Maori Language Week Stop Motion DLO

 Kia Ora, Ko Mark toku ingoa. Today i will be showing you my first ever stop motion DLO about Maori Language Week. First I will tell you what I've been learning about and how I made the stop motion.

So I learnt about different animals in Maori. Colours in Maori Black / Pangu. Also sentences in Maori, Ata Marie / Good Morning, Morena / Morning too. And even facts about Maori. About maraes, history and other sorts of stuff.

Okay, so in order to make a stop motion, you have to atleast duplicate one slide into a bunch, so that it could go slowly, or as fast as you like. But if you want it to  be a good one, then add a bunch of the same slides. Then keep adding up more new slides.

Here's my Stop Motion.

Matariki DLO

Hey Hey, It's me Mark.

For Reading we've been learning about Matariki. You probably know what Matariki is, but if you don't then my short DLO will show you about it.
I will leave the explanation for you to read in my DLO.

Here's me DLO mate.

Pōhā DLO

Hey Hey!!!

It is me Mark. For reading we were learning about Pōhā and we watched a video about a family who made Pōhās from generation to generation, and they showed the people on how to make one.

It's about Haberfield - Metzger family. They made a lot of Pōhās and they've been doing it for so long that everyone in their family has mastered how to do it.

For our activity we actually had to make a DLO about Pōhās. And I was actually ready to make one and scavenge for some information about it.

Here's my DLO.

T2W4 Superhero Reading Activity

For Reading we read a passage about a kid named Zac and he has always wanted to have superpowers, so that he can become the world's first real superhero. He has tried to become Hulk, superman, spiderman, or even batman. He has tried to do all heroes but failed and hurt him self.

One day he was imagining that he was flying on top of the road and watching the traffic. But when he stopped, he saw a baby on the grass crawling towards the road. He saw who it was and it was Penny, she's a 2 year old baby that's from their neighbours. So he came and ran towards Penny and catches her before she goes on the road. Zac then realized that you don't need powers to be a hero.
The End. (This is not the whole story it's just shortened)

Here's the activities I did.

Ice Cream Truck

For our Reading group we were given a passage we read before called Ice cream truck.
It's about a little boy who has to be healthy and eat healthy food because of his mum. They can't eat any biscuits, chips, or any junk food. But one day he went to softball training and won a match. His Nana bought him ice cream which he have always wanted.

I found it easy to trace and draw for the activities.

I didn't find anything hard to be honest.

Here it is

Update: I fixed it and added the questions so that you don't get confused on what I'm trying to say. I only did some.

Poppies DLO

For Reading we have been learning and talking about ANZAC stuff.
For this weeks lesson we learned about Poppies and why they're important to people.
A guy made a poem about poppies during the war. He was a doctor named John McCrae.

We had to make a DLO about it and why it's important and respectful for the ANZAC.

I found it hard to try and not copy and words from anything except any example.

I found it easy to decorate and simple.

Here's my work.

ANZAC Mascots DLO

For our Reading we didn't read any passages. We were more focused on making and learning ANZAC Mascots.

ANZAC Mascots are animals/ costumes that did/ will do something in war to cheer people up or to help them.

We had to make a DLO about them. After that we also had to make our own mascot and tell us how it can help soldiers.

I found it hard to try and come up with my own mascot because it's hard to just imagine and draw it for me.

I found it easy to draw and write a DLO, and to draw it and design.

Here it is.



Here's a picture of my mascot

Island in the Sun

For Reading we were given a different passage in each group, And for our group we got a fictional story called "Island in the Sun".

"It's about people finding an island that's full of trees. Everywhere they look, there are trees. So they decided to use the trees to make houses statues and other stuff they could think of. Many people started arriving at the island.

People kept on cutting trees and making statues for a competition. It didn't matter for them because there were so many of them.

Until one day the last tree was found by one man. After that day birds had no where to live so they flew away. The crops were dying because of the sun, and there were no soil. And everyone got sick.

After 3 years The last people remaining, was rescued by a boat and they never came back."

So that's the Story.
By the way we had to do activities. We only had to do 3 or more.

Here's what I did.

Biscuits for the Teacher

For Reading, we had been put in our groups. There's Mars, Saturn, Mercury, and Venus. And I'm in Mercury.

Our reading passage is called "Biscuits for the Teacher", and it's about a kid named Stephen who liked a teacher called Miss Thomas. She's Stephen's favourite teacher.

One day Miss Thomas said that she was gonna transfer into another school, and Stephen was sad. So he decided to make biscuits for her so that she could remember him.

But he couldn't make it without his mum, and his dad can only make icing. So he had to buy some, but accidentally bought Dog Biscuits.

Anyways. We had to do the activities given to us and I managed to do most of them (We didn't have to do them all).

I found nothing hard, really.

I found it easy to do all of them, including the Creating part.

(I didn't use any google images)

Umu and Hangi Underground Cooker

For Reading we had a passage called "Umu", and it's about a school who's having a feast and they wanted to do it Niuean style and it's called "Umu". It was a non-fictional story, and it  was a really interesting passage not gonna lie.

So the main thing I'm going to show you is we had to make our own underground cooker, for Umu and other traditional food cooking. So I decided to create my own one, it's for Hangi and Umu because I don't anymore others.

