Crazy Commenting !

Welcome back blog buddies, today in Cybersmart we commented on one of our friends blog post then on this rubric below copied and Pasted the comment and figured out what we could change. 

First we had to check the comment for punctuation, grammar and spelling,

Second we had to check it it followed the PTH ( Positive, Thoughtful and helpful ) rule and if it had a question. Lastly we had to read it, check it with a buddy and see if it was fully completed the PTH.

Here It Is :

The Red is all the stuff I changed. If you wrote this comment what would you change? My favourite part was adding the question, and my least favourite part was having to highlight the changes in red. Fell free to leave a Positive, Thoughtful and Helpful comment. Blog you later, Bye.
Thanks to Skye and Shabeera for being my buddy's today.

In depth day with Des Hunt

Hey blog buddies, part of week three was Amazing. A Bestselling Author from our country New Zealand came to visit our school and do workshops with some people !
In the presentation with the year 5 and 6 students he told us about one of his Favourite books " The Last Tuatara " and how he sent it of to loads of publishers
but none of them accepted to publish the book. So he stopped writing for 3 years until he read a book called " Rejects "
 Here Are some cool photos !

Now you have seen all the photos I made a slideshow with all my information about one of his larger books ' Sunken Forest'.
Here it  is !

Have you read one of his books ? I have 2 of them and they are signed because we could buy them and he would sign them in front of us ( wow ), I have ' Deadly Feathers ' and ' Search For The Kiwi Killer '  Do you like the slideshow or photos/ If you do please tell me that by leaving a Positive, Thoughtful and Helpful comment ( i will reply )!  Blog you later, Bye.

Terrific Tiritiri Matangi

Welcome back blog buddies, In week 5 we went to Tiritiri Matangi to look at and investigate our Native wild life wildlife. We had one tour guide between two groups.
We spent 3 hours on the ferry and 40 minutes on the bus altogether.
I liked the bus ride back because we got to watch Moana!
Here are some cool photos !

Now you saw the photos would you like to go ?  My favourite part was going on the ferry and watching all the birds eat and play ! I was in a group with Shabeera, Bruno, Ben , and Alex .Have you have been to Tiritiri Matangi Island ?  If you would like to tell me then leave a Positive, Thoughtful and Helpful comment .  Thanks for reading! Blog you later, Bye.

The Elevated Explorer

Welcome back blog buddies, Today I am going to share a ' Flood proof house '
We read the story Building for the future. If you would like to check it out click this link !  Our house has to withstand a storm / flood and we brainstormed some things
like :
What your house could include :

• Poles for the wind to pass through 
• Transportable house 
• A border 
• Strong foundations 

Here is my DLO* 

My house includes three ' Houses ', one of the three is elevated with stairs attaching the elevating house.
My favourite part was building the elevated house and adding the stairs. Do you think this would withstand a ( small ) storm ? If you thought my house was cool please let me know by leaving a positive thoughtful and helpful  comment. ( I will reply ) Blog you later, Bye.

A remembrance of Anzac Day / WW1

Hey Blog Buddies, You probably all know  that Anzac Day is very big for New Zealand and Australia.
The first thing I learnt about War WW1 in particular  is the " New Zealand Solider Known unto God " Means they were lost at sea, lost in general or blown up.
They have Little "dog" tag like things that they pined onto their jacket so when they died they knew who they were !
We made a little cross patch at our school, me and my Friends took some photos.
Here they are:

As a Guide I marched in one of the Many Anzac services!
Unfortunately I have no photos of me in my uniform : (
what did you do on ANZAC day ?????????????
My class Hauraki put out all the crosses : )
What ANZAC stands for :
A - Australia
N - New
Z- Zealand
A - army
C - Corps 
Please feel free to leave a positive and thoughtful comment.
Bye Bloggers : )

Te Teriti o Waitangi, The Treaty Of Waitangi

Welcome back blog buddies, This Term we looked at The treaty of Waitangi in our reading group. We used a Google doc and answered questions in a story called Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We had questions like who was the agreement between, and why was it  needed. As per usual I wanted to share mine with you. Do you know anything about the treaty of Waitangi ?  Anyway hear it is.

Click the link to see the full doc

I learnt that they got all the Chiefs to sign the treaty.
Pretty cool right, have you read the treaty yet? My favourite part was answering the question "how did they get 500 Maori to sign the treaty. What was yours ??
Next time I would change the font ! I think that I could have done better all round but, I think it is still pretty good ! Feel free to leave a positive and thoughtful comment! Blog you later, Bye.

Vertebrates, Invertebrate What is It

This week for inquiry we looked at different types of  animalsand what category they fell under ! Our group was a big part of it, because we were vertebrates. We did a activity were bus stopping was very necessary. We put our ideas on a large piece of paper then the group that started with the paper had to make skit, song or anything that would show what the type of animal was. EG fish, mammals, birds, and invertebrates.Here some of the groups that I really enjoyed.
                           
Another Group :
                          
What video was your favourite ? Mine was the second one!My favourite part was rehearsing, and my least favourite part was making the scripts! ( because our group kept forgetting things ) I think the most embarrassing part was presenting because I got nervous ( lol )Feel free to leave a positive and thoughtful comment! Blog you later, Bye.
