For this activity, our teachers had tasked to generate 3 AI videos presenting the Treaty of Waitangi. We’ve generated these videos from Hailuo AI. We’ve done 3 three videos which were the Brisish perspective, Maori perspective, and the Treaty.

Using AI to generate videos, especially at school is really fun. People could learn how Ai works. Anyway, this task was really fun to do. I’ve also worked with a partner for this task.

For this task (reading), our main focus was about this lady is named Dame Naida Glavish.  We learnt that shes was a lady that change the world. How?, she worked as a telephone operator and she answered to callers using her cultural greeting “Kia Ora”.  Her managers told her to stop but Dame did Dmae and kept on saying Kia ora, why? because she believed that the Maori Language was the official Language of New Zealand and people need to know, because of this she had caught the attention of the Prime Minster at the time.

Somthing I found interesting was that Dame Naida Glavish Lead by example and leaded people due to Her culture/others and the land.

For reading, we were learning about a leader who changed New Zealand forever, by just saying two words ”Kia ora”.

Her name is Dame Naida Glavish also known as the ”Kia ora lady”. She encouraged everyone to speak and embrace their language/culture. She is an inspiring lady that never gave up, she stood up for what was right and in the end she accomplished her goal. I have created this DLO using ten words to summarize important events that happend in her life.

LI: How to calculate the sums of whole numbers using algorithims.

This week for Group 4s Math task we worked together in Addition, before starting the actual book work we worked together as a group on our whiteboards to learn and understand how to do addition in algorythm. Me and my group did an amazing job working together and sharing our opinions on how we get different ideas to solve our equations. Addition was really fun and enjoyful to learn. I think i did a good job at helping the others in my group that didnt quiet understand learn how to do proper algorythm.

 Life in the Annex

In 1942 the Jewish people were forced to go hide inside before 8:00pm if they were found outside they may get killed. A girl named Anne Frank wrote a diary about her life hiding from the Germans, I am that girl. My family hid in a small annex, there was a lot of tension because of the people walking outside on the streets and we were hiding. Hearing that made us scared, worried and anxious. Even though we did not know what was happening outside in Amsterdam, I could imagine the soldiers looking for the Jewish people. While hiding I spent a lot of time lying on the bed on my side, curled up with my hands over my mouth looking at the moonlight coming through the cracks of the window, hoping that no one would come close to the bookcase keeping our secret hiding place hidden.  Focusing on the chiming of the clock every 15 mins kept me still waiting for the next ding. Outside soldiers marched from house to house looking for people like us to send to the camp. 

The roads were uneven, dusty rocks that made the soldiers’ boots loud like the ground was shaking. I could feel the trembling of the wooden wall and floors as I sat on my bed.

The streets are empty, with a few people going to buy food with their food stamps, walking slowly, watching their back. Every time they see a soldier they hide because of the fear that the soldiers might take them.  I wish I could go and get food instead of waiting to see if someone will bring us food. I look out of the crack on my curtain, I see a stray hungry dog running from something then the dog knocked a can over that made the soldier stop and see what it was as the soldier came 

closer and closer than the dog ran. Were we going to be safe for another night?

Last week, LS2 had to inference/predict Maori and British thought during the TOW.

LI: To explore possible expectations intrested parties had the day the Treaty was signed.

This week our main focus in maths was subtraction using algorithms, so we could get a deeper understanding of it. To do subtraction algorithm it is harder to understand but once you get the hang of it is flawless. Have a look at the DLO me and my group made to help people get a better and deeper understanding!

This week for Maths,we learned about subtraction and addition problems. If you need help on subtraction algorithim, you should read this DLO. Subtraction is basically vertically aligning digits by place value meaning (ones,tens,hundreds) and subtraction from left to right while borrowing a number if you can’t subtract the bottom number . If the top digit is smaller, “borrow” (regroup) 10 from the next column. K include: Borrow/regroup if needed .I enjoyed these equalization , these questions were slightly tricky but I had fun !

LI: How to calculate the quotient of whole numbers using algorithm

For maths this week our main focus was Short division and long division.  So far we have been revising and answering questions that revolve around division using the short and long method.  We put together a Google slide to help/explaing to people how to do short/long division.  Have a Look! I hope this helps you.
