Attributing Images

 Recently Te Ngahere has been doing a Cybersmart Challenge called attributing images.  What we are supposed to do is Google an image that relates to the ngahere then press tools after you've pressed it then go to usage rights creative commons licenses then choose the image you are going to use go to the website. After that it should show the image who the author is what its called and its licence type. After all of that link the licence type to the doc and also the name of the image it should look like this.

From this I have learnt how to find the licence type off images of google.  I will use this in the future for the rest of the attributing images and other activities. What I think i did well was doing it without asking for help and just finding the image.

Do you know how to find the license type in an image?

Science Fair

 Te Ngahere has recently been doing a science fair. My project was about tape and which one was the strongest out of masking tape, insulation tape, sellotape and duct tape. out of all them insulation tape was the strongest. I learned about what a hypothesis is and what variables are and also what tape is strongest. What I found difficult was when the teacher was checking my slides and she would always make it orange and make me change something when I thought it was already done. Next time if I made a science fair project I would follow the science fair infographic steps and the booklet to be more successful. I got stuck in the pit a few times doing this so I used hoe of Kaha and got out of the pit.

Have you ever done a science fair project? 

Shrinking Paper

First day of term 3 In the morning Te Ngahere did a taskmaster. My team was Tane, Mark and Cahlay. This taskmaster was a newspaper one, what happened was there were teams of 4 and we would start of on 2 sheets of newspaper the 4 people would have to stand on the sheets of newspaper for 5 seconds and after you do that you fold the newspaper. We did it because it was the first day back so we didn't have to get straight into other work. What I think we did well was the strategies we were thinking of. What I think I could improve on more teamwork. 

Have you ever done taskmaster?

Marble Challenge

 

Last week Te Ngahere did a marble challenge. We were making ramps to roll marbles down and hoping the marble would stop at 1.10m. We had a week to make our ramps. We made a drawing of what we wanted our marble ramps to look like then we would show the teacher. If it was not good enough or didn't have good instructions (because another team would be testing our ramps out on the day) we would make modifications to make it better. We did it to use the scientific method. Sadly I wasn't there on the day. My group was Shay and Brooklyn.

Have you ever played with marbles?

The Fun Science Show

On Monday the whole of Te Ngahere went to a science Roadshow at Bay Of Islands College, we took the bus there and got dropped of at the front gates of bay college and went to the hall. When we got to the hall we all sat on the ground next to some kids from Bay College. Then they started the show about gases and chemical reactions. After the show we all got to look around at the projects some of the kids made. My favorite one was one that was like a telescope on a submarine, it was a telescope that was pointing up with a mirror inside it. We went to the road show to get ideas for the science projects Te Ngahere will be doing.

The Scientific Method

Last week Te Ngahere made an infographic about the scientific method and put steps on how to do it. We made it to teach people the scientific method. We will use this in the future for the science fair Te Ngahere will be hosting in the school whare the top six will go and compete in the Science and Technology Fair. 

 I think I did well by adding appropriate photos to match the words. I think I didn't do that much writing to add detail on what to do.

Have you ever made an infographic? 

Mosaic Art

 This week Te Ngahere have been making mosaic art using Google drawing’s. We did it to share our leaning on our chromebook’s by using QR codes on the windows for people to scan and see our mosaic art. If I ever become a artist I will do a lot of mosaic art. I did a knife first but that was to inappropriate for school so I did a batman logo instead. I think I did good by adding heaps of little part’s for the logo. I think next time a should improve my drawing by adding more detail to the batman logo.
