SLJ Week 1 Activity 9

 LI: Complete the Pigpen  Treasure Map Code and then create your own Code for the audience to complete in the comments 

SLJ Week 1 Activity 8 part 2

 LI: To create your own chorus song 

Today for our SLJ activity was to create your own text graphic and make sure to do a background so our audience can get a perfect explained picture in their head to know what the text graphic is about . Something I enjoyed about doing this task was thinking wisely about what text graphic I will use in this task and exploring through the internet to find the most perfect explained picture about my text graphic . One thing that made me interested in this task is being to pick my own text graphic starter and being able to chose which text graphic my DLO links to a team , school , community.  Something I learnt about doing a text graphic is being creative about the colours , font , pictures . The main purpose of my background story is about Anti bullying and the words im tryna say to the audience reading this picture. 

The first line, is pretty self explanatory, 

There is so many generations today waiting for people or SOMEONE to be their ears or even a shoulder to lean on. Or even someone to say 'I'm proud of you'

Second line, 'A generation of bullies so what you say bout that'

In my own words, and own experience, How do you feel having someone belittle you every chance they get.

Third line, Listen to my story, and the words I have inside'  

PLEASE LISTEN, when someone is getting bullied, or abused or hurt, please listen.

Last 2 lines,  What I'm tryna tell you, THAT BULLY IS DIMMING MY LIGHT

Again it's self explanatory, A victim can only handle so much before they break down or do worse. 

• To be honest, in my opinion, Bullying should be known as the worst crime imaginable
• I have spent nights crying and also days where i have come home from school because I feel ugly, and also unwanted by my pairs at school, it hurts to be bullied.
• They say Bullies bring people down because they are already at their lowest, I know what it's like to feel at your lowest because of being bullied, so i know how much it hurts.

Today for our 7th activity we learnt how  understand and make maori sentences by rearranging the in the correct order . One thing i enjoyed about the activity was rearranging the maori words and making sure thy made sense . Something i found interesting was getting supported by the audio to help me rearrange the words to make the correct sentence and hearing other people's opinions  about how they learnt how to make the maori sentence make sense . something i enjoyed about this task was because i am trying my best to understand most maori words and speak so i can be able to complete a Te Reo Maori task at the average i know it supposed to be done .

SLJ Week 1 Activity 6

 LI:Create a Tanerore kowhaiwhai

Today I learnt that when it is very hot and the air is shimmering Tānerore performs the haka for his mother, Hine-Raumati. This happens in summer as the land heats up. Our challenge was to think about this while we designed our own kowhaiwhai pattern to represent summer. My pattern is like the Tanerore waving as the heat of his body does a haka for his mother as the sun slowly goes into his rest place to do his haka the next day .

SLJ Week 1 Activity 4

LI:To create a piece  insect art 

For our activity 4 We were inspired by art creations by Raku Inoue . We went outside and collected leaves, twigs, and other plant debris to create our own insect images that we thought could make a insect our of native wood or other fresh , uneven , dead plants . Something i found interesting about doing this activity was exploring through the native in our school and being able to be creative and find plants or sticks , twigs that i thought could make a creative insect.I found it quite hard to find my items to create my insect because i was thinking about to much insects so i went for a simple one and chose to do a stick insect . I enjoyed this activity because i got to explore with my friends to find my insects items and i got to hear what they were doing and it give me ideas . Here are three interesting things about stick insects : Stick insects have eyes but there vision is a bit poor but they don't ears but they can sense important sounds , It takes about 8 months for stick insects to hatch from there eggs , Stick insects can live upto 5 years but female stick insects can live as twice as male stick insects live .

PBS are still at school this week so finding the materials we needed for our treasure hunt was easy. Our challenge is going to be to find the equipment at home that we didn't find or have . I found this activity creative and interesting because I am looking forward to creating mine and my buddy's design by using the equipment me and buddy gathered together . Something I found interesting doing the SLJ activity was gathering all the equipment, so we could be ready to turn our items into a design . Sorry to Nano Girl for Pronouncing your name wrong in the end i hope you dont mind but i tried my best to pronounce your name right . What do think the activity will come out like ?

This DLO is about what presents i would buy for my household with exact $100 dollars budget . I shopped at warehouse and gave a clear explanation why i bought how much money i had left and what my item i bought for them . Something i found interesting about doing the maths challenges were about exploring through the warehouse online shopping to find a present i thought my family would like . One thing i learnt was how to use my money wisely .

Operation Christmas Drop

 LI: To write a summary of the story behind the Operation Christmas Drop in your own words.

This week for research  we learned about the operation christmas drop. For the last 68 years the men and women of the US air force who are based at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam have been using a pilot training drill to drop much needed supplies to the people who live on the 60 remote islands that surround Guam. Operation Christmas Drop allows the people living in these remote islands to sustain a better life and the communities to flourish. I think this is a great way to help others and make a difference in peoples lives. The people living on the islands are really grateful and happy to receive the Christmas Drop.

