Letter to Grandma

LI: To vary our sentence lengths to create pace impact

For this writing this week My partner and I was cchalenged to  use our reading text The Boy In The Striped Pajamas and write a letter from Bruno to his grandmother we were also challenged to write this letter with the vocabulary back in 1942., We have used a lot of simple sentences and compound sentence to help us with with challenge.

I enjoyed this challenge because we made some mistakes and we had to go back and check to see if it made sense, and we also made sure that it looked like a 10 year old wrote it to his own grandmother. Our favourite part of this challenge was that we could use FANBOYS, because it helped us write these sentences with more detail. I also loved that part when we could describe what the new house in Out -With was like.

Last week PBS had their Summer Learning Journey celebration assembly. Mrs Grant came and presented our certificates and prizes. My certificate is for participation.

Leaders and Culture

LI: To collaborate to create a piece of art

For this task LS2 drew leaders back in the day, our leader is Jonah Lomu this task was about collaborating and learn to work with people you didn’t really know – you might need to talk about being a leader, listening, sharing ideas and compromising. Something I learnt from this was to collaborate with more people.

 

Treaty of waitangi

I have used my imagination to think how this event took place (the singing of the treaty), adding speech bubbles and thought bubbles to respersent what I thought the People (Maori/British) that attended this event though and said.  Take a look at the speech and thought bubbles to see what I have imagine how this event took place.

(Speach Bubles, respersent what is being said, Thought Bubbles respersent what they are thinking).

The Kia Ora Lady

For this task (reading), our main focus was about this lady is named Dame Naida Glavish.  We learnt that shes was a lady that change the world. How?, she worked as a telephone operator and she answered to callers using her cultural greeting “Kia Ora”.  Her managers told her to stop but Dame did Dmae and kept on saying Kia ora, why? because she believed that the Maori Language was the official Language of New Zealand and people need to know, because of this she had caught the attention of the Prime Minster at the time.

Somthing I found interesting was that Dame Naida Glavish Lead by example and leaded people due to Her culture/others and the land.

What is social influence?

LI: How to identify the difference between positive and negative social influence

For Inquiry this week we have discussed as a class, what is “social Influence” and understand how to identify the difference between positive and negative social influence.

We also dug deeper into “Normative Influence” which means doing things to fit in and “Informational Influence”, is the things we do because we think others know more than us.

Something we found interesting was that social influence can really have a big affect on people.

Johnny Pohe and the great Escape 1943

  • LI: To understand how historical context and identity (being the first Māori pilot) influenced an individual’s choices and service.

This week in Reading we learned about Johnny Pohe and the Great Escape in 1943. We read about two different opinions on whether the escape was brave or too risky. I had to think about which opinion I agreed with and explain my reasons. I also learned how the prisoners worked together and secretly dug tunnels to try and escape. This helped me understand the courage and determination they had. It also helped me practise sharing my opinion and using ideas from the text to support it.

What is a prompt?

Our task was to make a DLO about how to refine prompts for AI,one of the main things you can not do is ask the Ai that your’re usign to write you somthing so you can cope and paste it into your work that is just being lazy the best way to use AI is, if the words that the AI gives you is to hard to understand you can change the words to eg: I am a 10-year-old sutuent that wants to know about the text Jonhnny Pohe and the great escape  so the words could be understand able.
