My Symbol!

Before Room 12 starts their official Art Exhibition mural, we all made symbols which we think represents ourselves and we put geometric art in the background. I chose to draw a Snow Globe for my main drawing but their is a whole lot more symbols inside the Globe which represents me perfectly.

Kupe and James Cook Venn Diagram

 

For LCS today, we watched 2 videos, 1 about James Cook and his adventure to New Zealand and the other about Kupe and his adventure to New Zealand. Kupe and James Cook are both very different people but with very important roles, they both have one thing in common, they made history to New Zealand! They are both very different but yet make such a good team!

James Naismith!

For September, Room 12 is going to be looking more into Inventions, Inventors and Innovations! 

Me and Coree made a PowerPoint about the Inventor of Basketball - James Naismith!

James Naismith was challenged by the program director at YMCA to make a physical activity that athletes could train too while waiting and finishing sport seasons!

Tonga's Gold Tooth

Due to Tongan Language Week, the whole school had different tasks to complete. One of the tasks that I am sharing on my blog is the " Tonga's Gold Tooth." A lot of Tongans have about 2 - 3 teeth that is half or a quarter filled with golden covers. The story that I shared is not true but if you want to find out the truth behind the golden tooth, ask someone who has one and see if they know about the history or why they got one! I had a lot of fun this week with the Tongan Feed that was provided by the Glen Taylor School family and parents! Happy Tongan Language Week! 

TED Talk - Social Media

This TED Talk was all about Social Media and how some random videos that people posted not expecting anything, went viral just by 1 famous person tweeting about it. 

Allocca works with YouTube and he looks after the trending side of YouTube, his job is too watch a whole lot of YouTube videos and figure out what it trending everyday.

My Personal Profile #2

Instead of knowing more about my hobbies and what I like to do in my spare time,

here is what I find most important to me if I had to leave home suddenly and what I would miss most!

While doing this task I learnt that thinking about what you are and what aren't going to take on a sudden adventure is very hard to think about especially if you want to take many things.

My Personal Profile

 

For LCS we all made our own Personal Profiles. It tells you more about ourselves and what we like to do outside of school.

Week In Review

Narartive - The class was split up in 4 groups and got a piece of paper of different Literacy Devices. One group got Similes, another got Alliteration, one got Hyperbole and the last group got Personification. After we got learnt what our Literacy Device means, we got to the other groups and teach them.

LCS - My stop motion animation is coming together slowly, I have used one of my personal teddy bears as my host and showed all the different things that introduce me.

Technology - We are still working on how to make our MBot move, make sound and sense objects.

This week is also Cook Island Language Week and to celebrate, Pasifika Pearls performed a danced today.

Stop Motion Script

This term our Learn, Create & Share topic is " You are you, You belong." 

With this topic we have a task to make a Stop - Motion Script about it.

Coree, Tee, May and I are making a animation about a student who finally finds the courage to stand up for himself with the help of his friends.

Traditional Samoan Food

For Learn, Create and Share today our task was to make a Google Drawing on 7 - 10 traditional food from your culture. My culture is Samoan and these are the foods I picked. I don't really like any of these foods except Koko Laisa. My parents and elders from my family really like all these foods and would eat them anywhere!

My Pepeha 2020

A Pepeha is a Te Reo Maori way of telling a group of people or a person about yourself. It is an introduction and it is very common to use a Pepeha at special occasions.
