This week for reading me and my group made a summary about the Tongan Ngatu we first read about the Ngatu and how do they make it.

Cybersmart| Bookmarks.

 LI: To make a DLO about being cybersmart

This week for cybersmart we made a tutorial to show how to bookmark websites. There are two ways to bookmark, one way is to click the star on the search bar. Then click done so you can show up on your bookmark bar. The second way is pressing ctrl + d, then do the same thing.

This activity was enjoyable because we got to teach others about how to make a new tab.

PB4L

 LI : To get motivated and concentration for me to learn about PB4L.

Today for our home learning  we did our PB4L in this activity we maid a DLO about keeping safe when there is a fire alarm.Why is it important to let the teacher know you are going to the bathroom, why is it important to use hand sanitizer, what to do when a fire alarm goes off and why is it important to let the teacher know before you leave the classroom. 

One reason why it's important to let the teacher know you're going to the bathroom, because if you don’t it could cause many problems. Like if there was a fire alarm the teacher wouldn’t know where you are, which would make your teacher and your parents worried.

This activity was fun and cool. We had a really enjoyable experience doing this task.

Giant Pandas

  L.I: To use our smart searching skills to find information about the Giant Panda

First we used our smart searching skills to find information about the Giant Panda. We noted down where they live, their threats, and what they eat. Also we wrote down facts we found. We used our notes to help us with the DLO that we created. 

We found this activity fun because we were researching together to find information about the Giant Pandas. It was a really enjoyable experience with each other.

What we found quite hard was not understanding what to put in the DLO but we got help from our amazing teacher Mrs Anderson.

We enjoyed collaborating together and getting the note making finished.

We found three facts interesting. One fact that we found interesting was that Giant Pandas are carnivores but their diet is like herbivores. The next fact we found interesting was that pandas have to eat 20 to 40 pounds of bamboo so they can get by(manage with difficulty to live). 

Cultural Art/Distance Learning

LI: To create a piece of cultural art 

 Inspired by art creations by Raku Inoue we went outside and collected leaves, twigs, and other plant debris to create our own cultural pattern or symbol. Then I was thinking about what I'm going to make  with the leaves and twigs I got,then I got an idea of making a butterfly. For this butterfly I used 4 leaf’s, 2 medium size leaf’s and 2 small size leaf’s. I then added the medium size leaf on the top of the twigs I got and the small size leaf on the bottom bit of the medium size leaf. Then i got  a medium twig and i put the it under the 4 leaf’s and then i got a small twig and i broken it into 2 twigs the i put the 2 twigs that i broken off from the small twig on top of the medium twig and that's how i got a butterfly. I found It quite hard to do this activity because It took me a long time to decide on what I was going to make. I enjoyed this activity because there were so many ideas to use to make an animal with the twigs and leaves . An interesting fact I found out about Raku Inoue is that you can be so creative with what you are making. This activity was fun and cool. 

 

Tatau

 LI: To create a DLO that tells others about tatau.

Today I made a DLO about tattooing in my culture. The first thing I did was I used my smart searching skills to find out what the Tongan traditional tattoo looks like,what it means, and what It's called. I then found out that the Tongan tattoo is called the tatau And that the tatau represented the Tongan people's loyalty and love to their family and the new responsibilities they had to support. I also found out that the Tongan tatatau is a representation of Tongan society and the journey of the  Tongan people’s past, present and future. I found it quite hard to do this because I didn't know that much about the Tongan tattoos. I enjoyed doing this activity because  I got to learn new things about the Tongan tatau. An interesting fact I found out about the tatatau Is that  how the tatatau represented the Tongan people's loyalty and love to their family and the new responsibilities they had to support this activity was fun and cool. I hope we get to do another activity like this in the future.
