The year that was... [Topic]

In class, we have been recapping what has happened in the past year, sort of the reverse of a letter to your future self. Instead of writing what you want to happen in the future, you write about what has happened in the past!

Today is about politics and activists, and one of the tasks was to give an opinion on the wall Donald Trump wants to build between the US and Mexico. This is mine!

Summer Learning Journey, day 3 [Topic]

Today, I have decided to write about someone who has a positive impact on my life. I chose to do someone called Clara.

"Dahlia is a positive impact on my life. She is rebellious, if not a difficult person. She, despite being someone who causes trouble, cares for her family, and friends. Dahlia, when put in a situation when most would have given up, she didn't give up and succeeded."

Summer Learning Journey, day 3 [Topic]

Today, one of the activities was to interview 3 friends about what they are most proud of. I chose to do this.

Tamati -
What are you most proud of?
"Not being tempted to do stupid things."
Why is this a big accomplishment to you?
"I would usually do stupid things, but I don't, when given the chance."

Lennox -
What are you most proud of?
"My maths."
Why is this a big accomplishment to you?
"I have been struggling in my maths, but now I am not."

Ocrnia - 
What are you most proud of?
"Staying on task."
Why is this a big accomplishment to you?
"It is really hard for me."

This is my first project on the teaser week of the summer learning journey: day 2. We had to come up with 4 similes. This is mine!

Instrument Project [Topic]

In class, we have been doing an 'Instrument Project' about any instrument we wanted. I chose to do the Aulos. I hope you enjoy mine!

Passion Project [Topic]

In class, we are making passion projects. For those who don't know what that is, it is a DLO of your choice about a subject. We had criteria to do it on something we didn't know a lot about, so I chose 'Alice in Wonderland (The Book)'. Here it is!

Kaitaia Animation [Topic]

In class recently, we have been making animations or storybooks for 5 - 8-year-olds. The stories had to be about how a place got its name in Muriwhenua. I chose Kaitaia, and this is the animation.

My future career options [Topic]

In class recently, we have been looking at careers. We would go onto careers.govt.nz and do 'Careerquest', a quiz that would find jobs that match your interests. From the results, we had to choose 5 careers to put into this Career Project. I hope you enjoy this!

Dental health poster [Topic]

In class, we have been making posters of dental hygiene. Mine is this one here. What do you think?

Tribes of Muriwhenua [Topic]

Last week, for topic we were creating a slideshow about the tribes of Muriwhenua, the tribes in Northland. I had found it easy to write about the colonisation of New Zealand, but I found it difficult sometimes to put the stories into my own words. I managed it in the end, though.

Do you like the stories of the tribes? If you do, what part do you like about it?
