Evolution of the New Zealand flag

LI: To understand the story behind our flag

Our challenge today was to create a collaborative presentation that reflects the story behind our NZ flag. We did this by looking at how our flag has changed over time.

Something I found interesting was how cool the flags looked back then, and another thing that i found interesting was that The United Tribes of New Zealand was based off in the north of the North island, one more thing that i found really interesting was how The Union Jack reflects New Zealand’s origins as a British colony.

The Disney Multilverse

LI: To write a narrative from an AI prompt

This week we got to explore Papyrus AI in Writing.  Papyrus AI is a generative AI which has to do with creating things. We used it to help us write a narrative story that incorporated two different fairy tales : Beauty and the Beast, and The Little Mermaid.  Papyrus asked us for our ideas, and gave us feedback to improve our paragraphs, until we had completed our whole narrative story. Here is my story :

The Disney Multiverse

A multiverse that used to be colourful and like a wonderland is now black and white. The characters from that multiverse were named Belle and The Beast/Adam, and they were teleported to a new multiverse where it’s colourful and offers a nice view of an ocean. There was a mermaid named Ariel and an Evil Witch named Ursula.

Ariel said she couldn’t leave the ocean because of the evil witch, so she asked Belle and The Beast for help. Understanding Ariel’s plight, Belle and The Beast knew they needed to step in. They decided to team up and began to search the multiverse, visiting different areas to hunt down the evil witch Ursula.

After a while, they finally found Ursula and began to fight. They kept losing but never gave up, so they wanted to make a plan. First, they decided that The Beast would hold Ursula from behind, and then Belle would help The Beast and try to get her to a portal to the other multiverse.

With their plan in place, it was showtime: The Beast sneaked up behind Ursula and grabbed her, then Belle came to help and together they threw her into the portal. Their successful teamwork ensured Ursula was gone for good.

After defeating Ursula, Belle, The Beast, and Ariel stood on the shore, feeling a wave of relief and happiness wash over them. The ocean sparkled under the sun, and the skies were vibrant with colour once more. The multiverse, once in black and white, was now filled with life and magic. Together, they laughed and celebrated their victory, knowing they had brought peace to their new world. From that day on, they lived happily ever after, their hearts full of joy and friendship.

Class Party Plan – Maths

For week six and seven LS1 planned a class party plan. There were six different groups and I was in group 1. We had to calculate food, drinks, snacks, and dessert for the class party and buy them based on the budget. Group 1’s budget was $600 and we ended up at $536.46 dollars and cents. We added how the party would look like and how everything is in place (e.g tables, chairs, eating place etc). After we finished our maths party work plan we presented our Maths to our class.

I enjoyed this task because it was fun to add different things and plan different things. I did well on calculating the food prices. 

 

Fake News / Cybersmart

Today the subject for cybersmart is “Fake News”.  I needed to create my own “Fake News” article, I had to choose between Phone or tablet to write my fake article.  My fake article needed to include “No reliable source. The name of the newspaper looks strange/funny, an eye-catching title, Funny content. We can tell it is a joke because of how silly and unbelievable.
