Our focus in writing was hyperbole. Hyperbole is a figure of speech in which exaggeration is used. I have made a DLO with an example of hyperbole and images to back up the sentence. I have learnt that hyperbole is an exaggeration and is not true. I have also added a definition of hyperbole.
I am a Year 8 student at Panmure Bridge School in Auckland, NZ. I am in Learning Space 2 and my teachers are Mrs Anderson and Ms Kirkpatrick.

Ordering Fractions
Our focus today in maths was ordering fractions. We first had a practice game where you had to order the fractions from the highest end to the lowest end. From then, we did a test which proved our percentages. I got 100%.

Gold CARE Respect Award - Stan Walker Song: Climb
I had to research Stan Walker's song CLIMB. I have made a DLO based about what the song is about. The DLO above has a image of Stan Walker and a link to his song. This song was very interesting to listen to.
Gold CARE Respect Award - Thank You Letter
One of my tasks for my Gold Respect Care award was to write a thank you letter to a teacher or other staff member. I decided to write a letter to Ms. Kirikpatrick, one of my teachers in LS2. I wrote down how grateful I am to have her as a teacher in Panmure Bridge School and many more.

Why Is It So Important To Keep Oral Storytelling Alive?
Maori storytelling is important today because it can pass onto generations. They will know the value of their culture while keeping the Maori language alive.
Mia and I have worked collaboratively to make this 25 word summary about, why it's so important to keep oral storytelling alive? We listened to 3 different explanations in Te Reo in subtitles. We had learning conversations to why it is so important. Using 6 most important words to make this summary, we thought it was so important to pass the oral storytelling onto the next generation so they will know the value of the culture/language alive.

Myths and Legends
Our focus this term is myths and legends. Mia and I have worked collaboratively to make this comic strip about, How Maui Slowed The Sun, using Storyboard That. Picking a scene we were practicing using dialogue to show rather than telling what is happening in the scenes of, How Maui Slowed The Sun. We found it difficult to, make a short scene, because we didn't know how to fit all pieces of the scene in 3 different parts.
Ordering Fractions
Our focus for maths, today was ordering fractions. I have played a game where you had to order the fractions in the right places. You got to pick whether you wanted a harder game or easier game.
