What My Parents Say to Me

LI : To writie a list poem that describes a topice by painting a picture with your words.

 

A list poem is a list of inventory of things and objects about the different objects. A list is also when you can use the same words at the start of each sentence. My partner and I created a recorded google slide with our list poem and each sentence shows what our parents say to us daily. What I found interested is that I learnt how to make a list poem really quickly, and how simple it can be to create one.

Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division Decimal Algorithm

Last week, Group 1 worked on Decimal algorithm together on Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division. We explained on a DLO how to solve and work out how to use each operations in Maths. Most interesting I learnt is that each operation has a different strategy on how to solve the equation.

Samoan Language Week

For Samoan Language Week, we created a Google Slides presentation with useful phrases in Samoan and English that could be used in everyday school situations. We chose important phrases such as asking to go to the bathroom, borrowing a pen, finding the sickbay, and asking for help with our work. We also used AI to generate images that matched each phrase and made the meaning easier to understand.

While working on this task, I learned more about the Samoan language and how translation can help people communicate and feel more confident. I found it interesting creating images to match the phrases and thinking about how these expressions could be useful for people who are still learning English. This activity helped me appreciate the importance of language and culture, and showed me how communication can help people feel welcomed and included.

Caveman Notes

LI: To learn how to extract only the mose critical information from a text.

Last term LS2 learnt how to take notes like a caveman. Notes aren’t full sentences, its two to three key words so you will know the meaning without the sense. Since you aren’t worrying about perfect handwriting, your brain can focus entirely on understanding the story of what you’re learning. Writing by hand actually wakes up your brain and tells it to remember these facts like they are survival skills. You’ll start to remember exactly where a drawing is on the page, which makes it way easier to “see” your notes during a test. It’s much faster than typing, giving you more time to think and less time spent staring at a keyboard. By keeping it simple and primal, you become a master hunter of knowledge instead of just a human typewriter.

Learning Conversation

LI: To have learning conversations to strengthen you connections to characters and events in the text.

This week for Reading, LS2 explored the Holocaust story and looked at how the author creates mood and atmosphere throughout the story. We noticed that the language used helps build tension and shows how different characters see events in different ways.

Building Hope

After reading Diary of Anne Frank and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas we talked about what people must felt like having their whole world turned upside down.

I can’t imagine what it felt like during the time they have spent captured but it must’ve felt horrible and terrified.

Yesterday we discussed how we could put their cloth of dreams back together again. This activity was inspired by the book Teaspoon of Light.

We drew what we thought that might be on their cloth of dreams the symbols what they were dreaming, the hope, freedom they had. Their thoughts of being with their whanau was uneasy.
