WLJ Activity 4 Minecraft Challenge

For the Winter Learning Journey I was challenegd to build anything that was winter themed, I decided to build a cozy cabin house. I started off by teraforming the ground so I could build easier. After I finished I started by making an L shape and adding pillars. Then I started building gable roofs out of stairs. Once I finished I used a darker wood to make the walls for the whole house and added glass windows. Finally I added light and snow everywhere.

I found this task fun because I enjoyed building the house and decorating it.

WLJ Activity 11 Boogle

I was challenged to find as many words as I could inside the word SNOWSTORM. I started by breaking the word into 2 and making snow and storm then I started doing all the words I know starting with N. I did this until I finished each letter and added words I missed at the end.

I found this activity fun because I got to challenge my brain and expand my volcabulary.

Matariki Assembly

For Matariki we held an assembly and each class was given a specific star out of the matariki cluster to research about, our class was given the twins Papatuanuku and Ranginui. Papatuanuku is known for giving us food from the sky like birds and fruits. Ranginuiu is known for giving us food from below like potatoes and other vegetables. For our presentation me, Bethany and Armani created paper mache stars and attatched the names that Ane and Siniva created to them. Along with the 2 stars Mercy, Mason, Riley and Folose created a song with the help of AI.

I enjoyed creating the stars because I enjoy painting and arts and crafts.

A Moment in Time

LI: To recount and explore the learning and experiences from our Year 7/8 camp

I wrote a poem based on my senses like auditory, tactile, visual, and kinesthetic. I used my prior knowledge of the senses and unpacked different words and ideas that describes the Hunua Falls. These moment in time poems represent my experience at Kokako Lodge. One of my ideas were “I saw the birds flying freely in the live green trees”,  I then used word hippo to find more powerful words to strengthen My poem.

I found this activity fun because I got to use my sences to create a strong poem about my experience at Kokako lodge.
