we have created a DLO about how to honour the treaty of waitangi. it was very fun to learn about, we have worked as a group which made it alot easier to figure out, there are many reasons how to honour Treaty of waitangi, heres one for you, By learning the maori language and alot more awnsers. something i enjoyed was writing about this because it was very entertaining.

Our task was to use the signing of the treaty of Waitangi photo, and we added some speech bubbles and thought bubbles, we also had to try and think about what the people thought while the treaty of Waitangi was signed.

this week we have created a DLO about Dame Naida Glavish, she is a braze lady that said Kia Ora, her courageous stand for Te Reo Māori during the 1984 “kia ora” incident, the prime ministers has help Naida when her call was heard, Dame Naida Glavish is a Celebration for her couragous and bravess. something i enjoyed about this is learning about it because she was a strong women.

We have created a DLO about Multiplacation, it was kinda hard but we started working together which made it alot easier. we used the algorithim way to sovle this anwser. This DLO is to help people how to understand Multiplication in the algorithim way, something i found enjoyed about the work is working as a group.

For Maths my group, group 2 created a DLO that shows others how to do algorithm subtraction. After we learned how to do algorithm subtraction something our teacher, Mrs Fisi’ahi tells us is to not worry about how big the number or how many numbers or subtracting it doesn’t matter because its always the same strategy that you use. Something I liked about creating this was helping the ones who didn’t know understand how to do algorithm addition.

The annex was quiet except for our hearts skipping a beat as we heard rattling at the book case.  The echo of the clock chiming, feeds the nervousness in us, growing by each chime.   Persecuted  by Germans everyday forced us to hide away in this secret annex that was very cramped, old and basic.  Consisting of dull colours from the floors to walls with scares of the past,some containing the passage of time with centimeters.  We needed to be very silent during the daytime making sure we wouldn’t be caught or we’ll  be sent away to a concentration camp  where the Germans take and make lives miserable for the Jewish.  Everyday was like the day before, sleeping, eating, repeating and fearing every second of it,  yet Anne Frank recorded all of it and  her experiences in her diary.  

Food wasn’t any better, as it was limited, repetitive and we relied so much on helpers to get it from point A to point B. Which for them was a very risky job because if they were found they would have been eliminated on the spot.  Soon enough food was falling out of reach we needed to ration everything,  the longer the war the shorter the food.  We wouldn’t have food to fill us to the brim and most of the time we’ll be starving.  

we are Reading a Diary Called: Frank Anne: and with the help with Gemini it was alot easier then expected, we worked in groups to finish this amazing project, something i enjoyed was learning about this activity because it was very enjoyable to read, something i found intresting was the annex because the it might of been cramped inside there but it was still very welcoming.

This week we have made a DLO about Algorithim Addition so we can explain to you how to do Algorithim, for this DLO we had to be very specific because it for people who wants to try and learn much more about it,Something i enjoyed about this activity is working as a group, something i found intresting is Algoritim way but it was stil easy to figure it out.

This Friday we went to tech. we had groups and diffrent activities. Each group had a fun activity.  My Group ( Year 8 A) Had sewing. its started off with some writing then we went to the fun part. we had to be carful with the sewing macine but then it started to get easy. they were diffrent types of modes and went it started to get easy and started to go faster and it helped me get used to the fast speed.

The start of the year we have created a Vision Board, A Vision Board is where you put your achivements and what you are wanting to do. We added images of what we wanna do. Then we added the words “Agent Of Change”. its means to set goal and what you want to acomplish.  Arfter i added all the logos. i made it neat and i added a photo of my self. Here is my Vision Board.
