Te Reo Challenge: Body Parts

 LI: To create an animation showcasing the different body parts in maori.

The above animation is this weeks Te Reo Challenge which is set by Ms. Pryde. First we started by using  animating sites like Powtoon and Pixton to start with the work. We chose an avatar so it would be easy to explain the topic. The animation covers body parts like mouth, legs, feet, eyes, teeth, elbow. nose, fingers, toes, hair, head, ears, shoulders, knee and hands with a line explaining its role in the body. By doing such activities I think I am increasing and developing my maori vocabulary which I think is very important. I come to know many new topics every time I complete a Te Reo Challenge and this time I have learned about the body. I would love to complete many such challenges.

Writing: Why is it important to have the PBS CARE values

 LI: To write an explanation using TEEL paragraphs.

The above picture and screencastify is showcasing me and my group working together. This week we have been revising explanation writing. Next week we have our assessment week so we did this collaborative challenge to remind ourselves what is needed when we write explanations. Florence, Jayden and I first wrote our rough paragraphs on a piece of paper by using transitional vocabulary and acronyms like TIIC, TEEL and FANBOYS. We then wrote our final paragraphs and decided the script. Once we practiced it well, we recorded our screencastify. I liked completing this task because we got a chance to improve our writing skills and work as a team.
