For this Summer Learning Journey; I’ve structured a sea water animal called the Red Lionfish using Google Draw. I have chosen this sea water species because it contains poison at the base of their spines. When confronted by a hazard, this type of fish releases the dorsal fins and faces the toxic spines in front of the cause of the hostility towards it.
I found this activity really enjoyable because I get to make the Red Lionfish using tools in Google Draw.
LI: To create a 3D image that depicts a moment in time.
This is my voiceover about the Polynesian Panthers and the Dawn Raids, the Dawn Raids seems to be stated as the most racist act towards Pacific people and has been going around since 1974-1979. Since then, the Polynesian Panthers were formed and structured as allies and a team, protesting against the corruption from that year of time.
I found this activity really enjoyable because we get to research about world from all around the world. (alongside the dioramas that are based off the chosen events we have picked.)
LI: To understand how the time moves.
For this task, we learnt how the time changes from time to time. This first step is to show how the sun and moon shifts the Earth from morning to night with the use of PixVerse.ai. One part of Earth facing the sun makes us face daytime, whilst the other half faces nighttime, as the moon on the opposite side of the sun makes the others face the dark. This pattern continues on and on without stopping, which is called the alternation of day and night. Our Earth spins around from both sides at a time (with the help of its axis) In order for our planet to make a full circle, it was estimated to be about 24 hours to make its full spin.
I enjoyed this activity because we get to learn the process of how the day and night shifts across different places.
LI: To explore how our ancestors measured time
For this task, we were gathered into a group of three, and was seperated to do three different task for each person. The options were; Sundial, Clepsydra, and Hourglass. As you can see, the Google Vid shown on the top of the paragraph explains each of every detail for the clocks that carries on with our voiceovers. An interesting fact I learnt about the Sundial is that it can only work on sunny days and not at nighttime nor cloudy weathers.
I found this activity interesting because we get to learn more about the clocks from the past.
LI: To understand the story within the poem.
For this task, we made a DLO of Waltzing Matilda. The paragraph represents the events that happened in the poem of Waltzing Matilda. For the full story, there was a swagman located in the billabong, he steals a sheep and was caught by the troopers. But when he was cornered, he made a decision to drown in the lake because he knew the outcome if he were to be put in jail, as poverty was inside there.
Something I found interesting about this text was how the swagman chose death over being caught.
LI: To understand both sides of an perspective
LI: To Making Sense of Unfamiliar Text
For this task, we learnt about the Shearer’s Strike; The Shearer’s Strike first took place in a farm where people worked there to earn money. The problem was the fair price of payment, where there lies the Pastoralists, they were the people that owned the farm and was the cause of the problem of not paying the fair amount of cash. Shearers there thought it was unfair and made a decision to stop working; thinking it could solve the problem of cash. Unfortunately the outcome of their decision only led them to where they started; in which they never got their fair pay. A few decided to return back home and ended up with an outcome of returning back to the farm, since the lack of money prevents them from affording food, charges, or any resources that can be bought with cash.
Something I found interesting about this text was their outcome; in which is the worker’s process were risky, they still didn’t get their fair pay as the ending.
LI: To understand poetry can transform everyday life into something meaningful. Poets use various techniques to make this happen, creating specific feelings and moods for the reader.
In order to make images and record ourselves we used Adobe Express and Google Vids to help us for this task. Hone Tuwhare’s poem is about ‘Rain’, And Hone Tuwhare is a widely respected man for his speeches. To complete this assesment is to read and structure the words carefully in a similiar tone in addition to how he declares it.
I enjoyed this activity because I get to read Hone Tuwhare’s poem and structure an image using AI.
This is a poster of Malala Yousafzai, she was a brave woman who protested against the Talibans who went against women to go to school and get educated, but she herself believed in both justice and equality. That day when she was about 16/15 years old, she was shot by the Taliban all because she supported girls to get educated. Gladly she recovered from her injury from a various amount of people supporting her all the way her surgery.
I enjoyed this activity because we get to make a poster about Malala Yousafzai.
For this task we learnt about adding fractions. In order to add them up properly we all keep the denominator the same and never add it up, the only thing that we will be adding is the numerator. You will also be requiring addition and multiplication to answer these questions.
I enjoyed this activity because we get to use a combination of addition and multiplication!
For maths, my group and I structured word problems that has a connection with the Tongan Language Week. There are 7 slides and 10 questions in total to answer, and we make sure the questions are Tongan Language Week related. The following questions followed includes subtracting, addition, division and multiplication.
Something I found interesting about this task is how we decided to make up the questions using our knowledge.
