In LS2 we made Dioramas about moments in time, I did Balloonfest 86 since this caught my attention on how balloonfest was setup and the different images I could’ve used, we used different types of heights to make it look 3d. The materials were very east to use and I enjoyed this alot!
We made a diorama and a Google video about a moment in time something happened in history, I chose to do balloonfest 86 in cleaveland in Ohio because it really caught my attention on how balloons broke a record but also how it caused a death of 2 people and were sued for millions later on.
In LS2 we were asked what would our dream be and what would be want our Job or career to be, I didn’t have much ideas but one came to mind, so I chose to be a game developer or tester of some sort on online.
If I really want to become a developer online then I would need I will need to know different skills and techs of games and will need a good setup, I will need to know how to code but I will mostly just play platforming games which are usually 2D games where you jump around platforms to avoid other obstacles. I would also try open world games which are like adventure games with a fully packed open experience to the world which lets you explore new places without extreme requirements.
If I were a developer I honestly won’t really be making games but I would like to be a tester or bug fixer of games from creators and start to recreate test servers for it and make sure hard things are possible and to write codes.
I will be doing it for around 9-12 hours a day and will be using my own room, I will start around 9am and end around 8Pm-10Pm but also I would have good pay if I was recognized as a average new new zealand game developer earns around a whopping $60,000 to $80,000 per year while experienced ones earns around $80,000 to $100,000+ per year while every hour they make around $33-$59.
In LS2 we listened to the poem about Charlotte Anne and we learnt about what life was like for women in 1870’s, so we were challenged to make a presentation about things that are different between then and now and also what is still relatable.
Women life in 2025 :
This modern day has more advanced technology and it is easier for women to get jobs, they can wear all different types of clothes. They can now learn and get education and they get more opportunities socially and they can get more jobs to earn money for their family but luckily they can wear all types of clothes in public.
Women’s life in 1870’s :
In 1870’s women had no right to vote, own property, vote, allowed to get jobs to raise money for their family and they weren’t even allowed to wear normal clothes and had to wear dresses nearly all the time, also women weren’t allowed education from school, this is all because of legal and social conditions which were making them become less independent and have less social opportunities.
What is still relatable :
The same things are that women still have ongoing struggle for equality, own body and life concern and fair recognition for their work, they are both challenging existing systems to achieve a better society.
We learnt about the Shearers strike in 1891 and the story of what happened and why they protested.
Summary
In 1891, a large group of workers known as shearers, were responsible for gathering wool from sheep, so they decided to stop working. They did this because they wanted higher paies and good working conditions and justice overall. They thought that this would help the pastoralists realise that they needed fair pay and needed better working conditions.
Perspective A
Shearers were not earning enough money so they decided to go on a strike to demand for more stuff to help them. They stopped working for more money, they started protesting against pastoralists and fighting back the shearers were attacking or reasoning with people who go past the “line” which just means people that go to work are people who cross the line.
Perspective B
The pastoralists were losing money due to paying the shearers to much money because the demand of wool went down so they decreased the shearers pay which made them want to strike against the pastoralists, so if the shearer past the line the protesters would threaten or reason with each other to join the protest against the pastoralists and threatening the pastoralists. This made the land owners bring in the police to hopefully to stop the strike.
Overall
Over all at the end of the day the Shearers would have lost money if they left their job so they just started working again but some stopped working overall since they didn’t want to be paid very little from this job and because the pastoralists wouldn’t raise the pay and they called the police so they were forced to stop, but this still shows that as a union people are still strong.
For reading we have recored oursevles reading a 2 peoms or just 1 writtien by the famous Hone tuwahre who was famous for his peoms. In this tasks we allowed to work in a pair , group or even induvially. All of these peoms we have read revoles and is about the rain. I found this task inresting and enjoyable.
For this task it was challenge for creating our own dinosaurs with paper and a partner. There were 2 versions of the model and protoype. the protoype was a test version of our dinosaur. And the model was the final vesrion of our creation. As we contrusted our dinosaurs we used a paper to write incrousts on what we did along the way.
Once we finshed the protype we would on to the model using black paper and making it better then the prototype. I found this challenge very inresting and enjoyable because worked in partners and we had made our own dinosaurs.
We were tasked from our teacher to learn about Malala Yousafzai, we watched a video of her speech and her ideals on why all females people should have the rights to educate or be educated. Sadly, she was shot in the head by the taliban on the bus when she was going to school because they thought that would stop her, but Malala was more determined then ever and fought her way through and she says in her speech even if a gun was in her hand and the Taliban was in front of her she would not shoot him. She made a lot of powerful quotes of learning for example “The pen is Mightier than the sword” and also “One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world”.
PBS had a school trip to the Auckland War Memorial Mueseum to learn more about volcanoes and the war that happened a long time ago, It happened term 3 week 4. We also did a activity when doing the volcano learning about what items we would pack in a bag if we only had 30 seconds to pack. Our group packed everything into the bag which would be handy but it would’ve made it more heavier and wouldn’t be a good choice. We also all had booklets to track all our information and whichever group had the best booklet then they got a prize on Friday. We also went to the WW1 memorial hall and we saw all of the names of the people who contributed in the war and were brave enough to protect our country with their lives. Lastly We went to the entrance and we packed up and left.
LI: to research questions about your dinosaur including their habitat, diet, predators, and protection.
We were tasked to make a Google slides about the dinosaur we got from our dinosaur eggs and research with our pair we chose.
The Triceratops is a herbivore, so its diet consists of plants for example seeds, fruits, leaves, twigs and roots, unlike normal herbivores the triceratops didn’t eat grass like modern herbivores. Did you also know that the habitat of the triceratops is inside of area’s and its fossils were found in Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, and parts of Canada, it’s habitats were in a mix of grasslands and forests.
The Triceratops is a whopping 3 in height and is 30 feet long and it wights from 6,000 kgs to 12,000 kg’s which in tons is 6 – 12 tons and that matches the african elephant weight. The Tyrannosaurus rex was the natural enemy of the Triceratops and the triceratops was one of the know dinosaurs that could kill a Tyrannosaurus rex, it relied on its bony frill and its 3 horns to be able to survive carnivorous attacks, scientist when examining the fossil of the Triceratops they found teeth makes of Tyrannosaurus rex’s carved into the bones of the Triceratops.
The way our dinosaur the triceratops protect themselves from predators was they would use there large 3 Horns as weapons to attack and defend themselves against predators and some fun facts is that Triceratops means “three horned face”, The Triceratops was found in the 1887 and that the Triceratops horns grew overtime.
