Saint Basil's Cathedral & The Right to Vote

 

Today for literacy, I completed two Summer Learning Journey activities! My first activity I had to do was to make a google drawing with a description about the Saint Basil's Cathedral. My second activity was to write my opinion on women not being allowed to vote in Saudi Arabia until 2015. Enjoy! 

Manaiakalani Film Festival

On Wednesday 11, Glen Taylor school went to Hoyts Cinemas in Sylvia Park to watch the Manaiakalani flims! 

The people in my team was Faiana, Paris, Tracey and Syc. Our flim "A Message From Glen Taylor School" got picked! Our presenters were 'Hope & Faiana'. Our school was partnered up with St Pius Catholic School. We also saw Tamaki College, St Patricks and Pt England's films! 

Overall it was an amazing experience and I can't wait to go next year!

Photosynthesis

In class, Mr Victor told us to make a slideshow (or document) about photosynthesis! I found out that Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make their own food. This topic was really interesting and since Photosynthesis is a new topic to me, I found out a lot of new information. Enjoy! 

May Myat Waso

For artist studies, Tracey, SYC and I made a slideshow about 'May Myat Waso'. She is a Burmese fashion designer that is known world wide. May Myat Waso is known for making traditional Myanmar dresses. She also won the Best in Vogue at the 2019 Myanmar's Pride Awards. Enjoy! 

Tech - Science

Yesterday at tech, I had my first (in real life) session at science class. We were learning about electricity and how we could save energy. Firstly, we learnt about different ways on how to save power and why we should! Here are some ways to save power - Always turn off the lights when not using, make sure to never leave the tap on when not using, take shorter showers and always remember to turn off the plugs. We also learnt on how to make a light bulb lit up by using 4 materials. This was a great experience!

Maori Language Week

This week is 'Maori Language Week' which is a very important week for New Zealand. At Glen Taylor School, we celebrated Maori Language Week by having a hangi and learning how to play the traditional game 'Poi Rakau'. The hangi was very delicious and it was a great experience having a taste of the Maori culture. Poi Rakau was so much fun and I would love to play it again!
