WALT:Create an advertisement persuading people to go to the Special Olympics here in Palmerstion North. I used MS Publisher to create this poster. To make my poster stand out and grab the readers attention I put lots of colours in my poster and Special Olympics pictures plus lots of backgrounds. I found making the poster challenging because it was hard to be a SUPER Achiever when making the poster because I had to use perseverance. Something I enjoyed was making a poster of the Special Olympics because it was fun and a challenge plus I havent made a poster before on Publisher. Something interesting I learnt about advertising was that it has to stand out and make the reader want to go to the Special Olympics.

Special Olympics video

Walt:Follow an inquiry process and present out inquiry learning about the Special Olympics using MS movie maker. Before making this movie, I looked over the feedback I received last term for my movie about china. Some of the things I took into consideration and tried to improve on when making this movie where use lots of excitement in my vocie and make it flow more. Something interesting I have learnt about the Special Olympics during this inquiry is that the Special Olympics are held every 4 years. A challenge I found in this inquiry was timeing every thing so we dident need to do the parts again. I overcame this challenge by getting organised.

Chinese Celebrations

WALT:Follow an inquiry process.

This term as we have been learning about China we have continued building on the inquiry skills we learnt in Term 2. We brainstormed open questions as a class and then delegated these out to pairs. The part of China Luke Matt and I were finding out more about was Chinese celebrations. We found our information in books and on the internet.We used a data chart to make sure we triangulated all our information so we knew it was true. We then used Movie Maker to present our inquiry.Something I enjoyed was using the cameras to make the movie.An interesng fact I found out was there are alot of Chinese celebrations.next learning step is to work faster.

This is my name in chinese and i got it from chinese tools .com

Last week Cindys dad came to share with us all about China.He gave us moon cakes because we could try some food that china eats.An because its nice to try new food.An interesting fact I learnt was That China has lots more things then us and its much biggrer.I really enjoyed the part when we had the moon cakes because it was nice to try new foods.

How are Cultures and Traditions Expressed through dance

During Week 1 we had a variety of learning experiences to tune us into ideas about our new big question for this term -how are cultures and traditions expressed through dance? We had a performance from the Boys High pacifica group,a St peters pacifica group and a drumming workshop. I enjoyed drumming workshop the most because i like using the drums. Something new I learnt was how to play the drums in the drummig workshop.

WALT: Present the info I have learnt during my inquiry simply and clearly so that others can gain the most important information from my presentation.

This voicethread explains what I have learnt during my inquiry on the short tailed bat somthing I think I did really well during this inquiry process was skimming scanning key words to summarise the main ideas. Because I wrote it in my own words. Next time I do an inquiry somthing I could inprove on is write open questions to help me find interesting and useful new information. Because I can find more useful information. The part I liked best about doing an inquiry was making the map and doing the things on it because it was fun and exciting.

The short tailed bat

\walt:Use blabberise to share information on our inquiry learning.

I used blabberise to make this video. The information i used is what i have found out so far during my inquiry on the short tailed bat. An interesting fact i have
