Tag: Inquiry

For inquiry we are learning about rail and trains.

First, we got into groups of four, and wrote down what we thought a stakeholer was, and who benifits from things.

Next, we researched about trains and found 10 facts. One of the facts that I found was that the tokyo bullet train can reach up to 131 MPH (miles per hour).

Lastly, we used all of the facts and put them on a google slide to show all of the different facts, and what a stakeholder is.

I enjoyed this becasue I liked to research about trains. I think I could improve on finding better facts. I think I did good at writing what a stake holder is.

Me and my group have been working on a skit for inquiry.

First, we brainstormed a bunch of different messages/morals. Some of them we’re: “Hard work pays off, “keep trying” and “you deserve someone who knows your important to loose”. We choose hard work pays off because we thought it was the best one.

Next, We came up with all of the names of characters and a problem with a solution. Our problem was that nobody tried to do work, and the solution is that the teacher inspired them, and they wanted to be sucsessful in life.

Lastly, we came up with our script. We wrote all of the things that the actors would say, and add some actions that we would do when performing the skit.

I enjoyed this task becuase I liked writing the script and comming up with all the character names. I did good at writing the script, I need to improve on nothing.

There are 4 different types of stories, myths, legends, fables and fairytales.

Myths are stories that explain how things that happen now in the world started, for example. A myth is Maui and the sun, because it explains why we have longer days.

Legends are stories that are about heros, for example. A legend is Rahi and the Patupaiarehe because Rahis wife was kidnapped, and he went on a mission to save her.

Fables are ususaly short stories that teach a moral, or a lesson, for example. The two Goats is about how a tree trunk fell down and two goats wanted to get to eachothers side, but they both didn;t want to get off, so they fought until they both fell off. This means it is better to yield than to come to misfortune out of stubbourness.

Fairytales are stories that have fantastic characters, like siren, mermaid and dragon, for example. The little mermaid is a fairy tale becuase the main character is a mermaid, and there are other mermaid characters.
