This is a movie that me and my classmate collaborated on together. We made a movie that focuses on inspirational quotes that've motivated and inspired us to do something. 

Why Math is Important

This is a video that some of my classmates and I collaborated on. We made this video about why Maths is important. We went for a relaxed and funny comedy video, since more students went for a serious approach. 

Changing Of The Flag

All the pupils in Panmure Bridge School voted for which ever flag they liked best, in the options above. We had 4 minutes to read each flag's meaning behind it independently, 3 minutes to get with a partner and talk about your reasons for why you like the flag you're going to chose, 2 minutes to find a new buddy and talk with them about it, and then 1 minute to find a group of 4 to discuss your own perspectives on each flag. We did this because we work better together. 3 of the people in our group chose the last flag in the picture, for reasons such as: I made personal connections to it, It represents multiple cultures and also because it is instantly recognized as New Zealand's. 2 of the people in our group chose the first flag for reasons such as:  I liked the design and because it's easily recognized as ours due to the Silver Fern. Although they are very alike, we still had reasons for choosing the other flag. The 3 of who chose the red flag, liked it because it represented blood, yet some of us chose the black flag because it represents our history and the night

Alan Duff DLO

This is a poster that I made collaboratively with Paige, Evelyn, Halatoa & Juantia. This is about Alan Duff, the person who started the charity Duffy Books in homes with the help of Mainfreight and the government. This poster just talks a little bit about why is he an agent of change and about how his charity is now spreading around the world like to America and Australia. 

Photo Collage: Jaffa Experiment

This is a photo collage that my group created, using pictures from the Jaffa Experiment. Our group collaborated together to create a simple machine made form cardboard, using scissors and tape. We created this machines as a path to roll the Jaffa on. The aim of the experiment was to see how far the Jaffa would roll. This collage displays people lining up to roll the Jaffa, our group building our machine and a paper of how we built it.

My Speech

Good afternoon students and teachers. Just think about a time where you have been bullied for what you look like, what you believe in and who you are? Doesn’t it hurt thinking about a time you were bullied? Thinking that there was no one to help you.

Take a look around you. Is there someone different from you? Well of course! Everyone is different. Not one person in this room looks the same as you. So tell me, why are people bullied because of their appearance, because of their beliefs and religions, because of being different?

Race is apart of who we are. Tease me about the things I can change. Mock me about the colour of my hair, or the way my teeth aren’t aligned. Don’t tease me for what I can’t change. Don’t mock me for the colour of the skin or the race I descend from.

Why do we think we have the authority to mock someone if they’re a different race? We were born to be real not to be perfect. So why should you choose to rule our life? Why is that we feel uncomfortable in a room full of unfamiliar faces?

Why do we bully? We were born the way we are. Racial Bullying is just wrong! Being unique is okay. What’s wrong with that? So why judge someone for being themselves? For being an individual? We must learn to find the similarities not the differences. We should be able to express who we really are without being cautious. We need to stand up to bullying, we need to end this! Racial bullying is never the answer.

My comment to Afu

This is my comment to Afu, about her creative display she did in Digital Technology at Tamaki College. If you go on her blog you can see why I said that it really catches my interest. It was her first time using scratch and she already knew what to do.

Cook Islands DLO

This is a presentation created about the culture of the Cook Islands. I created this presentation collaboratively with Fine and Sajiha. We found out a lot of information about the Cook Islands. We were very shocked about what we found because we didn't expect any of these responses. We found out that there are 15 islands all together. 

Tongan Language Week DLO

This is a DLO created about the Culture of Tonga. I did this task as a individual and I had found out a lot of information. One thing I found out is that the Ngatu (Tapa) is a type of barkcloth made in the Pacific Islands. It comes from a tree called Paper Mulbery or its scientific name Broussonetia Pepyrifera.

Vincent Van Gogh DLO

This is a Prezi created on the famous artist Vincent Van Gogh. We had to research about him because we were practising on how to paint his famous sunflower artwork, so we gave it a try and we were very impressed with how good his art work was.

Vincent Van Gogh Artwork

This is a photo of me taken with my piece of artwork focused on a famous artist Vincent Van Gogh. Our first step was to draw the vase and the flowers with chalk before we can paint it. In the blue background I used a wet paint brush to make it look more affective then I got a dry paint brush to smooth out my background.

Run, Jump, Throw

This is a photo of me jumping hurdles in our new Kiwi Sports Run, Jump, Throw. It was fun because we learnt new skills like how to run in different techniques and we also learnt how to start running before a race. I enjoyed this because it was something different for me to learn.

Maths DLO

This is a collaborative poster I made with Fine. We had to explain in our own words what we did for our Maths Tasks this week. We were practising how to solve larger multiplication strategies using 'multiplication with algorithms' 

Graph Poster

This is a poster that explains the type of different rubbish that Room 5 collected. 

Maths Poster

This is a Maths Poster that explains how to solve a hard multiplication equation. This was one of the questions that we had to solve in our Maths Session. It shows that I have to practise learning how to use Multiplication in parts with larger numbers.

Pay it Forward

Part of last night's home learning was to do something with or for someone else. I chose to help my mum make a smoothie. We added fruits like apples, oranges and bananas plus milk. My mum and I felt happy because we haven't had a smoothie in a long time which was real fun  to see that we enjoyed it.

I Fake Text Conversation

These are screenshots that Fine and I created to show if Breakfast in schools are important. We had to add 3 persuasive language features in to make it interesting to read. I think Breakfast in schools are important because kids need to be focused on learning tasks.

How to use speech marks

This is a collaborative DLO that Fine, John and I created to show people how to use speech marks. We included examples that are easy to understand and simple rules that need to be followed in order to use speech marks. We used PowToon to produce this presentation.
