The History of Manga

 L.I: To read and understand the meaning

This week LS2 is learning about Anime. Anime is a Japanese comic book that introduces people to the anime they are reading about. I also like to watch movies, which is another different way to watch and read about anime. I enjoy doing this activity because i learnt different facts about anime and I also enjoyed serching about anime. Did you know that anime manga has been around for more than 100 years. We also really enjoyed defining words we didn't know about. For example we didn't know what censorship means, if you want to learn just have a look at our google doc and google draw to understand more information about manga anime

Summarising

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

I read a article that understands about someone's passion & there talent. This DLO i used to find 20 important words and made it 6 important words, after that i created a paragraph explaining the topic that im writing about. i used my searching skills to find words that help explain the topic and makes it more interesting and detailed. As example Rangi Haira Jaxon Greening, He is a male maori that has a lot of amazing artwork with customizing sneakers.

Water safety

This week we did a DLO about water safety for swimming. 

First we did 2 brochure DLO. The first DLO was about swimming pool safety. We write facts, We write a paragraph about keeping your children save from swimming Then The seacond DLO was about water safety in the beach. For examples Clean up the rubbish from the ocean.

Mindfulness

LI: to understand the definition of mindfulness. 

Mindfulness is relaxing your body, and having a calm mindset. Mindfulness discriminates against all the negative emotions going throughout your mind. This makes us more engaged in our learning and the things we are doing.  

Today we had a session in LS2 about mindfulness. To relax our minds and bodies we took a few minutes to breathe in and out. This helped us clear our heads and clear our thoughts. It is treated as a taonga ( with a level of respect.

Exploring Current Events

Link to Olympics games day 2 For this activty we were required to talk about the Olympics. Today i was talking about womens football. All I needed to write was, what happened, when did this happen, where did this take place, who are the people that did the activty, why did they do this, and where we can watch it. I enjoyed this activity because we learnt about the olympic games.

Tech

Background

It is important for you to understand the basics of ph before beginning this topic.

Here are some questions you may want to discuss before getting started

What is ph? it a measure of how acidic/basic water is?

How do you measure ph?The pH value can be measured using electrochemical measuring systems, litmus paper, or indicators and colorimeters.

What is the scale pH measured on?

What ph level does water have? Is water acidic basic or neutral? basic

What is the most acidic ph level?

What is the most basic ph level? The pH of a substance is a measure of how acidic or basic the substance is.

The most basic pH Level is 14

Topic 5 -Flower power

 LI: to learn how to disect a flower for tech today we learnt how to disect a flower before diseting a flower you need the tools and it is:

For tech we learned about flower. We learned about flower there were nine parts.

I learn how to insepct flower

Trust

L.I: To write an abstract noun scences poem.

Today we had a writing task with the whole classroom for Abstract Noun poems.In this activity we learnt how to understand what a metaphor is and how we use them writing.We worked in groups to collaborate this challenge and make into a powerful eye catching DLO. Something we found interesting about doing this task was that we could take our writing to another level we could use a lot of different language features it was a fun piece of writing.

Maori

LI:to learn the diffrent names in maori.

For maori today we had to find out names. We had to connect the engilsh names to the maori names.

ML Forming an Opinion

 LI: to consider both perspectives. 

To continue our learning of Matariki, and the Maori story of Creation our task was to create a DLO to explain the evidence and perspective of a maori story. We read about Sacred Spots from Māori Mythology. We used the different evidence from the articles to create an opinion on whether we think it is true or false. 

The story we chose to do was about the Tongariro National Park. This story talked about the mountains that surrounded Taupo lake, they were all male except for one. Her name was Pihanga. They fought for the love of Pihanga, only one came out victorious. That mountain was Tongariro. 

venn diagram

LI: to find as many similarities and differences as you can between the video and the text of “The Beginning”.

To continue our learning of Matariki, and the Maori story of Creation our task was to create a Venn Diagram. For our Venn Diagram we compared the differences and similarities between the Video and Written Version of the Maori Creation Story.

A Venn Diagram, is a diagram showcasing the differences and similarities between two different things.

