LI: to use a abstract word to write a poem
For this task we researched a abstract word and use that word to write a sentence using the 5 senses. Olfactory, gustatory, visual, tactile, and audiorty. These 5 senses is other words for, smell, taste, see, feel, and sound. This task helped me with using powerful words and rhyming.
I enjoyed this task because this helped me with using the 5 senses and using powerful word.
LI: to write a poem, and use powerful words
For this task we wrote a poem about the time of the place or thing. Our 2 poems we wrote about is about a polar bear and Maungarei (Mountain). My favourite poem my group wrote was the polar bear poem because it was expressed with power words and shows, but doesn’t tell about the poem.
I enjoyed this task because it helped my vocabulary and testing new words. I would like to improve more into my vocabulary and to learn new ways on writing a poem.
LI: to write a sentence using long /e/ and long /a/
For this task, we drew coloums and wrote words that belonged in the long /a/ and the long /e/. After making the coloums, we wrote a silly sentence about the long /a/ and long /e/. One of our sentences from the long /e/ is: ‘The Foreign person forgot the receipt to the t-shirt from the leisure brand, but received uber eats from the ceiling and realised he was deceived.’ One thing I liked about this task is writing the sentence in a silly way. My favourite part of the sentence is: ‘but received uber eats from the ceiling and realised he was deceived.’
I enjoyed this task because this task was able to make us laugh when making the sentences.
LI: to understand the Treaty of Waitangi.
For this task we read and noted information about the Treaty of Waitangi. For this task we were in partners and had to summarise: Why is the Treaty of Waitangi Important and What is the Treaty of Waitangi? On the blue DLO we summed up the text.
I enjoyed this task because we got to learn about the text and the Treaty of Waitangi.
LI: to draw our name as a taniwha
For this task we made a Taniwha and wrote it as our name. For example: we drew a taniwha as one of our letters (my taniwha was my M). We wrote these names, so we could added it to our painting we made of ourselves. We drew a draft before we made our taniwha, so we didn’t have to think of a design.
I enjoyed this task because we put some creativty.
LI: to visualise your goals
For this task we wrote about the leaders we admire. The leaders I admire is Martin Luther King Jr and Rosa Parkes. These people are famous for their civil war. Martin Luther King Jr is a person whos race was black, but other people didn’t like him because he had a different race as them, so he made a protest to let people with a different skin colour to have freedom. Rosa Parks sat on a white people only bus and sat there.
LI: to read the text, gather, sort, graph, and analyse the data.
LI: to understand the meaning of Mode, Median, Mean
For our task we made a statistical investigation about our blog posts over the years. (Year 7 was 2021 – 2023 and Year 8 was 2020 – 2023.) We went on our old blogs and counted each blog post we did in each month. For example: in March 2021 I blog 11 posts. Other way of learning statistical investigation is learning the meaning of: Mean, Median, and Mode:
The Meaning of Mean is: the total of the group of numbers.
The Meaning of Mode is: seeing the most appeared number in the group of numbers. For example: if there is 11, 12, 13, 15, 12, 11, the most appearing number is 12 because it apppear 3 times in the group.
The Meaning of Median is: finding the middle number in the group, but first putting it from smallest to largest and then finding the middle number.
I enjoyed this task because I learnt how to make a bar graph for my investigation. My favourite part in the statistical investigation is looking at my old blogs and comparing it to my recent blogs.
LI: to understand Cybersmart Vocab
For this activity I worked on a word search about cybersmart vocab. The hardest word in the word search is Kawa of Care because Kawa of Care was hard to see due to the other words blocking the other letters. In the next activity we group the Cybersmart vocab to the meaning of the vocab. For example: Kawa of Care – An agreement between schools, families, and students. That helps everyone understand how to use and look after their devices propley.
I enjoyed this task because this task had one of my favourite activities, word search in this task.
LI: to be Cybersmart around chromebooks.
The whole reason that the Kawa of Care exists, and your school and your whānau work together so that you can use a chromebook is for your learning. For the kawa of care quest, I answered questions about the kawa of care and I got them all right. (Thank you Mr Goodwin for sharing this quest)
I enjoyed this task because I thought that this quiz is a fun activity to learn about kawa of care.
LI: to write and say our pepeha
To help us get to know each other, we have written our pepehas. This allows us to make connection and form friendships.
I found this activity fun because we got to get into groups and say it out to each other and form friendships.
