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.

Blog Post Data Analysis

                                           As a task for maths I needed to find and record how many blog posts and comments I'd received over my years of blogging, I searched through every month of each year to find different results. In some of my early months (2015) I didn't receive any comments, whilst in others only 1 or 2. Most of the comments that I received over the following years were due to the Learning Journeys that took place (Summer & Winter).
