Special Olympics Advertising

Walt: Create an avertisement persuading people to go to the Special Olympics here in Palmerston North. I used MS Publisher to create this poster. To make my poster stand out and grab the readers attention I made the title stand out by making it big and bold. I found making the colours bold difficult because there weren't very many colours that were bold aginst my background. Something I enjoyed was using the laptop to create a a good advertisment. Something interesting I have found out about advertising is that it has to grab the readers attention and has to stand out before you print.

Special Olympics movie!

Walt: Follow an inquiry process and present our new learning using Movie Maker. Some thing interesting I learnt is that you can be as young as 5 to enter.

Walt:use Special Olympics vocabulary.

Last week on Friday the 13th of November we had our ST James Scool Athletics up at the Massey Track. A highlight for me was the high jump. Something I found challenging was the 400m sprint.

Hagan's Mandala

FOR HOMEWORK OUR JOB WAS TO CREATE OUR OWN MANDALA.
THIS MANDALA HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH SOCIAL JUSTICE WEEK!!!
THE MANDALA IS CONSIDERED A MEANS OF HEALING. THE CIRCLE EXPRESSES ONENESS WITH ALL OTHER HUMAN BEINGS. WITHOUT A BEGINNING OR END THE CIRCLE EXPRESSES ETERNITY. THE DESIGN RADIATES FROM THE CENTRE. WHEN YOU ARE CENTRED ON GOD, YOU BECOME PART OF THE ONE SOLUTION. MAKING A MANDALA HELPS RESTORE YOU TO CENTREDNESS IN GOD AND HEALING OF IND AND HEART.

WALT: Follow an inquiry process.This term as we have been learning about China, we have continued building on the inquiry skills we learnt in Term 2. We brainstorm open questions as a class and then delegated these out to pairs. The part of China Jacob FB and I were finding out more about was Animals & Plants. We found our information by triangulating the information. We used a data chart to make sure our information was correct. We then used Movie Maker to present our information. Something I enjoyed was the filming. An interesting fact I found was that the Giant Panda loves Bamboo. My next learning step inquiry is to be more organised.

Walt: Recognise how St James lived a life following jesus and spreading the good news.

Our School is named after St James because the man who built our school was called James.

WALT:present the information I have learnt during my inquiry simply and clearly so that others can gain the most inportant information.

This voicethread explains what I have leart during my inquiry on the shortfin eel.Something I did really well during this inquiry process was useing skimming and scanning to find key words to summerizethe main ideas because it makes it alot easier.Next time I do an inquiry something I could improve on is adding more coulor and images to my movie box because it will make it stand out even more.The part I liked best about doing an inquiry was makeing my movie box because it was fun and it better than just prsenting it on plain white A4 paper!

walt: Use Blabberize to share information on our inquiry learning.

I used Blabberize to make this video.The information I used is what I found out so far during my inquiry on the shortfin eel.An interesting fact I have found out about the shortfin eel that it can climb 20 meter water falls!!!!!!!
