Kokako Lodge Brochure

This week LS2 has been celebrating camp, one of our tasks was to create a brochure for Kokako Lodge. My group (Marieta, Joel, Viliami and Joseph) filled the outside part of the brochure with information, and the inside with pictures of what the camp, activities and waterfall look like. To make it easier for us to complete the brochure we organised ourselves into different jobs, mine was to write the introduction.

Siri Group Challenge

Today, we have been given a challenge for writing by our teacher Mrs Anderson. Our challenge was to write in exactly 50 words, a response that Siri (An automated program on Apple devices) would give us if we asked it "Why Kokako Lodge is the greatest place to take year 7 and 8's on camp?" Although Mrs Anderson wanted to make this more of a challenge. So what we could do is gain points by using different Language features that would give us 5 points each. If every feature was used, then you could gain a total of 40 points. Although for another 5 points, you needed to make sure that everyone in your group was working together, and that a learning conversation was taking place. If you had exactly 50 words, and you used different references, you could even have 100 points total! Once you finished writing, you needed to digitally create a Siri conversation showing Siri's answer. The final step was to create a Screencastify that had us voicing over the whole conversation. For this activity, I worked with Julian, Jack, and Viliami. We had a lot of fun, and enjoyed recording the most.

Heroes And Role Models Venn Diagram

This week one of our tasks for Inquiry was to create a venn diagram on the similarities and differences between a role model and a hero. Although there isn't a big difference between role models and heroes, since we look up to both of them, it was interesting to learn about.

Leadership DLO

This week we've been learning about leadership. Marieta, Joel, Viliami, Miiana, Sakina and I worked together to create a DLO on what a leader is, what goals we have as leaders this year, what responsibilities we have as leaders this year and what makes a good leader. For what makes a good leader we wrote things like: Someone who can step down and let others have a turn, someone who can take the initiative and someone who can learn from both their mistakes and successes.

Panmure Bridge School CARE Values

                      

Today Joel, Viliami, Marieta and I worked together to create a DLO on our school's CARE Values. In it we needed to include how we could show the values and what they mean, an additional task was to brainstorm how we could use pictures to show what the values would look like. For the confidence value we chose to have someone standing up and pretending to present their work which would take confidence and for other values we had raising one's hand to answer a question, picking up rubbish around the school and completing a set task.
