Nugget Point Lighthouse

This week one of the things that I needed to do with my group was research and then create a DLO on a lighthouse from New Zealand, the lighthouse that we were given was the Nugget point lighthouse, which is located in Otago. The lighthouse is 148 years old. 

History of M&Ms

M&M's is a popular chocolate all around the world and is sold in most countries. This week we have been looking at the history of M&M's with Mr Johnson (substitute teach - aka principal). We have discovered a lot of information such as; Every single M&M are sold to more than 4 million people are manufactured in the United States. It is said that the owner off M&M's who's name is Mars got the idea from soldiers who were eating a lenti-shaped chocolate during the Spanish civil war. Researching about M&M's was also part of math task since we talked about the ratio for the colors of the m&m's that is found in a packet. People had different results but the numbers that were common were 52, 53, 54, 55, and 56. We were all surprised because we though that every m&m packet had the same amount of m&m's and and there were equal amount of colors. This helped me learn something new I didn't know about.

The Inchcape Rock

This week we have relives because our original teachers have gone to Chicago. Our teachers are Mr Johnston Mrs Howell. This week we look at a old fashion poetry called The Inchcape rock, there are 17 verse's but you could only chose 1 then you make a DLO about the verse you chose.

Maths strategy - Division

Today for maths Josh and I created a DLO about using our 10 times table to solve division equations. This DLO shows you how we solve division problems. Using 10 times table to solve my division makes it easier for me to solve. I have enjoyed learning a new strategy. 

Colloquialisms / Slang DLO

 During reading today our group learnt about Colloquialisms and Slang. By creating this DLO we were able to make a stronger connection about these two language we have learnt about. We have worked together by talking about our understandings together as a group.
