We learnt recently about the Tree Octopus, The Tree Octopus was a false creature made to check or test our research skills and as a digital exercise in literacy online, we were told to use a specific site that tells us about this fiction animal like why its extinct, how it moves through trees, its name and much more about this creature.

We recently learnt about Mood, Atmosphere and different types of characters. We learnt this while reading the story “Boy in the striped pajamas” which is a story about the German strike on the Jews. Shortened, Mood is the feeling of the reader when something happens, the Atmosphere is the feeling of the physical location in the book. The protagonist is the main character in the story who have to avoid obstacles and evolve and learn lessons from the antagonist who is the one opposing the protagonist and is doing almost anything intentionally or unintentionally to stop the protagonist from carrying on. Round characters are characters with more emotions and more active and act like people more than others, and finally flat characters are characters who have low screen time and don’t act that much and only have 1 episode or chapter where they effect the story in a way.

We were challenged by our teachers to see if we could create a Mood-O-Meter which is our way of checking the mood of 1 or 2 certain characters throughout the story or a chapter. We’ve used this for the story called “The boy in the striped pajamas” which we’ve finished reading and has 20 chapters. In this “Mood-O-Meter” we tried to guess what the main character Bruno could’ve felt throughout the story from the top being Elated meaning super excited and happy and the bottom is to being hopeless or insanely sad.

This week we’ve been trying to make our Learning Journey which shows what we’ve been leaning throughout the year! This was also create for our student conference which is where our parents, mums dads come to see what we’ve been learning in class and to discuss what we’ve been learning about and about our class status. We had to add the links to the blogs of different subjects, these subjects are writing, maths reading and then do a 4th of whatever subject we liked from this year which I decided to trace my school photo and add my Christchurch Mural to the background!

We created a letter to the character Ah Sum from the story Bok Choy which is a boyt who got bullied throughout his entire life untill he helps a Boy called “Jacob” from a river, to understand the story more you could go online and read it since it is a really interesting story.

We’ve recently been reading the book about “The boy in the striped pajamas” and we needed to define Contrast. Contrast Is a a artistic art tech used to highlight the differences between two people or places. In The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, contrast is shown a lot through the lives of Bruno and Shmuel. While Bruno mostly lives a life of freedom and safety and a near complete with a loving family, endless food, and a maid 24/7. He still is curious about where in is. But on the other side, Shmuel is trapped behind the barbed wire of “Out-With”, a Nazi concentration camp where Jews are stripped away from their humanity, starve and there to suffer. The contrast is that Bruno’s biggest struggle is boredom in a life of privilege, while Shmuel’s lifeis a battle for survival in a place of total loss.

In LS2 we used our past ai refining skills to generate images resembling the first slide image of a leopard posed laying on a branch looking out. Me & My partner used different effects and styles to generate a image of the leopard. We had to describe the (SDS) subject, description and style. For example, this is one of my prompts to get a better understanding of our task.

Example : A leopard is resting peacefully on a tree branch in the jungle. The picture has a style that makes it look like it was painted with watercolors, giving it a soft, flowing, and artistic look similar to water based art. The overall scene combines the calmness of the animal with a watercolor painting effect that makes the image feel gentle and artistic.

This week, Group 1 got to make a DLO to explain how to work with significant figures in numbers on the DLO. Significant figures are the important digits in a number that show its precision. The resource helps you understand how to keep track of these digits when solving math problems.

The idea is that sometimes you need to show all the significant figures in a number, whether it has one, two, three, four, or five. Doing this makes it easier to work with the number correctly. For example, if you have the number 886,652, and you want to round it to different significant figures:

To have only 1 significant figure, you look at the first digit and round the number to the nearest hundred thousand, so it becomes 900,000. To have 2 significant figures, you keep the first two digits, which are 88, and then round, making it 890,000. To have 3 significant figures, keep 888, and the number becomes 887,000.

One interesting fact I learnt was that if I shows these steps clearly, it is making it easier for students to understand how to identify and work with significant figures. Whilst also understanding how to do this is useful because it helps make measurements and calculations more accurate and consistent, especially in math.
