ANZAC Facts

LI: To use the information to identify three interesting facts and explain why I think these are interesting.
Today I created a chart of facts that I found interesting. These facts were based on ANZAC since its a couple of days from now. The three facts I chose were interesting to me because I didn't have a full understanding of ANZAC day. After this activity I have a better understanding of things and I really enjoyed learning about ANZAC.

Skyline Luge | Home Learning

Today Sakina, Taheesha and I created another DLO for the home learning challenges, which was about the skyline luge. In this DLO we explained how long it would take to get to there, the safety of helmets, an activity we would like to go on giving an explanation and the costs of the rides.

MOTAT | Home Learning

Today Victoria, Sakina, Taheesha, Florence, and I worked together to complete another one of the home learning challenges. This one was about MOTAT, a Museum in Auckland which we’ve been on in a school trip before! It was really interesting getting to know about more about this place and why it was really built. In the first activity we were to locate where MOTAT was on google maps and its address. We really enjoyed the second activity, where we found out several fun facts about them. And the bonus was to find out some information on William Motions, the founder of MOTAT. Something we learnt is that MOTAT stands for Museum Of Transport & Technology.

Whoa! Studios | Home Learning

This week for a home learning activity challenge name, name, name, name and I created a collaborative DLO about Whoa! Studios. The first activity consisted of where Whoa! Studios is on a map with the address and how much it would cost to see the super villain show.The second activity was a 10 word description of what it would be like at the park and a suggested part of the park we would recommend to a friend. For the bonus activity we made a biography of Toshiko Horiuchi Macadam. It was really exciting learning about Whoa! Studios because it may be a place some consider going!

Rainbow's End | Home Learning

This week for another home learning challenge, Victoria, Sakina, Taheesha and I decided to work on the Rainbow’s End activities, collaboratively. For the first activity, we wrote the location of Rainbow’s End, with a picture of the map, the costs of a family pass and how much it would cost for our family to go to Rainbow’s End. For our second activity, we wrote the minimum height restriction of the stratosfear and why it’s important to have a height restriction. For our bonus activity, we chose a ride with an explanation of why we would recommend it to a friend, a description of how we might feel on that ride and 25 words that describe how we felt on the ride.

Hobbiton Movie Set | Home Learning

 Today, a few friends and I including Florence, Taheesha, Victoria, and Sakina, worked collaboratively to complete another one of the home blogging challenges. We were able to do each one of the activities as well as the bonus and stuck everything on one presentation. It was really fun learning and researching about this topic and then using what we learnt into a DLO. For the first one we were to create a menu using help from their official website. In the next one we created a brochure and needed to make sure we had information like location, cost for going there, and some fun facts! The bonus was to make a little biography about Sir Peter Jackson, the film director of The Hobbit and Lord of the rings.

Sky Tower | Home Learning

For our second activity, we created a new mascot for the Sky Tower and gave an explanation about why we chose him. For our last activity, we chose an activity we could do at the Sky Tower and wrote down why we chose it, what it is and how much it would cost to do that activity.
