Informative DLO - Primary and Secondary sources

Last week we did a DLO about primary and secondary sources if we were done. It is important to know what primary and secondary sources are because if you didn't know the difference between primary and secondary you won't know what was written at the time and what was written years later. We could of made a DLO with a partner and my partner was Alexia. Here is Alexia's blog link. Here is the DLO

Six Photographs

Today we started hurumanu 1, hurumanu 1 is called "Who are we". In this hurunamu we do Social Science and Reading. We are learning to understand the importance of history. We had to read a book called "Six Photographs". In the book there are photo from 1874-1876, 1880s, 1897, 1888 and 1894. After we read the story we had to go onto a doc and copy it and put it in our hur 1 folder then fill it out. I learnt that in the olden days it would take 10 seconds to take one photo and if they moved there would be a blur. Here is the work form the doc I did and a photo from the book.
