Our challenge was to research the impact of a specific volcanic eruption in Aotearoa. We could choose from Mt Tarawera or Whakaari.
We found out that the most active volcano in New Zealand is the Whakaari White Island and that it has erupted more than twice leading to injuries or even death situation
I found this task very intresting because this challenges me to use my smart searching skills at a high standard.
LI: Identify Matariki as the Māori New Year and explain its cultural importance.
To explore Matariki we worked collaboratively to complete a series of challenges.
Something I learnt about Matariki was that it is a time for people to come together as one big whanua, It is a time to remember the people who have lost their lives and about making your wishes apon Hiwa-Te-Rangi, which is the youngest star that represents wishes and aspirations ( As wishes and dreams for the future )
My favourite challenge was to create a star that symbolises the Matariki cluster because it shows my creativity.
LI: To calculate the product ( multiply ) of whole numbers, using algorithims.
This week group 5A created a DLO about multiplacation but using algorithims. For you to understand about how to solve the numbers we have used is twenty-three times twelve. The final answer is two hundred and seventy six.
For Writing LS2 created a pour qoui story relating to the Maungarei Mountain.
Back, far back, in the mists of time when the world was very young, Mount Firing Mountain called Te Maunga Ahi had a very bad temper when woken from her beauty sleep. When woken her anger would sometimes take over her emotions. As her anger took over sending the other mountains running to look for cover. She grumbled and smoke started to come out of her nose. Her Lava and ash started to erupt out of her crater.
As she was the youngest she had jealousy because all of her siblings were bigger than her and ignored her.
The more she was angry the more her siblings were scared of her. When she was at the tip of her anger her siblings ran for cover waiting for it to be over.
Te Maunga Ahi no longer had anger issues earthquakes started to become lower, And the villages and towns no longer had chaos , Te Maunga Ahi’s parents quickly and calmly ran up to her and apologized
“We are truly sorry for what we we’ve caused you and making you feel that you felt like the lonely younger child I could of paid more attention to you” replied Te Maunga Ahi’s family
with a guilty expression on their face, trying their best to get back her trust and respect,
“ But how can I forgive you after what you have done to me?” Te Maunga Ahi responded,
Te Maunga Ahi thought for a while they were her family so she decided to forgive them. This had made Te Maunga Ah’s behaviour and taught her a lesson from now on to learn which sorts of behaviour work well and which don’t, and to improve yourself without regretting your decisions. It was then and now Te Maunga Ahi had decided in order to succeed herself to the world and make things better she chose to fall asleep and never wake up again.
Thanks to Te Maunga the villagers, other Maunga, and the world had started to improve for the other Maunga, the people, and Te Maunga Ahi herself, The people crowded around Te Maunga the fiery guardian had come to live in peace once again . Over time the people developed and Te Maunga Ahi started to improve. And that is why Te Maunga the fiery Guardian sleeps in peace once again.
If the other Maunga could even imagine if Te Maunga Ahi would rise again with her volcanic heart beating in second.
For this imgae we generated a AI image for our porquoi frame work using adobe express.
I enjoyed this assignment because I learnt new things about adobe express.
For our assignment, we read through the story and responded to the questions using our own words in a comment tool to express our opinions and ideas as a group.
Group 2 created a Google video where we took turns sharing six facts about the historical tragedy. We used our research skills to explain what happened, using our own phrasing. For example: “The disaster occurred on Christmas Eve, with many passengers traveling home to be with their families, which heightened the tragedy of the event.
LI: To retell an event in history through the fictitional eyes of someone who was there.
we have been looking at the events that took place at ANZAC cove on the 25 April 1915 during WW1, During the WW1 there were many lives that have been lost or badly injured people during the war. We looked at videos and read story’s of peoples diary, Because of the knowledge I gained while reading and watching the information, It has helped me to create one of my own diary entries. We used googe vids to help us. I enjoyed using this as it allows me to use my knowledge that I have gained and plot it all on the Google vids. Somthing that I found interesting about the task was that the recording part was interesting.
LI: To create a music that reminds you of Autumn.
I have completed yet another task for the Autumn Learning Journey called song maker. This task required you to make a song thar remindes you of Autumn using the app song maker. I think I did a good job because I feel like it has a beat to it. I really enjoyed using this app to create a nice song because it has diffrent modes and other apps to go on.

LI: To use positive and thoughtful words and write comments on people’s blogs.
For the Autumn Learning Journey I particapated in a task called commenting. Commenting is when you comment nice and kind words onto people’s blogs. For my task what I needed to do was to comment on three different people’s blogs. I really enjoyed this activity because it made me feel nice to see other people’s blogs and also to comment kind words.
LI: Write as many words you can using the word Easter.
In the Autumn Learning Journey there was an activity that was called boggle. My task to try and create as many words using the one word Easter. In my opinion I think that I did a good job because I think I used more definition in my senttences. The apps that I have used during this task was Google, word hippo and my drive.
In the holidays I have achieved one of the task for the Autumn Learning Journey. My task was to create a digital poppy using the app Piskel out of pixels. I loved this task because it pushed my creativity to my fullest to create my finished product. The apps that I used create this was Google and Piskel.
