Tatau DLO

This week we had a choice to do a DLO on kilikiti or tatau. I worked with Eric to complete this DLO. In this DLO it tells people about the origin and meaning of the tatau. There is also some information on it about the kilikiti. One interesting thing I found out about was that a tool needed was made out of shells.

Summarizing DLO

I was working with Mathias, Tiava and AJ for this task. First we listened to a you tube video about Samoa and its dances. We then made this DLO and had to write down 20 important words. Next we had to chose the 6 most important words. Then we had to write a summery using these words.

Bedmas DLO

For this task I had to show bedmas. I learnt that bedmas stands for brackets, exponents, division, multiplication, addition and subtraction. I found this bedmas easy. The first thing that you have to do is brackets then exponents then multiplication and finally division.

Tech

Today we started our new rotation at tech. We are making clocks with Mrs Ferguson. First we had to make a collage of the things that we like. I put on things like The Flash, Naruto and other things. Next we had to make a drawing and put on the types of clocks such as digital clocks, hand clocks and wall clocks. Next week we will finish off our work and chose who the clock will be for.

NYLD

Yesterday the school leaders went to the Vodafone Event Center for national young leaders day. We had guest's come and talk to us about different things. The guests were Arron Jackson, Daniel Flynn, Adam and Duane and lots more. The speakers were really helpful and inspiring. My favourite speaker was Daniel Flynn because he did something that seemed impossible.

Metaphor DLO

For this task I had to put some metaphors in order. I did this for writing. We were matching and correcting the metaphors. Next we had to highlight the metaphor in a sentence. I enjoyed this task because it was kind of challenging for me. A metaphor is like a simile but a simile uses like or as.

Dance

Today for dance we were learning about free flow and bound flow. The first thing that we did was warm up. This week we used Mrs Linda, Ma'ata and Magenta demonstrations for our warm up. Next we watched a video that told us about free flow which means moving like we don't have bones and bound flow which means moving from muscles. We then learned about twisted shapes, straight shapes, curved shapes, angular shapes, high, medium and low levels. Next we found our partner and did a dance that involved a circle, triangle and square shape. We used a piece of music called Oxygene by the composer name Jean-Michel Jarre.
