Cultural Art: Texas
LI. To create a piece of cultural art.
Today this art was inspired by Raku Inoue. For this task we had to go outside and collect leaves, petals and twigs and create our own culture pattern. For my art I created a dragonfly I collected 4 leaves one sharp stick, 2 twigs and 4 flowers.
This task for me was really hard because I had to go outside and try to find sticks and leaves. But at the same time I enjoyed making my own design using sticks and leaves.
Tatau: David
LI: To create a DLO that tells others about tatau.
Tattooing has played an important part in many cultures over time. Our challenge was to use our smart searching skills to find out about traditional tattooing in our own culture.
I found it quite hard to research because Myanmar is a weathly place but it does have the information that I need but sometimes not
I enjoyed it because I get to talk about how my home country make and do the tattos and the history of it.
An interesting fact I found out about the tatau is that womans have tattoos that most.
Kapa Haka: kruse
LI: To learn the teachings of our tupuna (ancestors) and the history of New Zealand's native people and their land.
Ls2 boys went to the Auckland museum to learn about Maori weapons, carvings in the wharenui, 7 taiaha moves and how to do the haka with a Taiaha. First we all went to the halll to talk about the chellenges and a video about going over the rules when we arrive to the museum.
On our way to the museum we practised the lyrics to the haka.
When we arrived to the museum we had to answer 6 questions about the museum. once we answered the 6 questions matua Ngarimu & matua Kingy added more questions to the chellenge. The 10 questions were: the name of the mountain that the Auckland museum was on, the name of the museum in maori 2 short weapons and 2 long weapons and the name of the patterns in the museum.
We then learnt 7 Taiaha moves and learnt the Maori haka using a Taiaha.
I enjoyed this trip and would like to learn a more about maori weapons, carvings and other treasures.
Tatau: Leon
L.I: To create a DLO that tells others about tatau
Today I did one of the activites that Mrs Anderson put up for us. I did the Tatau challenge. Basically what I had to do in this challenge was research some information about the Tatau. Some things I learnt about the Tatau was that its name was created by two fijian women. The traditional tattoo represents something that they are resepcted for. Some of them are like status, power, honor and pride. Those are only a few but there's more. The samoan people who have no traditonal tattoo's are called telefua/telenoa which means naked. One of the most used tattoo's are called the pe'a. The pe'a is only used on men. Sometimes on younger kids, specifically on kids who started their puberty. The pe'a goes from the waist to the knees. Each section represnts the person who has the Pe'a, their culture and family. The most popular female tattoo is called the Malu. It goes from the upper thighs and the knees below. I enjoyed this task because I got to learn more about my own culture and the origin of the Tatau.
TEEL Paragraphs: Tanisha
LI: To use powerful words and transitional vocabulary to make our writing more interesting
This week we have been learning to use transitional vocabulary to help us link ideas between the sentences in our paragraph. The transitional words are like the doors we walk through and to show how this works in writing we have highlighted them. I enjoyed this activity because we got to try using new words in our writing and we worked collaboratively so we got to share our ideas.
T.E.E.L Paragraph: Heavenly
L.I: To understand how TEEL paragraphs can help us structure our information and ideas in a paragraph.
We use paragraphs in our writing to expand on an idea. In LS2 we use the TEEL acronym (title, elaborate, evidence and link) to help us structure our thinking. The example on my DLO shows what Topic Sentence means , Elaborate,Evidence and Linking how and why I found this task really fun and enjoying to do as I learned new things and understood what to do. I also wrote in my DLO what TEEL means and what it does to help us understand writing paragraphs.
Sporcle Challenge: Liletina
L.I To create an DLO about the Sporcle Challenge.
The DLO showing above was worked collaboratively with my partner. We wrote what we enjoyed and what the challenge is. We first went onto the website and read the introductions to understand what the game is about and How we can play. We also then find quizzes that gives us more understanding into learning what the topic is about.
Distance Learning - Cultural Art: Ong
LI: to keep our learning going.
This is our first distance learning challenge of the week, we could choose any two challenge on our distance learning class site. I chose to do the Cultural Art, inspired by Raku Inoue. For this cultural art we were supposed to go in our backyard and find things we could make insect or bugs out of. I chose to do a butterfly, because while I was finding things in my backyard one landed on me. to make this butterfly I used some flowers which I thought would look good on this butterfly. What I found fun was getting to explore my garden.
Tatau: Afa
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 tatau 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 tatau Is that how the tatau 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.
Tatau: Juel
LI: To create a DLO that tells others about tatau
Tattooing has played an important part in many cultures over time. Our challenge was to use our smart searching skills to find out about traditional tattooing in our own culture. This DLO is showcasing the History and the Tradition of the tatau and about why people get them and were it was first discovered and the origin of the word tatau. tatau is the Samoan word for Tattoo and is worn by men and women
I found it quite hard to look for information and photos of the tatau and the tools used as there were not as many articles and photos that were about the tatau.
I enjoyed this activity becuase it was really fun learning about the Samoan Tatau and I found it interesting to learn bout how it came to Samoa.
An interesting fact I found out about the tatau is that the word tatau is from the polynesian language and the word tatau originate from the tapping sound of the tools
Virtual Adventure | Distance Learning: Lukah
LI: To plan a virtual trip around the world
Our challenge was to create a map using google/mymaps and drop pins on the locations visited. The next part of this challenge was to find the capital city of each place and include it in the information in the pin. I found it quite hard to find countries I want to go to because I don't have many places I would want to go. I enjoyed finding out the capitals of the different countries I picked.
Virtual Adventure: Chris
Our activity was to create a map of all the places and destinations we would like to go to but the places had to be the capital of that country. I myself only included 5 different countries or capitals, and the majority of them were Asian countries. The countries I included were South Korea, Japan, Thailand, The UK, and Singapore.
This activity was fun doing because I got to explore these countries, and my favorite country out of those 5 were Thailand.
P.E Infinity Tag & Stuck in the Mud: Bella
LI: To use our stamina and apply our sports abilities to a game of Stuck in the Mud.
Yesterday, as of every Thursday, the year 7 and 8's were seperated and each group went outside onto the court for a game of Stuck in the Mud.
First, we had a short discussion with the P.E coach about the rules. The taggers are given cones so that people know they are taggers.
To play Stuck in the Mud, the taggers must tag others with a cone. Every other player must avoid being tagged. When a player is tagged, they must stay in one spot and do starjumps until someone high-tens that person.
Next, we played a game of Infinity Tag. In infinity tag, everyone is a tagger and they must try to tag other people before they get tagged. When they are tagged, that person can either do push-ups or frog jumps until someone frees them by doing a high-ten with them.
I enjoyed this session of P.E and learning how to play a new sport as it helps me in the future by improving my knowledge as well as allowing me to play stuck in the mud and infinity tag.
