My Jackdaw

 

WALT: Create a Jackdaw showing and explaining what you learned whilst reading the book.

As a part of our novel study tasks, we were told to make a jackdaw, taking aspects of the story and different key points and ideas and organizing them in a poster type design. For us to be successful we had to write a bit about the main/important characters, the plot, moral, theme and setting.

I found it easy to do since I remember most of the things we had to put down, it was pretty fun and I recommend you give it a go for your own reading to be able to remember the facts more, and make it more interesting.

Yellow Bellied Sea Snake

 

WALT: Research a Current Event

For our current events today I decided to research the recent discovery of a Venomous sea snake in Taranaki, this was discovered by a 10-year-old boy. I found this easy to do since the facts were there and ready to go. Have a read and see what you think, leave some feedback in the comments.

ANZAC Photo Slideshow

 

For this activity we made a photo slideshow that showed some of the ANZAC soldiers and representations of them whilst they were in battle, the point of this slideshow was to showcase some of the ANZAC soldiers and the hardships they faced, I also included some misc examples of different aspects of the first world war.

I found this easy to do since it was just adding a bunch of photos onto a slide, we did this to show small glimpses of what it was like in the first world war. 

Maori Contingent Propaganda

 

WALT: Create a poster convincing someone to join the Maori Contingent in World War 1.

The Maori Contingent was a primarily Maori New Zealand battalion in World War 1, even though the majority of the Senior Officers and High-Command were Pakeha it was a primarily Maori fighting force, it was the first of its kind and invited any and all Maori people to join the fight.

I found it easy to make since it was just a few images and some text.

Digital Dig

 

WALT: Learn to do more with our Chromebooks.

For our Digital-Dig we dived more into what we can do on our Chromebooks and how we can use them more efficiently, we learned how to use our Chromebook shortcuts even more than we already do and learned some more helpful tips on how to use our Chromebooks better than we know how to do.

I found it easy to do this activity because I already knew most of the Shortcuts and how to do most of this since I have did this activity before, it was challenging to find a shortcut that I didn't know.

Kinetic vs Potential energy Experiment

 

WALT: Make and document a science experiment that defined and showcased Kinetic and Potential Energy.

My friend Liam and I made an educational video about Kinetic Vs Potential energy, in this experiment we made a Paper Plane launcher using a rubber band, the rubber band was pulled back, causing the potential energy to be harnessed, once it was let go and the plane was flown that Potential energy was transformed into motion.

I enjoyed it because it was hands-on work and it was fun to make and use, I found it difficult to find a plane design we liked and wanted to use.
