Sweetie and I designed a DLO on how we thought the people who arrived at the treaty of waitangi’s Feburary 6 1840 might have been thinking about during the signing. Have a look at our DLO and see what we imagined was going through others mind.
On Friday the 13th of feburary, LS2 went to their very first tech session of 2026.
One of the groups i was in were doing tech styles- sewing. In tech styles last year, we were designing cusions but this year we are making bags, it could be shoulder bags, handbags or even tote bags. Our teacher handed us some papers to fill in like who we would like to make a bag for and why. She first taught us how to use a sewing machine by giving us a go on paper, on the paper were lines we were tracing. On some machines were others challenging themselves to go faster and some were taking their time , going slow and steady…

Kia ora, my name is Ataahua and I am a 2026 student leader. This year my goals are to participate in more activities eg sport and Paskifika. My goal for 2026 is to grow in confidence and have self belief in what I am capable of. One of my favourite things is spending quality time with my close ones. As this is my last year, my goal before I leave is to be a positive influence on our juniors.
For summer Learning journey one of the tasks were to give Turbo the chihuahua who unfortunately has no front legs an upgrade. For my decision I chose to give turbo the snack dispenser 2.0, that contains a dog treat to boost turbos energey into making him roll on wheels! combined with:
For this Summer Learning Journey activity we designed a prosthetic leg for Mosha (The elephant) her front left leg, Mosha the elephant once stood on a landmine when she a only 7months old (still a baby) I enjoyed working on this because it took a lot of creativity and took a lot of time to decide what patterns I should have done for her leg.
For this task it was similar to our Kickstart , with an exception this Google drawing we made a copy of, was nothing about maths but it was kind of like a fact sheet from reading the article I discovered many facts about the biggest centipede in Aotearoa the Hara to find out more checkout my Google drawing.
For this activity we focused on maths, maths about centipede. We watched one of the videos linked, “A live Giant centipede” after watching the video we made a copy of our Legs Tally Kickstart task, And so I noticed that most of the math problems were about centipedes and the centipedes legs. Feel free to look at my work!
For this activity, we used paper and scissors to create handmade spiderwebs. We started by watching a video, “Spider Webs: Spider Artists at Work,” which showed how spiders build their webs. Here are some facts I learned from the video :
spiders use strong and stretchy silk to catch insects. They feel vibrations in their webs when prey is caught, though some hunt without webs.
I enjoyed the making of the spiderweb and looking foward to more fun activities Summer learning Journey has planned.
Summer learning journey is back! For this activity we designed our ”Art in the web” hand made using a pencil and paper following the videos linked. From watching one of the videos linked I discovered that spider webs have many different kinds of silk some being:
Strong silk
Sticky silk ( to catch bugs)
Fluffy silk ( to wrap their eggs )
And even silk thinner than a hair strand!
