Teachers' Don't Strike - Yeah Right!

Room 6 is very passionate about the teacher strike! For the sake of the future generation, we believe that we need to support our teachers... Before they are all gone.

Our film will tell you about the current teaching situation in New Zealand, why teachers are striking and why we should support them.  Enjoy!

Teacher's Unite! - Harrison

WALT: create an infographic to show our understanding

In this task, we created an infographic about the teacher strike using the information we got from our survey. We used a variety of presentation styles e.g. pie charts, bar charts, donut charts, words, fractions, percentages etc. 

Whilst doing this task I realized that many teachers have big classrooms and also that the majority of them agreed with the strike.

I worked by myself in this task and I think I did quite well because I managed to catch up to the rest of the class really quickly. Also once I figured how to do it efficiently it became easy.

Metaphors in The Mafi Poem

WALT: Write a metaphor poem

Today I am creating a DLO based on our task in this middle block. We firstly went and had a go on Menti and started to share ideas. Then we read fantastic examples of others and began. I found this task very easy and difficult. Easy because I was describing and comparing myself. And difficult because I did have to use metaphors to describe myself. As always feel free to comment weather if I made mistakes or I could do a DLO for anyone or you. Thank you for viewing my blog 😀😀😀

The Mafi Poem !

Mafi is a perfectly presented parcel,

wrapped in a bright colourful paper

And well sealed with a funky bright ribbon on top.

Mafi is a hard working train,

she follows where the train tracks lead her.

Mafi is a pile of warm stacks of pancakes

drowning in delicious dripping golden syrup.

Mafi is a wise wishful well grown tree,

you can chop her down,

but she will eventually grow back.

Mafi is an onion,

she has many layers of emotions.

This task was about what heat was and how it can harm humans. After reading I then went and answered the questions, I got 71% so that means that I got two wrong.
