LI: To write and say our pepeha.
To help us get to know each other we have written our pepehas. This allows us to make connections and form friendships with our classmates. A pepeha is introducing who you are, where you and your ancestors from and where you grew up. For example: I am Burmese and my ancestors are from Myanmar.
I found this activity interesting and fun because I learnt how to say who I am in a different language.
For this activity I needed to create 4 images only using and rotating shapes from tangram. I created a football, kangaroo, shark and a house. Out of these 4 images ny favourite image to create was the football one because football is my favourite sport and it was fun and challenging to do this image.
For one of the Summer Learning Journey activities I needed to create a background and my own avatar. This task was inspired by Where’s Wally. I enjoy reading Where’s Wally books because it takes my mind of anything else and I am focused on find Wally and reading it with younger ones is fun because we laugh at the photos, and we get to be with each other.
My superhero is Hayma, who lives in the beautiful land of Myanmar, Yangon. Her abilities are that she can control nature, can talk to animals, and can shape shift into animal such as, tigers, leopards, eagles and etc. Her weakness is plastic, chemicals, fire, and Thuzar (nemesis). She has a nemesis which is Thuzar. Her backstory is that, she was walking around the forest when she saw a gem with green fog inside a clear prism. She casually grabs the gem and holds it. With excitement she takes it back to her home village and all she sees is shockness in her family eyes. She then feels a chill down her spine, and asked what is wrong with this gem? Her family said “that gem is only allowed to be picked up by people who have special powers” That is where Hayma became alive at the age of 12.
I completed a CARE Award activitiy. The CARE awards are confidence, attitude, respect, and excellence. I have completed a respect activity. The purpose of this is to get a badge. My first activity was about showcasing my life at Panmure Bridge School.
I enjoyed this task because it made me rethink my amazing times at Panmure Bridge School.
LI: To create a comparison of the before and after experiences at camp.
Before camp, we wrote down what we would achieve at camp by using the acronym TRUMP. The meaning of Trump is These 5 words help us to remember when to use them in every activity. When we came back from camp, we wrote down how we used the key competencies for our belongings and in the activities.
I found this activity interesting because I thought of when I used the five words when I was at camp.
LI: To read the text, gather sort, graph and analyse the data
Our maths group created a diagram which shows the top six rivers in Auckland from smallest to largest. We used our collaborative skills to find out the data of each river. We put these rivers in this order from shortest to longest and we used our knowledge to come to the conclusion on what river is the longest out of the 6 rivers in Auckland, which is the Wairoa River at 65 kilometers in length.
I found this activity amazing because my group had a given role in this task and we worked together to find out the conclusion which was the longest river in the Auckland region.

LI: To identify the main ideas in the text
This week we have been learning how to find and collaboratively decide on the main idea in a text by negotiating. We read the text Lester and Clyde. This was a text about the consequences of pollution. Our group think the main idea was pollution always has a cause and effect towards you and the environment.
We found this activity interesting because we learnt how to start sentences with question stems and negotiated on what ideas are important. For example: This reminds me of ….. is a question stem or sentence starter.
LI: To build words from a base word using prefixes and suffixes.
This week we have been learning how words are build from a base word using suffixes and prefixes. A base word is a complete word by itself that changes when you add a prefix or suffix. Our challenge is to see how many words we could make from one base word. In this DLO the word we used was ‘excite’.
We found this activity interesting because I learnt about prefixes, base words, suffixes, and how they are used and where they are placed.
