Summarising

LI: To explain in fewer words what the text is about. 

 Today for reading my group and I were reading about the treaty of Waitangi and we used a dice to help us create questions about the Treaty of Waitangi after that we made a summary about the treaty of waitangi. The treaty of Waitangi is a day of celebration to remember a historical day of peace; where the treaty was signed by many chiefs. Today we worked collaboratively in our groups, to summarise and learn about the history of the Treaty of Waitangi. In this activity we got to learn more about the Treaty of Waitangi and about why it was signed by many chiefs so New Zealand could be a part of the British Empire. One fact that I found interesting was how the treaty was split into 3 parts

Illustrated Story

LI:To write a pourquoi (tell me why or how) story that paints a picture in the mind of the reader.

Our challenge this week was to create a porquoi story that we would illustrate and share with our junior classes. A porquoi story tells us why something is the way it is. Our story tells why/how… This morning we shared our stories with Room 2 and Room 4, and they loved listening to them. I enjoyed doing this story because I got to work collaboratively with my friends and were very creative with our animated story.

Holiday decoration

LI: To design and make a holiday decoration that fits the client brief

For this term, The LS2 students designed and created Holiday Decorations using Hand Sewing. We started off  by asking questions to our client who was Mr Johnston.Then we created a DLO(Brainstorm) and a (Mood Board) with the information that can help us understand what we are going to make. Brainstorming the information helped us learn more about How,Why,What,Shape and Who. The Materials and equipment we used were Threads,felt,Cotton,String,Buttons,googly eyes and Paper.  We needed to make sure that our decorations were 10cm big, so we started off by getting a ruler and measuring the length and the width. For my first decoration I decided to create Hanukkah star  We used paper and a drawing pencil to help us create our first design. But firstly I needed to learn the type of sewing we’re doing. We learned three different types of hand sewing which is Blanket Stitch,Outline Stitch and a Running Stitch by learning how to use the different types of stitching we practiced onto a 10cm square(made out of felt). After practising more and more we decided to create our decoration by creating our decoration we planned about. Then after creating all the planning and understanding what we need to do we created our first design. The first design I decided to create was a I really enjoyed creating this decoration because it represented the holiday celebration we were creating, I really enjoyed working with others and working together to create the design. After completing my first design I decided to create a another one which was a fish I think I’ve improved a lot in my stitching, I think

Weighty challenge 1

 This week for maths we were learning measurments. In this subject we were talking about weight. The unit for measurement for weight are - grams, kilograms, tonnes etc. In groups we solved 3 problem challenges. For these challenges we wrote down answers in on pieces of paper. After we solved these challenges we created a DLO explaining our strategy and how we got our answer. For our strategy we used Place Value and a calculator because the numbers were too big for us to solve. In my group was Liletina, Fau, Jayden, Leroy and Diana. 

Main idea,Embarrassment

This DLO is about the Main Ideas in the book this book is called the Embarrassment poem. I worked with Makaili,Afa,Liletina and  Rj. We needed to read the book twice to find out the main details that will help others and yourself understand the main Idea.
