Week 2 blog post (LTP)

Last weeks blog post I talked about LTP. This week I’m talking about what

happened in LTP time. So Monday 27 of July was the first time I EVER GOT TO

DO LTP!!! I’ve never actually done LTP because the year I went into nui

syndicate they made that wai gets LTP EVERY DAY!!! Now there's LTP IN NUI

SYNDICATE because there are 3 syndicates now wai, nui and moana but that

all changes.

So of course I went makey makey but everyone had to line up at the classroom

they wanted to go to, and what every classroom you go to is a class you stay at

for the rest week for LTP. All my friends went to makey makey so I went with

Tay,Wolfe & Bay. Tay got the Makey Makey and I went and got my

chromebook. I made Tay into a human drum by tapping his hand is made

bongo noise, then a pacman Controller to play pacman but then Wolfe wanted

a turn but apparently he's allergic to Play-Doh, because we used Play-

Doh to make the controller. After awhile Bay and Wolfe turned Bays gumboot

into a gumboot power controller for snake.

After a while some others needed some help so we helped them out.  Then we

go told that it was time to pack up LTP to get ready for home time because it

was at the end of the day. So we packed up the makey makey and gave it to

the teacher but then we had to put the Play-Doh. When everything was packed

up we went back to our class room for the end of the day.

T3 Week 1 (PBL)

For this week I want to talk about a new learning style, Learning through Play.

Learning through play is LTP which is what the little kids get to do EVERY DAY!!! But because of this we get it to but ONLY ON ONE DAY which is annoying. So the their my introduction.

On Tuesday 21 of July we got to see what LTP activity we could, these are the 4 activities we could do planet construction, makey makey, monkey junction and cardboard nation. We first started at monkey junction, so what's monkey junction all about well I going to tell you so it's when you get old toys and take

them apart and rebuild them into new things. Once that was done we moved on to makey makey but I already had seen the video because I had seen it at discovery. So it's about conducting electricity by taping thing just will alligator clips which make sound or you can make a controller.

The next one we moved to was planet construction. Planet construction is about constructing amazing buildings and doing challenges with lego and other pieces. The last one we went to is cardboard nation. Cardboard nation is about when you use cardboard to make things out of cardboard but you have to

measure it first try because they don’t so much cardboard. So then we went to all 4 of the LTP groups we went into class and and packed up for the end of the day.

Friday Discovery Makey Makey Part 2

This week for Discovery, I did Makey Makey again, but for this week I did something incredible. So at first I was told that it was being run by another teacher, but what I didn’t know is that it was in the classroom she ran, so when I found out I raced down to Room 1. I got my chromebook, Makey Makey, a BANANA and then I needed to find a buddy. For this week there was a lot of little kids so I had to buddy up with a little kid, but I can’t remember her name.

This week I was very happy because I had a BANANA, so we did what we

needed to do to get the banana making a sound. I taught my buddy the basics

on what I did, when I was learning how to do this. We got tin foil and pencils to

make a piano.  Then we plugged one alligator clip at the bottom of the pencil

and the other clip at the top.  It made a piano SOUND!! 

Then I realised that I knew how to make a tin foil drum.  So I took one alligator

clip off the pencil and clipped it into the tin foil.   Then tapped it with the pencil

and it worked, it made a bongo drum sound!  I got the banana, then clipped one

alligator clip at the bottom and one at the top, and I held one alligator clip.  We

tapped the banana, and it worked!! I made a bongo drum noise. 

We got some playdough, because my buddy wanted to try it out.  So, we

clipped one  alligator clip into the playdough and held one clip.  And this made a

bongo sound too!  Then we made a mini band by tapping together the banana

and the playdough, making drum noises. But then the bell rang and we had to

pack up.
