Simple Machines DLO by June, Courtney, Juanita and Afu

June, Courtney, Juanita and Afu created this DLO to show how their smart searching skills helped them find information. The purpose of making this is to understand what is a simple machine are and what they used in the past. We created this by using Google Presentation. June's favourite fact is that a screw can be able to hold parts of other machines together.

Tiare and Juanita created this presentation after we took part in the Shake Out earthquake drill. It tells you information about what they did, what they experienced and why it is important.  

Juanita Pays it Forward

Paying it forward is our homework we need to pay it forward each night this week. We had to pay it forward to a family member. I payed it forward last night by making my mum a cup of tea. It made my mum feel really special because I did it without her asking me too. I felt really proud of myself because she could rely on me to make her feel relaxed.

As you can see this is about my homework. It is about me paying it forward to my mum. She really appreciated the effort I put in. I felt good because she has been relaxing.

Maori Gods

 

Maori gods (Atua) are an important part of Maori religion (Whakapono). These are some of the DLO's created to share our learning.

Juanita's Recount

On Wednesday Graham Dodd, an artist came to PBS. We meet him in the hall. We were really lucky to have an art session with  him.  He gave us some tasks and showed all of us new skills. Shading dark to light to make it stand out more. I learnt that shading make the picture more 3D and less 2D. Hills are actually light blue to show distance but appear green when you walk closer and closer. I think that our pictures went well and they look really nice. Our painting shows the maori land and a multi cultural side( town). It also was fun because it took the whole block then we went straight to lunch.
