Sustainability Reflection!

This term during hurumanu 1, we have been focusing on sustainability This hurumanu has combined the subjects Social studies and mathematics to create our topic Sustainability! We started off watching videos that explain the massive problems that are occurring around the world. Some of the topics that the videos covered were climate change and the COVID19 pandemic. Week two we moved onto the mathematics side of the hurumanu and looked at the statistical inquiry. One of the activities during this section was using the dragonistics data cards to create graphs that displayed the data from the cards. Week three we went back to social studies topics and studied more in-depth about sustainability. Week four we learn about sustainability even further and how to correctly structure an essay. Week five we looked at paragraph and sentence structure to record the information we had researched on sustainability issues. Week six and onwards we switched back to mathematics and focused on Area, population, and calculation, For this all of our activities were on Mathletics. After completing all of our tasks on Mathletics we gathered all the skills we had learned to design our dream house/Bedroom/Property. Our designs were created on the 3D designing system, Tinkercad.

During this hurumanu, we went in-depth about what sustainability was and some of the issues that are destroying our planet. This has a big influence on us to stop ignoring the cry of the planet and wake up to challenges that we must face for the better. During this topic, I learned about issues that I didn't even realize existed. But not only that, the effects that our everyday activities have on not just the environment but people as well. One thing I would have changed is I would have focused more on the mathematics work as I felt like the main star of the show was Social studies.
