Maori Lesson

This week we had another Maori session with Ms. Whaea Ode. In this lesson our teacher read us a book called Remember that November which is a New Zealand book about guy fox day which is coming up this November the 5th. Then we had to research on google maps where Taranaki and Parahaki are located in New Zealand. We also had to research Parahaki on wikepedia to find out more about the event and important information we will need in the next session when we re-write the story. If we had head/ear phones we could listen to a song called Parahaki by Tim Finn. To find the song, Wikipedia site, or map of Taranaki in New Zealand, click the following links below.

Doraemon

This week for cyber-smart we had to create a google slide about one of the characters called "Doraemon" or "Anpanman". First we had to get into a group of 4 or 5. In my group there was Viliami, Ellenora, Sione A, and Jordan. We decided to do Doraemon. Before making the google slide, the whole class discussed the things we needed to make the google slide. Like researching and what we have to research and etc. In the slide we included information like - Who is Doraemon, What he dislikes and likes, Who invented Doraemon, and What is their medium/media.

Commonwealth Games Poster

LI: To create a DLO showing information about the Commonwealth games. This week for inquiry we had to make a DLO about the Commonwealth games. First we had to find information about the Commonwealth games. We needed to use our smart searching skills to find out information. The things that we had to find was a map of where the Commonwealth games is, how far it is from Panmure Bridge school, how many countries are competing, the motto and logo for this years game, information on 3 New Zealand medallists, who the 3 medallists are, what sports they do, what was their winning time and who Sophie Pascoe is. For the DLO we decided to do a google draw. For the google draw we had to make sure our print design rules were good. The print design rules are text, colour, composition and layout. We had to show our DLO to Mr. Wong, so he could check if the print design rules were good. I think that the LS1 minute to win it Olympics is really fun because we get to learn new minute to win it activities every week this term.
