace, social justice, and gender equality. We made a poster on one of her famous quotes that she said to the nations, and we chose ” Empower others with the weapon of knowledge,” because it brought a sense of empowerement and was a inspirational quote. Something I found interesting was she got shot on the left side of her head and never gave up.
