Thank you letter

LI:to show appreciation to our teachers.

I have been doing my CARE awards respect and one of my task was to make a thank you letter to one of the staff members, my thank you letter was to Miss Anderson and Miss Fisi’iahi thanking them for what they have thought me and how it helped me in life, for example I thanked Miss Fisi’iahi for teaching me new strategies for maths, and I also explained what questions it helped me with.

I enjoyed this activitie because I got to thank my two teachers Miss Fisi’iahi and Miss Anderson for the things that have helped me with and what they have thought me.

Moko Ika Hika Waru

LI:to learn and picture the legends of the Taniwha creature

This week LS2 have been doing Taniwha art to represent our panmure basin because people say that some of the Taniwhas live in our panmure basin, and because we wanted to represent a Taniwha called Moko Ika Hika Waru, The Taniwha Moko Ika Hika Waru was described to have eight tails. The Taniwha is a Maori creature/legend that Maori believed to hide in the rivers, some Taniwha were also belived to abduct women.

I enjoyed this activity bacuse I got to learn more about the Taniwha Moko Ika Hika Waru, but it was hard to look at diffrent Taniwhas to see what details I could add to me and my groups Taniwha art.

Aretha Franklin

LI:to learn about Aretha Franklin and her song “RESPECT”.

This week I have been doing my CARE Award badges one of my task for the silver Respect Award was to “Research Aretha Franklin’s song RESPECT “.I found out that her song “RESPECT” meaning was to show respect to your man, I also found out that it was her most famous song out of her 112 charted singles, I also learnt her lyrics to her song respect.

I found this activity solid because it was really hard finding all the information about Aretha Franklin and her song.

How to be cyber smart

LI:To know how to stand up for yourself or what to say when getting bullied.

This week i’ve been doing my CARE Awards Badges, one of my task was to “Create a DLO on how to stand up to bullies, or how to be cyber smart”. My DLO shows what to say or do when getting bullied and how to stand up to bullies, it also shows what language you should use when getting bullied.I said you should use manners and to not swear.

I found this activity joyful because it was fun to look at what you can say when getting bullied and to tell others.

Kauri Dieback

The following week after camp we did a research about the Kauri Dieback. Then we created a DLO about the Kauri Disease on how we can prevent it from destroying our nature. Though we can do things such as wash our feet to stop the disease from killing our tree.
I found this activity hard and fun because it was interesting finding out about kauri dieback.
