LI: To celebrate our success

Last week PBS had their Summer Learning Journey celebration assembly. Mrs Grant came and presented our certificates and prizes. My certificate is for participation. The SLJ was a fun activity to do because when people didn´t have anything to do the summer learning journey was all ways there. My favourite activity was the Mosha activity because we got to Customize a prosthetic leg for an elephant who lost her leg.we got to put any design on the leg and my was based on a sunrise where all her animal friends was walking beside her.

Last week LS2 and LS1 went to tech at Tamaki College  for my group we did moari class and we were starting on makeing desing on these boards,and your desing had a back story and mine is about the solomon iland flag which represents my grandpas cualture .

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.

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).

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.

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.

For our first day at tech we were spilt into 4 groups consisting of years eights and and year sevens, each group had their own subjects, 8A had textiles (sewing), 8B had Te Reo Moari, 7A had Robotics and 7B had Wood Work.

I am in group 8B and I was doing Te Reo Maroi we learnt the diffrent meaning on what parts of the marai.

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.

Mrs Anderson read us the book ‘First Flight’ by June Crebbin. We talked about the narrators point of view and used a Gemini Gem to prompt us to think more deeply about what the story might look like when told in the first person.

“As the sun dipped below the hills, the breeze began to shake the trees. Tonight, I was finally getting prepared for my very first flight with Mum, even though my legs were swaying just as much as the branches.” I am still excited for my flight. I can see all my owl friends zooming in the sky. Well, birds peek at the tree beside me as it sounds like a clock ticking.

My heart beat racing as fast as a car.As the wind passed by like a grave stone on top of my body. “Suddenly, the wind pushed me, and my heavy wings wouldn’t open!” as I’m falling i began to panic as my wings would not spread then my Mum came and caught Me as I almost hit the ground. And flew me back to the tree where I tried to fly again and as I prepared for my second try.

I took deep breaths and my heart beat began to cool down as if I was drinking a nice refreshing drink. And then I jumped and my wings spread like if I was going for a big hug. The world looks so beautiful I can see everything. The trees move with the wind as a nice cool breeze hits my face. I knew that I could fly. I found out that if I believed in myself I could do it. I couldn’t have done this without my mother’s help and all I had to do was just be brave.
