🏫 What Tamaki Means To Me & Ana? 🏫

WALT: create and brainstorm a bunch of words, I think that relates to "What Tamaki Means To Me?"

I've created a WORDLE creation with a bunch of words describing "What Tamaki Means To Me", using a bunch of words put in different, style and form! I used and got help from one of my peers (Ana). She helped to find and create this! While in the meantime I was finishing off my relevant slides related to the Ambassador Presentation! The reason why we had firstly brainstormed, and created this Wordle, was because it was related to my Inquiry Learning, I will be presenting on Wednesday the 5th of April 2017, at the Somerville School!  We came up with words that both describe what we BOTH think Tamaki means to us! For example we used some of the words...

• Special
• Family
• Friends
• Diversity

And many more words! In order for us to have to the ability to list and understand more and more, to give an appropriate answer... we began to think of describing places around Tamaki! For example our school (Tamaki Primary), we would describe our school using ALL our school values! Another example was we would think about what the Tamaki environment can give us... which is lots and lots of opportunities to grow more. After Ana and myself, finished brainstorming and deeply critically thinking about these answer we decided to put it in a sense of colourful bright, style! We used a Wordle website..

Something I enjoyed about this activity/task was having the ability to problem solve! For example when we were both stuck on describing Tamaki we decided to think outside of the box, and describe different places using a majority of different words.

A challenging task or part of this task I found was thinking about some places around Tamaki, we couldn't find words to describe! So we asked some of our peers, teachers, and school helpers if they have words to describe that one place!

➗ Dicey Games ➗

IALT: reflect on completing the Dicey game!

Yesterday, our maths group "Number Ninja's" was given a task to play in a group of 2-3 people. The game was called "Dicey Games". We had to pair up with either 2 or 3 people, per group! We would have 4 dice and with the 4 dice we would have to roll all those dice. We had to make a 3 digit number with 3 of the dice which we rolled, for example 6, 3, & 2! The number would be 632, and the last number left out you would have to multiply it by! For example if there was 1 number left, which was 3 you would have to multiply 632 by 3, which is 1896 according to my calculations. I played this game with one of my peers in the same maths group as me (Number Ninjas), which was Rosemary.

One reason why I choose to work with Rosemary, was because that I've never worked with, and because she struggles with english, because it is not her first language, I thought it could be a good nice, and new oppurtunity of me helping her with her english for Maths!

At first it was hard for the both of us to understand each other, and also understand the different strategies we used in order to solve the problem from the numbers the dice gave you. I thought working with Rosemary, would help for me to develop, and learn new things! Maybe, for example if she solved her dice numbers differently, Maybe I could use it to help me improve more on using new, faster and easier strategies of maths. Some numbers we had to multiply together were,

• 543 x 6
• 213 x 3
• 643 x 2
  
  And much, much more! We helped each other work through some problems, or maths equations we found hard to solve. At some stages we just gave up, but then we would always hit and strike back. 

I liked working with Rosemary, because she taught me how to use different strategies for different amount of numbers..

I look forward to seeing her achievement related to Maths, in the further!
