Summer Learning Journey - Bonus Activity

For this bonus activity, I had to write a letter to a family member or a friend about why you want to go to the country you choose. This is my letter I wrote: 

Dear Dad, 

I am going to Chile to learn many new things like their language and to try different foods. When I come back I will show the amazing pictures I took of the worlds longest beach and the worlds oldest mummy. I will also teach you Chile's language and hopefully we can go there sometime together. I will be gone for 2 - 5 weeks and I will miss you the most. Love, from Zahra.

Summer Learning Journey - Facts about Chile

For this second activity, what I had to do was find three facts about Chile. I wasn't allowed to include the facts in the world map.
Fact One: Chile has the worlds biggest swimming pool which is a length of 1000 yards.
Fact Two: Chile has the worlds oldest mummy.
Fact Three: Chile has 17.62 million people.

Summer Learning Journey

For this summer learning journey, the activity was to choose a country that I would like to visit and give 2 or more reasons why we choose that country. I choose Chile because it is the worlds narrowest country stretching along South America. My second reason is because it has the worlds oldest mummy and I have never seen a mummy.  

2016 LS2 Collage

 

This reflection is based around LS2's 2016 learning journey. This collage lets you see through our eyes what we have been up to this year. There are images of us collaborating working hard and some of our most favorite times at school.

The Labyrinth

This week were were focusing on a film, The Labyrinth. This is a DLO that I have created today. It has pictures of the movie also some of the parts. The Labyrinth was very interesting as it had parts of different fantasy movies in this film. 

Tahuna Torea StoryBoard That

This is my Storyboard That, which I have created with Zeba, Nazella and myself. We had to create a step by step Storyboard which explained what happened that day. We had much fun and had a great time. 

Tahuna Torea

 Yesterday Afternoon, the seniors of PBS went to Tahuna Torea. This is my groups DLO about Tahuna Torea. Zeba, Nazella and I were working very collaborativly to make this Prezi.com. We  learnt many things and had a great time there. We were put into 3 groups to go around and explore Tahuna Torea. We got to look at the wetland where the birds and Godwits migrate from and where they also rest. We also played on the park and had a bush walk. It was a very warm day but the seniors have lots of fun. 

My Day At Tamaki College - Collage

On Friday LS2 spent the whole day at Tamaki College with Mr. Dunn. We really enjoyed this session because we learned about rockets and the tested out our straw rockets. This is my DLO collage that has all of the pictures of the fantastic day we spent at Tamaki College. 

Multimodel Reading

This week we started our Multi model ( < link) reading task focusing on Godwits. We were put into 4 groups which were R, E, A, D, my group was A. In my group, there was Pote, Thomas, Victoria, Nesi, Charlize, Zahn, Mahdia, Calvin, Oh Hsen, C.J, Afu and I. Our first task working collaboratively was to complete our question matrix. After completing our question matrix we relied on our prior knowledge by using no internet or any books. Using our prior knowledge we wrote down how people traveled today, 30 years ago and 100 years ago. 

Tamaki College - Rockets

Last week, on Friday we went to Tamaki College to learn about rockets. In this DLO I have added some information about rockets and our score for our straw rockets. We spent the whole day with Mr. Dunn. LS2 really enjoyed this session and recapped many things we remembered. After we made straw rockets  it was interesting seeing how far they could go. It was really awesome since we made some papered rockets and shoot them up in the sky.
