Our task was to pick an leader we admire and explain what they did to earn our respect, the leader I chose was a Maori Leader named Hone Heke, I respect and admire him because when he found out the british government was undermining his Maori people he was one of the brave Maoris who demanded the removal of all british authority over Maori people, even though war broke out he still fought with confidence and fought for and with his People.

I enjoyed this task because I got to explain why and who I admired as a leader.

LI: to understand both sides and opinions

An activerty we got to do in LS2 “learning space 2” was to learn about an event with happened in the past, it was about how two men stole and tried to sell badges which were given to those who sacrificed their lives in war, or to those who lost family because of war, we then learnt that their punishment was 13 years in prison, our group first thought that the punishment wasn’t enought and it doesn’t fit the crime, that was perspective A, we then went around as a class and told each other our opioins so we could maybe change how others thought, when we had done that we had to make a perspective B, for our perspective B we talked about how the punishment did fit the crime, and at the end we had to combined the two to make our last opinion.

I enjoyed this task because I liked the amount of collaboration.

LI: To follow the instructions to make your own origami diya (diva lamp).

The photo above shows my origami diya (diva lamp). Our first challenge was to watch the video that shows how to fold an origami diya (diva lamp). Before we could start we needed to use a ruler to measure a 20cm square piece of paper to make our own origami square. I found this task challenging because the paper wouldnt go the way I wanted it to go which made it very frustrating, but above all it was really fascinating learning about a diffrent culture.

I found this activity enjoyable and amusing because one of my favourite things to do in class is art and ceative things.

LI: To use your smart searching skills to find the story behind this picture

Our challenge was to write create a DLO that shows where this lighthouse is and what the story is behind the image. We found out that the Phares dans la Tempete, la Jument is a lighthouse in Ouessant and it is world wide famous as the story which comes with it, the story is how there was a lighthouse keeper what was caught in a really bad storm and there was a holicopter which in his mind was there to save him, but instide it was there to take pictures, because he thought it was there to save him he opened the door to take a look but then and there la jument got his world-press famous photo.

I found this activity interesting because if I never got the chance to learn about this I would have never knew somthing like this could ever happen.

LI: To find and summarise the story behind the poem – On a fine day a ship sailed calmly on sea, No danger in sight the ship rocked among the waves, Abbot of Aberbrothok had placed a Bell on inchcape rock, Marners heard the warning bell when the rock was hiding.The sun which shone beautifully setting on the blue sea, the bell which laid on the inchcape rock was seen.The time of spring gave Sir Ralph a wickden idea, Sir Ralph felt the cunning urge to break the bell, Sir Ralph leaned over his boat cutting the inchcape bell, The bell lowered down as all the bubbles burst around, Sir Ralph sailed away, and scoured the sea many days, The sun stopped shining as darkness and dampness took over, Sir Ralph takes his stand as darkness took a hand, “nothing can be seen” one said confusion came upon them, wind drifted them onwards until the inchcape rock was seen, SIr Ralph teared his hair and, crust himself in agony as below Sir Ralph could hear the bell ring again.

Our challenge was to unpack the story behind the 17 verses of the poem Inchcape Rock by Robert Southy. The part I found interesting was when Sir Ralph got a wickden idea when he felt the cunning urge to break the bell, I found this part very interesting the reason being it gave a interesting plot to the story which gave me a better reason to keep reading so I could see what happened next.

I found this activity thrilling because it was interesting finding new words to use in my 10 word summarise.

LI: To identify the main ideas in the text.

This week we have been learning how to find and collaboratively decide on the main idea in a text by negotiating. We read the text Lester and Clyde. This was a text about the consequences of pollution. Our group think the main idea was think of our consequences before doing an action as it shows us in story on how polluting in our drains can endanger our different animal life.

We found this activity hard exciting because it was hard to find a main idea together, but we worked as a team to find the ideas.

Me and my group finished our organ quiz, and made it ever better

First we had to get all our information from our plan, for example who is putting the links on, or who is make the wrong and correct slides.

Next we had to add more quetions, we added 3 extra questions, and added a slide telling more about the organ and what the organ was.

Lastly we showed Mr Wong for feedback, Mr Wong gave feedback saying we just needed to add a picute and not to add a wibsite.

I liked this task and I enjoyed it, but I think I need to get better at expaining the stakeholder and perpus.
