This week for reading LS2 created a Moodboard about the poem Child Coming in The Rain From The Store by Hone Tuwhare and the task was really fun to make !
We first had to listen to the poem and then make a Moodboard (A Mood Board is when diffrent types of images are added onto a Google Drwaing or any other website like canva).
One thing I really enjoyed about this task was simply having fun
This week for reading for LS2 we talked about Hone Tauwhare the famous poet from Ateoroa, and we also listened to some of his poems and they were great !
So for our task for reading this week was making a google video and reading ot one of his peom and the one I picked was “Rain” and also use Adobe Exspress to use AI to create photos of the sentences and put all the photos in the google video.
One thing I liked about this task was using Adobe Exspress.
Our challenge was to work in our dinosaur research pairs create a prototype of our dinosaur’s skeleton. The challenge was to make teh skeleton of our dinosaur and record the steps we followed.
Once we had our first prototype we revised and adapted both the prototype and the instructions\We used the language features found in a procedural text to help us write clear instructions so that another pair could follow our instructions and create our prototype.
I think this activity was fun because I got to work collaborative with my fellow classmates.
For reading we learnt about how Malala Yousafzai protested for the rights of girls to educate. She was a sixteen year old girl who said a huge and powerful speech to the world on why girls should educate, she had been stopped by the Taliban by getting shot on her head, but that didn’t stop her from delivering that woman should be educated and boys and girls should be equal.
I created this poster of her quotes, and one of her quotes were “One child, one teacher, and one pen can change the world.”
This week , Group 5B made a Google presentation or a Google slideshow for Tongan Language Week . We searched up some ideas for our questions and we manged to make some questions, and these are my questions
My Favourite part about making this task is that we got the chance to make these questions into a Tongan style.
LI: To identify the key historical context and events related to the Polynesian Panthers and the Dawn Raids as depicted in the graphic novel.
We read the text Once a Panther and asked to create a comic strip that depicts a scene related to the ideas of prejudice, justice, or taking a stand in today’s world using thought bubbles or dialogue that explains the image. Something I found interesting about this challenge was that i could make some cool scenarios.
We went to the museum to finish off our topic of Volcanoes and we had Classroom challenges about Valcanoes – And the classroom challenges was really fun and we had to do this really fun activie where we had 30 seconds to decide what to pack if there was a volcanic eruption near us and we had to be in a group and had to make wise choices so they could stay safe in the event they were evacuated and the things we could pack was a backpack ,toys, can of food, hole punch, and many more. And one fact about the classroom is that they have real volcanoe rocks.
And also what we did at the Museum we went to go look around the galleries, and there was 2-3 galleries and one of them was the “World War 2” also known as “Scars on the heart” gallery and it was my favorite one and one fact i learned from there was that soldiers used something called a “Gas Mask” when there was some infected smoke.
LI: To evaluate (form an opinion) the text and respond to the provocation
We read the text RISE UP: The Story of the Dawn Raids and the Polynesian Panthers and asked to create a DLO that explores and discusses both perspectives of this historical event in our groups.
Something I found interesting about this text was that some of the group members from Polynesian Panthers went to go to the politicians house and dawn raided them in there own way and gave a taste of there own medicine to the politician.
LI: to research questions about your dinosaur including their habitat, diet, predators, and protection.
Our challenge was to create a DLO that tells others about the dinosaur we found when we excavated our dinosaur eggs. My partner and I found the skeleton of a Pachycephalosaurus.
And one fact about the Pachycephalosaurus is that they use their big head to head-butt their predator.
Something I found interesting was that the Pachycephalosaurus live in the subtropical area.
LI: To understand how scientists discover, record and learn from fossils.
Our challenge was to become a palaeontologist who uncovered a rare dinosaur egg fossil. We used Adobe Express to reimagine what a real find might look like. After a quick research challenge about habitat we used that information to create our image.
My partner and I found the skeleton of a Pachycephalosaurus.
And one fact about my dinosaur is that the Pachycephalosaurus use there big heads to head-but their predators.
This task was fun because we could use Adobe Exspress Ai.
