LI: To understand the story within the poem

For Reading, we learned about a poem/song called Waltzing Matilda. We read a text that talked about a swagman traveling from one place to another. In the poem, for every end of the line there is “You’ll come a Waltzing Matilda with me”. When we read the poem, we answered all of the questions with our own words and what we know about it. We were challenged to create a DLO that reflects the analysis of the poem and to summarise the poem with exactly 25 words. We enjoyed doing this activity because we got to learn his history and understand.

LI:To understand the story within the poem

For reading, we were challenged to create a DLO explaining both perspectives about the Great Shearers Strike. We watched 2 videos that told us about the Strike in Australia (the strike was inspired by future labour reforms and the birth of Australian Labour Party. We shared our knowledge to explain what we know from the video that is added to our perspective A and B (Farmers and Shearers). Did you know that the farmers were paying the shearers low money which led to the shearers to protest and show them what is not enough on the other side Shearers needed a day off due to showing their bosses about how they do things, treat others and how they were getting low paid money. In our own opinion it talks about which side is the best decision. We wrote a summary about the story of the Great Shearers Strike. We enjoyed learning about The Great Shearers Strike because we got to learn about how strike was invented and how they fought for their own rights.

For this weeks reading activity we learnt about Hone Tuwhare and how he is the secound greatest poem writter. We designed a video pretending to be Hone Tuwhare reading one of his poem scripts. This peom was describing about the rain and this helped us collabarate more and our collabaration in  small groups. 

L.I To create a doc showing the instructions you written to build your dinosaur.

For learning this week we had build a dinosaur out of paper ,using paper and glue, some tapes  and many more other things ,in this picture there are the instructiuons we had written out so that you or us could build it. This was a very fun experience and a very collabarative work where we can collabrate and communicate and experience the feeling of building a dinosaur out of paper.  This is showing how to make a iguanodon paper dinosaur. 

For maths, Group 4 has created a DLO of tongan word problems to celebrate the tongan language week, Our DLO includes, Multiplication, Division and more!

LI: to research questions about your dinosaur including their habitat, diet, predators, and protection.

After digging up our dinosaur eggs we had excavated a iguanodon!, Me and my partners created a DLO to show you some facts about iguanodons what they like to eat, where they like to live and more! While doing this task i learnt about the 3 types of ‘vores’ omnivore ; is eating both plants and meat, Herbivore is eating plant based food, Carnivore is eating meat!.

LI : To evaluate (form an opinion) the text and respond to the provocation

For reading, Group 2 read a text called RISE UP: The Story of the Dawn Raids and the Polynesian Panthers. We were challenged to create a DLO that explores and discusses both perspectives of this historical event in our groups. We used our smart searching skills to learn and find stuff about the dawn raids, which lead us to talk about the danw raids. For our own opinion , we said that we think the dawn raids was a very discriminal and shameful event that occured in New Zealand. Something I found interesting about this text was that alot of policies had targeted pacific people just because they don’t belong in this country.

For this task LS2 was to complete 2 challenges  one , Use ADOBE Express to generate an image about each dinosaur on your completed sheet.

Challenge 2 Use https://hailuoai.video to create AI films showing 3 of your dinosaurs in their natural habitat. 

I enjoyed this task because i got to use my creativity skills on AI .

LI: To evaluate (form an opinion) the text and respond to the provocation

We read the text RISE UP: The Story of the Dawn Raids and the Polynesian Panthers.

For this activity, we were challenged to create a DLO showing both sides and our own opinion.

For Perspective B, i dont think the goverment of today (2021) should have apoligised when the raids started in 1970’s, i dont think it was the goverments fault and maybe the apoligy couldve been too late.

we worked in pairs to collabarate with eachother. For Perspective A, my partner wrote the government of today should offer an apology for the dawn raids of the 1970s as a crucial step towards acknowledging past injustices and fostering settlement.
