Maori Title Meanings - RE

  WALT Identify how Jesus is Mātāmua and Tuakana
______________________________________________


In class, we are learning about Mātāmua and Tuakana. We had a task to create a DLO about some Maori Titles that mean something. We had to google up the definition of these Maori Titles, and explain what it means in english. And what the definition of the word is.

For my DLO, I did a slideshow. For my slideshow I listen an explanation for each Maori Title.

Here's my slideshow!

I found it hard that I couldn't find a sound app to say my meanings, because the sound apps couldn't pronounce the Maori Titles.

I found it quite easy to search up the Maori Titles and write down a explanation.

Family Roles and Times - RE

In Class recently, for ReligiousEducation we've been learning about different roles and times people have! As a class, on the mat our teacher, Ms Wilton was teaching us about Tuakana (elders) and our Matamua (first born). For this activity, we had to write down the roles for our own familys! For example what my roles are for times in the days. Like one of the times was at school, and at school my role was to be a role model! For my slide, I did my whole family's roles and times.

Take a look at my family's Roles and Times!!

WALT Using number lines

This week for maths, my group has been learning about 
equations like ? + 27 = 49. We used a number line to figure out what the "?" equals.

ANZAC Mascots - Reading

WALT Think critically when looking at information in different texts.


In class, I've been learning a lot about ANZAC. So our task for reading this week, was to gather all the information we could get about what ANZAC Mascots are used for in war. After I found lots of information about the mascots, I made a DLO with information about what ANZAC Mascots are used for!!

Here is my ANZAC Mascot DLO

After I finished my DLO, my next task was to create my own ANZAC Mascot that would be good help in war. I chose to combine a Kangaroo with a Dog..

Here's my mascot!!

Religious Education - Maximilian Kolbe

WALT Recognize how Jesus' work of bringing God's saving love caused him to suffer and die.    


For RE I've been learning about a man called Maximilian Kolbe. This man was in  WW2 for 6 years. He was a priest at a church. The task was to create a DLO gathering all the information I found. So I decided to create a Voki. 

(Voki is a site where it's got both 2 sences, see and hear. There is a character and you write in the text box your information. You can also record your voice instead of doing the characters voice.)

_________________________________________________________________________________


We had some questions we had to answer on our Voki.. So here's the questions I had to answer in my DLO!

Who was he?
What was his cause?
Who did he upset and why?
How did his work of love lead him to death?

This is my Voki where I answered those questions with the information I gathered!!

Writing - The ANZAC Violin - My Diary Entry

WALT Use descriptive language

In class we've been reading a story called "The ANZAC Violin". For writing our task was to write a diary entry. 

A guy named Alexander Aitken was a student who had been in the war during 1915. A friend of his gifted him a violin, when he was in the war, he had this violin with him. 

When he died, the school he went to took the violin. And it is now on display at his school, Otago Boys High School. 

Before he died, he wrote a diary. And we read his diary entry, and the class thought it was a bit boring. So we have been making our on diary entries, and we came up with a chart of descriptive words to use for our diary entries.

This is my diary entry..!

As I lay deadly, wounded on the ground. The sounds of blood dripping off me silently, I cry to myself. In pain. 

The foggy wind surrounds my body. As I hear bones breaking, I touch my violin and play a string. 

All I hear is painful screams, and loud booming explosions dropping from dusty rotten bomber plains, louder than the loudest string of my violin. 

I can hear soldiers tip toeing by me as I crawl around sluggishly. 

I slowly blink and see soldiers hiding in bushes. I look up, and get blinded by the flashing gun shots. I blink slowly again, as my eyes water from the foggy wind. My fingers are numb, and I shiver.  

As I see rancid dead people, I crawl to a cave. And I lay in a warm, comfortable spot quietly. And take deep breaths.
