LI: To use Google My Maps to show the migratory flight path of the Kuaka.
This week our task was to make a DLO Using my map to see how far from alaska to Nz. TheKuaka Can Fly over 11’6oo Kilometers And They can fly that far because they have a type of diet that makes them bulk up and they shred. The always have stop to refuel their body with insections and that gives them energy.
One intresting fact is Around 80,000 to 100,000 Kuaka arrive in New Zealand each year, from late September.
LI: To create an infographic that tells others about the migration of the kuaka
For this weeks reading we were learning about the kuaka bird. We made a DLO to express our learning though our blogs.
Something interesting I found out about the Kuaka was that the kuaka Bird preserves energy by standing on one leg.
LI: To understand the concept of visual storytelling
For this activity we made a storytelling collage using photos we took during our walk to the tamaki river. We made the photos in sequence to describe the timeline. After our trip to the Tamaki river we made a podcast using hotseat.

Something our group found interesting was that the kuaka birds can mingrate place to place. They had actually fly from Alaska to New Zealand. It gives me more ideas of how or when the kuaka bird migrate. This is what i had learn about and gave my ideas to. We learned from each other and communicate and combinie ideas with eachother. Kuaka Birds have rough time finding there homes.

LI: To understand that everyone has a role to play when we are working in groups
In LS2 we learn best when we learn with and from ecah other, Your responsibility as a group member is to participate, Contribute, Encourage each other, and invole each other. How working in a group helped me understand more about the kuaka because they gave different information about the animal and we created that into ideas to put it on our work. Why talking to others about your learning is important to help us communicate to each other to give us ideas for the work we have been working on, Something I enjoyed while doing this activity is that we all collabrated and participated as a group.
LI: To let others know who I am so they can make connections to me and my place in the world.

LI: To write a poem that describes a moment in time
At camp we had lots of challenge activities to try. Our challenge in with our poem was to chose our words carefully so that we painted a clear picture of what we were describing in the mind of our readers. We used our four senses which was what our thought is, how we felt, what we saw and what we heard. I have described what it was like to do High Beam and how it felt when we were testing the Hight Beam. Me and Lila chose this challenge because we thought is challenging and fun.
