Making our own boardgames - Gaming unit (T1,W10)

Over the past couple weeks we planned and made our own boardgames.

Some of us made our own game up from our mind, and some of used the ideas from other games like Monopoly and changed some part of it.

Here are some photos of us making our games..

Here are our finished gameboards!

Using screencastify!

Today we downloaded a Chrome extension called Screencastify. 

This app lets us record our screens and ourselves. 

We can't do this without the app.

We will use it a lot to collect evidence of our learning.

Check out some students first attempt!

Sharing our learning - AMETI (T1,W8 Friday)

Today we shared our learning by presenting as a whole class in syndicate assembly. 

Everyone participated by saying something, and/or sharing something they had created. 

Watch our presentation here!
(click here to read the script if you can't hear it!)

We also wanted to share some of the videos we made however the projected wasn't working so we couldn't. So here are the links to our previous learning so you can check it out!

Monday 

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday (CREATE tasks are here!)

We are hoping to present at whole school assembly next week as well. As AMETI will affect our whole community, we think it is important that we teach as many people about it as possible. 

Knowledge is power!

CREATE tasks - AMETI (Thursday, W8, T1)

Today we created something to represent the ideas we have been learning about.

Here are some students create tasks.

Falakika @ Tamaki Primary School: AMETI Create: Today in room 7 I drew a sketchnote about AMETI to show some of the changes.

Hiria @ Tamaki Primary School: AMETI create: i made a poster to show about AMETI

Stanley T @ Tamaki Primary School: AMETI

Summarising key information - AMETI (Wednesday, W8, T1)

Today we spent time looking at the resources in depth - looking for key facts and summarising the main ideas.

For example..

Edith @ Tamaki Primary School: AMETI summarie

Viliami @ Tamaki Primary School: Viliami AMETI summaries: WALT summarise the main ideas in a text I read the text called ….. AMETI PROJECT WILL EFFECT US ALL Here is the URL for this text..htt...

Amon @ Tamaki Primary School: Amon AMETI Summaries

Lopiseni @ Tamaki Primary School: WALT summarise the main ideas of a text

Next, we used some toy trains to make a model of the Panmure roundabout.

The purpose of this was to explain visually how the traffic flow will be effected.

We made Panmure roundabout then showed how all the streets come off of it.

This is looking at Lagoon Drive.

We talked about how when the roundabout is taken away and replaced with traffic lights, other roads are also affected. For example, cars can't exit Jellicoe Road to the intersection anymore - only to Queens Road. But cars from the intersection can enter Jellicoe road.. Confusing right?

Next we showed how Queens Road would be effected. As cars can't exit Jellicoe Road onto the roundabout/intersection, they need to go through Queens road to get to the roundabout/intersection. 

Hence, there will be lots of traffic going down Queens Road (see all the cars?).

Next, we made our own maps of the Panmure area and wrote what changes would happen to each of the roads.

For example..

Using Google 'My Maps' to mark out landmarks - AMETI (Tuesday, W8, T1)

Today we learnt how to use My Maps to create landmarks around Panmure. We marked some of the places we knew, like our school.

Next we marked our places that are important in the AMETI project, for example the Panmure Roundabout and the bridge over Panmure Lagoon. Like this...



Here are some of the students examples.

What is AMETI? (Monday, W8, T1)

This week we are learning about AMETI.

We started off with this picture Miss Ashley took ...

We brainstormed what we know about it - this sign is in Panmure by the Mobil station, most of our class had seen it before, its by the round about, its near Burger King, etc. 

Then Miss Ashley shared a site she had made.

We talked about what these words mean, including Googling the meaning of initiate. We talked about the difference between Auckland and Manukau, what a busway was, what we already knew about the new bus and train station in Panmure and the new weird green bus lanes by the round about. 

(Connecting to our prior knowledge!!)

Then we put our initial ideas onto an AnswerGarden.

Then we went onto the 'LEARN' part of the site and explored all the resources provided to find out more information. There were videos from AT/AMETI, NZ herald articles, blog posts, Stuff.co.nz articles and more.

Our AnswerGarden grew and grew as we added ideas that we learnt.

These ideas became more detailed as we understood the ideas more.

To support our learning, our spelling words this week are

1. Traffic
2. Congested
3. Vehicle
4. Pedestrian
5. Navigation
6. Interchange
7. Bottleneck
8. Roundabout
9. Residential
10. Commercial
11. Freight
12. Culdesac
13. Restrict
14. Access
15. Investigation
16. Geotechnical
17. Overbridge
18. Management
19. Panmure
20. Jellicoe

Learning how to skateboard!

Today for KiwiSport we learnt how to skateboard. 

We had to wear protective equipment like knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards and helmets.

Looking flash in our gears!

Lining up  'side by side'.

We had to put our foot like this, covering two dots and showing the other two dots. This means our foot is far enough forward so your other foot can fit behind it.

Skooting along with one foot.

Learning to put our other foot at the back of the board.

Skating with two feet!
