Terrific Treaty of Waitangi!

Kia Ora bloggers! 

Recently for school we've been learning a lot about Waitangi day.

After learning all about the history of it, we were challenged to use a website named Voki to represent how either a British person or a Māori person could have been feeling about what was happening to them. I decided to take it from the Māori point of view because I thought it would be more interesting considering how different the views could have been.

This is my Voki, I edited on subtitles using a premium version of Screencast-o-matic.

Would you have used the Māori POV or the British POV? Do you celebrate Waitangi day? How do you celebrate it?

Have a lovely day, seeya bloggers!

Stellar Safety Poster

 

Kia Ora Bloggers!

On Wednesdays we've been doing a series of activities about keeping yourself safe.

We read a scenario about a kid being left home alone, and after doing that activity we got to make a poster on Canva about keeping safe.

This poster had to have a title, scenario, 3 options, and consequences for those options (whether they be good or bad).

This is my poster! 

I like what I did with it, and I think it has a nice colour scheme.

Do you agree that Option C was the best option? Do you think there would be better ways to handle that situation? What are they?

Have a lovely day, seeya Bloggers!

Awesome all about me slideshow + Legendary LEGO portrait

Kia Ora Bloggers!

At school, every year we make a portrait of ourselves in a different way. This year we were challenged to use a Lego person template/base and draw ourselves onto it. I completed it pretty quickly.

We also had to make an animated video using Canva to talk about ourselves and some fun facts and info on yourself. I like the aesthetic I made with my one but I didn't include as much stuff as I originally wanted to.

What's your favourite Lego set? What's a fun fact about yourself? Did you relate to anything about me?

Have a lovely day, cya bloggers!

Perfect Pepeha!

 Kia Ora Bloggers!

In class we had to make a Pepeha using Adobe Spark.

First, we had to write our basic Pepeha using a site that would help us. Then we had to learn how to pronounce everything, which wasn't that hard with the help of Maori Dictionary. After that we basically had to fill in the gaps of a proper Pepeha, adding a lot more detail (mainly around your family).

Here's my Pepeha!

Hoping the import works :')

Have you ever written a Pepeha? What did you struggle with?

Have a lovely day!

Radical Camp Reflection!

Kia Ora Bloggers!

For the past week we've been at camp. At camp we had to do one or two activities everyday, and today we've been made to make a DLO (digital learning object) of our favourite moments from camp.

This is what I did, I drew two drawings on MS paint using my touchscreen laptop and pen.

This is of me and Zoe kayaking. If I were to do it again I'd go in the front of the kayak instead of the back so I could have more control rather than trying to sync up the rhythm of the paddle with the person in front of me.

The second night we headed over to a campfire where one of the instructors named Ollie did 'Repeat after me songs' - It was interesting to say the least.

Have you ever been to a camp? What was your favourite part about it?

Have a nice day, and cya bloggers!

Neat Nets with Scrumptious Sweets

 Kia Ora bloggers!

In Numeracy we've been learning things to do with 3d shapes and nets.

In today's and yesterday's Numeracy lessons we got to get some random candy/chocolates and got to make packaging nets for them.

I got four small peanut butter cups and decided to make this net:

This is how it turned out:

Have you ever made nets? What did you make?

Can you think of any examples of candy box nets?

Cya, Bloggers!

Perfect past vs present + helpful hangi poster

Kia ora bloggers!

We've been doing a lot around traditional Maori culture this term so far.

First of all we had to make a slide comparing the past and present of some traditional Maori culture-related items or things.

The second thing is that we had to make a poster around the hangi's past and present. Comparing the traditional, to the modern.

Have you ever had a hangi? How long did it take to make? What did you eat?
