For the Summer Learning Journey activity we created an origami fish by using a video that instructs us to create this fish in the Summer Learning Journey link.We had a choice if we wanted to decorate the fish, so I decided to add circles and it symbolises bubbles.
I enjoyed this activity because I got to test my origami skills but it wasn’t that difficult.
I have made a poster thats shows one of the most dangerous fish in the world that tells people “Do not approach!!” since approaching it will put you into danger.

I enjoyed this task as I got to learn more about stonefish. as I didn’t know that stone fish were one of the most dangerous fish in the sea.
Today we used Papyrus AI which is a generative AI that uses patterns in words and a large language model (LLM) to predict what ideas we might write next. Papyrus AI has been very helpful, making my story sound powerful and allowing me to visualize it in my head. I found it challenging when it gave me too many suggestions but I would definitely like to use Papyrus AI again. It was a fun way to write a story.
Secrets of the Enchanted Forest
One day, a cheerful little girl named Red Riding Hood was sent by her mother to visit her dear granny, who lived on the other side of a dark, windy, and echoey forest. As she tucked her jumper around her shoulders, her mother held her hands with a worried expression, whispering, “Please, my darling, beware of strangers.” Red Riding Hood nodded, feeling a mix of confidence and nerves as she stepped into the mysterious forest.
Her journey through the woods was enchanting but unsettling. Every rustle of the leaves and whisper of the wind seemed to carry an unspoken warning. Just as tears began to prick her eyes from both fear and determination, she spotted a familiar figure ahead.
Snow White stood there, her bright smile like a warm hug, bringing comfort to Red Riding Hood. With genuine concern and kindness, Snow White offered to accompany her, empathising with the little girl’s bravery.
When they reached the brilliantly colourful yet strangely foreboding house, Red Riding Hood felt a mix of relief and unease. Her heart quickened as she entered, a slight tremor in her voice as she called out, “Nanny, why do you look so strange?” The room held its breath in silence, which was soon shattered by the terrifying reveal of the wolf in disguise. Fear gripped Red Riding Hood as she realised the danger.
Snow White, driven by fear and determination, ran to find the prince, her heart pounding with urgency and hope. Her voice shook as she explained the situation, but the prince and his guards sprang into action, motivated by her sincere plea.
Upon returning, they cleverly lured the wolf with poisoned apples, the beast falling for the ruse with greedy eagerness. Once the wolf lay vanquished, peace returned to the forest clearing.
With the ordeal over, Red Riding Hood fell into Snow White’s embrace, tears of relief and gratitude flowing freely. She now understood the weight of her mother’s caution and the power of kindness. From that day forward, she promised to cherish those who love her and to face the world with courage and care.
In a kingdom where magical woods stretched as far as the eye could see, young Red Riding Hood was tasked by her mother to bring a basket of muffins to her grandmother. Not far from the winding forest path lived Snow White with her seven cheerful dwarfs. Red Riding Hood, stepping into the enchanted forest, was reminded to be cautious around strangers. The sun peeked through the branches, casting playful shadows on the ground. Her curiosity was piqued by the colourful flowers lining her route, and as she paused to gather them, she felt a sudden chill of unease.
As Red Riding Hood turned around, she was face-to-face with the Big Bad Wolf, who pretended to be friendly but had mischievous eyes. Nearby, Snow White was busy with her chores, not knowing anything was wrong. Once everything was safe again, Red Riding Hood hugged Snow White, tears of relief and gratitude falling from her eyes. She understood her mother’s warning about strangers and learned the value of kindness, promising to cherish her loved ones and live with courage and care.

We learnt how to subtract decimal numbers by using the algorithm strategy. Something I found very helpful was remembering to borrow from the next number if the number you are subtracting is higher than what you are subtracting it from. Another helpful tip is by putting the bigger number on top that way it wont be that confusing.
I found this interesting because now I can subtract decimals by using the algorithm strategy easily.
For this activity we were challenge to research about why sleep is important and healthy. We were first given questions to answer about using videos andarticles to find the information we needed. Some questions we answered were “What are the effect of not getting enough sleep, Why is sleeping healthy, and what are the side effects of not getting enough or too much sleep “.
I enjoyed this activity because I learnt why sleeping is important as well as getting to use my smart searching skills to answer the questions.
We created birthday hats to celebrate Duffy’s 30th Birthday. We first started by searching for some ideas aswell as planing on how I would like my hat to turn out as. For my Duffy birthday hat I first start off with the number 30th as it was the easiest and simplest design. As I was thinking about more designs someone recommended some confetti’s on my hat as it would fill in all the blank spots , but I had a massive gap behind my hat so I decided to add “hip hip hooray” as it was a birthday celebration. Lastly to finish off my hat I decided to add on an paper flower and some gliter to bring some bling into my crown.
I enjoyed this activity because I got to use my smart searching skills as well as my imaginary to create something.
To celebrate Duffy’s 30th birthday Panmure bridge hosted an assembly with cake and surprises such as party hats, party poppers, and our duffy boxes. To celebrate 30 years of Duffy books in homes we were given a oppertunity to create our own libary box where we could store our duffy books that we have at home. Each class were able to create their own box aswell as it being on the stage at assembly to show their amazing work. Duffy is a company that started in 1994, founded by Alan Duff. He found out that there were schools with students that live in bookless homes. So he started Duffy books in homes to provide books to children without the privillege of having books.
We also had some special guest from Duffy books in home progame and they have talked about their experience with Duffy books and what their favourite books. Some of our teachers also shared what their favourite books, and to finish it off we sang Happy brithday in English and Maori, and we also sang the Duffy song with actions.
I found this fun because Duffy books in home is a program that help with many schools who dont have a oppourtunity and also it helps with your reading skills.
Multiplication is easy when you know the rules and what negative numbers are. Negative numbers are numbers that have a lower value of zero. Like -1, 1 is lower than 0. Negative multiplied by a positive number will always become a negative number. For example -5 x 5 =-25, because when you multiply a negative number with a positive number it will always become a negative number. But when multiplying a negative by a negative the outcome will always be a positive. For example -6x-6 will be 36. The answer will not be a negative because you are multiplying a negative number by a negative number.
I found this task a bit chanllenging because I can get confused most times when both numbers are negitave.
Last week friday was our last rotation for paper mache as we were making masks , as halloween is coming up. We first started off by blowing up a balllon that is the same size as our faces so that the paper mache would fit. After, we then used pva glue and little bits of paper to stick onto our ballon as it slowly becomes into a mask, you should always make sure you have at least 4 layers as it is more stable. This process is called paper mache , once we come back to tech we then started shaping the objects we want on the mask eg: eyes, nose, ears, and horns. we then use a bigger paper to shape our object and do the same steps we first did. After that week we came back and start getting into painting and adding things to our mask to make it stand out more, but first I planed what I would like my mask to turn out as. So I went with a venom kind of vibe. After painting I then started adding glitter to make mine shine out abit more, also adding googole eyes to make it seem kind of scary.
I enjoyed this task because I was able to use my imagination and creativity to create my mask.
