Matariki.

Here is our presentation of our Matariki slides. We had to retell the story of Mitai and his brothers. We have a couple of slides, that you might want to read through. We found out heaps about Mitai and his brothers. When we were reading the story, we found out lots and we would like to share them too. That's why we have been able to share it on a Google Slide.

Zoos and Petting Zoos

Here are 2 photos of my Read theory. Read theory, is just another link for a reading site. So if you get all your questions wrong, you go down one grade. You can go as high as you want in your grads, you just have to earn it. By building your skills, you have to get all your questions right, and you will go up one grad. Here are two quick snapshots of my work. My book that I am reading is Zoos and Petting Zoos.

Nga Manu Korero

Last week Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the year eights, had the privilege, to go watch and listen to Nga Manu Korero, at Northland College. I enjoyed listening to all the speeches. Some of the speakers, didn't even know what to say, because they had to read everything off the top of their minds. My favourite speaker was Rangimaria. Why? Because she was talking about, her and her papa working in the gardens at their house. I accomplished my writing, and ended up with, 350 words. Here is my piece of writing.

 Nga Manu Korero

This week, our school had the opportunity to go to Nga Manu Korero. I also didn’t get the opportunity to go to the powhiri, because I was a bit late. I enjoyed listening to the speeches. I was overwhelmed with heaps of the speakers and waiata tautoko. . I didn’t know that Nga Manu Korero was that day. I arrived at school late, so I missed the bus to go to Manu Korero. Nga Manu Korero was hosted at Northland College. I was amazed at the hand gestures that all boys and girls were doing in the speeches. When our class arrived at Northland College, I was so shy. Why? Because there were… THOUSANDS OF SCHOOLS!.

When we were listening to the speeches, I was stunned from one girl. Her name was Rangimaria Waiatarere. She was talking about her and her papa, working in the garden. The thing that I enjoyed about her was her hand gestures and movement, and also, she was very fluent in her Te Reo Maori. Everyone had to turn their devices off, because it caused a distraction. You only had a certain amount of time to stay outside and eat. Whaea Mary, Chrystalle and Mele got locked out, because they stayed outside too long. We went to Manu Korero everyday it was on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

I didn’t feel like going too Nga Manu Korero on Friday, but I had already put my hand up and said
“Yes! I'll be here tomorrow”. So I came. Mist began to gather, and it started to get colder and colder.
It felt like my legs were half broken. It was raining, My cousin was in the senior section.
She was talking about ‘Maori has the potential to be realised’ I enjoyed listening to Paula and Rangimaria.
Why? Because they were very awesome. They stayed on their one topic, and always related back to it, if
they went off track. There was one girl, that couldn’t stop laughing when she said her speech.
Her name was Kahutiaterangi. Everytime she made a mistake, she would always laugh.

Fractions, Decimals and Percentages.

Here is my reflection of my maths presentation, and a little screenshot of my mahi. I have tried to ace my goal, and what I mean by that is, I am trying to get up to date. So I can get more points in the system of our team. It's like my friend and I are trying to have a race, at getting everything up to date. We don't even know what we are doing next. Anyways here is my post.

Weekly comment!

This is my weekly comment. I don't have much to write, because it's basically all on my Google Drawing. Anyways, I done my comment on, Kaikohe West School. Room 12. That is a year 5-6 classroom. I don't know what to say because I have done everything on my poster. Well this is what I want to show you all.

Positivity and Negativity!.

WALT: Create a positive digital learning Footprint.

Today Whaea Deborah came into our school, and we done some Positive and Negative things. I learn't something new, and it was that we had to make sure, that we knew what we wanted to post on social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Messenger etc. She also taught us that if we take a photo, make sure we don't send it around to too much people, only the people that you trust. If you see a negative comment, leave something positive, so everyone can be happy. When we were doing this Footprint., My buddy and I, didn't find anything challenging. Next time, I would like to ask, if we could do some more, so our whole class can understand what we are actually doing. Here is the poster that we had to work on. Tehanah (My Buddy) Worked on Herman, and I worked on Deborah and Jenna. Here is our work.

Thunder & Lightning

This is what I have decided to do today, because some of my friends and I, missed the bus to go to Northland College for Nga Manu Korero. I enjoyed my day today. We done our presentation on Thunder and Lightning, and we also done, Did you know questions.
