I went onto Groove Pizza and made a beat but unfortunately i didn’t make a song. The Summer Learning Journey activity was to make your own beat on groove pizza but this site is good for you if you want to go forward in your journey or try to find a carer in college or in your future.
LI : To create a DLO about that repersents my culture
For the Summer Learning Journey kickstart activity we had to make a DLO that repersents my culture. For this actvity I chose to make a superhero expressing my Samoan culture. I thought of a few things to help me explain about my superhero. I added a twist with including my alter ego aswell.
I enjoyed this activity because I can express my culture to people who would look at my blog.
LI: To learn how to prepare harakeke flax
This week we learnt how to prepare a harakeke flax as it will be helpful for our item on the PBSMD (Panmure Bridge School Market Day). Something I found interesting about harakeke was the way you can prepare the with just scissors because you do need a lot beut all you really need is a pear of scissors to help your struggling with trying to prepare the harakeke leaf.
I found this activity fun because this could tell people how to prepare harakeke leafs so they don’t damage the speical leaf.
LI: To use your smart searching skills to find the story behind this picture
Our challenge was to write create a DLO that shows where this lighthouse is and what the story is behind the image. We found out that the Phares dans la Tempete, la Jument is a lighthouse in france that was taken down by a wave that was caused due tawards the storm.
I found this activity good because during this big storm nobody was hurt physiclly but but some people might of been frightend from this event.
LI: To find and summarise the story behind the poem
The ship sat still with no wind or waves near. His sails were hungry for action but received no wind. The rapid waves flowed calmly, gently over the inchcape rock. They sunk and rose recklessly, but never shook the bell. Abbot of Abethorok placed the bell on the inchcape rock. The warning was heard as the rapid waves got furious. The rock was hidden, but the mariners heard the bell, As they realized this rock was a dangerous rock. The sun was shining bright, bringing joy on that day, as the sea-birds sang, while they circled around the rock. The buoy had been seen, but was a darker speck. Sir Ralph the rover, walked his deck to the bell. When he saw the buoy he felt excited and cheerful. His heart was excitement but the rovers mirth with wickedness. He demanded his men to immediately put out his boat. He yelled we shall row towards the menacing inchcape rock.
Our challenge was to unpack the story behind the 17 verses of the poem Inchcape Rock by Robert Southy. The part I found interesting was when the pirate named Sir Ralph Rover cut the inchecape bell and had to go back and cursed himself by crashing into the rocks because this tought all of us to keep to ourself and things can fly back at you because of your actions.
I found this activity fun because we got to learn a moral which is leave thing alone before it fly right back at you and we got to learn about the history around the inchcape rock.
LI: To use the 5 senses and personification to help us paint a picture with words.
Once we had completed this part of the challenge we joined together with another group to share our writing and make sure what we had written made sense.
I found this activity fun because afterward we checked our work and we tried to find punctuation to add as points.
LI: To understand the 5 senses can be used to strengthen a description
Once we had completed this part of the challenge we joined together with another group to share our writing and make sure what we had written made sense and had met the language feature challenge.
I found this activity exiting because we could put exprition into our text and try to make the reader feel like he is the person in the story or text.
This DLO is showing people on a role-modle to look up to in life eather look at their qoutes or how they grew up and maybe on the type of lifstyle they had or have now. People need to look up to people so they can be a better person, so in this insdence I chose the Rock (Dwayne Douglas Johnson) because he is a good role modle and he is a insperatinal person to look up to.
This DLO is showing kids on how to make a proper DLO for any type of work during school hours and maybe to put that DLO onto their blog.
This week for inquiry we learnt about the Māori enterprise and how people had done trading’s in the 19 century. People had done trading’s in the 19 century by settling in areas with good access to resources. Some of the rescores going fishing, growing crops and collected resources. By doing this people would have access to trade things with something with equal or better value.
I found this activity interesting as I was able to learn about what the Māori enterprise was and how they did trading’s.
