Paper Planes

Yesterday for maths we were collaboratively working with our groups given by Mrs Anderson making paper planes. This activity was a silent collaborative challenge, where Mrs Anderson didn't talk, but she did put all the instructions on a presentation which we all had to follow very carefully. I worked with Sebastian, Oh Hsen, Tai, Breeana and Calvin designing different types of paper planes. We went on YouTube videos, websites and images to make our paper planes. When we all finished our design, we went outside to trial and measure (with our feet) how far it flew. Our whole group was helping each other and having so much fun. The plane that went furtherest was Tai's and Breeana's. 

Godwits DLO

This term we have been looking at flight, the year 7's have been learning about Godwits (Kuaka in Maori). We were learning about their migration, I worked collaboratively with Calvin and Oh Hsen and improved our team work skills. When we were researching, we had to narrow our search so that we can get the information needed, and putting the keywords only. I learnt that the Godwits migrate from Auckland to Alaska non stop, but stop at the yellow sea to refuel. We also tried something new, we made a digital sketchnote where we used shapes and text boxes.
