Life Ed Visit

LI: Learning about our Hauora and our brain This week we went to Life Education in groups. I was in group 1 which is the volleyball team. The first session was about our Hauora and our brain. First we watched videos about a boy named Kapi who was getting bullied by a group of kids. There was an up stander in the group who stood up and apologised to Kapi. The next day he got lazy and wouldn't clean his room, or even have a shower. Next we learnt about the brain and the brain cells. We are all born with 100 billion brain cells and you think 7,000 thoughts a day. That was what we learnt for the first session. The next session we learnt about how bad drugs are to our brains. We also sent a letter to Kapi about how he can help build his Hauora again.


Science | Summary

LI: To explain in fewer words what the text is about


This week for our reading topic (science), we created a summary using the information from our post it notes. In our summary, we skimmed and scanned to find the important keywords. We also shared our ideas and collaborated to create our summary. For our next activity, we used a question dice to help us create three interesting questions that we wanted to research. We all worked together in these activities.


The three most interesting questions are:


  • When was science discovered? 

  • Why is science important?

  • How is science different from the past to today?
