Exploring AI

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 using the Adobe Express. I found this activity challenging because I had to decorate the whole alleyway with things that an alleyway would have in it . But I found it fun because it was cool and fun adding the decorations to the alleyway .

Something I learnt when using prompts for AI is to follow their rules , and not generate anything bad . 

Here is My Picture before and after .

What did Samuel Marsden see?

LI: To use the information in the diary extract to create an image of what we think Samuel Marsden saw when he sailed down the Tamaki awa.

We used Adobe Express to make an ai picture of Mount Wellington Mountain . We included Marai’s,  because people were poor back in the 1800’s . We also learnt that in the 1800’s there was no houses made yet . There were only marai’s and canoe boats . 

Here is A Before and After Picture of what we had created .

Working in groups

  • LI: To understand that everyone has a role to play when we are working in groups

    In LS2 we learn best when we learn with and from each other

  • What your responsibility as a group member is
  • How working in a group helped you understand more about the kuaka
  • Why talking to others about your learning is important 
  • Something you enjoyed.

Who was Samuel Marsden?

LI: To use our smart searching skills to find out who Samuel Marsden was and what he is known for.

 

We used our smart searching skills to research facts about Samuel Marsden. To make sure our facts were correct we used three different websites. The websites I used were Wikipedia , Google Chrome and Kiddle .

Something interesting I found out about Samuel marsden was that he was a Person who owns his own office and he was a farmer that sold his crops .

I learnt it is important to use my own words because if I use words from a website , I would never know if it was wrong . 

 

Evolution of the NZ Flag

LI: To understand the story behind our flag

Our challenge today was to create a collaborative presentation that reflects the story behind our NZ flag. We did this by looking at how our flag has changed over time .

Something I found interesting was that James Busby did make a NZ flag design himself , but it got rejected by the maori cheifs , because it didn’t contain much red in it , less stars and the whole flag background was just plain white , Not Blue . So James Busby got really mad that his flag was rejected , so he hired Admiral Sir Albert Hastings Markham , to make a design of his own. And when Sir Albert was done with his design , James Busby said that it looked perfect , So Sir Albert Told James Busby to show the Maori chiefs the flag and to ask them if It was ok to use as the Official NZ Flag . And they said yes , So James used it as the flag we know today . And that is why this NZ Flag was chosen to be the official one .
