Chinese Lantern Festival

LI: To use smart searching skills to research correct information.

For this activitie we explained and told the details of the Chinese Lantern and why it’s important for the Chinese culture. We researched their traditional events and learned more about their information. For the first slide I wrote the questions for us to research about it. The question I wrote is How is Chinese Lantern Festival celebrated? The Chinese Lantern Festival is celebrated commonly with Firecrackers, Fireworks, Red clothing and dragon decorations. I liked this activitie as much I had fun learning about the Chinese Lantern Festival.

My Pepeha

LI: To write and say my pepeha.

To help us get to know each other we have written our pepehas. This allows us to make connections and form friendships. A pepeha is a way to introduce yourself in Maori. 

I found this activity amazing because I really liked to record myself saying my pepeha in Maori.  

 

Designs

This week for inquiry I had to find out what price these materials cost for my pencil case and book mark.

First, I had to put my designs into the google slides my teacher had for the whole group. Then I had to say what material I’m using for my pencil case and bookmark and what the cost of the material is for both of my designs.

Next, my partner or one of my group members would have to do feedback on my designs like what I did well at for colours and what could I have done to make it even better. My partner or one of my group members had to say this for the colours, material design and cost to make.

Lastly, I had to do this task for my school gala. I enjoyed this task.

Here is my work and my designs:

Food Safety Guide

For Inquiry we learned about Food Safety. Food Safety is important because you don’t have to worry about being sick.

First we had a choice if we wanted a partner. My partner was Valencia and I. We had to make a copy of the Food Safety Guide. 

Next I had to go to Food Safety Guide slides and do Glossary – Define these words and terms: and I had to pick 4 stuff to do the definition and I picked: Foodborne illness, Bacteria, Pesticide residue, Undercooking Overcooking Cross Contamination. This is the four tricks not to get sick: Clean your food so you don’t get germs, Separate the raw food away from the fresh food, Cook the food because if you eat raw food you might get sick and don’t over cook it and Cold Temperatures keep most harmful bacteria from multiplying.

Lastly I had to show Miss Tele’a or Miss White so I can blog about it.

I enjoyed doing the Tricks to Not Get Sick. I did well at my DLO. I need to improve on my Food Safety Guide.
