PBL rotations

Hi my name is Dejon and I am going to talk about my PBL rotations.


1. Our first rotation was about Waitangi Day. Waitangi Day is when the Europeans met the Maoris. They had a big war but then they signed a Treaty to peace.


2. Next, we learnt about world war 2 and 1. So we learned about how people got cover and stuff like that. I did a kahoot about facts about world war 1.


3. Last, we did new New Zealand disasters I chose a train that had 285 then a lot off the people died.
Her is a link to my train work. we video


So what rotation do you like?

Going back in time to ferry mead

Hi My name is Dejon and I am going to talk about my tripe to go back in time. On the 29th of October My hub went to ferry mead. In ferry mead it looked like going back in time because they made a real town that looked as if it was 1910. Wen we arrived we had to dress up as if we where going to school in 1940 This is what we looked like.

After that they we had some rules. Some of the rules where ladies first never slouch and that was a bit hard. After that we got into groups and we walked around the town. here is some images of the town.

So we got into groups and walked around the town. So we watch a old movie but very short and we even got to look at some homes that was made a very long time ago. Then we went to look what school was like 100 years ago. we even had to use a feather ink pen.


So how would you like to go back in time with ferry mead?

The letter from parihaka

                       Dear Sir John

Dear Sir John.
I am so ashamed that you sent your soldiers to come and destroy our village. We didn't even fight your soldiers back and we even gave bread to the soldiers. I am so angry to have to write a letter to you  I strongly believe that you should stand down your men.

Winter sport 2019

Hi my name is Dejon and I am going to talk about my winter sport. Winter sport is a thing where all the schools do in winter. Winter sport is where you have a choice of playing soccer,netball,ruby,and hockey. I did soccer because its my Favorited sport. My position is defender because I like to get the ball of people and then kick it up to the strikers. My team is called Hawks. I am in the A team because I am really good at soccer. There is the a team fore grate players and theirs A team and c team. Last year I was in the c team because I wasn't that good but this year I am so much better so they put me in the A team!

 2 of my highlights. One of then was wen it was a Conner fore the other team so I was marking a player in the box. Then they kicked into the box so made the ball slide of my nee so then nobody could score a goal. number two was wen a player was dribbling the ball and about to score a goal but then I slide tackle him and got the ball away from him.

 Some of my failures. One of them was wen I was trying to get the ball of a another player then I slide tacked him but I missed so he got away. Another one was where I was going to tackle a player but he pasted the ball and got away.
Some games we one and some games we lost but we still did very well. In the hole tournament my team came forth so that is very good.

This is a image of my team and I am the tallest person there.  Today is  Thursday the 15th of August and it was our last game today an then it's over, no more winter sport! But there's always next year. Winter sport has helped me get better at sport because I do it every Thursday and I even play fore a club called Western. 

My skills have increased over the time so I have got so much better at soccer. I want to try something new but I like soccer a lot so I always chose soccer.

So do you like the idea of winter sport? Maybe you should do it. Tell me about your experience.


                     

Plastic bank

Hi my name is Dejon and this term we have being looking at a article called plastic bank. In plastic bank people trad plastic for money. A man called David created plastic bank. He was sad about all the plastic that was going to the ocean so he tired to stop by creating plastic bank. Here Is the link to the article about plastic bank

The Plastic Bank

So far plastic bank has saved 7 million pounds of plastic (over 3 million kilograms) of plastic out of the ocean!

The main ideas from this article are:

A man named David Katz was upset about all the plastic going into the oceans.

He had a idea to create plastic bank.

He has helped save a lot of rubbish from going into the ocean.

This made me think that plastic bank should be all around the world

You can help the environment by

1 don't use the car to much because it uses fossil fuels 

2 don't use single used plastic because it will go to landfill

3 don't litter  because it can easily go in the ocean because plastic is lite.

So do you want to make a change and help he environment or not?

my speech about the purpose of life

 1

What is the purpose of life


Hi my name is Dejon and I am going to talk about what is the purpose of life. I hope you like my blog.
Eleanor Roosevelt once said that the purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to  the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.



You are here for a reason. Plain and simple. That's why you're alive. That's why you must continue to live, and that's why you must fight for your life. Your reason may not be obvious to you; it may not be something you genetically know from the start. You may not discover your reason until much later in life. It may even become clear that you have several reasons for being alive. It's okay to make up your own reasons, too.

What I think is the purpose of life



The purpose of my life is to use my ability to encourage and uplift others in a fun way by taking part in conversation, giving up my time, spending quality time with family and friends, and masterminding with others so that I am able to have a positive impact on the world and make it a cooler place for everyone to live.The  purpose of being alive is about happiness and to evolve of being how you were

meant to be on this planet. The purpose of life is to be happy and to honour God and the Holy Spirit. No one knows for sure why we were made and that is the purpose of life. I think God just could predict the future. But one day we will know for sure what we were made for.

People sharing what is the purpose of life





A few famous people shared their take on the purpose of life. The Dalai Lama said, “Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.”  Pablo Picasso also said and I quote, “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.”

What is the purpose of life from God






The bible tends to approach things from the other end: God's purpose for creating humans, rather than from our side, the purpose of life. A verse from the bible: "Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. I hoped you liked my speech the end.

My super PBL

PBL - Term 1

Hi my name is Dejon and this term our Project Based Learning (PBL) has been about kindness and the big question was: How can we build community through our actions?

First, we explored some collaborative activities and discussed how we could include kindness and build a sense of community through our actions at camp. Next, we were organised into groups where we had to unpack the above question. In our groups we considered how we could spread community and kindness through our entire school community. We decided that we would offer something that was free and would make others happy

Reflection: we got rocks and painted them and put love hearts on them and then hid them for the whole school and after school the children at St Francis  went to find them. We thought it was a nice idea.

For our final product our group had to hide the rocks for the school students to find.

How did our action build a sense of community in the school? Because the school were having a good time and it was a kind thing to do and it was fun.

I contributed by hiding the rocks for the juniors, I also painted the rocks and worked my team.

I think the PBL might impact on others by making them now that kindness is fun when you show it.

What I learned about working with others is listening to the group because if you do you can get good ideas and you can get lots of work done and it was a good group because we could not paint the rocks at the last second we needed a time ling

Question - so if you were to do something kind for the school what will you do?
