Activity 2: Exploring Our Roots | Teaser Week | Summer Learning Journey

Today to get myself ready for the Summer Learning Journey I am doing the teaser week. This year again Panmure Bridge School is attending the school blogging progamme Summer Learning Journey. This programme helps students from around New Zealand to still keep their blogging skills and literacy skills in the level they need to be or even higher. During my years as a senior this has helped me with my literacy and my learning at school.

For this activity I had to create a pepeha for myself using a pepeha website or a google doc template showed from an example from the Summer Learning Journey Website. A pepeha is like a short description about yourself and where you come from. To create the pepeha I used an online site that helped me and gave me some information about the pepeha. 

Activity 1: New Zealand Royalty | DAY 1: ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT | Teaser Week

Today to get myself ready for the Summer Learning Journey I am doing the teaser week. This year again Panmure Bridge School is attending the school blogging progamme Summer Learning Journey. This programme helps students from around New Zealand to still keep their blogging skills and literacy skills in the level they need to be or even higher. During my years as a senior this has helped me with my literacy and my learning at school. This year the theme was "Change-Makers".

For this activity I had to create an infographic about the famous New Zealand Singer "Lorde". Using an example shown on the Summer Learning Journey site we had to add Lorde's real name and some facts and information about her that can inform people on who she is. An infographic is a graphic that informs and explain something.

LI: To create a hook of the beginning of a narrative.

This week for writing we have started with narratives. Using the character and setting description form last week we are starting on our narratives. We were first focusing on the hook. The hook is the beginning part of the story or the part that draws the readers attention so they would like to read more.With the advice from Mr Ogilvie he suggested that for the hook we should start the beginning from the end or start with an onomatopoeia. An onomatopoeia is words like: "SPLASH!" or "BOOM!".
