Ako Hiko Student Led Toolkits

By Anonymous -
Hey there, everyone.

On the Thursday of 17th of August, I went to New Windsor School who were hosting the toolkits. The toolkits are a variety of subjects the person wanted to learn. They choose the toolkits in two sessions in a survey before the time. They must choose ONE in the two rows. They get a tag for what they chose in both sessions. We still had breaks which are Morning Tea and lunch. Some people present toolkits, telling people what the subject is and how to use it. The sessions are in a location, then in the second session it changes its original. Also in the survey you can't choose the same toolkit in both rows. My toolkits I chose to learn were... 'Stop Motion Animation' and 'Google Drawings / Google Sites'. The challenge was it was really time consuming and I couldn't really finish it. They were just files I will not need. Since I learned to make a Google Site, I could make a site of my learning, mountain inquiry. Two challenges also popped up, one for coding and the other problem solving. The coding challenge was a race to make a robot called a 'Sphero' go around cones. It is the shape you'd expect, a sphere. The problem solving is to make an at least a 10 cm tower that has cup holding a 100 grams. There was a draw, getting a prize of a Sphero, chrome-cast, tape and a round object nobody's sure about... here is a picture and video of the toolkits hostage.

Reflection : The toolkits was great fun because I can make them into my learning, especially Google Sites. In the next steps I should blog a stop motion animation and make a site for my learning.

Blog you later.

Hello. Why are you checking Karl's blog you naughty boy/girl? Oh, if you want to read Karl's blog, how about an answer to little riddle... 1.Most of the wonders and mysteries lie here. 2.I can feel the intense pressure anywhere. 3.It is a very dark, dangerous and cold place. 4.Things must depend on their own or/and other things around it. 5.It is an extensive place. 6. Lots of things that are impossible also lie here. JK! This week we are working on using descriptive language by sharing our writing straight onto our blog.  The challenge we have is to describe a place using only six sentences. After reading the description you need to guess the place that has been described. It would really help if you say what clues helped you come to this conclusion. Also, did you answer my riddle? Hmmm?

Persuasive writing

Hey! Read this because it will have all you wished for! Just kidding, but over couple of weeks we have been working for a pink beanbag (The best you will ever have). We had to use persuasive writing to convince people to buy it (We are not selling for real.). Then we used Google Drawing to advertise the "most amazing beanbag". Here is mine.

Maths Strand Creation Project

Hey there, to you visiting my blog. On Thursday, which was yesterday, my school was creating a model only with toothpicks and Plasticine / Modelling clay. The ground material was cardboard. This task was a maths project, making a model of a tent. What we had to do was stick toothpicks with Plasticine to make a tent and also make sure it's stable. There were some challenges, especially when it came to cubes. But the fun factor was when pyramids made it stable. When I was doing that task I learnt a lot because one thing I learned is that it is difficult to put toothpicks inside Plasticine with a rather small volume, while on the other hand Plasticine big in size would shake the toothpicks which have a smaller density than the Plasticine. The shapes that I made were cubes and pyramids with bases square and triangular shaped. Plasticine was my problem because I fastened the toothpicks with Plasticine randomly big and small. It worked better when I used even amounts of Plasticine. ...