Summary

LI: to explain in fewer words what the text is about


For our Inquiry we were learning about Matariki, and the origin story. Our task was to watch a video on the Maori Creation story and we had to summarise the video. The video was an artist representing and creating the story through sand art.


Our 20 important words had to be the top important words from the video, words that represented the story. Then from the 20 we had to pick the 6 most important words Then using those 6 words we had to sum up the story in a few sentences.

Main ideas

LI: to identify the main ideas in the text.

To continue our learning of Matariki, and the Maori story of Creation our task was to create a DLO explaining the main ideas of the story of how maui slowed the sun. We watched a video explaining the story of how maui slowed the sun and why.

Maui and the villagers weren’t able to finish off their tasks during the day because the sun went by too fast. They got sick of it so maui and his brother made a plan to slow the sun. They used flax ropes and he magical jawbone Maui was given by his grandmother.

 

Creative writing

LI: To understand how to use descriptive words to make your writing more interesting.

Our focus for writing this week was to use descriptive writing, which means using words that are powerful, making your text more exciting to read and add more detail into your writing. We were tasked to work collaboratively in pairs to complete this task. 

Our task was to describe one of the two pictures that we were given. To make this task easier we would use our prior knowledge of sentence structures, nouns, verbs, adjectives, and descriptive words to create a piece of writing that uses descriptive words to make the text exciting to read. 

I found this interesting because we learnt Descriptive writing.

Science

Today at tech we learnt about floating and sinking the teacher gave us balls like a tennis ball and   marbles 

we predicted if it would float or sink.

-Marbles - large and small size  

-Golf Ball

-Tennis ball 

-Different sized wooden block

-Different sized plastic block

-Polystyrene

these are the equipment for the experiment

The first experiment, nearly all the objects sunked. The second experiment, all the object floated. i enjoyed how we put the balls in the water and it floated and sinked and semifloated.

I enjoyed this activity because the experiments were fun.

Pulleys | Simple Machines

LI: To find the information for simple machines.

We collaborated in our group to find information about simple machines. There are 6 simple machines. They are, wheel and axle, screw, wedge, pulley, lever, and an inclined plane. Our challenge was to create labelled diagrams. Using the information and facts we found we created a 25 word summary for each simple machine. Pulleys help you to move the load or change direction of the forces.

Wedge | Simple Machines

LI: To find the information for simple machines.

We collaborated in our group to find information about simple machines. There are 6 simple machines. They are, wheel and axle, screw, wedge, pulley, lever, and an inclined plane.

Our challenge was to create labelled diagrams. Using the information and facts we found we created a 25 word summary for each simple machine. The lever consists of 3 main parts, Effort, Load and Pivot. Depending on how heavy the object is, the lever would go up (side where the lightest object is) or down (side where the heaviest object is.  

Following Classroom Rules & Expectations | PB4L

LI: To follow the rules and expectations, expected from teachers.

This weeks PB4L learning is about following classroom rules and expectations. PB4L is a acronym describing Positive Behavior for Learning. PB4L helps us understand the correct behavior for inside classroom learning and outer learning. This consist of Classroom discussions, walking to assembly, behaviour on school trips, wet day procedure eg. respecting wet day monitors. All of these prospects will help us develop a strong and healthy learning enviroment.

I found this activty intersting because we learnt how to respect teachers and each other.

Science (Tech)

LI: To try using labortory equipment

Today I went tech at tamaki college. Mrs Shama showed us what equipments were for and then we used them in a experement. We had to time how long it takes for the sugar to evolve in water.

The temputure of the cold water was 24c, The temuture for the hot water was 82c, it took 1min and 4 sec for the sugar to elvolve in the cold water, and  it took 28 sec for the sugar to elvolve in the hot water

Current Events

LI: To find the important information in a current event.

LI: To identify the author's purpose.

This week for Reading we learnt about author's purpose. Authors write for a purpose/reason. These reasons are to Persuade, Inform, Explain or Entertain (PIE).

First we looked at Kiwi Kids News to find a article. Then, we made a copy of the Current Events DLO and answered these questions:

• What is the article about?

• When the article was created?

• Where was the article was made?

• Why the author wrote the article?

