For Inquiry This Week , we made a slideshow about us trying to make an AI Picture , from scratch , without copying the original image . It took me about 5 tries to get a very very similar image .
I learned that AI Images are very hard to copy and make , but the longer you try to make it , the easier it will be .
LI: To write a narrative from the point of view of a baby owl on its fist flight
Mrs Anderson read us the book ‘First Flight’ by June Crebbin. We talked about the narrators point of view and used a Gemini Gem to prompt us to think more deeply about what the story might look like when told in the first person.
“As the sun dipped below the hills, the breeze began to shake the trees. Tonight, I was finally getting prepared for my very first flight with Mum, even though my legs were swaying just as much as the branches.” I am still excited for my flight. I can see all my owl friends zooming in the sky. Well, birds peek at the tree beside me as it sounds like a clock ticking.
My heart beat racing as fast as a car.As the wind passed by like a grave stone on top of my body. “Suddenly, the wind pushed me, and my heavy wings wouldn’t open!” as I’m falling i began to panic as my wings would not spread then my Mum came and caught Me as I almost hit the ground. And flew me back to the tree where I tried to fly again and as I prepared for my second try.
I took deep breaths and my heart beat began to cool down as if I was drinking a nice refreshing drink. And then I jumped and my wings spread like if I was going for a big hug. The world looks so beautiful I can see everything. The trees move with the wind as a nice cool breeze hits my face. I knew that I could fly. I found out that if I believed in myself I could do it. I couldn’t have done this without my mother’s help and all I had to do was just be brave.
LI: To evaluate peer pressure, digital interactions and social influences
We unpacked how in a world of followers and influencers, how we can stay the ‘Navigator’ of our own lives.
We enjoyed this task , because it teaches us about if people are doing stuff because they want to , or if they are doing it because they want to copy someone .
LI : To calculate the sum of whole numbers , using algorithms .
Me and my Maths group has created a DLO about Addition algorithms. I found Addition algorithms was very easy when I first started doing it .This activity was very cool and fun , to do with myself and my Maths group.
I learned that Maths is sometimes easy when you learn your times tables , and hard when you didn’t.
LI : To calculate the diffrence of whole numbers , using algorithms .
Me and my Maths group has created a DLO about subtraction algorithms. I found subtraction algorithms very easy when I first started doing it .This activity was very cool to do with myself and my Maths group.

LI: To make an informed opinion
Our task was to create a DLO that shows both perspectives of this event. Our group considered whether or not the risks that Johnny Pohe took were dangerous , risky , or brave .
Something we found interesting was out of the 73 men that tried to escape prison , including Johnny , only 3 made it out .Because 2 of the tunnels were found and destroyed , and the 3rd tunned was found , after a German guard crawled out of it .
LI: To summarise a text
We read about Dame Naida Glavish, a wahine toia who choice to greet callers with “Kia Ora” instead of “Hello.” Her one action led to a massive change in New Zealand’s cultural identity.
We think Dame Naida Glavish was an agent of change because she is a good leader , and never listened to the people who doubted her .
This Was Our Leader , Will ‘Ilolahia , and he was the founder of the group ( The Polynesian Panthers) , and him and others formed into one group , and protested about Racism , how people were sent back to their country if they didnt work , or if their work visa expired . He gave the NZ Prime Minister a visit , with his whole crew , to flash very bright spotlights at his house , and run away , to get revenge .
Something that I learnt was that he is not only a leader , he solved racism in NZ .
Today, We went to Tamaki College for Tech, and continued with our Machine license , and our bags. It was really fun choosing the fabric, cutting the fabric out , sewing together , and making progress with it . I was proud of my progress on the bag that I was making . The design is not to difficult , and it is easy to make .
LI: To understand what honouring the treaty means
We explored the ways we still honour the Treaty of Waitangi today. The Treaty of Waitangi is important because in 1840 it proved that the Maori and British and get along , and end the war . Today it is important because it celebrates the Maori signing the Treaty , to prove that the British can own everything , so they got into a war , and they ended it by an agreement , at the end .
Something we found interesting was the British never agreed to share land with the Maori , if they signed it . They just agreed for the Maori to have no land for themselves , and all of the land for the British .
