Leadership - Word Cloud

Today LS2 Year 7's are practicing and also learning about being a role model for when we get to year 8. So we created a word cloud using Tagul to show our learning. We used all the words related to leadership. So what a leadership goes threw, also what a leadership does. We also learnt that role models learn from their mistakes.

Run, Jump, Throw.

 This week with run, jump, throw with Andy was amazing. But our focus was long jump, we learnt how to balance when we land. Also the best positions and the worst. We had a few practices at it, then we got into groups and had a little competition for the jump off.

My Olympic Logo

Today I created a logo for the for the New Zealand Olympics. The New Zealand flag is obviously to recognize that it is from NZ. Also the Olympic rings is to know that it's for the Olympics. The Silver fern is a symbol of New Zealand. 

Hover Bike DLO

For this DLO, Juanita and I worked on this poster. Do you know those commercials with thee Nutribullet and Power Fit and all those ads.  Well if you do, that would help to understand this post. We are doing a poster like the advertisers but without a video, the purpose of this DLO was to sell a product. 

Times Tables - Quizizz

Today for maths our class had a practice game of quizizz, for this game we came back to our times tables. This is a really interesting game to play with and to learn from, especially when you're racing your friends. In this game you get ranks so like first place and second. You get ten seconds to answer each question,

Reading To Room 3/4

Today, LS2 had to select a student from room three or room four, as a partner to read a book that they choose. We had to read the book that they wanted to read, LS2 students helped them to get better for reading so that they can stop reading like a robot. This for us is to collaborate with others even more, Also to help us get better at questioning with writers and writing.

Book Parade

This week was book character week. My favourite teacher outfit was Mr Wong because he was Luke Skywalker.    We had to dress up as a character in a book we did this to inspire the juniors to read.  

Advertising Post

Here is a DLO about advertising, We had to describe the word advertising in 25 words. At the beginning of the lesson, we did this really fun activity. There was one writer and three or two people who had to read a two paragraphed doc, to them and we had to write every punctuation and word correctly. Also did I mention that we were running back and forward. But the people who were not as far away were lucky. 

Attributting Images

Today I did a attributing images, I found out how to use unilegal images. which is images that the owner of the image gives permission to all to use. We had to find certain images and put the links which are: The URL, owner's account and the license. 

Leadership Week

Yesterday LS2 had a lesson, about leadership day. A nice women named Lynne from the spark foundation, came to talk to us about leadership week. She gave LS2 a working paper that had my dream is and also my dream for NZ is. For mine I wrote My dream is to live a life that I would always remember with sports and anything else that comes to me. Every one also got prizes from the spark foundation.

Life Education - Nicole #2

  

Today the year sevens went to life education with Nicole again, at the begging of the lesson. Nicole played two games with us, one was a game called speed clap. If you are wondering whats that, here is your answer. there at least have to be three people or more, then one person has to be the caller. The caller has to say any number up to 50 or more, next the clappers/players have to clap pretty fast together to the number that the caller says. If you get out of rhythm or clap the wrong number and the caller hears and sees which person done it then they are disqualified.

The other game that we played is similar to heads down thumbs up, but instead of voting for who touched your thumb you have to look at a person who is not looking at you. if you do look at someone who is looking at you then your eliminated. Oh yeah I forgot to tell you that people don't touch your thumbs, someone just has to count down from three and then you play.  

Life Education - Nicole

Today the year seven's went to the caravan doing life education, with our teacher Nicole. We learnt about some of our body systems, our nerves, brain and circulatory. Learning today with Nicole was very interesting, she tort us about the very important details/body parts in our bodies.    

Story Starters: Writing

This is my narrative on Story Starters, I like this website because it spins and picks your topic for yourself randomly. This is good to practice your writing skills, by doing narratives. As this site picked my topic I had to write a narrative and draw a picture, of the main thing. 

Ski Trip DLO

Here is my reading DLO as you can see, For this DLO we we´re learning about PROVERBS. I think that this is a very interesting task because of the fun and cool ways you say wise things that really mean something. E.g See a pin and pick it up, all day you´ll have good luck. See a pin and let it lie, bad luck you´ll have all day.

