Who Am I? Challenge

For the past previous week LS2 have been working on a challenge called Who Am I? This challenge is like Where Am I from but instead it is based on famous people around the world such as Tenzing Norgay, Nelson Mandela, Princess Diana etc. There were 10 people and for the task given we were to write down who they are, where there from, why are they famous, quote (if they have one), 5 facts about them, their country on google maps, their flag, and a picture of them. This was a lot of work which is why I was working with Miki and Ofa. 

Facts About Meerkats

Yesterday Mrs Anderson read us one of her favourite books, one called Meerkat Mail. The author of the book is Emily Gravett who has written a lot of children's books that even older children can enjoy. One thing that I liked about the book was how it showed all kinds of different animals that Meerkats are related to, like the Mongoose. I worked with Ofa and Carl to find interesting facts about where Meerkats live, what they like to eat and what they look like.

Armistice Day: Drawing A Picture

Since this week is the 100th anniversary for the armistice another one of LS2's follow up tasks was to create or trace an image of what the end of World War 1 would've been like back then, I worked with Jack, Fraidoon and Ofa to create this image. I really like how it looks because it has poppies and other aspects of war.

Billionaire Boy - Novel Study

For the previous three weeks Ofa and I have been reading and studying the book Billionaire Boy, which was written by David Walliams. Ofa and I have learnt different skills whilst reading this book like identifying the theme. This book was written to entertain us because it doesn't have real life facts or try to change our thoughts about the characters. I really liked this book because it's a tale of friendship and lots and lots of money.

Novel Study - Billionaire Boy

This term for reading Mrs Anderson has made reading fun for our group by introducing a novel study, for it we needed to partner up and in those partners our task was to read the same book or books by the same author and then complete tasks. This was a great opportunity for people who don't like reading to love reading. This is a fun reading task because we get to work in partners. I'm working with Ofa and together we  chose the book Billionaire Boy. We decided to choose this book because there were two copies for us. This book talks about a boy name Joe Spud who's the richest 12 year old in the world. Joe Spud is spoilt by his rich dad who owns a toilet-paper making company. He's gotten anything he's every wanted like more than 400 pairs of Nike trainers and a roller coaster in the back garden. We're still reading so we'll need to finish the book for the ending.

Rugby League Inter-School

Today in the Dunkirk reserve the rugby league teams from Sylvia Park, Point England and Panmure Bridge participated in the inter-school for the sport. Since there were only three teams the decision was for every team to go up against the other teams twice. For our first match we were up against Sylvia Park, we managed to win 4-3. In our second match we were against Point England, though we sadly lost 7-2. In our third match we were against Sylvia Park again and this time we did even better, beating them 7-2. At the end of our match against Point England we improved a lot, although we still lost 6-3. Thank you to Mr Ogilvie (Who coached us), other players' parents (Who supported us) and the people in charge (For setting the whole event up).

Cook Island Language Week

                    
This week is Cook Island language week and for it LS2 needed to get into our groups, in our groups we then needed to write down facts about the Cook Islands, its traditional foods, phrases and its flag. I worked with Ofa, Carl, Avalon and Joshua W. Carl and I also added in audio for the phrases (We tried our best to make it sound right).

M&M Research

Last week in our groups the task was to first research and then write down about M&Ms, one thing that we wrote about was the highlighted history of M&Ms. Along the way my group (Ofa, Avalon, Carl, Joshua W and I) learnt about what the acronym for M&M was, what happened to one of the founders, where the founders received their inspiration from and why they removed the red M&Ms for a decade. Along with adding in videos Ofa and I also made GIFs, mine being the one on the second slide and Ofa's the one on the sixth.

Animal Speeds/Life Spans

This last three weeks students have been missing quite a bit of work because we were usually out of school. During catch up time Jeremiah, Ofa and I worked together to create the task above. The task was based on two graphs, The average animal lifespan and the top speed of the animals. While doing this activity we learnt a lot of new things because most statements were true and only a few were false.
