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.

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!

Pixel Art and Brain Teaser!

 Hi Readers!


Pixel Art

Today for Maths we had to do a pixel art activity on google forms. 

It was made very cleverly so that if you type the right answer into the blue box it adds more pixels every time you get the right answer. 

Eventually it makes a surprise picture here is the link if you want to do it.

Digital Art

Here is mine:



Brain Teaser

Today in Maths we did a Brain teaser.
It involved Bananas, Apples and Coconuts. 

The problem was: 
🍎+🍎+🍎= 30 
🍎+🍌+🍌= 18
🍌-🥥= 2
🍎+🍌+🥥= ?

So basically we had to figure out what each fruit equalled. 

I figured out that 3 tens are 30 so 🍎 is 10
2 4s' are 8. 8 plus 10 is 18. So 🍌 is 4.
And 4 takeaway 2 is 2 so is 🥥 is 2. 
10+4+2=16

Here is my work:


Bye Readers,
See You next time!

Tectonic Plates and Volcanoes

Tectonic Plates

For the first 2 weeks of this term we have been learning about Tectonic Plates and Volcanoes which is under the topic of planet Earth and Beyond. We have been doing lessons in homerooms.


I think it was fun learning about Tectonic Plates and about how mountains are created. It was challenging learning about all the fault lines. 

Have you ever learnt about Tectonic Plates?

Sorry it's a short post today there wasn't much to write, most of the information is in my DLO. 

Bye!
