 Talofa Readers!

We had to make each slide a different tip. 

I found that it was hard to find images

What I enjoyed was using nice colours and watching the Lucas The Spider.

Red Pandas Information Report

Kia Ora Reader!

I hope you are having a good day.

Last week we wrote information reports about an endangered animal of our choice there were 12 options;

Mountain Gorilla

Sea Turtles

Polar Bear

Javan Rhino

Hectors Dolphin

Red Panda

Sumatran Elephant 

Sunda Tigers

Snow Leopard

Blue Whale

African Wild Dog

Giant Panda


I chose to do a red panda they are sooo cute. 


I mean look at that! Adorable. 
It was challenging to think of sentence starters.
I enjoyed using researching red pandas as they are very cute and interesting.
Here is my report, I hope you like it, I worked hard on it. 

Red Pandas'


Introduction

Have you ever heard of a red panda? Although they are ‘red pandas’ they look more orangey-brown and they look more like raccoons then pandas. So really they are orange raccoons!


Why are they endangered? 

Red pandas (or orange raccoons) are endangered because they accidentally get caught in traps set for Boar and Deer, being killed. They are also sold on the black pet market where they are kept as pets in an unfamiliar environment where they will most likely not have the necessities they need to live. Sometimes they are also poached so that their fur can be used in clothing. 



Diet

Red pandas are omnivores. They eat leaves, fruit & berries, bird eggs, small lizards and insects. Most people assume that because they have Panda in their name that they would eat bamboo, however, they find it hard to digest because unlike pandas they are much smaller therefore less space for digesting. They have a reasonably simple diet and don't have to go far to get their meals.



Habitat

Red pandas live in Himalayan places such as China, Nepal, Bhutan. They live in trees in high altitude forests in china. They also like high temperature places which is why they like the higher up forests, the heat reaches them more directly. They are killed in their habitats which is very sad because of the reasons I listed earlier on.



Conclusion

To conclude, red pandas are very cute so are sold illegally, taking them away from their natural habitat and diet to be kept as illegal pets.


I hope you learnt something?!
See you later!

Te Reo Maori Screencastify Task

 Hewo! :3

How are you today? 

Today me and my buddy Son did a recording teaching you about how to ask questions and give answers in Te Reo Maori. 


I really enjoyed doing the recordings but we found writing the script quite challenging. 

I think my favourite part was writing the script, even though I said it was challenging!


Want to see our video? Here it is!



PS: Sorry about the background noises we were recording in the toilet hallway! 😬 😳 🤦

Student Summit 2021!

Kia Ora Readers!


 Last week Me and 15 other students went to Hornby Primary. Everybody in the Uru Manuka cluster came. These include Gilbathorbes, St. Bernadette's, South Hornby School (Us), Hornby Primary, Hornby High and Wigram Primary. If you don’t know what the student summit is, it's where once every year all the schools in our cluster come together and teach each other things. I was a presenter along with Ella-Pearl and An, we were teaching other kids how to use Codey Rockeys’. There are student workshops and before you go you do a google form and say what workshops you want to go to. If you aren’t presenting you get to choose 4 workshops but if you are you only get to choose 2. 


My first activity was Book Creator. It was really fun. We only got about 20 minutes for each session so I didn’t get past the front cover. I won’t add it in because it is not completed. My second activity was Upgrading Your Google Slides.I will add that one in but again we only had 20 minutes so I only got the front page and first slide done. I only did my mihi on the second page. After that it was morning tea. Then came my presentation… 


In my first group there were about 10 kids. We had to show them a video and read out a Google Slide before we could let them start. After the presentation we could let them start the tutorial, since there weren’t enough robots for one each there were 2 between 3. We also showed them a few pieces of code on my Chromebook and the colour recognition feature.


I enjoyed doing my presentation with Ella-Pearl and An.

It was challenging figuring out how to make the text bigger on Book Creator.



All About Me


Our presentation

I had lots of fun at this years Student Summit and really enjoyed the experience!

Bye Readers!

Matariki Shape Poems!

 Hey Readers!

Yesterday and today we have been writing shape poems on Matariki.

We could choose to write about Stories, Celebrations, Stars or the Food.

We could also choose which shape we made it into as long as it was related to Matariki.

I chose stars, for both.

⭐⭐⭐

I had time to write 2 poems so I did.


It was challenging thinking of what size and shape it should be.
I enjoyed using google drawing to create my poem.

Have you ever written a shape poem or learned about Matariki?

See you next post!
