Kawa Of Care Agreement And Keeping Your Password Safe !

Welcome back Bloggers! I can't believe that it is 2018 all ready.

DLO time, If you don't know what  DLO is then you are in for a treat. DLO stands for Digital Learning Object. and for some in our class it was their first. Last year we signed an agreement when we got our Chromebooks, the agreement was called Kawa of Care. A part of it was keeping our password a secret. I made I digital poster with my good Friends, Shabeera and Skye. Here is our DLO:

And here is a short video:

Thank you guys for watching our video, Did you like it or think it was funny? My favourite part was doing the video, and my least favourite part was picking the background colour!
Have you made a DLO before ? I hope you guys liked my blog post about the Kawa of Care and keeping your Chromebook password safe! Please feel free to leave a positive comment. Bye bloggers!

Maui and the giant fish, Summer Learning Journey !!!

Welcome back Blog buddies, I have been a little bit lazy when it's come to blogging. Anyway today I looked at the category " In the beginning "on the summer learning journey. I had to read this short story here. It was the story about how New Zealand was created. 

In this short story I learnt that:

1. Maui covered his fish hook in his own blood

2. he hid in the hull of the Waka

3. Maui had a lot of brothers

Some other story's I have heard of  that include Maui are:

How Maui defined  the Goddess of death

How Maui found the secret of fire 

How Maui slowed the sun

I liked this activity because I am Maori, and it made me think more about were i'm from.

I would recommend doing this because all the activity's are fun !

Stay tuned for more, Bye bloggers

Wacky wheels day !

Wow what a wacky Monday we had, Slip n ' slides, pool time, games, wheels that you will not see and more.You might have noticed that we had our wheels day. Everybody came in mufti to have fun on the slip 'n slide  and splash in the pool. You could bring your wheels like Scooters, skateboards, bikes, RC cars and more. The school provided trolley boards to whizz around on. Here are some photos of the day. If they have blogs there links will be at the bottom !

Ha, those photos were funny, do you like wheels? My favourite part of the day was the slip n' slide. We did games on  the field, like capture the flag and giant dominoes. I learnt how to play chess as well. I hope you liked my blog post about my fun on Monday, I will posting more over the summer holidays. I will be participating in the summer learning journey. ( Btw not everybody in the photos will have links )
Hope you liked it, feel free to leave a positive comment, Bye bloggers.

The whale rescue !

Hey bloggers, I have done some research on whales. This was a old activity on the summer learning journey. This article was about whales washing up on a beach. The beach was called Farewell spit. They called the beach ' A whale graveyard '  Here are some photos of not washed up whales.

Ok I lied I did show a picture of washed up whales. Locals at Farewell Spit are thinking that whales are following others and they all end up washing up on the beach. The locals say that since the 10th of February about 300 whales have washed up on Farewell spit alone. Isn't that crazy imagine if 300 people were lying on your school field, now that would be crazy. More locals say that the whales can't live without us pouring water on them. Boy would they love it when it rains. for more about whales go to this link right here. I will be posting more over the summer so stay tuned, Feel free to leave a positive comment. Bye bloggers.

Marine Metered Square Trip

Hey blog buddies, earlier this year we went on a trip down to our local beach. Waikowhai bay it was called. Maybe that is your local beach to. My Mum came to help us. We put a meter square on the sand and investigated what lived down there. Here are some photos of the day.

It was really fun, my favourite part was investigating what was in our square. However on the way back I wasn't paying a lot of attention to where I was going so I WALKED INTO A TREE, but I got over that. We entered our information into a website called MM2 which meant Marine metered squared. I hoped you liked my blog post about our investigations, Feel free to leave a positive and motivating comment, hold on I am going to be posting over the summer about the summer learning journey. Blog you later.

This the link that will take you to the website

Pepeha time

Hey blog buddies, this week I wrote a pepeha. A pepeha is a way to introduce yourself in Maori. We did a full pepeha saying who you are, where you from, your mountain, your grand parents and so on and so on. My favourite part was doing were I am from. I took a couple photos and made a screencastify hope you like them. 

The hardest part was making the toku toku panel paterns. Drawing them was very hard but they were fun to create. Writing the pepeha was not that hard. 
My favourite part was writing my pepeha because I thought of my family when I was doing it.
Please feel free to leave a positive comment, bye bloggers.
