LI: To create an infographic that tells others about the migration of the Kuaka
Something interesting I found out about the Kuaka was that unlike normal birds they don’t rest in water or eat in sea. From this DLO I can see what the Kuaka is that its unlike normal sea birds.
LI: To use Google My Maps to show the migratory flight path of the Kuaka.
For this task we had to map the migration of the Kuaka bird/the Bar Tailed Godwit. We calculated the distance and each place where the Kuaka bird would rest and keep going on the journey. There are different places they eat, breed and do other things.
In reading we had a challenge to create a dot to dot connection about the kuaka bird, we were tasked to map out 7 words that connect to the Kuaka bird, we connected 2 words together for every word, we made a sentence about how its related to the kuaka bird linking to 2 words that we choose to link together, the ones highlighted yellow are the ones we did last week and the green ones are the ones we did recently.
Today we were challenged to make a collage about when we walked down the tamaki river and we stopped many times for photo’s and we went to the Pnt England Reserve to eat, play sport and do other things with friends and with other people, before the walk our teacher asked a question to us and asked what we think he saw when samuel marsden saw when he arived to New zealand, it was a nice and fit walk to do and we saw some wonderful people walking past, our teachers took a lot of photo’s like group photo’s and photo’s while we were walking, when we arived back to school we did a activity and asking someone that’s pretending to be Samuel Marsden and we asked them questions about what they think Samuel Marsden saw because they were acting as him.
Our challenge today was to co-construct ways we can make the most of our learning time in LS2. We thought about what we expected to happen so we could make the most of our learning time then thought about what our teachers expected. I collaborated with Vaingalo, Vili and Easton. This activity was interesting because I learnt how in LS2 we have high excpectations.
LI: To use the information in the diary extract to create an image of what we think Samuel Marsden saw when he sailed down the Tamaki awa.
We used Adobe Express to create what we think Samuel Marsden saw when he came down the Tamaki river. We included farms, Wakas and a village uptop the mountain because that’s what we envisioned about when Samuel Marsden saw when he came to Aotearoa. We learnt how smart AI is and how powerful AI is todate.
LI: To use our smart searching skills
Our Year 7/8 camp was at Kokako Lodge in Hunua. Our challenge today was to use our smart searching skills to find out about the kokako bird and create an infographic to share the facts we researched in our own words. Something I found interesting about the Kokako bird was that the North Island Kokako is an Endangered specie and it is endemic to the North Island on NZ.
LI: To identify and understand how descriptive language is used to create a clear picture of a setting in a text.
This is the image I created with Adobe express, I found that creating this was difficult because it was always creating completely different things or it would’ve changed nothing at all and just gave it worst graphics, it was fun because I learnt how AI reacts to certain prompts you task it with and to learn how clever AI is currently.
LI: To write a poem that describes a moment in time
At camp we had lots of challenge activities to try. Our challenge in with our poem was to chose our words carefully so that we painted a clear picture of what we were describing in the mind of our readers. Roman, Fern and I have described what it was like to the high beam, We chose this challenge because it was one of our favorite activities and we all liked the idea of doing the high beam.
LI: To understand what Kauri dieback is and how it spreads.
This week we were challenged to make a DLO about facts about the Kauri dieback facts about its disease and that why its important to people and mauri people and how it dies from the dieback disease and how it even catches the dieback infection from the roots and how it spreads
