DARE... to make a choice

 LI: To create a DLO answering 4 questions. 

This week we have been continuing with the DARE program.  This week for the DARE program we were talking about the risks and consequences in making wrong choices. We talked about how we could make the right choices. In table groups we were given 6 different scenarios, we were to explain the consequences of the scenarios and how we would punish the person. Lastly, in pairs we created a DLO explaining our answers on 4 different questions. I collaborated with Heavenly to complete this task. These questions were :
Why is it important to make the right choices?

What is one thing that suprised you?

What is the main thing you learnt?

What is one thing to remember in the future?

 

Tech Reflection | Science | Ms Sharma

 LI: To identify the types of materials and uses of plastic. 

This week for tech we continued learning about plastic. During this session we learnt the different uses of plastic, the dangers, and some different materials made by plastic. There are some plastic that can't be recycled while others can. For our activity we had 13 facts, we had to read each of those facts and label them under; positive, negative and neutral. The label positive; was labelled for the facts of plastic that are good uses to the world. The label negative; was labelled for the facts that were about harmful uses of plastic. The neutral label; was a labelled for the facts that were good and bad, which basically means the fact praised the plastic but had a bad outcome. 

History | Maori Language Week

 LI: To identify the history of Maori Language Week.

This week me and my group have completed another Te Wiki o te reo maori challenge. For this challenge Juel, Sulia, Heavenly and I created a google slide deck explaining the importance and history of Maori language Week. In 1975, Maori Language week was marked an official language week in Aotearoa ( New Zealand ). Although there was a language week, the people from the Maori community protested to have Maori language taught in schools to keep the culture going. This was acknowledged in the 1980s. In 1985 Maori Language was one of the official languages of NZ. 

Whakatauki | Maori Language Week

LI:  To define a whakatauki in your own words. 

Sulia, Juel, Heavenly and I have completed our 2nd activity. For this activity we created a DLO explaining what we thought the whakatauki meant in our words. The whakatauki we chose was 'Long on words, short on actions'. In my opinion I thought this meaning that people keep saying things but doesn't actually accomplish or complete it. A whakatauki is a significant saying or proverb. 

Te Reo / English APP | Maori Language Week

 LI: To create a bilingual app of Maori and English. 

This week is Maori Language Week. In LS2 we were given different challenges to accomplish relating to Te reo maori. This is one of 3 challenges. For this activity Juel, Sulia, Heavenly and I created a interactive DLO, also known as a digital app. In this DLO we included different questions relating to Maori. This DLO was made to help others learn some words, numbers, places, and object names in Maori. There are different buttons on the DLO that are there in order to click and move around the DLO more easily. 

Family Tree | Te reo Maori

 LI: to create a DLO showing your family roots. 

This week the Te reo Maori challenge was to create a DLO showing yoru family roots. In this DLO I have made a family tree of my family. I have only went up to one generation of my family. As you can see there are words like ; Whaea, Matua, Whaea Keke, Matua Keke. This was a really fun challenge. These words are for showing who they are. Here is the definition of the words:

Whaea - Mother

Matua - Father

Whaea Keke - Aunty

Matua Keke - Uncle

Its cool 2b me! | DARE Program

 LI: To complete a DLO about its cool 2b me.

This week LS2 has been doing the DARE program. This program is to help us become more confident to say no to drugs and alchohol. In this DLO we wrote down all the things about ourselves. This was to help us become more proud to be 'me'. There were different subjects in this DLO. They were; What I look for in friends, my wish, great things about me, my favorite food, my goals, someone I would like to be, best friends, and fun things I like doing.
