Dame Naida Glavish – The Kia ora Lady

For reading, we were learning about a leader who changed New Zealand forever, by just saying two words ”Kia ora”.

Her name is Dame Naida Glavish also known as the ”Kia ora lady”. She encouraged everyone to speak and embrace their language/culture. She is an inspiring lady that never gave up, she stood up for what was right and in the end she accomplished her goal. I have created this DLO using ten words to summarize important events that happend in her life.

Subtraction Algorithms – DLO

LI:To calculate the differnce of whole numbers, using Algorithms 

One of our main focus for maths this week is using subtraction Algorithms to find the diffrence of whole numbers.

Our group had to carefully read through our books using that information as a key to answer the questions. I have created this DLO to give you all the information you need to learn subtraction algorithms.

Addition Algorithms – DLO

LI: How to calculate the sum of whole numbers, using Algorithms.

One of our main focus for maths this week is using Addition Algorithms to solve whole numbers. We had to read  the examples carefully and answer questions on our board so that we can get a better understanding. I have created this DLO to show you how you can master Addtion Algorithms too.

Life in The Annex

LI: To write a description of life with the Frank family in the Annex in 1942

 The Annex was quiet except for our footsteps on the creaking floorboards. Our beds were cramped and the air was filled with dust. We had very basic facilities and not that much food to share. The longer the war went on, the worse the food became. The peeled, rough walls were covered in dull colors so we had very little to look at. Whenever we heard the German people downstairs we would sit in silence, frozen in fear. All of our food supplies were brought by brave people who lived downstairs, covering for us and making sure Germans didn’t get suspicious.Anne Frank was my very interesting friend. Almost everyday she would record all the events in her diary. So that everyone can one day hear what we went through.

We are reading the book ‘Diary of Anne Frank’. Mrs Anderson created a Gemini Gem to prompt us to think more deeply about what life would have been like in the annex, what we felt and why we felt that way.

I enjoyed using the Gem, because it gave us hints instead of answers, helping us level up our ideas and expand our knowledge.

First day at Tech

Today in LS2 I made a DLO about my first day at tech. We were learning about digital technology like robotics, 3d shapes and coding. Today was really interesting, And I learnt a new subject that I’ve haven’t heard or seen yet. So I’m so excited to go back next week ready to learn something new!

Malo lelei, my name is Angelo and this is my first year in LS2 as a year 7. I am really excited to face the challenges of this year with my friends, and classmates. I am looking forward to Tech, sport competitions, Art, school trips and all the activities coming up this year. I love doing physical hobbies like cycling, hiking, camping, running and sports. I am really good at sports like rippa rugby, soccer and touch.

My goal for this year is to try my best to become a good leader and role model.
