2016 Reflection

This year we have been in tons of activities and loads of fun.  This collage reflects on the whole year of what LS2 have been doing like for example Rhythm Interactive, Soccer, Quick writes and many more. I enjoyed the multi-modal learning that we have completed this year this particular task was based on pigeons.   To make it more interesting and more of a challenge we decided not to use a collage maker and instead make our pictures layered and with different shapes.  This year has been really great I had a great journey throughout this year I can't wait to see what's in store for us next year. 

Graduation 2016

This is a Google Presentation that I have created based on the Year 8 Graduation for 2016. It consists of photos of our class, certificate photos, dance photos and also dinner photos. We all had a great time for the whole of 2016, especially last night. Thank you to Ms.K for organizing everything for last night.  

The Labyrinth

Yesterday, we watched a movie called 'The Labyrinth.' This is a DLO that I have created today. It consists of pictures of the movie, what character introductions are, the narrative structure used in the film and also a paragraph where I have explained my favourite part of the movie. 

Tahuna Torea Reflection

Mia & Sajiha - Tahuna Torea Reflection

Yesterday afternoon we went to Tahuna Torea Reserve. This related to our topic flight because it was linked to the learning that we have done about the Bar-tailed Godwit or also known as the Kuaka. We explored the wetlands we observed the land. We were seeking the Bar-tailed Godwit but we sadly didn't see the bird. I also saw many different birds as well such as the Pukeko and the Grey Heron Bird. I had fun at exploring the reserve I hope to visit next time.

Rockets At Tamaki College - Collage

This is a collage that I have created based on photos we took at our Rocket session at Tamaki College. The photos show us creating 'Straw rockets' and also normal paper rockets. 

Multimodel Reading

This morning, we were focusing on the Kuaka Bird. We were put into groups and filled out a page where we added information about 'ways humans travel overseas' today, 30 years ago and 100 years ago. This made us make connections and focus on our prior knowledge. (Our own knowledge) It also challenged us since we were not allowed to use the internet to search up our questions or use books. The screenshot above shows the 'Kuaka Migration' site that we used. The site has many activities based on the bird that you can try out. Click here to access the site. 

Rockets At Tamaki College

On Friday, year 7 and 8's  went down to Tamaki College to create rockets. The presentation above shows and explains all the information we gathered up together. There is also a video included for you to create your own straw rocket. I have also added my results followed with an average distance. 

How to make a Straw Rocket

This is a google drawing that I have created collaboratively with Mia. It explains 'How to make a Straw Rocket.' I have added what you need and the steps in order. There are also images to show the utensils needed.
