LI: To understand that everyone has a role to play when we are working in groups

In LS2 we learn best when we learn with and from ecah other what your responsibility as a group member is How working in a group helped you understand more about the kuaka Why talking to others about your learning is important because you can learn infomation you never knew before, Something I enjoyed was learning new info and facts about Kuaka from my class mates.

 

Samuel Marsden

LI: To use our smart searching skills to find out who Samuel Marsden was and what he is known for.

We used our smart searching skills to research facts about Samuel Marsden.who is samuel marsden is you say? Samuel Marsden was a priest of the Church of England and an missionary who came to Australia (New south wales) in 1794 and later became interested in the Māori people of New Zealand. and we did this task because we had learnt about Samuel Marsden and what he well known for , To make sure our facts were correct we used three different websites. The websites I used were Wikpedia, google and Nz history Something interesting I found out about Samuel marsden was he had a close relationship with the Maori
I learnt its is important to use my own words because I learn best when I use my own words instead of copying and pasting.

Pepeha

LI: To let others know who I am so they can make connections to me and my place in the world.

Our challenge today was to write and record our pepeha to introduce ourselves.I found this intersting and amazing because I got to learn about how my family migrated to New Zealand and ther cultural background

Kauri Dieback

LI: To understand what Kauri dieback is and how it spreads

Our challenge today was to use the links provided and our own smart searching skills to find out what Kauri dieback is and what we need to do to try and prevent this from spreading. We need to know about this so that we do our part to keep our Kauri safe when we go on hike at camp. I worked with Jaeliyah and something we found interesting that phytophthora Agathidicida (kauri dieback disease) is a fungus that infects and kills kauri. It spreads through soil movement, including: on footwear and other clothing and gear. on vehicles driven in affected areas. Even animals like:Pigs,dogs etc can trigger kauri-dieback disease.

Evolution of the NZ Flag

LI: To understand the story behind our flag

Our challenge today was to create a collaborative presentation that reflects the story behind our NZ flag. We did this by looking at how our flag has changed over time. Something I found interesting was the flag of New Zealand used by boats or ships as a form of signal. Read on for the meanings of flags and more information on historical flags. Flags have been used by boats to signal one another since the time boats and ships made voyages to the sea.
