2024 Review

This year, I’ve looked back at my progress in confidence, attitude, respect, and excellence. I thought about my favourite moments, the tasks I’m most proud of, and the challenges I faced. Did I improve this year? Yes I think I improved a lot this year. 

Check out my slides to see my highlights and reflections from this year! 

 

Comparing Ideas Across Texts

  •  This week, we compared ideas from three different texts, including “Namesake” by Shriya Bhagwat. In this story, a girl struggles with her identity and cultural background while trying to fit in with her family and new surroundings.

 

We talked about the themes of identity and belonging in the story and how they connect to the other texts we read. By creating a Google Slides poster, we showed our comparisons, pointing out the similarities and differences between the texts. This helped us understand the themes better and think critically about their messages.

A Tale of Friendship and Adventure

Ariel is a mermaid who lives in the enchanted kingdom beneath the depths of the ocean called Atlantis. She is curious about the world above the sea. Belle, a girl who was once imprisoned in a castle with a beast, now enjoys exploring beyond the walls that once held her captive. One day, Ariel makes a brave decision. She trades her voice for legs, hoping to explore the land with wonder. Without knowing how to walk, Ariel struggles, tumbling onto the shore.

 

Belle notices Ariel from a distance. Thinking that Ariel might have been pushed ashore, Belle hurries to help. As she reaches Ariel, she realises Ariel’s confusion and nervousness. “Do you need help?” Belle asks softly as she helps Ariel up. Belle takes Ariel to her home and offers her some dry clothes.

 

After Ariel changes into the dry clothes, Belle gives her a tour of the kingdom. She teaches Ariel how to use utensils and shows her how to sit in a chair. They have so much fun together that Ariel forgets her nervousness. Even without a voice, Ariel’s laughter and smiles say everything.

 

But trouble is near. Ursula, who used dark magic to take Ariel’s voice, is watching them. She feels threatened by their growing friendship and plans to break the bond between them. Emerging from the ocean, Ursula attacks Ariel and Belle. Ariel, though unable to speak, is determined to protect her new friend.

 

During the battle, Ariel finds her inner strength and, miraculously, her voice returns. With a determined spirit, she fights back, forcing Ursula to retreat into the depths of the ocean.

Belle and Ariel celebrate their victory. Now that Ariel can talk, they share stories and laughter, cherishing their friendship. With a heart full of gratitude and joy, Ariel says goodbye to Belle, promising to visit the land again someday. Until then, the bond they’ve created will remain, bridging the ocean and the land.

LI: To write a narrative from an AI prompt

This week we got to explore Papyrus AI in Writing.  Papyrus AI is a generative AI which has to do with creating things. We used it to help us write a narrative story that incorporated two different fairy tales : Beauty and the Beast, and The Little Mermaid.  Papyrus asked us for our ideas, and gave us feedback to improve our paragraphs, until we had completed our whole narrative story.

Class Party Plan – Maths

For week six and seven LS1 planned a class party plan. There were six different groups and I was in group 1. We had to calculate food, drinks, snacks, and dessert for the class party and buy them based on the budget. Group 1’s budget was $600 and we ended up at $536.46 dollars and cents. We added how the party would look like and how everything is in place (e.g tables, chairs, eating place etc). After we finished our maths party work plan we presented our Maths to our class.
I enjoyed this task because it was fun to add different things and plan different things. I did well on calculating the food prices.

 

Fake News Tablet Template

Today the subject for cybersmart is “Fake News”.  I needed to create my own “Fake News” article, I had to choose between Phone or tablet to write my fake article.  My fake article needed to include “No reliable source. The name of the newspaper looks strange/funny, an eye-catching title,Funny content. We can tell it is a joke because of how silly and unbelievable the ideas are,Spelling mistakes.

Some spelling mistakes in your story,  The news is quite spectacular. The more spectacular a piece of fake news is the more chance people will click on it, Not a real person The name seems to be fake and an emoji has been used instead of a photo of the reporter. The name sounds like a pun and Incorrect photo.
