Section outline


  • Waiho i te toipoto, kaua i te toiroa.

    Let us keep close together not far apart.

    Kia ora. Did you know about Larry Tesler?  I didn't and I use his amazing invention ALL THE TIME (in fact, I used it when putting the whakatauki above). What a guy!  This week we are going to continue our work on invention and innovation - you should be well underway with your visual glossary (specialised subject dictionary),   I am going to ask you to watch a short video and take notes on some of the specific vocabulary he uses.  Are these terms in your visual glossary already?  Add any that are not with meaning and supporting images.  We will see if we can all agree on three characteristics of inventions and three characteristics of innovations and use these as our class definitions for the rest of this unit.


    We will have a google meet at 11 a.m. on Monday to discuss this weeks work. Please check your emails for the invitation on Monday.
