Pay Gap? NO WAY! - Summer Learning Journey Day 2 ( Activity 2 )

It is day 2 for the teaser week of the Summer Learning Journey. For this second activity I was to talk about weather or not it is fair or the men sport team to get paid more than the women sport team. I think that it is totally not fair. Women try their best in all sports like the women black ferns rugby team. They have won the Women Rugby World Cup 5 times in a row. They also have just turned into a professional rugby team. They have tried so hard and to make it worse, they get less paid then men. I think that this should change. What do you think?.

Similie - Summer Learning Journey Day 2 ( Activity 1 )

This week is the teaser week for the Summer Learning Journey. It starts on the 16th of December ( Monday ) and finishes on the 28th of January. It is day 2 now and for the first activity I am to create different similes but I need to be creative. A simile is a sentence that include the word "like" or "as". Here are my 4 simile sentences:

• The moon is as bright as the stars
• My drink was as cold like the Ice
• Her shoes were like a clean sponge
• His legs were as long like a giraffe's neck.

Big Friendly Giant - Summer Learning Jounrey

This week is the teaser week for the Summer Learning Journey. LS2 have decided to give it a go and have practise with the activity's but this will give s no points. For this activity I was to draw a image of the BFG ( Big Friendly Giant ). The I was to write a short explanation about what I think BFG looks like. This story was written by Ronald Dahl and the story was also made into a movie. 

Pepeha - Summer Learning Journey Day 1 ( Activity 2 )

This week is the teaser week for the Summer Learning Journey. It is day 1 and I have completed activity 2. For this activity our challenge was to create our own Pepeha. a Pepeha is like a mihi that tells other people more about you. I have also created a video of myself saying my Pepeha. For the background I used a picture of Moce Falls which is a river in my Island. I have also added in a drawn picture of myself.

Lorde - Summer Learning Journey Activity 1 ( Teaser Week )

This week LS2 have been working together with LS1 and room 5 to practise the Summer Learning Journey. It starts on the 16th of December Friday but we wanted to have practice and try out  the teaser week activities. For this activity we were to create a informational poster about Lorde. In my DLO I have added facts about her. The fact I found most interesting was that her real name was Ella Yelich-O’Connor but on stage she calls herself " Lorde ". At the moment she is 23 years old and when she was 13 years old her first record deal was offered to her. I also learnt that her best friend is Taylor swift which is also a singer. Her mother ( Sonja Yelich ) is Croatian and her father ( Vic O'Connor ) is Irish.

Mayflower - Letter Animation

Every year a special event is held in the United States. Thanks giving is a national holiday that is celebrated in the United States, Canda and many others. Last week LS2 focused on why and how thanksgiving was important. Together in groups we worked collabritively together to finish this animation. After reading a site of information we were challenged to retell the story in 5 sentences. Therefore, we created an animation to show our retold story. 

Market Day Evaluation

On Friday Panmure Bridge School had their first ever Gala. It was a great day and many people went around the school buying hand made things. Instead of using real money to buy things we exchanged our money for tokens. For example $10 will give you 10 tokens. LS2 created hand made rainbow crayons. To do this we went around the school collecting/asking for broken crayons. We then melted them and put them into different shaped moulds. Everyone liked it and brought as much as they wanted. It was $1 for each crayon which we think was just priced right. We managed to sell out our stock. Our gross profit was $96.00, Our cost to buy things were $8.00 and our net profit was $88.00. I think that our idea was viable because the colours were attractive, it was cheap and it was at no labour cost. Maybe next time I think that our market should be on the courts so it would be easier for people to get to different stalls.
