How to Prepare a Harakeke

LI: To learn how to prepare harakeke flax.

This week we learnt how to prepare a harakeke flax as it will be helpful for our item on the PBSMD (Panmure Bridge School Market Day). Something I found interesting about harakeke was that people make stuff out of it because it is useful to them. 

I found this activity interesting because they make ropes, fishing lines and nets with harakeke.

Celebrating Diwali

LI: To use your smart searching skills to find out what Diwali is and how people celebrate around the world.

Our challenge was to write create a DLO that tells others what Diwali is and how people celebrate around the world.

Something I found interesting was that they made lamps with paper because it was interesting.

Phares dans la Tempete, la Jument

LI: To use your smart searching skills to find the story behind this picture

Our challenge was to write create a DLO that shows where this lighthouse is and what the story is behind the image. We found out that the Phares dans la Tempete, la Jument is a lighthouse in Brittany northwestern France.

I found this activity very good because it was interesting that only 3 people survived the when the boat was sinking.

Inchcape Rock

LI: To find and summarise the story behind the poem

This week we made a DLO of the incape rock.

For the DLO we made summaries for the inchcape rock but first we had to fill the boxes with summaries. There are 17 summaries in the google doc.  After finishing filling in the box with summaries we then make a DLO. We then have to put our summaries on to the DLO. I made a summary. Sir Ralph sailed away he scoured seas for many day.

Our challenge was to unpack the story behind the 17 verses of the poem Inchcape Rock by Robert Southy. The part I found interesting was when Ralph cursed himself because I never saw anyone do that.

I found this activity great because it was interesting.
