Extn Escape Room Plan

Hi, everyone !

Recently for Extension, we have been split into different groups and are creating our very own escape rooms! Some people are creating theirs on Scratch/online, while others (including my group) are going to make one in real life.

My group is with Kiarah, Angelica and Finau.

We decided to make our escape room have a scary theme, and so it’s going to be based on the horror movie Smile. We have already planned out the riddles for our escape room, and below is how we envision the final room to look like!

Today we created the keys that we will be using and are looking forward to see how the final thing will look like :))

Sleeping Lions – Statistical Inquiry

Hi, everyone!

Recently, Room 4 have been working on statistical investigations that relate to using and analysing graphs.

I worked with Mary and Lili-may on this task and we have been working on the slide show below for a few weeks now, collecting data, and then finding the average of sleep that each age group in Room 4 gets.

I hope you enjoy :))

Mitey – Hair Genes

Hi, everyone!

Today for Mitey, Room 4 focused on the similes and metaphors used in the book Mophead. We also each got a sheet of paper we wrote who we got our genetics from, from our family.

Below is an image of  my poster I made comparing my hair to chocolate pudding. I hope you like it :))

Weather Man Worries

Hello, everyone!

Today’s maths task was about learning how to identify the order of a certain set of weather descriptions. I worked with Mary, and together we found out how warm or cold it was in the different places listed in New Zealand, along with what order they come in.

I hope this makes sense and that you enjoy :))

T3W1 : HW Literacy

Hi, everyone!

For the literacy section in this week’s homework sheet, I had to write a six sentence story based on an image. The vibe that I got from it was a really gloomy one, but there was one small thing that the man in the image held that shone brightly nonetheless, and it was a few roses!

So I decided to turn that little detail into a piece of writing with a meaning behind it.

Basically, say the man in the story is you, and you feel like you’re ready to give up, but there are a few roses (which is hope and motivation, etc) which keep you going. The meaning is not only about never giving up, but that self care is not selfish, and you should never have to worry or feel guilty about taking time off to focus on yourself :))

━━━━━━━━━━

(1) As the cool breeze nibbled hastily at his bare skin and the clothes that he wore which were his only source of warmth, the man let out a sigh of exhaustion. (2) “So this is how it feels to give up?” the man asked himself in his head. (3) As the unsettling darkness began swallowing the man whole, he felt as if every positive emotion had left his body. (4) But even so, in the corner of his eyes sparkled a few glittering roses. (5) Bending over to pick them up, he realised that there was still hope and it gave him motivation to keep going. (6) He realised that although he felt drained, he could always keep going when he was ready.

Mount Wellington Drawing (Before and After)

Hello, everyone!

In the image attached below in this blog post is the final product of my before and after Mount Wellington Google Drawing! I’m really happy with the way it turned out.

As you can see, there is quite a large difference between the left and ride side of the drawing. One of the main differences being the difference between the living situations. In the “before” side, there are huts, whilst in the “after” side, there are some more modern homes.

The reason why I put a lake on the “before” side is because the Tāmaki River/Estuary would help travellers to get wherever they wanted to easily. So back then, having access to many parts of Aotearoa easily would’ve be extremely helpful.

I hope you like it :))
