Giant Pandas

L.I: To use our smart searching skills to find information about the giant panda
 

Our activity for today was researching about Giant pandas. We created paragraphs to inform interesting facts and things about giant pandas. In our task we had to write down information about pandas on a note sheet. After writing down our information we wrote down paragraphs. The paragraphs was basically used to sum up our information that we wrote down on our note sheet. After writing everything down we created a DLO which had all the information about Giant pandas. We found this activity interesting and also gave us the opportunity to find out more about Giant Pandas and how they survive in the wilderly. One interesting fact I learnt about Giant pandas is that they consume around 44lb (20kgs) of bamboo.

Virtual Adventure

 L.I: To plan a virtual trip around the world

Today I did an activity. This activity is called Virtual adventure. Basically what we had to do was find places that we like to go to but it can only be a capital city. The three places I would like to visit is Tokyo which is the capital of japan. I would love to visit there for their food. I would also like to visit Nuku'alofa which is the capital of tonga. Its know for the kingdom so I would like to visit the kingdom. The final place I would like to visit is Wellington which is the capital of New Zealand. I haven't visited wellington so I would like to visit there for the sea. I would like to sail there. The places were hard to get because some of the places I would like to go are not even the capital city for that country. I enjoyed this task because I got to choose my dream places. The place I want to visit the most is probably tokyo. Tokyo just looks good and I heard the food there is delicous. 

Tatau

 L.I: To create a DLO that tells others about tatau  

Today I did one of the activites that Mrs Anderson put up for us. I did the Tatau challenge. Basically what I had to do in this challenge was research some information about the Tatau. Some things I learnt about the Tatau was that its name was created by two fijian women. The traditional tattoo represents something that they are resepcted for. Some of them are like status, power, honor and pride. Those are only a few but there's more. The samoan people who have no traditonal tattoo's are called telefua/telenoa which means naked. One of the most used tattoo's are called the pe'a. The pe'a is only used on men. Sometimes on younger kids, specifically on kids who started their puberty. The pe'a goes from the waist to the knees. Each section represnts the person who has the Pe'a, their culture and family. The most popular female tattoo is called the Malu. It goes from the upper thighs and the knees below. I enjoyed this task because I got to learn more about my own culture and the origin of the Tatau.
