Astria – Countdown to Impact

A teacher in another school has recently blogged that:

“Students don’t learn much playing this game called Astria – Countdown to Impact: Their time could be better spent doing other things".

I partly agree and I partly disagree. I partly agree because other kids can use their time doing other things like practicing their reading skills and their vocabulary just like that new word right there "Schematic" that's a word that I just learned today. I partly disagree because this game helps us a lot with our vocabulary and it can make our reading skills a bit higher. This game is also about Solar systems that I don't really know about it but hey it's just my first time playing this.This is confusing I didn't really get this game so my partner did most of the work.

Teacher strike infographic

WALT: create an infographic to show our understanding 

 Yesterday we (Peleti and I) created an infographic about the teacher's strike. using the frequency excel sheet that the different groups in our class made weeks ago. collected from survey that we sent to teachers to answer. we collect all different types of answers. from a wide range of variety different perspectives.

It concludes that
-  9/10 of teachers want to encourage students should attend the strike
- 1/10 of people have no money to spend
- more than 100 teachers spend between $100-$499 on supplies

Double exposure

So 3 weeks ago my class and I did double exposure. First I took a photo of myself then we had to make the picture black and white. Next I had to put the brightness and contrast a bit darker so that the photo I'm gonna add will be over lay or lighten, so you see it through the photo. That's how you do it, The app is pixlr.

Why are New Zealand teachers striking?
