Christmas in Canada

To celebrate Christmas we got into groups of four and worked collaboratively to find out about Christmas in different countries all around the world. My group worked on Canada and we found a lot of interesting things about Canada like how the eat chicken bones as a Christmas treat.We also learnt what they do differently from New Zealand. To show our learning we recorded our google drawing using screencastify. I worked on this DLO with Freeman, Joshua and Magenta.

Royal Family DLO

Today half of the school went to an athletics inter school and so half of LS1 came to LS2 and we got into groups of 6 I worked with the 6 people you see on the first slide. There was big news about Prince Harry getting engaged so we learnt about the royal family and made a DLO about our findings.

Dental Health DLO

Today we were learning about oral / dental health and Te Wai and I made a DLO to show my learning. This is an animation I made using google slides and it shows why you should brush your teeth and what can happen if you don't. It is very important to brush your teeth and NZ is one of the worst countries when it comes to keeping your teeth safe. So let's change our ways and start to brush our teeth. This animation is intended to educate the younger audiences specifically room 4 in PBS.

Animal Adaption

Today LS2 learnt about animal adaption. Animal adaption is when an animal has been living in an environment that might have some harsh conditions so it then adapts to that habitat to make it suitable for them. This is a DLO showing how Sand Sharks adapt to there environment and how they are able
to survive in there habitat.
 

Democracy

This is a DLO about democracy and what it means. When I made this DLO I learnt a lot about what democracy means and also I learnt how the government works just a little bit more. I worked with Fraidoon, Daniel, Aj, Eric, Oh Hsen and Cj.

New Zealand Prime Minister

This is a DLO I made about the Prime Minister David Lange who was an amazing Prime Minister who stood up for New Zealand and what he believed was right for the country. I had a lot of fun researching about David and what wonders he brought to the country. I made this DLO with help from Eric, Aj, Cj, Daniel, Oh Hsen and Fraidoon

This is a jigsaw I made about the political parties I made this jigsaw with the help of Eric, Aj, Cj, Daniel, Oh Hsen and Fraidoon. When I was learning about the parties I found out a lot about how the election takes place and to me it's really interesting yet very confusing.

Bullying Animation

This is an animation that I made with the help of Oh Hsen, Daniel and Aj. This animation is about a year 8 student standing up for a junior student who is getting bullied. I think it is important to realise that junior students can't stand up for themselves and they need some help sometimes so that's where the senior students come in. We can stand up and speak out for the people who can't stand up for themselves.                           

Saturnalia - Italy Winter Solstice

This is a DLO Fraidoon and I made about Saturnalia which is a winter solstice celebration in Italy. Countries have these celebrations because it is the marking of a new beginning in there country where they can grow new crops and harvest the grown crops.

Legend of the seven sisters

 This week we have been doing work for Matariki because it is the time of the Matariki celebration. Fraidoon and I made this DLO which has some information about The Legend of the Seven Sisters story which is a maori story about how the seven stars of Matariki came to be.

Winter Solstice animation

 This is an animation Fraidoon and I made about the Winter solstice and how the seasons work. We made this DLO for the Matariki celebration about the seven stars or nine because now they believe that there are 9 sisters. Matariki is around the time of the winter solstice so it is kind of New Zealands winter solstice celebration.

What people think about rubbish in our school

This is a graph showing what people think about rubbish in our school it shows that a lot of people drop rubbish around our school it also shows that we need more rubbish bins and we need more and finally a lot of people are unsure whether people would listen to signs saying not to litter.
