Today I played this game about ordering fractions. I think that I need to practice more ordering fractions, because I only got 25% witch I think is bad.
I am a Year 8 student at Panmure Bridge School in Auckland, NZ. I am in Learning Space 2 and my teachers are Mrs Anderson and Ms Kirkpatrick.

Why it is so important to keep oral storytelling alive?
Oral storytelling is a great way to keep the Maori stories, alive. This is a very important tradition to pass down, from generation to generation.
In LS2 we have been looking at Myths and Legends. With a buddy you needed to watch three videos with subtitles. I then had a learning conversation with my partner (Oh Hsen). We have worked collaboratively for the last part of this activity, which was to write a very powerful 25 word summary, on why it is important to keep oral storytelling alive. The text above is our summary.

Explore Maori Myth and Legends
In LS2 we have been exploring Maori myths and legends. We decided to make a storyboard that about Maui slowing the sun. Oh Hsen and I have used Dialogue to explain what's going on, we had to show not tell. In this myth, Maui doesn't have enough time to do his daily things. I found it challenging to pick the right characters, and the type of color that you wanted. I also found hard to pick the right background for one scene because most of the other backgrounds did not match with the scene that we did.
Maths - Ordering fractions
Today I have played a game called ordering factions. This game has really helped know how to order factions.
