CIP- Meal budgeting challenge.

Who?
I was in a group with: Chloe, Roxy, Zac Ty and Taylor.

What?
This was a meal challenge so we had to come up with a meal we wanted to make ours was homemade subways, then we had to go onto the countdown or expansive site and figure out what we needed. We had a budget of $12 so we had to figure out how to get what we needed/wanted for our subs. we ended up spending 75 cents over our budget but thanks to our wonderful teach Whaea Raewyn she covered that for us.

Where?
We went to paknsave to buy our ingrediants even though we budgeted at countdown it eneded up being ok.

When?
Last wednesday is when we went shopping for our ingrediants and we did it in the morning.

Why?
To learn how to budget and we also did it to get better at cooking and working in groups.

How?
We had 3 teachers with us... Whaea raewyn, Mr Mitchell and Mark who helps the teachers out and does other important stuff. They walked us through kyle park and down to the mall then we separated into our groups and got what we needed then met at the checkouts to purchase our goods..

In my opinion this was really fun getting to budget and plan a meal even cooking it was fun.

There is no 'I' In team- First week in P.E

What makes a good team player? I think in order to be a good team player you need to listen to others ideas and try other peoples strategy's. I think to be a good team player you need to take turns sharing ideas.
What skills and attributes do you need to display? 
You need to be able to listen and try other peoples ideas/ strategy's because its not fair on others to only do what you want.

What is my role within my team?
My role is to be an officer.

What does my role involve?
Help organise the team and help get everyone sorted for the game.

How could I be a better team player?
By letting others have more of a say in what our team does and make sure everyone has something to do.

1.  I want to get fitter by doing the sports the best I can.
2. I want to learn how to work in a team well i can do this by listening to others not just talking over them.
3. I also want to learn how to communicate better by listening and answering with helpful feedback.

1. Keep an eye out for soemone who isn't involved in the activity.

Reading DLO

This week we have been working on a book which is not too bad. I like it so far but its not too easy or hard to read which is good. I think its the kind of book that will get better as we read more but so far I think its good.

DMIC Maths

This week in DMIC math we have been doing problems that involve using a graph so we learned how to use one.

 We had a problem about 2 peoples medicine so when and how much they need of it. On one side of the graph we put the time on one side and on the other we put the amounts so in this case it was milliliters (ml).
Then we had to put down either on every line a 10ml difference or more so we started off with a 10 ml difference then we learnt that the numbers didn't have enough space to go high enough so we made it 20 mls and in the hours it went every 3 hours so 3,6,9 etc. 
But if your hours don't need to be that short like you only needed it for every 12 hours you could just do it every 12 or 10 hours on the graph its one of those things you can customize to what you need.

DMIC math is fun but depending on the problem it can be really easy or really hard it doesn't really vary in the middle. But all in all I do like doing it.

Digital Tech

What do I think Digital tech will be about?
I think this will be about learning how to use different digital apps and technology.

What do I already know?
I know how to use most of my Chromebook apps. But to  be honest I don't know much else.

What do I want to learn?
I want to learn how to use more apps and setting on devices so I could use them for my learning.

In the dark spaces- Reading Tasks- Rating

Rating

Out of 10 I would give this book a 6 out of 10.  Made a number line as part of this task so I could show were on the scale it was. 

Reason 

The reason for this rating is because i'm still struggling to understand what is really happening in the book or what its about. Another reason for this is the stuff that I do understand just doesn't appeal to me I wouldn't choose to read this again but I don't hate the book. 

Comparing
Compared to other texts I've read I like this more than some less than others. I do however like reading this more than reading school journals because they are just too easy.

Conclusion

In conclusion I don't really mind this book but I don't love it either. I would how ever recommend it to someone who loves mystery I haven't read the whole thing yet so i'm still hopeful it will get better.

Hurumanu- Mars.

Mars

How to get to Mars

Aim: To learn about Mars exploration.

1. Rover facts 
2. Design, Draw and Make a Rover
3. Mars facts

1. Rover facts: 

What are the 5 parts for? 
Link: Rovers 5 parts

Fill in the table below.

Name:	Purpose:
Wheels	The Mars 2020 rover has six wheels, each with its own individual motor. The two front and two rear wheels also have individual steering motors. This steering capability allows the vehicle to turn in place, a full 360 degrees. The four-wheel steering also allows the rover to swerve and curve, making arcing turns.
Solar Panel	The rover requires power to operate. Without power, it cannot move, use its science instruments, or communicate with Earth. The main source of power for each rover comes from a multi-panel solar array. They look almost like "wings," but their purpose is to provide energy, not fly.
Laser	The target, which will be viewed by InSight's cameras, provides a variety of colors and shapes to help calibrate the lander's cameras. It also shows off international flags representing the agencies, institutions and participating scientists of the mission as of late 2014 (since that time, Italy has contributed an experiment). In the second row are the United States flag and the logos of NASA, the French space agency CNES, which provided InSight's seismometer; and the German Aerospace Center DLR, which provided InSight's heat flow probe.
Camera	The rover has several cameras focused on engineering and science tasks. Some help us land on Mars, while others serve as our “eyes” on the surface to drive around. We use others to do scientific observations and aid in the collection of samples.
Shovel, rock pick,drill	The Mars 2020 mission will gather samples from Martian rocks and soil using its drill. The rover will then store the sample cores in tubes on the Martian surface. This entire process is called "sample caching". Mars 2020 will be the first mission to demonstrate this on Mars. It could potentially pave the way for future missions that could collect the samples and return them to Earth for intensive laboratory analysis.

 ( Take a photo and upload  your mars rover onto your blog.)

3. Mars Facts
Link: Facts

You will need to find out the following:

Fact	Earth	Mars
Picture of planet
Length of 1 year	365 days	687 days
Length of 1 day	24 hours	0.28101218 years
Distance from the sun	149.6 million km	227.9 million km
Distance from Earth.	It is earth so nothing.	225 million km
Gravity:	9.807 m/s²	3.711 m/s²
Colour:	green, blue and white	red and orange
Temperature	-88 to 57 C	195 degrees
Rainfall	990 millimetres	It doesn't rain
Atmosphere	nitrogen (78%),    oxygen (21%) 2	carbon dioxide (95.3%). 600 pascals (0.087 psi; 6.0 mbar)
Surface	144.8 million km²	510.1 million km²
Moons and names	Moon	Phobos Deimos

Conclusion: 

I learnt That mars has more moons than earth whereas I thought that every planet had the same moon as us.  I also found out that it doesn't rain in mars! The thing that surprised me the most was that a day is 0.28101218 and there is 687 days in a year.
