History Of Manga

 L.I: To read for meaning and understanding.

Our challenge today was to complete a reading comprehension about the history of Manga to show that we are reading for meaning and understanding. Our final challenge in this activity was to create a DLO to share the information we found out.

A fact I found interesting was that Manga in Japanese simply means comic and that Manga is drawn and written by a Mangaka.

Manga Artist | Akira Toriyama

 L.I: To read for meaning and understanding.

Our challenge today was to use our smart searching skills to create a DLO in our own words that tell us about the life of our favourite Manga artist or a well known Manga artist.

A fact I found interesting about Akira Toriyama was that he was inspired by the Disney movies during his childhood and Akira Toriyama first Manga was called Dr. Slump.

Hauora

 L.I: To make diagram of Hauora.

This week we created a poster about Hauora. In the poster we wrote the different meanings of each wall for example: Taha Wairua is your spiritual well being. Taha Wairua explores your relationship... 

Having the four walls standing would make an person and athletes feel motivated, happy and would have a balanced mindset which basically means a positive mindset.

Hauora & Olympians

Having all the four walls up help the hard working Athlete have a balance mindset and a healthy, strong body. Mistakes athletes made would help them push harder and instead of being in a stressed situation. If the four walls were all standing they would feel motivated, proud, confident and happy. If the four walls feel they would feel terrible, dissapointed, upset and have no motivation. 

 L.I: To summarise a text

Fantastic fish use their gills to breathe underwater. They have three different fins to help them swim. These are the dorsal, pectoral and tail fin. 

__________________________________________________________________________________

For reading with Mrs Linda we read fantastic fish. It’s about different unique fish. Fiish have three different fins. They are the dorsal fin which keeps the fish from rolling over, the tail fin which pushes the fish forward and the pectoral fish which helps the fish steer. 

Some interesting facts we found were that fish have three different types of fins. Mudskippers can live out of the water and a manta ray has a wingspan about 7 metres across. 

We found this activity fun and interesting because we found out the different uses of the fins and there are some fish that don’t look like fish for example the seahorse and the mudskipper. This was an enjoyable activity.

Science Project

 L.I: To learn about the different taste buds.

This week for science we researched and learned about the four different taste buds which is: sweet, sour, bitter and salty. After that we finally started the experiment and we tasted each bottle of liquid. Then we recored the information. 

After my investigation, I found out that the tongue has many nerves that help detect and transmit taste signals to the brain. Also not everyone has the same taste buds.

I enjoyed this experiment but I didn't enjoy some of the liquids because it tasted disgusting.
