My Unique Critter I Dung Beetle

For our Sumer learning Journey we have created a comic based off a critter(Animals with power) The animal I picked was the Dung Beetle. Dung beetles are incredibly strong insects, some lifting over 1,100 times their weight, and are vital to ecosystems for aerating soil and cycling nutrients, with three types: rollers, tunnellers, and dwellers, all using dung for food and nesting.

Something I enjoyed was learning the Dung Beetle’s powers and how it impacts our ecosystem.

 

My Moment In Time I The Polynesian Panther Party

For this task we we’re challenged to make a diorama and a DLO to show and tell a snapshot of the event we’ve picked. I’ve picked the Polynesian Panthers because I thought it would be interesting to know the past of New Zealand and find out why the Polynesian Panthers were formed and the story behind why the government in 1971 ” Robert Muldoon”.

Something I enjoyed was creating the diorama and letting my creativity run wild.

Charge Of The Light Brigade

 

For this reading task we’ve made a DLO to show our understanding of this topic “the charge of the light brigade”.
Something I enjoyed about this activity was that I could show my understanding and show I learnt many things about this topic “the light brigade”.

Shearer’s strike

For this task our main focus this week was learning and exploring about the shearers strike. Our group looked at the two perspectives of the shearers strike. When we read both of them we formed an opinion of which we thought was a better argument than the other. our main focus this week was learning and exploring about the shearers strike.

What I found interesting about this activity was learning how they persuade to stand up for themselves and persuade people to use their own voice and rights.

Malala Yousafzai

For this task me and my group created a poster about Malala Yousafzai, and how she stood up for womens rights to learn and be educated.
She wanted Women to have equal rights to go to school but as she was on the bus the talibman shot her on the left side of her forehead and had to undergo a lot of surgery and plastic surgery to make her more confident in herself. Time passed and she got back and started making a speech about why women’s should have their rights. She stood tall with pride and justice and people all over the world acknowledge her from this day forward for having bravery and even though that she got shot she still wanted to raise her voice so that other can hear her. I enjoyed this task because I look up to Malala Yousafzai by having the confidence to stand up their in front of the world governments of the United Natioan at 16 years old saying her speech so I really look up to her. Something I found Interesting was that after getting shot she didn’t get silenced by the bullet but spoke with pride. “Empower others with the Weapon of Knowlege” That was her sentence that I acknowledge.
