Our task was to make a DLO that Shows people what Great learning looks like in LS2. One thing that I liked about this task was that I could collaborate With other’s to get different ideas that could work on DLO.

After Our panmure basin walk we all came back to school and we were all challenged to trace a Taniwha, But the fun part for this task is that we could trace the Taniwha and we could use our imagination to help see what imagen what the Taniwha Looked like. One thing that I liked about this task was that I got to work with friends and we could give each other Jobs to do on the tracing.

Our task was to research about the North West Esat South Tree Octopus, but with a twist we could only use the one site that Had all of the facts about Tree Octopus. One thing about this task that I will never forget is that don’t always trust the one site with all of the facts that you find because they might now make sence to other people and some times you might not know what the different words mean and always use more than one site if you want to find some infomation for a topic. In the end the topic was just  made up topic but it had a real site with information.

For inquiry this week we’ve learnt and discussed as a class how-to take notes like a caveman, why? because writing like a caveman can help us avoid copying down full sentences word for word, and to separate critical ideas from supporting details.  For this task we needed to make a DLO that is able to explain to someone how to take notes like a caveman, take a look at our DLO and our examples for a deeper understanding!

Today we were challenged to make something called a vision board to help me reach my big goals for the year 2026. Basically, it’s a board or a poster that I put pictures, words, and symbols on. These images and words represent what I want to accomplish by that time. The idea is that seeing these things every day keeps me focused and inspired, reminding me of what I’m working toward. It’s like a visual map of my dreams and plans, so I don’t forget or lose track of them as time goes on.

LI: To make a DLO about the treaty of Waitangi and how we honor the treaty.

We explored the ways we still honour the Treaty of Waitangi today. The Treaty of Waitangi is important because in 1840 it create a agreement and partnership between Maori and British. The British signed the Treaty of Waitangi with Māori chiefs. The British promised to protect Māori rights to their lands and treasures, while in return gaining the right to buy land.  Today it is important because it is the treaty of New Zealand representing the releation ship between the Maori’s and British.

Something I found interesting was that the  Henry Williams and his son Edward translated was able to write the English draft of the treaty into Māori overnight on 4 February.

Today for this activity we were challenged to make a DLO about what were the Maori’s and British saying and thinking during the Treaty of Waitangi in the 1840’s. We had to use thought bubbles and speech bubbles and put texts in them to see what me and my partner thought on what the Maori and British were saying in their own language. When I did my DLO I decided to make it cartooned by using Cartoonify AI which means it can make any of your photos animated with many different animated styles to choose from. What we also got to do is design our thought and speech bubbles with light colours and drop shadow behind the thought and speech bubbles so we can see everything.

To inspire me to complet my goals I made a vision board.What I want to achieve and the pictures and words I chose will help keep me motivated. I want to tell a great story for 2027! some thing that I liked about this task was that we all got to  think about all of the goals that we want to achieve next year and the years coming.

For this task were reserching about three different topics, Our first topic was about a sun dial ,water Clock and a hour clock and to put it all togther on one Google Vid.