I found it hard to find a way on how to power the cooker.

I found it easy to draw and explain, It's so fun.

Just letting you know the Solar-powered shelter is connected to the cooker so that it could be powered, and the shelter can be folded so it's inside the cooker .

Here it is my invention ( I guess )

Mousetrap Invention (First one to make it? IDK)

For Reading we had been reading of a fictional story called Mousetraps. It's really fun to read because it's not like other stories where, there are only humans and not a bit of animals.

The story is about a person who has a dad and he's a softie, which means he doesn't like killing things. The person's mum doesn't like mice, but they keep on showing up and poops in the cupboard. (Let's use mouse droppings). So the dad decided to make a trap, but it keeps getting the same mouse all over again and again.

So the main thing I'm doing is making my own mouse trap!! Yes my own one. I still don't know if I was the first person to invent this but I hope so.

I found it hard to create one and figure out how to design it.
I found it easy to draw and to explain it.

I hope you like it.

Harmless Collar ( For Non-Fiction Passage "Penguin Hospital"}

For Reading we had been doing a Non-Fictional Passage, which is called "Penguin Hospital".

It's about a woman called Viv Hextall, who lives at a beach near Wellington. Last year there was a family of penguins who came and lived under their house, after the nesting season they left and went to the sea. Except one.
This one penguin was sick, and Viv Hextall took care of the penguin and made it better. Her house became the "Penguin Hospital" because many injured and sick penguins was washed up in her garden, or sometimes they walk to her doorstep.

Anyways that's what the passage is about. So what I'm trying to do is make a gadget to keep the penguins there, safe.

I found it hard to come up with my own idea, so that people wouldn't think I copied theirs.

I found it easy to draw examples, and write them down.

Here's the picture of what I did.

The Tame Eels of Anatoki Automatic Cage

For Reading we had been given a non-fiction passage, and it's called "The Tame Eels of Anatoki".
It's about a girl called Margaret McCallum ast 1914 she saw a huge eel on her parents' backyard, so she fed him. Sooner and sooner there were more than one eel, she has been feeding eels for 50 years.

Oh, and by the way we had to make our automatic cage for them that's the point.

I found it hard to think of what I should do, because there are so many good options.
I found it easy to draw.

It might be blurry, but I might find another way to make it unblurry.

Hearing Aids App

For Reading in Week 3 we had been given a fictional passage, which means we have to make a story web. But... we are not.
We had to make our own hearing aids (Drawing), so that if it gets lost we would know where to find it. For Example, there can be a button so that your hearing aids could make sound or light.

I found it hard to find an idea on what I should make.
I found it easy to draw, it's fun.

Here's my work... (The stuff might be blurry and be cut but I don't care)

Happy Hens Information Web

For Reading, the group "Charlie" has been given a non-fiction passage. It's called "Happy Hens".
It's about Zachary and his family, they own a farm which has 3,000 hens.

I found it hard to write down information in my own words because copying the words is cheating.
I found it easy to make it up and post it.

Here it is...

Taonga Poster

For Integrated Learning/ Topic, we had been learning about Taonga.

Taonga is like a treasure or something precious that you own, which means that you really love it and it's really precious to you.
The precious thing I own is my blanket, I've had it since I was 4 years old, and now I'm 11 years old. Which means that It was very precious to me, and I would never try to lose it.

Anyways what we had to do, was to draw stuff to represent what is Taonga. It was really fun because we also couldn't add words in it, which was really challenging.

I found it hard to not put words because it could be much easier with words.
I found it easy to draw all the stuff down (I like drawing).

Here's what I made...
And the blanket right there is my blanket, kinda looks like the real one.

Farmer Chas and his dogs T4W1 Information Web

For Reading in Term 4 we have a non-fictional passage, and it's called "Farmer Chas and his dogs".
It's a pretty interesting passage because there are dogs, and I love dogs.

I found it hard to not parrot and just try to write stuff down, in my own words.
I found it easy to seperate them all into paragraphs so that it has the TIpTOp.

What is a Fire Tornado? Infographic

For Reading we were given a non-fictional passage, and it was really fun learning about Fire Tornadoes because I didn't even know it existed. We had to make an Infographic to show you guys what I learnt about it and how it forms into one.
I found it hard to make the Infographic because sometimes it takes time.
I found it easy to write down the stuff and explain it.

Here's my work...


I hope you enjoyed it thanks for looking at it!!

What Causes Rain? Infographic

For our Reading group "Charlie" we had a non-fictional explanation writing, and we needed to make an Infographic to show you guys How rain works, and What Causes Rain.
I tried my best to do these so please just comment down, if you think I didn't do something right, or I didn't include something.

I found it hard to write down the information, and the order in my own words because it's kinda hard to not copy.

I found it easy to make the Drawings, and the explanation.

I hope you enjoy it and it's decent (really)

Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori Language Week DLO (Unfinished)

For Reading We are learning to finish the tasks we were given and we had to do it all and put it on one DLO, I haven't finished but I will soon.

I found it really hard to find information about it and I found it hard to do them all at one day.
I found it easy to write down the stuff, and make the symbol.

Thank you if you like it even though it's not finished yet.