Speech - Walking To Places, Alone

Speech

Kia Orá and good afternoon/good morning PBS , teachers and all juniors and seniors. My name is Cyrus for all of you who don’t know, have you ever walked in the night alone when it was so dark and you we´re so scared and frightened. Well if you have, that must have been really tough.

For instance let’s say a kid probably like our smiley year 3’s age, brave and young but horrified walking alone to the shop or their aunts to get some things because his/her mum said ¨ Hurry up, do you want a smack go shop/aunties NOW¨, or something like that

Do you get it? Listen real carefully to my words or, you will face the ultimate price or the con,se,quen,ces. Here are some tips, if your mum or dad says to hurry up and buy some milk or anything like that, try talking and explaining to them about what might happen. But if your parents don't listen, don't go. If you get a bash it will be better than getting kidnapped or you know what I mean.

But you would not imagine what might be out there at night, probably gangs,  muggers, robbers and all that violence. So always have a parent if she or he comes, or just don’t go. Do it in the morning. Be safer around at night.

Thanks for listening and remember what I said. Do it, see it and remember it. Catch yous next time.

Here is my speech, Harlem Sajiha, Cecilia, Jessie and I worked in groups to present our speech in that small group. This is so that we can feel more confident. As you can see the topic that I chose is walking to places, alone.

Virtual Tour Of Thailand

This is my photo collage, if you can guess these photo's are from Thailand. Also if you are wondering whats all those links or writing on the images, they are the links to the photos, and inference or references on the images. The writing (In Black) is the author who took the photo and who owns it, these are not just random photos picked from google images from Thailand. If you know you need permission for photos then here is a walk through tip for you, type in what you want in google images. and just under the search bar you would see some word's with arrows beside it, on the last one it would say search tools. click that and it would come with more words and arrows beside it, then you would see search rights click that and it should come up wit things like labeled. click the one with labels for reuse. It will come up with things that you are allowed to use.

Math's DLO

 

This is my DLO on the Doubling and Halving strategy, this is a really interesting strategy to use in maths. Ms D's group and I all had a lot of equations, that Ms Donaldson gave us to solve out using this strategy and of course to answer. Then we had to make a DLO which I have already done, an then we had to publish it on our blog which I have also done.

The 6 Hats Activity

This is my DLO on Charlotte Anne, as you already know I used the six hats for this activity. My work buddy was Oh Hsen, I really enjoyed this activity because synthesizing is really important. We both had to synthesiz and learn about pioneers. It was interesting because we had to write one while paragraph for each thinking hat.

Writing Narrative

“Lonely, lonely, lonely shoe thrown in a bin abandoned in an alleyway”. A lonely shoe hearing cars ZOOM past, going so fast. The lonely shoe relished on some rubbish. That lonely shoe having nothing else to eat. Socking wet, as rain filled the bottom of the inside of me. Lonely shoe having nothing to see, black all around no way no how to flee.

This is my writing shoe narrative, if you have already read it. It tells you about a lonely shoe, and how it is in its life. This task was writing by Lyndon and I, first we had to do our planning - Smell, See, Feel, Hear and Ideas. These are what me and Lyndon used for our, when we finished we had to use one device and had to go back to back. We had 15 minutes to each write a story to go long.

Word Clines - Can Do's

Here is another can do that I did, my can do choice was a word cline. As you can see the word that I chose was the word cold, my task was to find out more interesting words as I go up each box. Which means each box should have stronger meanings that increase in intensity and interest.  

Asia Mapping Task

This is my Mapping task, as you can see I was searching/mapping about Thailand. Did you know that Bangkok is 9757.73 km away from New Zealand, it is known that Thailand is in the north hemisphere.

Using 5 Times Tables

This is my using 5 times tables DLO, we had to solve our 6, 7 and 8 times tables using my 5 times tables. We had to split up the easiest number into 5 and what ever and had to times the 5 and the other number and answer it then we had to times the other number with what ever E.g - 8 x 6 split the 6 into 5 and 1 so 5 x 8 = 40  and 1 x 8 = 8 so we have to add up the answers 40 + 8 = 48 and there you have it.

ANZAC Page Diary

This is my ANZAC diary page, I added 

Anzac Tasks

As you can see this is my anzac poem task, we had to read the poem that we were given and write the main idea and also how we know.
