Maungarei the mountain was awakened from her nap from hearing the tribe’s people sing along, making her so angry and mad that she exploded in anger, making rage and anger inside her take over her as the tribe’s people ran and the animals followed along to as the other maunga mountains around her run away as she released her anger, making other mountains hide and away from maungarei screaming out “she’s gonna blow!” as she fumed in agner so much that a stream of smoke came out her head. But then she started feeling alone and lonely and then she said “where are u going?” she cried. Then she found out that her actions affect others around her, leaving her alone and sad and regretting it. She cried herself to a deep slumber vowing to never ever get angry at anyone or anything ever again intel next time.

Today in LS2 we did Literacy and Inquiry. Our task was to create a Podcast with Samuel Marsden who was a Missionary in the 1820’s. One of us was pretending to be Samuel Marsden and the others were asking questions about what he did. It was fun to do and it was also interesting because we learnt new things during the podcast.                                   

Today in LS2 we did a infografic about the kuaka bird. Something interesting I found out about the Kuaka bird was how they can fly in the sky like forever from going from new zeland to alaska. From this DLO i did i see how much the kuaka bird can do.

Today in LS2, we did a dot to dot of the kuaka bird. This helped me learn more about the kuaka, like how it flies and how long it can fly without food or water. What I found most interesting was that it can fly from New Zealand to Alaska without food or water.

In class today we had a job to make a story with pictures our teacher took. The pictures show what we saw on a walk. My favorite part was the nice trees and flowers. The sun coming up made it a great day!

Our challenge today was to co-construct ways we can make the most of our learning time in LS2. We thought about what we expected to happen so we could make teh most of our learning time then thought about what our teachers expected. I collaborated with my group which I enjoyed because i did it with my friends. This activity was fun  because we collaborated with other groups and worked together.

Our Year 7/8 camp was at Kokako Lodge in Hunua. Our challenge today was to use our smart searching skills to find out about the kokako bird and create an infographic to share the facts we researched in our own words Something I found interesting about the kokako bird was how smart it is by watching other animals eat before they eat.

To use the information in the diary extract to create an image of what we think Samuel Marsden saw when he sailed down the Tamaki awa.

At camp we had lots of challenge activities to try. Our challenge in with our poem was to chose our words carefully so that we painted a clear picture of what we were describing in the mind of our readers. Unique and I have described what it was like to be on the high beam. We chose this challenge because i have a fear of heights and i will go on the high beam to not be of heights anymore.
