Why It’s Important to go Sleep?

LI: to explain why sleep is so important
LI: to read the images and make inferences

For this task we learnt about why it’s important to have enough sleep. Enough sleep for your age is important because if you don’t, you will be tired and if you go school early, but went sleep at 12am at midnight, you might sleep in class and get in trouble. Many kids in the world go sleep at 12am or longer, but not knowing they have school early in the morning. Kids need to stop sleeping so late because it could effect them from going to school and not have the right education for their brain. For this task we learnt about the rate of people going sleep at the wrong time and also learnt about how much time they need for their sleep.

I enjoyed this task because I learnt how much I need for my sleep and this would help me have the right amount of sleep for school. I need to improve on working on the rate of people sleeping.

Kingi Tūheitia – Unity

For this task we learnt about a well known person in the Maori culture, which is ‘Kingi Tūheitia’, Kingi Tūheitia was known as the Maori king, but also known as a person who brings unity towards his Maori people and people around the whole of New Zealand. Kingi Tuheitia is the definition of Unity as he showed the most respect to everyone and he gave peace to the land by telling us that every can get and have a second chance. Kingi Tuheitia was known for being the king of the Maori, but the people know that he is known for bring people together as one. Kingi Tuheitia was a very humble person and very mindful. When Kingi Tūheitia passed away, the Maori people crowned the new queen Kuini Nga Wai Hono i te Po. I think she will carry her fathers legacy by welcoming everyone, not matter their race, and religion, and by being humble. She also has a lot to bring to the table as she’s young, and her education is exceptional. She has many degrees which will be a big help for her collaborating with others.

I enjoyed this task because I learnt many things about Kingi Tuheitia and his daughter Nga Wai Hono i te Po. In my opioion, I think Nga Wai Hono i te Po will carry on her father’s legacy.

Paris Provaction

LI: to make an inform opinion
LI: to understand perspective
LI: to understand that your perspective influences your opinion

For this task we worked on learning about provaction on a topic about if Paris should or shouldn’t have spent their money on the Olympics. Paris was estimated to used 10 billion euros on the Olympics. This chose had many pros and cons or known as good and bad things. One of the good things were that: they gained 10.7 billion euros in the Olympics and had the 700 million euros of profit. One of the bad things about the Olympics is that they wouln’t have spent the money on donating to charity and building buildings like: a hospital, schools, etc, etc.

I enjoyed this task because I learnt many things about provacting and using reasons to back up your opinion. Using reasons to back up the information is very important because if you didn’t, they wouldn’t be able to explain why that’s their opioion on that topic.

Water Safety Brochure

For this task we made a water safety brochure which explains about many varieties of questions about being water saftey and how to become safe in the water. This brochure explains about what water safety is, how might people get hurt in the water, what gets trouble in the water, what helps little kids learn how to keep them safe when swimming, and etc. Reading brochures can help with things, learn about the place you are at, and etc. I think this activity was very interesting because it can help out people learn how to keep water safety.

I enjoyed this task because it can help out other people learn about water saftey and more.

Modern Olympics

LI: to explore about the Modern Olympics

For this task we noted down everything we knew about the Modern Olympics. We noted down things like: the sports which were: high jump, long jump, sprinting, etc. We watched videos about the Modern Olympics which included the sports, the Motto, Oath, Rings, Creed, Values.  These things keep the Modern Olympics fair. This task was very challenging for me because I didn’t know about the Creed, Oath, Rings, Value.

These’s are the meaning towards the Olympic:
Creed – is the most important thing in the Olympics because the meaning to this is: not win, but to take part in the Olympics.

Motto – which is “Cuitius, Altius, Fortius” Stronger, Faster, and Higher.

Rings – which is the activities in the Olympics, like: running, jumping, etc.

Oath – which is the promise in the Olympics, that is: abiding the rules, taking part, having respect, etc.

Values – which are “good sportsmanship, respect, and excellence.”

I enjoyed this task because it was very challenging and also very interesting to learn about, after learning about the Anicent Olympics.

 

 

LS2 Quiz

LI: to recall on the knowledge about Ancient Olympics

For this task LS2 made a quiz/kahoot on the Ancient Olympics, that helps about our recall of the Ancient Olympics. We made a varitey of questions about the Ancient Olympics. For example: when did the Ancient Olympics start, which would be 776 BC. This task was my favourite task because I recalled on all my activities. I need to improve on my spelling because I spelt Ancient as in ‘Acient’, but thats all I need working on. One of the things that I improve on is writing my answers because some of my answers tricked people into picking another opioion.

I enjoyed this task because I liked playing other people’s Kahoot and enjoyed making my own. I think we should do this again, but on another topic, so we can learn and also recall on our work

2 Words, 2 Minutes

  – Images of Ancient Olympics 2 word 2 minutes

Today we used the ‘2 words 2 minute’ challenge to write a description about the ancient olympics. After talking in pairs about the things we knew about the ancient  olympics we created a list of words (vocabulary) that would help us write our description. We chose the words ‘Greece’ and ‘athletes’ to help us think about what we were going to write.

We talked about ideas with a partner, then we had 2 minutes to put those ideas into sentences. After the time was up we had 2 minutes to reread what we had written and make changes if anything didn’t make sense or if we had words and punctuation in the wrong place. When we finished checking we had 2 more minutes to carry on writing our descriptions.

This activity was fun  because I learnt many things and improved on getting more words on the second time we did the challenge. For example: the first time I did this challenge, I got 38 words. The second time, I did this challenge, I got 48 words, which was a 10 word improvement. The thrid time I did this challenge, I scored 106 words, which was a big improvement from the first and second time we did this challenge.

 

Ancient Greek Olympics

LI: To use our smart searching skills to help us explore the Ancient Olympic games
LI: To work collaboratively in groups as an active participant and contributor

Our challenge was to work in our groups to carry out a mini collaborative inquiry into the ancient olympic games. We learnt that the Greek people honored Zeus. Zeus is the gods of all gods or known as the father of gods. He is honored by all the people of greece which honors him by building statues of him. We used our smart searching skills to help us answer the questions. Our group worked very well on our presentation. Something I found interesting was only men were allowed to play in the ancient Olympics. For my topic I picked: ‘What role did religion play in Ancient Olympic Games? How did athletes honor the gods during the competition?’ This question has many answers to it because there’s two different topics. What role did religon play in the Olympics and how athletes honor the gods during competition. 

Samoan Language Week Pattern

LI: make a pattern for Samoan language week.

For this task me and Maurice made a design for Samoan Language Week. We did a research about a variety of questions about a Samoan tatau or known as in English a tattoo. For our design, it has many types of Samoan patterns and it also contains a Samoan flag.

First design – left flower: Our has 2 different Samoan patterns: for our wave it represents the water that surrounds Samoa and the dots represent the bumps of our personal story.

Second designmiddle flower: Our flower in the middle represents the peace within Samoa, which will hopefully be in the world too.

Final design – end flower: This flower represents  the Samoan  flag.  It shows power in the Samoan community.

I enjoyed this task becasuse it helped me learn about my culture and it also can help other people that doesn’t know about this culture.
