Today in Mana Ako we have been learning about smart media, and how in order to achieve this we need to be media illiterate by having the ability to analyse, evaluate and participate with various forms of media.
The theme for this term is “May The Force Be With You, Kia Kaha te Kaha Ki A Koe.” Team 5 will explore the world of sound and its importance in our lives. We’ll learn about how sound works, why it matters, and how it affects our feelings and communication.
Students will participate in fun activities to see how sound travels and interacts with different materials. We’ll also talk about how music and sounds can tell stories and evoke emotions.
By the end of the term, everyone will understand more about sound and have the chance to share their own experiences with it. We’re excited to discover the power of sound together!
So for this term we have been learning a new skill, we were learning new skills because that was what team 5 was tasked with. The skill I chose originally was back-flip, but unfortunately couldn’t go through with it as it was wayyyy to hard for us. (I said us because I was partnered up with Marzuli) So we chose a different skill, staff spinning, but of course it was hard because we had switched around Week 7. After our last week of recording we could not aquire this skill which sucks. But overall I had a bunch of fun doing this.
Task Description: This is my presentation on Empathy, the tag line is put yourself in
their shoes, as someone may be going through something and you don’t know how their feeling,
so one way of doing this is imagining yourself in their shoes or their POV (Point of View) to
get a better understanding on how the person is feeling. And this concludes my task description.
Please leave a positive comment on my blog and thank you for reading my description. 🙂
This is my digital collage I made for a text the Glass Boy, this text is about a frail slender boy being accepted to be a apprentice of a distinguished glass maker, the boy was accepted to be the glass makers apprentice and he started living with the Maestro, things were going well until a unexpected plot twist occurred which made everything lay on the boy.
I really recommend reading this text as I found it really fun and enjoying to read as I found out more and more about the text.
WALT: Analysing characters by identifying and inferring character traits
Title: The Unexpected Passenger
Characters:
Setting: Afternoon and a very sunny and beautiful day
Scene:
The Narrator is driving to the race until he sees a Hitchhiker and decides to give the guy a ride
NARRATOR
Need a lift?
HITCHHIKER
That’d be great. Heading to the races?
NARRATOR
Yes, just on my way. Hop in.
The Hitchhiker gets in the car and they drive off.
The car pulls into the parking lot. The Hitchhiker and The Narrator get out, blending into the crowd.
HITCHHIKER
Alright, here’s the plan. We need to lift a wallet from someone in the crowd.
NARRATOR
You want to rob someone? I thought we were just here to watch the races.
HITCHHIKER
Trust me. We’ll do it smoothly. Follow my lead.
They head into the crowd. The Hitchhiker looks around in the crowd and focuses on a wealthy man in a fancy suit.
HITCHHIKER
See that guy? He’s our target. You create a distraction, and leave everything to me
NARRATOR
Alright. But this better be quick.
The Narrator walks over to the wealthy man, pretending to be lost and asking for directions. The man is distracted.
The Hitchhiker slips his hand into the man’s pocket and steals his wallet.
HITCHHIKER
Got it. Let’s move!
NARRATOR
They drive off and never get caught!!
Task Description: Today in literacy class we have been learning to Analyse characters and identifying
and inferring character traits, and by doing this we were basing it on a short story called
The Hitchhiker, by Roald Dahl. a man picks up a hitchhiker who turns out to be a master fingersmith.
The hitchhiker shows the driver his amazing skill and the driver is impressed, what we can infer
about the hitchhiker is that he is a sneaky, dishonest, but also a likeable person in the story.
What we can infer about the Driver is that he is kind, brave, trusting, and generous for giving
the hitchhiker a ride.
