Taneroa | Summer Learning Journey | Wk 1 A 6 Kick Start

L.I to use our creativity to create a Taeroa Pattern. 
                                   

 Panmure Bridge School, had the opportunity to compete in the Summer Learning Journey. SLJ is a organization that encourages younger students to keep their learning going, by doing assigned activities, with themes behind them. SLJ has been running for over 5 years, and this is the 6th year currently. 

In this DLO, we were asked to create a Taeroa Pattern, out of a koro. We were only allowed to repeat and resize, recolor and rotate these koro's to make the Taeroa Pattern. In my Taeroa Pattern, I repeated the process, and went for modern and tidy pattern. I really found it hard to come up with a idea that wasn't the same with other bloggers work. I found it interesting, how many different ways we could put a koro and use it to design our own. Here are the results. 

Te Reo Maori Atctivity 5 | Week 1 | Summer Learning Journey

 L.I to learn how to pronouce maori Sentences.

In this DLO at the top, LS2 had the oppurtunity to work with the Room 5 students to help them with their Te Reo Maori Knowledge. Mayshar and I had worked together to try find out which words best fit into the sentences. In this activity, we were asked to listen to an audio that conncluded a maori sentence. On the next slide we had to to match the words to create the sentence. Another part of this activity was to draw a picture of an activity that, me and my family members would do. I drew a image of me and family members at the beach. I drew this, because my family mostly likes going ot the beach, as it brings them joy and makes them remember how they lived in the islands. Here are the results. 

Fishy False teeth Activity 3 | Week 1 SLJ

  LI: To create your own comic strip of an imaginary conversation.

Panmure Bridge School, had the opportunity to compete in the Summer Learning Journey. SLJ is a organization that encourages younger students to keep their learning going, by doing assigned activities, with themes behind them. SLJ has been running for over 5 years, and this is the 6th year currently. 

In this activity, we were asked to read a article about four characters. 

This is story about two men who go fishing. the First man gets Ocean sick, so he sneezes. He sneezes until his teeth fell out and when it did, The second man started laughing. The second man then pulls out a fish that has teeth in it, and he remembers that person who lost their teeth. He then gives them back to Person 1, but it wasn't his. The Taxi Driver and his Wife had pulled a prank on them, which caused the second man to cause legal action. 

In this comic, we saw a video with the same article, so we put it into a comic. Here are the results

Insect Art | Acitivity 4 Summer Learning Journey

 L.I to get inspiration from Insect art, and use nature to express our creativity. 

Panmure Bridge School, had the opportunity to compete in the Summer Learning Journey. SLJ is a organization that encourages younger students to keep their learning going, by doing assigned activities, with themes behind them. SLJ has been running for over 5 years, and this is the 6th year currently. 

In this activity we were asked to watch a video that was created by Raku Inoue. Raku Inoue, is a Canadian artist who uses, twigs, flowers, leaves, seeds etc. to create complex portraits, of insects. 

LS2(& Room 5) had watched a video that explained how Raku Inoue, had created these small portraits. It was then our turn to try out these intricate portraits. LS2 had walked around through the school collecting whatever they needed. Most students got twigs, potentilla, wheat, lavenders & etc. After collecting our resources, we created our masterpiece. 

I chose to create a butterfly. in my flower, I filled up the wings with flowers as you can see. I used twigs to do the outlining of this butterfly. 

What is a Insect? A insect is a small arthropod animal that has six legs and generally one or two pairs of wings.

Three Facts about a Butterfly:

1.  There are almost 20,000 butterfly species.

2. Butterflies only live for a few weeks

3. Butterfly wings are transparent

I found this activity very fun because we got to explore our creativity and got to explore the outside nature. I found it interesting that this was very challenging and how their are 20,000 different species of butterflies. 

Treasure Hunt with Nano-Girl 1 | Summer Learning Journey

 L.I To collect the resources needed to create our Superpower experiment.

Panmure Bridge School, had the opportunity to compete in the Summer Learning Journey. SLJ is a organisation that encourages younger students to keep their learning going, by doing assigned activities, with themes behind them. SLJ has been running for over 5 years, and this is the 6th year currently. 

In this SLJ activity, the Nano-girl had asked us to collect these items that she had listed in her video. I really liked the fact that she explained that these are items that most people would view as rubbish. Some materials we couldn't get, as they were in school-groups, which we just replaced them with things that are at the same use. These materials were created to prepare for tomorrow . Here are the Results. 

Comment Activity 2| Summer Learning Journey

L.I To write a quality blog comment on someone else’s blog that starts a rich learning conversation.

Leaving a quality blog comment on another  student’s blog helps us make connections to new learning by asking open ended questions that encourage a reply and motivate the blogger to ask their own question in return. This is how a comment thread starts and when that happens we make connections with a wider audience who we can learn with and from.

Today one of the activities that were apart of the Summer Learning Journey was to comment on anybody's blog of our own choice. I chose to comment on Jessie. Jessie is a Yr-4 student from Glen Innes School. I particularly chose Jessie, because I was really impressed with her blog and video. This blog post was about the First Summer Leaning Journey Activity.  

Christmas Board Game

 LI: To create a digital board game for the juniors.

Link to game

In this DLO show above, LS2 had the ability and opportunity, to create a board game using this Google Draws. The main purpose was to entertain the juniors. We first saw an exemplar of this, so we could get a clear idea of what we were doing. I chose to create a game of snakes and ladders. The only twist with these board games, was that we had to make them Christmas themed. The main characters for my story was an angel looking for the star. This connected to Christmas because of the star and how it very often used at the top of a Christmas tree. 

Operation Christmas Drop

 L.I to learn and inform others about Operation Christmas Drop.

The Operation Christmas Drop is the longest humanitarian aid, that has been created to help impact others life's from remote islands. The Anderson Force, Japanese and Australian forces, have allied together to create a box full of supplies that the islands will need to survive. These forces has also partnered up with businesses to get these resources. These boxes are mainly dropped to islands near Guam(a U.S Territory island). These are often dropped around Christmas. Fau and I had learnt a lot from this. We found it really interesting that it has been running for 68 years. 

Probability

L.I To create a probability tree to explain your thinking. 

Probability is the chance that something is most likely to happen. LS2 has been studying Probability for two weeks. Ong and I have been working together on this DLO to explain how Probabilities work. In small groups, part of LS2 had a maths session with Mrs. Anderson talking about Probabilities. One of the maths problems that occured through our session can be seen in this DLO. We used Probability tree to solve these problems. Here are the results.