• How it was made?

• Why do you think the author wanted you to learn from the article?

I found this activity interesting because i didnt know that there were still lockdowns close to New Zealand.

Technological practices

        LI: To use technological practices process to design a toy.

For Mrs Fisi’iahi’s Inquiry lesson, we were focusing on the three last technological processes. They were: build, test and evaluate. We used the required materials in order to build the AUV rover. After this, we tested and compared each group’s rover to see which group was able to scramble across the floor the furthest. Evaluating our results was the last step.

ATV Challenge | Inquiry

LI: To strengthen connections to technology. 

We have been learning about technological practice.  This week we have been learning about the 6 processes of Technological Design and how each one is important in the process of designing a product.

We are using the processes of technological practices to  design and build a rubber band- powered rover that can scramble across the floor. 

ASB Getwise

L.I: How to about saving money in fiji and booking hotels also spending money on activitysyou had a budget of $1800. we got food poisoning from a fish and chip shop we had to go to the hospital and pay $2000 but if we rolled a dice and it landed on 5 or 6 you don't have to pay if you got 1234 you have to pay the money. if you had insurance you dont have to pay the $2000. you had a choice on a hotel there were two choices the $500 hotel was spotless with a buetiful sunny view and $100 buffet the $200 was moldy.

Isaac Newton | Reading/Science

This week in Reading, LS2 has been working towards Simple Machines. Apart of this, we were required to learn about Isaac Newton. Isaac Newton is a physicist, mathematician, theologian and a Astronomer. We were also required to create a DLO with the following questions: Why is his work important? What did he find out? How does his work connect to simple machines?

I found this interesting because we got to learn about sir issac newton.

Kokako Infographic

LI: To create an infographic using google draw that tells your audience facts about the kokako.

This week, everyone in LS2 has been given a set of different challenges based on our camp. For this activity we used our smart searching skills to find information about the North Island Kokako bird.

I found this activty fun becuase we got to learn facts about the kokako bird.

5 Minutes of camp

LI: To recount a 5 minute snapshot of one experience you had at camp

Putting my foot on the first rung of the ladder my heart started beating faster and my mind was playing tricks on me thinking that I was already up on the highest point.  My legs were shaking, then I heard my group supporting me so I took a deep breath and climbed the height of the ladder feeling scared I was going to fall and I had so far to climb ahead of me. 

As I climbed the staples I started shaking again, I looked up and down as I put my right foot on the staple and my left hand on the other I pushed myself.  when I got to the beam I hugged the pole I Looked down as it was very high I told the instructor I wanted to get down. She told me to take three steps out. I was shaking and my heart was beating. 

I felt like crying I was flustered I pushed of the pole and took two steps out the instructor said a couple more as I took one more I told the instructor let me down katlyn told me to turn to her I turned with fear she told me to crouch I i slowly crouched kaitlyn said to straighten my legs and slowly lean back pushing myself off the beam. I was relieved as my feet hit the ground. I was proud of myself for even going to the top. Everybody was cheering for me as I got down.

Last week we went to camp at Kokako Lodge. My 5 minute snapshot shows my personal voice and I have tried hard to paint a picture with my words to describe what I was doing and how I felt.

I found this activity was fun because I was able to reflect on what I did at camp.

Camp Collage

 L.I: To create a collage of your camp highlights

This week LS2 have been celebrating our camp. I created this collage to show my time at camp and the activities I enjoyed. To make my collage effective I thought about the size of the images, the angle of the images and I tried hard not to leave any gaps between the photos. I found this activity very fun to make because I got to show everyone some of the things I got to do at camp.

Cyber smart | Tidy your google drive

 LI: to clean and tidy your google drive. 

This week we have been given another cyber smart activity from Manaiakalani. This week, the activity given was to sort out our google drive. When sorting out your google drive you need to make sure it is named and in the right folder. First we made a copy of the activity DLO. We first sorted out where each DLO go in the folders, this was for the activity. Once sorting each out we then took a screenshot of our clean and tidy google drive and popped it in the activity DLO, *DLO above*. 

This was a fun activity and gave me the chance to sort out my messy google drive.
