Diary WW1

LI: To retell an event in history through the fictional eyes of someone who was there.

For this assignment we are writing a diary about the Anzac war and recorded it in vids.

We watched a video about Hami Grace’s diary and explored a website called “Walking with the ANZACs.” It’s a site with lots of informations about ANZAC dairy. We got some inspiration from that. So we decided to write it based on the experiences of the soldiers who were at Gallipoli. After that we recorded on the Google vids.

I find this activity is interesting, because I learned something new.

 

Time Travelers Podcast ft Samuel Marsden

The activity proved to be both enjoyable and informative, offering an opportunity to expand our knowledge.

 

 

The Kuaka Information Paragraph

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.

 

 

Mapping the Migratory Flight of the Kuaka

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.

Kuaka : The Marathon Bird

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.
