Create task

Hello and welcome back to my blog 

In this blog I am going to be talking to you guys about my Reading create task. For our create task we got to choose out of four different stories to read: My name is Rez, Something alive, Skiing in Afghanistan and New New Zealand, I chose to read My name is Rez. We also got given questions to answer about the book we chose to read. Here is my questions 

• What are the differences between you and the character  

She got teased for not being able to talk the same language as them at school.

I can talk the same language as most people in our school but I don’t make fun of people who are new because they can’t talk the same language

• What similarities between you and the character

We both live in New Zealand

• What do you think is the main idea of this book

I think the main idea of this book was to stand up for people who make fun of others from being themselves and talking their language (which may or may not be the same as the other kids).

• What do you think the book is trying to tell us?

I think also that it’s telling us that all different countries are different, that they treat all differently. In the story at one part she talked about when she made a mistake at school she would get punished at camp school, but  when she moved to New Zealand she found out that they didn’t get punished.

Do you do reading at your school?, Have you done something similar?

Camp Reflection

Hello and welcome back to blog 

For this weeks blog i'm going to tell you about our school camp. It is our first week back from camp. For camp we went to YMCA Wainui camp, we stayed for 3 nights and 4 days. Each day we did 3 different activities. Before we got to camp we did a 3k walk up and over a hill to get to camp. Once we got to the campsite we unpacked all our stuff in our cabins and set up our beds. On the first day we got there we all got to do one activity, we had activity groups so we didn't have everyone doing everything all together. There were 9 activity groups, every group had a number up to 9. My group number was 8. There were 9 activities, Costering, Archery, Search and rescue, Breakout EDU, High ropes, Outdoor living, Orientering, Kayaking and Raft building. We had a couple perint helpers we had Mr Web, Mr Esposito, Mr Chambers, Mr Gavigan, Mrs Stanton, Mrs Vaiese, Mre Harnett and Mr Litten.

On the last night we did a camp reflection, we got given 4 questions Here are mine:

1. I really liked  trying the activities out and giving everything a go. I really liked kayaking, It was so much fun and such a great experience. 

2. I found challenging the high ropes because I'm afraid of heights and the ropes moved a lot when you climbed the rope/obstacle course.  

3. I am grateful for getting this experience to do all the activities and to get to see all the amazing and beautiful places.

4. Something I learnt to give everything a go and to do my best in what I try, I also learnt that it's easier to work in a team. 

Has your school been on school camp yet?

Term 2 PBL

Hello and welcome back to my first blog of the term,

This Term our PBL question is  "How can I celebrate who I am?" . For this terms PBL everybody is working by themselves so we can celebrate our own culture. I really like this idea for our PBL topic because I get to introduce what I like and where I come from. We have been unpacking a couple of sub questions

• Who am I?
• What is culture? 
• What ways do people celebrate culture?

My main PBL artefact

Hello and welcome back to my blog, 

This blog i'm going to be talking to you about my main artefact for PBL this term. For this term I worked with Petra for PBL. We wanted to do so many things and wanted to do something big for this terms PBL. The question this term is: What will the future ask of us. Me and Petra definitely had to think really hard on what we wanted to do. We did change our idea a lot though the process of our projects. But then we agreed on something the we were sure that we weren't going to change and we didn't. What we did is that we did a lot of different creations. We made Watering cans, Jewelry stands, Bracelet stands, Lip balms and supply holder all out of plastic bottles. We came up with our own question for our project. Our question is How can we recycle single use plastics at home to make them helpful in our world and household?

What do you think about our PBL question?

PBL Subardifact

Hello and Welcome back to my blog, 

For our PBL we had a max of two subardifacts, Subardifacts are like Pamphlets, Business cards, Posters and more. Me and Petra (my PBL buddy) decided that we wanted to do Pamphlets and a poster. Today I will be sharing to you about our Pamphlets and our poster. On our poster we came up with a logo and we put out question that we came up with on it.
This is what our poster looked like:

On our Pamphlets we put step by step of how to make each design that we did and It will also say what you will need to make them. Some of the Pamphlets had QR codes on them so when you scanned them on a device. It will take you to a website where it will show you what it would like like if you try to make the design.

Do you do PBL at your school?
