Activity 2: NAIDOC Youth of the Year

Working out: so if Jessa was born in 1985 and got her award at 2010. We know that  1985 + 25 that would make 2010. Jessa was born on  April and got her award on july that would be 3 months because they are 3 months apart. Also she was born on the 7th and got it on the 9th witch is 2 days apart so the total  will be 25 years, 3 months and 2 day when she got her award.

This week for day 2, activity 3 of week 2 for SLJ, we were to figure out Dr Jessa Rogers age when she got her award. Above there is my final answer and working out.

Activity one New Zealand

This week is the Manaiakalani SLJ Teaser week. This poster included different facts about Lorde. Today Sakina and Tuku and I were making a profile poster about the NZ singer Lorde. This was our first day/activity of the summer learning journey. I was surprised to hear the Taylor swift is very close to Lorde like a best Friend and that she was only 13 when she made her 1st record.

Leader script

Kia Ora, My name is Taheesha. This is why I should become the Manaiakalani   Leader of 2020. A school leader shows confidence, attitude, respect, excellence and innovation. I know I would be able to take on that ownership and represent our school. If I became a Manaiakalani leader I would have the proper skills and what it takes to be a leader . While being a leader I can take part in social digital activities. I would inspire and motivate people when working and learning online, and I would love to be a school leader for the simple fact that I know I have the privilege of being an amazing leader. This is why I think I should have the responsibility of being a Manaiakalani leader in 2020. I can show great teamwork and leadership during tasks and collaborative activities. Thank you for listening and this is why I should become a Manaiakalani leader. 

That is my speech of why I should become a Manaiakalani leader. I hope I do achieve my goal and be confidant and hope I do become a leader. If I do have the great opportunity to be a leader so I can show how I can represent the school and become someone who people look up to. I also heard different speeches I thought they had very great detail and hope they get the chance to be a amazing leader.

Pick a path

For this Miiana and I were partners for making our pick a path stories. This was some of our planning to what we might want to do. We also made it colour coded to know what order our script would go in.we decided to make the story about the three little pigs because we thought it would be an easier Fairytale or story to make a pick a path out of.
