Where is PyeongChang? | By San Kyaw

I created this DLO that shows how far away PyeongChang is from Auckland. I now know that PyeongChang is in South Korea. South Korea is a country near the Thailand, which is where I come from. One fact I found really interesting is that, the first Olympics was in Chamonix, France in 1924.

Measurement Challenge by Thomas

Yesterday we started on our silent measurement activity. For this activity, we had to make groups then prototype paper plane designs individually, either getting the designs that we use from our memory or online (YouTube, Paper plane websites, etc), then test how far they can fly by throwing them from different areas such as the senior playground, the LS2 balcony, or the field, then get the good ideas from each prototype and eventually make a super plane as a group that will fly further than the other groups super planes. We have already made and tested our prototypes, and today we are moving on to the combining part of our designs, and also making our groups super plane. The hardest part for this activity is that all of our instructions were given silently, with us looking at a presentation.

Maths Task by Phoenix

On Thursday 30th May with Miss Corbett we did maths the entire day we learnt what an architect is, it is someone who draws what the plans of what a house will look like when it is built. My classroom and myself made a poster of what our classroom looks like, learning about position and scale. We then got to design our own classroom it was really fun we loved it.

This is my classroom plan I hope you enjoy it.

 

Scale Plan by Teagan

This is my architect work.

We had Miss Corbett she gave us a maths task to do. Her sister is studying to be an architect. We had to use a meter ruler to measure the desks and tables and doors. We had to scale down 150 cm to 15 cm to make it fit into our page/plan of our classroom. Then we had to rule the desks, tables and doors out on another page. We then cut it out, glued it into position on our cardboard. We had to put the desks, tables and doors where they were in the classroom. This picture above is where we want the desks, tables and doors to be in our dream classroom. I had a lot of fun and want to do it again.

Room 9's day with Miss Corbett by Asmah

Hi, today we had Miss Corbett as our teacher and she told us that her smarty pants younger sister and that she is studying to become an Architect. We had to measure all the objects in Room 9 to learn about position and then scale it down from 1.5 metres to 150 centimetres to 15 centimetres  We measured the objects length and width. Miss Corbett said that every house there is a plan, map and she told us about dimensions.
