Jerusalem Blogger's Are Getting Busy Blogging This Term - Watch This Space!

Term three learning

 In term three our theme was Utopia (although a couple of children chose Dystopia).  The children had to create their own perfect world.  Here is the slideshow they worked from:

Here are some of the amazing creations that Jerusalem learners came up with:

Here is a link to Emma's advertisement.  This is Kinae's law and order work.

Term two - lockdown and back to school

 During term two, we chose our own topic to look into.  This made sure that the children were engaged and interested in their learning.   Here are some of the amazing creative pieces of learning that these children have done.

Noah S had some incredible research about Greek Mythology

 

 Kinae worked on her science experiment:  

 Leevy learnt some sign language:  

 Meesha create an awesome model of a Maori Pa:  

 Syrhys made a pick a path story:

The Popcorn challenge...

We had a popcorn challenge in our class. 
 This was our activity:

Design brief: Create a new exciting flavour of popcorn and suitable packaging for our class movie afternoon. The packaging must look good and be easy to access. The popcorn needs to be crisp (not soggy) and delicious! Important: the flavour of your group’s popcorn must take into account the things that certain members of your team cannot eat.


Stage 1:  Planning for practice:  This is where you plan what you need and what you intend to do.  It is important to make sure you read the design brief to make sure that your ideas will create an outcome that meets the brief.


 Stage 2: Brief development: This is where you create your new flavour - I think you will need to try things, test things, taste things, and change things before you come out with an outcome that fits the design brief. You will also need to try to develop your packaging and test it to make sure it holds the popcorn and is easy to get the popcorn out of. 

 Stage 3: Outcome development and evaluation: This is where you have other people (stakeholders) try your product and then you all evaluate to see if it meets the design brief - is it fit for purpose? We had a planning day, a practice day and a competition day, and then we finished with an evaluation afternoon. 

 Everyone worked really well together and we create some amazing popcorn. Here are four of our groups:

transformations and tessellation in maths

In class we are learning all about Transformation.  We have had a challenge to creating a logo to represent ourselves.  We then need to use it to make some transformations.  Here is Heidi's logo challenge:


Here is Syrhys's Challenge:


We are learning about polygons and using them to create tessellations.  We looked at the artwork of Escher and then we had to create our own tessellation using either a parallelogram or an octagon as the base shape.

Here is Bayley's tessellation:



Here is Liam's:
