This week 2025 we are doing the summer Learning .The topic was The web we drew sprider webs and spriders.This is my drawing with webs and spriders all over it this is my favourite one their are some hanging and some not but this is my drawings that shows that what we did for Summer Learning.
LI: Learn about giant centipedes.
For this Summer Learning Journey, I found different types of facts about the Giant Centipede. We first started off with exploring information about centipedes, so we can answer those questions. This activity was found intresting Question because some of these questions was hard to find about. But we ended up completing our task which made us proud of ourselves. One fact that I have learnt about centipedes is was how they only have an odd number of legs instead of even.
LI: To understand the story within the poem.
For this task, we made a DLO of Waltzing Matilda. The paragraph represents the events that happened in the poem of Waltzing Matilda. For the full story, there was a swagman located in the billabong, he steals a sheep and was caught by the troopers. But when he was cornered, he made a decision to drown in the lake because he knew the outcome if he were to be put in jail, as poverty was inside there.
Something I found interesting about this text was how the swagman chose death over being caught.
LI: To Making Sense of Unfamiliar Text
For this task our main focus this week was learning and exploring about the shearers strike. Our group looked at the two perspectives of the shearers strike. When we read both of them we formed an opinion of which we thought was a better argument than the other. our main focus this week was learning and exploring about the shearers strike.
This is what Tejal and I did for google vids(about Hone tuwhare) who is Hone Tuwhare? Hone Tuwhare was a man from New Zealand who wrote poems. He liked to share his feelings and stories through his words. His poems often talk about nature, life, and feelings. People enjoy reading his poems because they are simple but make you think.
LI: To create a procedural text to tell someone how to do something using a sequence of steps, instructions or actions in a particular order.
Our challenge was to work in our dinosaur research pairs create a prototype of our dinosaur’s skeleton. The challenge was to make the skeleton of our dinosaur and record the steps we followed. Once we had our first prototype we revised and adapted both the prototype and the instructions
We used the language features found in a procedural text to help us write clear instructions so that another pair could follow our instructions and create our prototype.
I think this activity was fun because we go to caern our Procedurl Text.
Our challenge was to create a DLO and make word problems that needed to relate to Tongan language week, for example my question was : if Nia buys 29 bags og taro then her friends givesher 12 more bags of taro. How many bags of taro does Nia have now?
Something I found interesting about this Challange was that I get to celebrate my culture and giving my classmates math word problem challange to solve out.
Last Week for our reading we learned about poppys. We use our small research skill to find about poppys and we went to go in groups for this research. We got a piece of newsprint papper and on the newsprint we write down the ideas that were gonna research about. When we finished we made a Google Sildes telling us about Poppys. And then when were done we went up to present to the other groups. When we finished presenting out teacher give us some feedback on our Poppy Research.