Decorating the tree

LI: To decorate the office Christmas tree

The purpose of our Design Technology challenge was to create a set of Christmas/Holiday decorations that represented our school and the people in it. We were given a design brief from Mr Johnston and a delivery date. To celebrate the end of this challenge LS2 delivered their completed decorations to Mr Johnston, then hung them on the tree in our school office. Mr Johnston was really impressed when we showed him our Christmas decorations and told us he liked that at the end of the decoration it said hand mand by our names . After we decorated the tree we went into friend groups so my group were Me , Ellenora , Sakshi ,Afatia , Diana and Tanisha .

2020 tech flection

 LI: To make a Reflection about 2020 tech . 

This year i have just attended at PBS and i was abit shy going to my first tech class  and even going to another school to learn other stuff i didn't know about yet the first class. The first tech class i had was about learning technology,robotics with Mrs ferguson, something i found interesting learning about robotics was that how i  learnt about different technologies and learning about mbot , Mbot is a different kind of technology material and you have to use coding to control the settings and to control the movements . The second tech class in my second rotation was cooking tech with Mrs Heka , Something i found interesting about the cooking skills you have to have  like using the knife and if your in a kitchen of three you know how you canus eone station together , how you can  spilt your big meal between a small family . My last rotation was science and what i learnt in science made me more confident about how science is important to us and what science is and how science is important to us . I really enjoyed doing the three rotations of tech because i like the different types of rotation we were given because its different for me from moving to primary to Intermediate . 

Art Colouring Book - Step it up

LI: Make a teel paragraph of our art colouring book step it up challenge .

My picture is about a  beautiful woman combing her long dark well treated  hair from the  artist Goyo Hashiguchi . As you can see I have darkened her hair and I have used brighter and darker colours for her robe of flowers and i have use a light brown tan tone for her skin  colour and for the background  , I chosen to be creative and make her hair more realistic and her made sure her flowers on her robe were bright and her look she was happy . 

The real picture of the woman combing her hair the recent colours that were used were   light colours and her hair was light grey, the skin was light white and her flowers on the robe  was plain white and the background of the robe was light bluey  . As you can see the artist who painted the woman combing her hair you know by them using light colours in my mind it makes me picture her worried and sad because it's like she was looking forward to a happy day but then something happened so she is at  home combing her long black hair after a nice hot shower and thinking about what happened today and what her day will be like tomorrow 

The difference between mine and the picture of the woman combing her hair is that my picture in my mind she  looks like she is worried about someone , something or how she was treated today and singing her head so she can get the stress off her shoulder and probably brighten up a little bit have a faith that tomorrow for her would be a better day . In the real picture the artist colours made me think that she had a down day and she was worrying about too many things at the same time  and that she needed to talk it out or she’ll just make sure to have a positive day and hopefully have no more stressful times .

Illustrated Story

 LI: To write a pourquoi (tell me why or how) story that paints a picture in the mind of the reader.

Our challenge this week was to create a pourquoi story that we would illustrate and share with our junior classes. A pourquoi story tells us why something is the way It Is Our story tells why/how… This morning we shared our stories with Room 2 and Room 4, and they loved listening to them. I enjoyed how they were respectful and waited patiently because i didn't now I had the confidence to talk in front of three classes but I did it for Mrs Anderson and I chose to make her proud and not let her down , Ellenora was so confident to talk even though she didn't want to but we did our best and we read to Room 2 Room 4 and LS2 .

Christmas decorations

 LI: make Christmas decorations  for our client 

This year  LS2 has been making sewing decorations for the PBS Christmas tree  for our client Mr Johnston . Before we started  our Christmas decorations we have made a mood board about all the materials we needed for our accessories  to decorate the outside of our design and what colour felt we needed for our decoration  , the four choices we had to choose from  who also celebrate christmas differently to New Zealand were Hanukkah, Eid ,Diwali and Christmas . From the four choices who celebrate christmas in a different place  I chose was Eid , as you can see my mood board that have different kind of christmas materials are the materials  I need to make a gingerbread man , Polar bear and the  Eid Christmas tree  , the colour felt I needed were yellow and white for the Eid tree, white and black for the polar bear and a light brown and white for the gingerbread man . When I started doing my Polar bear i started struggling but then after i got some i helped I knew I  had the confidence to do my sewing on my own and start understanding the process on my own . My opinion doing this challenge was trying something I thought i was bad at but turnt out i was really good , I am so proud of myself that I have created three Christmas decoration and i don't care if its not good like the others at least i participate and i made a Christmas design .  

Design Technology Challege

 LI: To design and make a holiday decoration that fits the client brief.

This year for our challenge we were to make sewing Christmas decoration for our client Mr Johnston  for our PBS Christmas tree . LS2 starting practising doing noughts and crosses before we started getting into doing our design so when we start getting more comfortable about doing sewing we could be able to get more creative with our sewing equipment on doing our design and slowly getting to understand the designing process .We were given an Evaluation sheet to fill in about our Christmas decoration , Something I would differently when we sew again is to do a more challenging decoration so I can improve more into sewing and then i could be able to be more creative on adding sequence's on my decoration then Ill be able to do my best to make it more noticeable and realistic so people know what my decoration is .  My opinion about doing this challenge has made me improve into myself because even though  this Is my first time sewing I thought I was bad and I was the only one  in LS2 who didn't know how to sew but then I realise You never know your really good at something until you try .
