LI : To interview Samuel Marsden using Adobe Podcast.
For this project, we completed an inquiry into literacy. Our task was to create a podcast involving Samuel Marsden, who was a missionary in the 1820s. One team member assumed the character of Samuel Marsden and the other team members asked questions about what he did. The activity proved to be both enjoyable and informative, offering an opportunity to expand our knowledge.
LI: To create an infographic that tells others about the migration of the kuaka.
For this assignment, In a group we created a Kuaka birds information paragraph. Something interesting I found out about the Kuaka was they can fly from NZ to Alaska without stopping. From this DLO I can see they mostly lived in sandy places near water and wet sand that has been soaked wet by water.
I enjoyed the activity, because I acquire a knowledge of Kuaka birds now.
LI: To use Google My Maps to show the migratory flight path of the Kuaka.
For this assignment, we are mapping the migratory flight of the Kuaka. The reason why Kuaka birds travels so far is because they have many breeding grounds. These areas include Australia and Alaska, among others. Kuaka prefer wet/damp places to migrate in. They like to live near river, sea, etscetera……. The total distance between New Zealand and Alaska is 11,929.28 kilometers in total. Do you know that the word Kuaka in Maori means Bar-tailed Godwit/Birds of Mystery.

LI: To understand the concept of visual storytelling.
For this assignment, we insert pictures to create a storytelling for Riverwalk. The first image shows that the classes was crossing the road. The remaining images are just playground, group photos and landscape.
I enjoyed the riverwalk, because it’s was fun to playing with my friend.
LI: To draw the lines between the words to show how the connections you have made.
For this assignment, we learned about Kuaka birds. A nickname for Kuaka birds is Bar-tailed Godwit. We read the story and predict what the story is about. I predict it’s going to be about the kuaka, because there’s a picture of kuaka birds flying in the sky. We make “dot to dot connections” about the kuaka as well. For example, the travel and navigation connections are that they fly in flocks.
After answering the questions and gathering all the new infomations. We added more infomation to the “dot-to-dot connections” and highlighted them in different colors.
I enjoyed the activity, because I acquire a knowledge of Kuaka birds now.
LI: To understand that everyone has a role to play when we are working in groups.
For this assignment, we used our team work and learned about the Kuaka. (The Marathon Bird) An nickname for Kuaka birds is Bar-tailed-godwit. Their avaervge speed in 80 km per hour.Teamwork is important because it allows us to share ideas, envolved /support each other, and solve problems more easily. We engaged in discussions to work together. We also define words to have an understanding of their meaning.
I enjoy this activity, because I learned something new.
LI: To create a collage of images or short movie that reflects my time at camp.
Our camp at Kokako Lodge in Hunua was fun to spend time there! My collage are these photos because it’s a good memory to remember with friend. My favourite part of camp was the pancake race, because it was really fun and creative to make the pancakes with my group.
I enjoy this activity , because it was joyful.
LI: To use our smart searching skills.
For this assignment, we used our smart searching skills to create an informative paragraph on the North Island Kokako bird. To gather all the information we need to find three links about Kokako birds, diet, habitat, interesting facts, and scientific name. We used different kinds of online resources. It is believed that the Kokako is an extinct bird. However, there is a belief that a small population may still exist on the South Island and Stewart Island.
I enjoy this activity, because I learned something new.
LI: To write a poem that describes a moment in time.
For this project, we collaborated in pairs to describe what it felt like to paddle closer to Hunua Falls. We selected our words with thoughtfulness to describe the image in our minds. We used Wordhippo to help us with emotional words. For instance, another word for beautiful is glamorous. We chose this challenge because it was fascinating to try.
I enjoy this activity, because I learned something new.
LI: 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.
For this project, With a pair we used Adobe Express to create a representation of what Samuel Marsden observed when he first arrived in New Zealand. Our design includes the Waka, a significant cultural symbol. This was due to the fact that in the 18th century, Maori people used them to cross the river. To match the timeline we added more trees and cottages.
