10 Tips for Blog Commenting.

 

This is my first task for this week. This is  all around being cybersmart while blog commenting. Because the Manaiakalani Film Festival is on Wednesday, this was great timing for us to be reminded how to create a positive writing.  But this is just aan overall task of tips to do while blog commenting.

Maths Mixture

 

This is my maths task for this week. Our maths that we are learning is Algebra. But also in this task we did a little bit of revising the things that we will do in our maths task.

Plastic Pollution

Van Gogh

 

Kia Ora, and welcome to my first blog post of Term 4. This term our school theme is Art Alive and in Te reo " Toi Ora ". So basically this is a an inquiry based task. Team 5 will be looking at different artist around the world , and learning about there background. Like term 3 we will be rotating around each class so we have different teachers teaching us about different artists. We learned about an artist called Van Gogh. What I learned and thought was pretty interesting about Van Gogh was that he was mentally and still manged to keep his art alive. 

As I saw It ~

Hello Blog readers. This is another ~ As I Saw It ~. The Walt I had for this task was to understand how people remember and record the past in different ways. I worked with my friend Zamera. We each had a topic to research about, and to give us a head start Mrs. Stone give us site to read off from.

The topic our picked was to find out what was life like for Maori's in the 1769. As I researched I found out was that it was super hard to find information about my topic. I also learned Pekeha's tend to write there information's down, as with \Maori's they tend to speak aloud, so there voices are clearly heard.

Tuvalu WorkShop

So today team 5 were lucky enough to be a part of 2 workshops. The first workshop was based on theater performance , and the second workshop was based on Tuvalu dance.

Last week Rm 5, 1, and 4 took part in the theater workshop. Rm 11, 3, and 2 took place in the Tuvalu based workshop, we had to switch around. Which meant I had to contribute to the Tuvalu workshop.

Part of the Tuvalu workshop was to make sure we understood their cultural traditions, and just their culture in general.

Molia was the lady who ran our workshop, along with her assistant Mary Ann.

The first thing we did was learn the basic but important facts about Tuvalu. One thing I learnt that was interesting was that the Islands of Tuvalu is actually the 4th smallest country in the world. And there's about 11,00 people in tuvalu.

From there we got to learn about the unique dance costumes that are used for their traditional dances. We also learned about how to make those unique costumes. We learnt about the Fou, Safe, Titi kulama, and Titi toa, those were just the main 4 costumes they introduced to us.

Not long after that we start a Tuvalu dance. We had split into 2 groups: a girls group and a boys group. Us girls had to follow Mary Ann and the boys leader was Molia.

The dance was short and sharp. All we needed to do was listen up and follow the instructions. As we did we finished learning the moves and actions.

Overall it was super fun getting to know about the islands of Tuvalu. And even though Tuvalu language week is in the holidays it's great two know we did something to celebrate it. And I bet all of us enjoyed that wonderful experience.

Te Reo Maori Moment ~

Today is the first very day of Maori language week. To celebrate this wonderful moment Pt England School is having a special moment. So 12:00 on the dot we will be singing a Maori waiata E Ihoa. Reason for that was because in the year 1972 at 12:00 pm 30,000 people petitioned to keep the native Maori Language alive.

Whare Tapa Wha ~ Taha Hinengaro

Hi blog readers. Welcome, again. Thanks for taking your time to check out this post. So as you probably already have seen this is a Whare tapa Wha based task. And this third wall I did which is this task is about Taha Hinengaro. One thing I found out was that Taha Hinengaro is based on your mindset on what you think about. So for this task I picked a photo of me and wrote some words are my face. These word based on what I do and what I think of myself as. once again Thanks for Listening ~ Take Good Care ~.

Whare Tapa Wha : Taha Whanau

Good Morning blog readers. So Today I did another task which again was about Whare Tapa Wha. Before this post I did a task based on the wall Taha Tinana. Well this task was based on another wall which was ~ Taha Whanau ~. So throughout this time I was doing this task I learnt the Taha Whanau is about creator a tight bond with others. And that tight bond doesn't need to be you immediate family and friends.   It can be peers, colleagues and people around the community's. Hope your being a great friend to others. Thanks for Listening. ~ Take Care ~

Rona and Moon Myth

In a small village there lived a little family. A mother Rona, her lazy husband and her children. Although Rona’s husband had the job of carrying containers filled with water to keep the family hydrated, sadly Rona was left with most of the responsibilities.

One night Rona and her family ran out of water. It was super dark and so obviously instead of her husband getting water, he with no hesitation sent Rona down to get more water. Rona didn’t have a choice so off she went.

The moon was the only light Rona had. Rona ran as quickly as she could, leaping through rocks, and branches. Rona was not yet halfway by the water hole so she continued running. Then, out of nowhere, a huge cloud passed across the moon’s face.That incident caused Rona’s path and the night to turn pitch black.

Rona not having a clue on where she was running, she tripped and fell over branches and rocks. Rona felt the full impact in her fall causing her to be out for some minutes. Rona was badly bruised and badly hurt.

All of a sudden she started yelling these awful words to Marama the moon. And so Marama had enough of it and proceeded to grab Rona. With a tight grip Rona was able to hold on to a branch of a ngaio tree. Although Rona had a strong grip it was no match for Marama.

And so along with the ngaio branch the Moon had successfully captured Rona. Marama was able to teach Rona to be polite and have manners. Marama politely asked Rona if she wanted to enter back into her real world, but Rona had refused to go back.

And so when her family looks up into the moon they are able to see Rona’s shadow in the moon.

Te Ika A Maui

Kia Ora Everyone. I know I haven't been posting for awhile, so I decided  to post all the things I'm behide on. Starting with this task Te Ika A Maui. This is a reading based task, based on a popular Maori Myth  Te Ika A Maui. The only thing I missed out on was the storyboard and the writing, but I figured they'd go well on a different post, just because they relate is some way.  I also loved reading aloud because it gives me more and more confident's to be comfortable with reading. And I can tell I'm improving in reading which is awesome as well. Thanks for Listening.

Leadership Goal ,, For 2021

Kia Ora Everyone. So this task is really just Bradley and I talking about goals we want to accomplish, and how much we love it in the Senior block. One of our goals is to become prefects which mean we have to be role models , be respectful to other ,  if we want that prefect role.

We've also added prefects from 2017 , 2018 , 2019 , and 2020. I really do understand why they were all prefects and why they had that role. It was honestly because how they treated kids within the age of 5 , 6 , 7 , and 8. And they were constantly super kind.  So I do want to have a role of being a prefect. And whats cool is that I can ask my cousin some tips because in 2018 he had the prefect role.
