This is our summaries of all 20 chapters of the boy in the striped pajamas and narrowed the whole of each chapter into 10 sentences to describe one main part of all of the story or chapter, this makes it easier to read from the characters perspective and we also generated images to the chapters using ai.
Maths DLO’s – Group 1
In group 1 maths we’ve been putting together every single maths DLO we’ve done throughout 2026, this includes Addition, subtraction, multiplication, long and short division, rounding numbers, lowest and highest common multiples, prime and composite numbers, significant figures and cubed roots.
Cubed roots – Algorithms
We learnt about cubed roots which is when you multiply a number by its set amount 3 times, for eg: 3 cubed you have to do 3×3= 9 then 9×3 =27 making 27 the answer, you can find the cube of a number by multiplying the first number two times.
Caveman notes
We learnt about what caveman notes are and how it can effect our learning more and how it makes it easier to narrow down paragraphs into short filled notes, this helped us recently, when taking notes make sure to always use the keywords but do not write the whole fact down when taking notes and don’t include words like “the” & “and”.
Abstract nouns – Poems
We learnt all about abstract nouns which is something that describes a feeling of someone or something, this is a type of what I say a spiritual connection and is something that you can’t touch, smell or do anything with since its not a physical thing, but we made peoms to describe how it feels to have or sense and what it’d be like if it was something you could touch hold smell and other things.
Gagana Samoa – Language week
Talofa Lava, last week was Samoan language week and then we made a Google video on what some new Samoan talking kids would need to learn to ‘survive’ in a English speaking classroom. For this, we used a translator to help us and have some Samoans fact check our work so that it was ready to publish!
Moko ika hiku waru – Digital art
We did our taniwha digital art which is a eight tailed taniwha called “Moko ika hiku waru” which lives under panmure bridge. We worked in pairs or in 3’s to do this trace and we chose to make ours glow and a blue and slightly orange in other places.
Building Hope
After reading Dairy of Anne Frank and TBITSP, we talked about what people must have felt like having their whole world turning upsidedown. I cant imagine what it would feel like being striped away from humanity and your family. Yesterday we discussed how we could put their cloth of dreams back together again. This activity was inspired by the book Teaspoon of Light.
The boy in the striped pajamas – 20 chapter summary
We listened to the audio book of “The boy in the Striped pajamas” by John Boyne. After every chapter we explored the mood and atmosphere and summarised it into 10 sentences. The mood is the feel of the actual reader and what they are experiencing or feeling. The Atmosphere is the feeling or vibe of the physical location in the book, story or movie. We worked collaboratively to summarize all of the sentences. This helped us practice s/c/c sentences. Some days we used a Gem to help us summarise the prompt and other days we went without it. Something that I found interesting about these chapters is the fact how Bruno and Shmuel held onto their friendship untill the very end.
Digital Art – Panmure Basin
We recently made a tracking and Google digital art of the panmure basin after we finished our basin walk in panmure!
