Greetings, my name is Marwan and I am a year 8 student at Panmure Bridge School. I am looking forward to this year’s exciting events like sport tournaments and tech. My hobbies I enjoy out of school are playing games and sports. In school my favourite subjects are maths and PE. My goal this year is to improve in reading and writing and learn new words.
Our task for this activity was to give a famous dog that had no front legs and upgrade from his wheelchair to something better. We gave him special features and upgrades so he can eat and travel around better. It was fun creating and designing a upgrade for turbo.
For this activity we needed to design a unique prosthetic leg for Mosha. A elephant that stood on a landmine losing one of her legs, she was only 7 months old when this happened, people thought she wouldn’t make it but other people came together to create her a new leg.
For this activity we needed to research facts about centipedes after making a copy of the Google Draw and answering the questions provided, asnwering questions like “The Māori names for centipedes are” and “Where in Aotearoa are centipedes found?” where very interesting to answer making me think and research alot.
Facts:
For the Summer Learning Journey our task was to research about centipides and for our kick start activity we answered questions about centipedes and some math questions.
A fact about centipedes is that centipedes have many legs and some have up to 100.
Another fact about centipedes is that centipedes legs can regenerate so if one falls of they can regrow another one.
For this activity we needed to make a web made of paper and a spider also made of paper, first step was to watch a video in order to make a web, next we needed to watch another video explaing how to make a spider out of a toilet roll but we didn’t have any so we made it out paper following the same exact steps.
Did you know spider webs are really strong, sticky nets made of liquid silk that spiders use to catch food, build homes, and even travel.
Spider silk is lighter than cotton but stronger than steel and incredibly stretchy, like a mix of steel and rubber.
Some spiders eat their old webs to reuse the protein, saving energy and getting nutrients back.
For our Summer Learning Journey Task we learnt about a crawling creature called a spider. We learned about the webs and how its not just a trap but also a piece of art. We drew our own webs in different styles and it was fun and interesting to make. A fact I learnt that spiders are one of the most talented creatures that are good at art.
I made a Diorama about a historical time and created an Google video about 9/11 a sad incident that happens in New York. The reason I did this moment is because I was interested to know about what happend and how the hero’s saved many people like Mike Kohoe and the 11 passengers. Making my diorama was fun and it made me think of how to design it.
I enjoyed this task because it was interesting and it was fun. I learnt about what happend and how the hero’s saved the people.
For the Summer Learning Journey our task was to create a our own custom creature or critter with superpowers. Creating our own custom creature/critter was interesting and fun and we also learnt about the different animals with superpowers they were born with.
Our task for reading was to create a summary of Waltzing Matilda. We learnt about the poem Waltzing Matilda and what happend to him. We created a summary and used words that rhymed and we wrote what happend from the start to the end in a short stanza.
I enjoyed this task because the poem was fun to read and hear.
