Romeo And Juliet Animation

This week for inquiry Julian, Nevaeh and I needed to translate lines from the English that we use today, to the English that people of the Shakespearean age used. After we'd finished that, we then needed to read out what we'd written to the rest of the class. Our next task was to create an animation on a scene of our choice from Romeo and Juliet, because we ran out of time we needed to cut it short.

Descriptive Writing

Today for writing Aung Naing and I needed to write a story from a shoes' perspective, the thing is, we couldn't talk. It got confusing at times because we both had ideas but they were nothing alike. We also needed to use the some of the senses to describe what was happening to the shoe. After that, we listened to the other group's stories and then we presented our own.

As my tired, soggy and worn out body slowly scrapes across the muddy concrete floor, I think back to what happened this morning. 

Just as I was about to fall asleep, these 5 wrinkly, cheese smelling things are shoved inside me. Their sharp tips scratch my innards and get caught in my fabric. I angrily chafe this intruder, and it responds by smacking me against a wall. As I’m unwilling to be torn on any sharp objects, I relent and let the smelly thing be. After an hour or so of running, my friend and I are forced to watch as the giant goes straight through a puddle of mud- with us still attached! It only groaned as a huge amount of water started flooding through my skin. 

Boy do I hate being a shoe.

Reading Presentation

Today for reading Jack, Aung Naing and I needed to present our DLO on the history topic that we'd chosen. We picked the medieval times. After creating the google drawing on our topic, we also made a kahoot. This part was a bit harder because we wanted to make pictures to go with the questions, so we spent a lot of our time on those.

Helping A Room 6 Student

Last week Room 6 and 7 came over from their classrooms to create a blog post with us, the people from LS2 needed to find their buddy from the Maniakalani film festival, and then help them make a DLO. I needed to ask my buddy (Jaiksyn) about what happened during the film festival, and what he thought of the films.

FoodPrint

Yesterday a woman named Michal came in and talked to LS1 and LS2 about business and enterprise, as she has created her own business which is called FoodPrint. She told us about the different factors that come in to play when you create your own business, like the logo, name, and how you manage your workers. Her business is an app, all you do is download it, and you can then buy food that restaurants would otherwise throw out for a lower price. After purchasing whatever you want, you only need to go and collect your items.

Maniakalani Film Festival

Yesterday was the 12th annual Manaiakalani film festival, on the bus there, LS2 needed to look after the younger students from rooms 6 and 7. Once we'd gotten to the cinema, we needed to drop our little partner off in one of the lower seats. There were lots of funny movies from all around the cluster, but my favourite was from LS1.

Care Award: Silver Excellence & Innovation

For one of my CARE award tasks, I needed to complete the 4 Xtra Maths subjects. For Xtra-Maths you need to answer questions on either addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Completing this was slightly hard, since I'd put the wrong answer every now and then.
