T-Shaped Literacy

In my class Te Maunga we made a T-shaped literacy called Recycling. Also in our T-shaped literacy we were focusing on four words. These are the four words recycle, refuse, reduce and reuse. First recycling  it means you recycle for example a beer bottle and then it gets sent to a recycling plant and gets made into something useful. Refuse the recycling gets thrown into the dump. For reuse you can use things you have used multiple times. For reduce you have to cut right back on what you have made.

How A Plant Grows

In my class Te Maunga we did an animation about how plants grow. We read books and explained the steps on how a plant grows. I did an animation about popcorn and the steps on how popcorn grows. It was hard  because we had to keep putting images on and duplicating the slide. In the books we had to read them to get information out of them and then put it in our own words. I learnt that popcorn grows an interesting way.

Healthy Cooking

On Friday the 25th of October we had a Junior MasterChef challenge in my class Te Maunga. My group was Sammy, Poet, Ebony and Ashlyn. My group made a salad and we used Feta cheese, Lettuce, Silverbeet, Carrots, Celery,  Avocado, Spring onions, Tomatoes and Parsley. Our dressing was honey mustard. After we made our salad we also learnt how plants grow for our reading t-shaped literacy.We had to explain how a plant grows in the 7 steps.We had four stories to read about the 7 steps on how a plant grows. Then we had to create a google slide and make an animation about the 7 steps on how a plant grows.
