LI: To create a collage of images or short movie that reflects my time at camp
Our camp at Kokako Lodge in Hunua was wonderfull! this is my movie ! I chose these photos because these were the photos that reminieced me about my highlights at camp. My favourite part of camp was doing the talent show because some people were stage freight but took a step out of their comfort zone and gave it a shot !.I would 100% go to camp again because it was fun getting to know my own class mates more!.
LI: To write a poem that describes a moment in time
\
At camp we had lots of challenge activities to try. We were sure we chose our words carefully so that we painted a clear picture of what we were describing in the mind of our readers. Amorangi and I have described what it was like to climp the big wooden log , We chose this challenge because we both could understand how it felt to go on the high beam and how scary the experience was.

This is the image I created using the Adobe Express. I found this activity challenging because it was hard trying to figure out what we could put on our alley way picture but I found it fun because the after results looked really fascanating !
Something I learnt when using prompts for AI is to use as much details as I could to get a very interesting results!.
LI: To let others know who I am so they can make connections to me and my place in the world.
Heres the link to my video !
Our challenge for this activity was to write and record our pepeha to introduce ourselves.
I found this fascanating because I got to actually learn more about myself because growing up I didn’t even know what a pepeha was , I went back home for some help with my mum to see if she could help me with my pepeha , I never knew much about my Maori side but I am proud I do now!.
LI: To use the information in the diary extract to create an image of what we think Samuel Marsden saw when he sailed down the Tamaki awa.

We used Adobe Express to use our imagination to discover what we think Samuel Marsden would’ve seen passing the tamaki river , We thought including and old church above the hill , fences , cows and removing houses by covering it with trees would be clever because in our minds we thought there would be been cows in the olden days with old canoes and many many trees!.One thing ive learnt was ducks have been around for centuries ( or at least 25 million years) so that’s why we decided to put ducks in the water!
I enjoyed working with adobe express because there is many experience with A.I including how popular A.I is , I suggest you should start working with adobe express too !.
LI: To use our smart searching skills
Our Year 7/8 camp was at Kokako Lodge in Hunua. Our challenge was to use our smart searching skills to find out about the kokako bird and create an infographic to share the facts we researched in our own words , A story I found interesting about the kokako bird was ”Maori legend says , Maui the powerfull demigod was fighting the sun, and he asked the birds for water. The kokako wich is a blue wattled bird filled its wattles with water and brought it to Maui. later then Maui gift the birds with long strong legs for easily leaping through the forest”.
I enjoyed communicating with my partner because we already had gotten both our brains ready for a fresh start for school!.
Our challenge today was to create a collaborative presentation that reflects the story behind our NZ flag. We did this by looking at how our flag has changed over time.
Something I found interesting was the symbols and what they symbolise and the meanings behind it blew my mind.
Our challenge today was to use the links provided and our own smart searching skills to find out what Kauri dieback is and what we need to do to try and prevent this from spreading. We need to know about this so that we do our part to keep our Kauri safe when we go on our hike at camp. I had thought this challenge would’ve been easy but it wasnt it was very challenging , first I had to search what the kauri dieback was and how we can help stop it from spreading , next I discovered what caused it and tried to find a reason how we could stop it from spreading.I enjoyed communicating with my friend during this task. And I would 100% do this task again!.
LI: To use our smart searching skills to find out who Samuel Marsden was and what he is known for.
We used our smart searching skills to research facts about Samuel Marsden. To make sure our facts were correct we used three different websites. The websites I used were wikipidea , Nz history and encyclopidea of New zealand.
Something interesting I found out about Samuel marsden was that Samuel Marsden was the first missionary to come to new Zealand and bring Christianity to new Zealand.
I learnt its is important to use my own words because there’s no point of writing big words if you don’t know the meaning.
In LS2 we learn best when we learn with and from each other to help us with our learning and help us with communicating with our other classmates. What your responsibility as a group member is to always help other be included and help our group with their work. How working in a group helped you understand more about the kuaka because they all gave information about the kuaka that they know and we create them into ideas. Why talking to others about your learning is important because it can tell us more about the information we are learning about and to help us communicate. Something I enjoyed is that I can work with my group and have some fun with them.
