Today we learnt that you can tell a story through a series of images. The challenge was to reflect the story of our walk along the Tamaki River pathway using a selection of photos arranged in sequential order. To do this effectively we needed to think about cropping and resizing images.
LI: To understand the concept of visual storytelling
On the 2nd in April the whole of Panmure Bridge School went down the Tamaki River walk. Here are some images that capture our time.
LI: To create an infographic that tells others about the migration of the kuaka
During reading, Group 2 had created an Infographic about the Kuaka bird. Did you know the scientific name for the Kuaka bird is Limosa lapponica. In our infographic, we included their habitat, diet and appearance.
Something interesting I found out about the Kuaka was that these birds are known for there long flight from Alaska to New Zealand all down within 8-9 days.
LI: To create an infographic that tells others about the migration of the kuaka
For this task we had worked in our reading groups but had completed this task individually I enjoyed researching about the kuaka and how they survived.
Something interesting I found out about the Kuaka was the have a nonstop flight from New Zealand to Alaska and they can fly one place to another under a week!! That really amazed me, I had never known there could be a bird breed that strong to fly one place to another under a week.
From this DLO I can see a lot of information about the Kuaka bird appearance, fun facts, habitat and diet talking about where it lives and what it eats and super fun facts about it and when did they come to New Zealand.
For this activity, we created a DLO showing our Dot to Dot Connections of the Kuaka Bird. We used the scribble tool to connect each word and write down information that is related to the text. For example : Migration and Habitat (The Kuaka birds migrate from Alaska to NZ to have a safe environment). We used our prior knowledge to figure out some information about the Kuaka Bird. Something we enjoyed while doing this activity was collaborating and communicating to each other to grab different ideas and learn from one another.
LI: To use Google My Maps to show the migratory flight path of the Kuaka.
For this activity we needed to create a map that shows how long the kuaka birds fly for and where the kuaka birds migrate to.
Kuaka birds, also known as bar-tailed godwits, love to hang out near the water, especially in places like estuaries, mudflats, beaches, and coastal marshes, where they find lots of yummy food.
Every year, as winter approaches, the Kuaka fly north to the breeding grounds of Alaska, stopping off in Korea and Japan for a rest and some food on the way. On the return journey, as our summer approaches, they fly directly to New Zealand, a trip of endurance with no food, water, or rest; nearly 12,000 km non-stop.
Did you know that the Kuaka bird holds the world record for the longest flight?
This week Panmure Bridge School hosted some visitors from Te Koromiko Swannanoa School in Christchurch. Our amazing team of students ambassadors did an outstanding job sharing the work they have been doing. We were very proud of their confidence when speaking and thought they reflected our PBS values when they showed our guests around our school.
LI: To create a collage of images or short movie that reflects my time at camp
Our camp at Kokako Lodge in Hunua was very fun and exciting. My collage shows what activities we have done at camp. I chose these photos because it was a lot to do with the activities.
My favourite part of camp was the wall climb and raft building because I got to engadge with my group and share my ideas.
This is the image I created using the Adobe Express. I found this activity challenging because it was hard to create what you wanted it to be, We had to use all the things that were in the text to create a old and abandoned alley way. These where the stuff we had to use for it to look like this. narrow, dirty old, decaying buildings. rain-slicked cobblestones gas lamps. Rusty fire escapes Colorful graffiti rot. The words that are coloured Bold are the important words. but I found it fun because we got to create our own Alley way.
Something I learnt when using prompts for AI is that we use it so we can understand it.
LI: To identify and understand how descriptive language is used to create a clear picture of a setting in a text.
This is the image I created with Adobe Express. I found that creating this was difficult because it was always creating completely different things or it would’ve changed nothing at all and just gave it worst graphics, it was fun because I learnt how AI reacts to certain prompts you task it with and to learn how clever AI is currently.
