we needed to complete this activity and it was for  our computers and we needed to see what keys and what we are suppose to do with our computers and we have to do shortcuts.

Hydration

 LI: To understand why staying hydrated is important for our health and learning.

After defining hydration and dehydration we worked collaboratively to use our smart searching skills to help us find facts that would teach others why it is important for our health and learning. One fact I learnt about staying hydrated and dehydrated is that when your dehydrated your lungs get dried up but when you drink water it makes your lungs go back to normal and that means your hydrated. Something I found interesting is that when your urine is dark that means you haven't drank enough water but when its light it means you've drank loads of water which is good.

Leadership

  LI: to show our understanding of what leadership is.

This week for writing LS2 worked in groups of 5 - 6 people to find the definition of leadership. First we brainstormed all the examples linked to leadership onto a piece of paper. Second we used that brainstorm to give us a basic idea of what leadership is. Then we wrote down all the important words linked to leadership, we then used those words to create a summary. After that we created a DLO about our summary and the process of making it.

LS2's Favourite Colours

 LI: to plan and carry out a statistical investigation.

We went around our class, LS2 we went around finding data about LS2’s favourite colour. Our prediction was that we thought purple was going to be the most popular colour following by blue. Then We found out that more people liked blue following by purple. I picked the colour purple and my partner did too. We notice that more people like blue than other colours, we went around the classroom and found out that there were 5 people that liked the colour blue. Our Next we found out that purple had 3 people the liked the colour, green also had the same amount as purple. We noticed that 1 person liked black and pink.

Summary of Tiriti O Waitangi

 LI: To explain in fewer words what the text is about.

Our class reading task was to learn about the events of Te Tiri O Waitangi. Each group read an article to understand what Te Tiriti o Waitangi is about and the different events that took place during Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We completed two reading comprehension tasks to learn more about Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

After reading the Te Tiriti o Waitangi article, our reading group rolled a question dice (which decides whether we will ask a why, what, who, when, where or how question). Our group wrote four questions in total. The questions we asked were ‘Why didn’t the Pakeha stay honest to the treaty?’, ‘Who was at fault for the conflict between the Maori and the Pakeha?’, ‘What gave the Maori the courage to speak up and stand for their rights?’ and ‘Where in NZ did Pakeha take most of the land from the Maori?’.

Once we thought of and wrote down the questions on a piece of paper, we moved on to writing a summary using keywords from the Te Tiriti o Waitangi article. First of all, our group skimmed through the article to find 20 important keywords. Then, we eliminated some keywords and choose the 6 most important words from the first 20 words. Using those 6 words, we created a paragraph summary that included information about all of the events that happened in Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

Our summary included information about the signing of the treaty and what the treaty declared. It also included details about how the Pakeha betrayed the Maori and started a conflict between the two parties.

I enjoyed Reading about Tiriti O Waitangi because it was fun reading about Tiriti O Waitangi.
