Challenging our senses.

Every Tuesday morning we have a thing called Mahi Tahi. Just a reminder Mahi Tahi is where the three senior classes are come together and the  teachers come up with a crazy challenge, we also have a little something called the 4Cs Collaboration, Communication,Critical thinking and Creativity.

We use ice block sticks with our name and year level on it.Each class has a bag full of the students names so every group has totally random year levels and people.

Today's task was taste testing.We were split up into groups of four, two people were blind folded, one person had to taste the ingredients and describe what they were tasting to the other blind folded person, and he/she  had to guess the ingredients that the other person had tasted.

The other two people wrote down the answers.The taster became the guesser and the guesser became the taster.After we both got a turn, we swapped with the people who were writing  answers down.

We were tested by our senses and describing clearly, there were so many different ingredients but it was still great fun.

So what one of the 4Cs did we use today?
Communication,Collaboration,Critical thinking or Creativity???

🌏Playing Around With Google Earth.🌏

 A couple of days ago Tui class were learning about famous landmarks, I did the Sydney Opera house as you can see in my older posts. Mrs Cutler found an app called google earth it's similar to google maps but when you use google earth you just type a place for example you could type the capital of France and it would take you to Paris and you can explore Paris and see all types of things.

The similarity's are when you use google maps you use the little stick man in the right corner and drop it where you want to go, you do the same with google earth and some times you can explore even further.
