WW1 Transporter Ship

This week me Matthew, Joel and Nidhi worked together creating this DLO. This DLO tells us about the troopship or transport ship that was used in World War one. While reaching about these information we have found out a lot of interesting facts. All of us worked collaboratively to gathering these information. Making this DLO was a lot of fun and we have learnt a lot of things.

7 Continents Facts

Did you know that south America is the 4th largest continent. With our partners We learnt about the 7 continents in the world and the placing of each continent of how large each is. learning about different continents surprised us because of these fact that we did not know, but as we didn't know about different facts we still knew about our own facts that we know about the 7 continents.

Collage//Camp//Kokako Lodge

This week our task was to create a collage of what we did at camp. So we added photos of what we did each day on day one we went hiking I didn't find it fun because I was so tired. On day two it was our first rotation task and I started by doing archery then our next task was kayaking and it was fun it was my favorite task that whole day. Then we had Raft building it was amazing and hope we can do it again. On day three I did high ropes and I was so scared when I got on the beam but I mange to do it so I was proud of my self then we did and then we did two more activity which were really fun then we did pancake race in our groups which were fun and yummy. Then we had our camp concert it was the best night we spent at camp I was in the baby shark group which we did the the baby shark and it was fun and funny. Then the next day we got to choose what to put in our sandwich for lunch. After we packed our stuff we got on the bus and went swimming and it was fun we had lunch there and our sandwiches were yum. Then we went to school and waited for our parents to pick us up and my mum was happy to see me.

Kokako Lodge//Siri

 

Today, we have been given a challenge for writing by our teacher Mrs Anderson. Our challenge was to write in exactly 50 words, a response that Siri (An automated program on Apple devices) would give us if we asked it "Why Kokako Lodge is the greatest place to take year 7 and 8's on camp?" Although Mrs Anderson wanted to make this more of a challenge. So what we could do is gain points by using different Language features that would give us 5 points each. If every feature was used, then you could gain a total of 40 points. Although for another 5 points, you needed to make sure that everyone in your group was working together, and that a learning conversation was taking place. If you had exactly 50 words, and you used different references, you could even have 100 points total! Once you finished writing, you needed to digitally create a Siri conversation showing Siri's answer. The final step was to create a Screencastify that had us voicing over the whole conversation. For this activity, I worked with Julian, Alex, and Jack. We had a lot of fun, and enjoyed recording the most.
