Dakota's wonderful winter sport blog

This year Tumu Hub have been going to winter sport there were many of sports to play like netball ,  soccer , Hockey and tackle rugby.I picked hockey because I thought that it would be good to choose a new sport to play because I have played many sports but avoided hockey so I went along to the try outs and then waited a couple days then found out that I was in the A team , I was so excited.The first winter sport game was nervous but we done really and that luck has carried on and now my team is un defeated in our actual games but in the north zones tournament we came third so we didn't quite get to centrals but we almost did because the top team go to centrals. As I have been through the season I have definitely been running loads and doing way more fitness then I used to.
This is my team.

Dakota's interesting innovation blog

This term in PBL Tumu have been learning about innovation.We want to learn about innovation because we want to have some background knowledge on how things work.

Innovation is when you find a problem in the world and you make something that will solve that problem.

There have been some struggles for this PBL because most people have already created things that we need and we don't really need any thing else but I still know that there is still something waiting to be created.

My group thought about making an alarm for noise so when the hub gets to loud the siren will go off and it will say "Tumu is to loud Tumu is to loud".

This is a video about some kids who found a problem then solved it

What problems do you know that need to be solved?

Radical reading

In reading this term our focus has been looking at articles about climate change.

I have learnt that:

We are doing so much bad things to the earth and we need to stop.

That there is a big garbage patch in the middle of the pacific ocean called the great pacific garbage it is as about the size of  Texas two times  . 

New words that I have discovered are:

Methane gas :Cow farts😂

Greenhouse gases :Bad gases that come from cars , Factories and other gases like that. 

Compost :A bin that you can put food scraps in such as banana peels and other peels like that.

This is my climate change poster:

Dakota's Razzle Dazzle PBL Reflection

PBL - Term 1

This term our Project Based Learning (PBL) has been about kindness and the big question was: How can we build community through our actions?

First, we explored some collaborative activities and discussed how we could include kindness and build a sense of community through our actions at camp. Next, we were organised into groups where we had to unpack the above question. In our groups we considered how we could spread community and kindness through our entire school community. We decided that we would offer something that was free and would make others happy.

We created an action plan and we decided that we should do a gift basket for the teachers for all the hard work they do.

Reflection:

For our final product our group made a gift basket for the staff.

We think we built a sense of community in the school by making staff feel happy and making the school a better place.

I contributed by buying some stuff and coming up with some idea that made a big difference.

I think the PBL might impact on others by making them feel like everyone cares about them and making the school a better place for the students,parents and staff.

What I learned about working with others was that we are all different in our learning ways but in a way we are all the the same

this is our action plan
