Hi all,
I have done a task for biodiversity about Rhino's. I had to pick a species first and then do a DLO on their food chain. The reason I picked rhino's was cause I thought it woul be fun to learn more about them.
I had to do a little description about them and what their food chain is like. This task was fun and simple, to do from home.
if there's anything I can do to make my work better than please let me know.
Kia Ora everyone,
Today I finished my writing task during online school.
The task was to create a news letter about any topic we want but it had to be something that would hook the reader in or that was a story in the world today, it could also be about a person an animal or problem.
I decided to base my topic on Climate change. I chose this because it meant I got to learn about it more and it was a fun topic to write about.
At first I searched up Greta Thunberg, to get some ideas of what Climate change is really like and whats actually going on.
I enjoyed this writing task, and I hope you learn something from it.
Kia Ora everyone,
Because we are still in lockdown we have to do online learning sadly. This morning I decided to get a start on my RE work.
The topic for todays RE was about Sister Aroha who is now a nun and moved from New Zealand to Sri Lanka to help care for the sick children and become a nun.
For my task today I had to create a poster explaining how we could follow in Sister Aroha's footsteps.
I enjoyed doing this.
please leave a comment if there is anything I could improve.
Yesterday my class and room 6 went on a trip to Orana wildlife park.
The reason we went there is because we are learning about biodiversity and biodiversity represents all the animals and insects in the world including us humans.
Yesterday we walked around Orana park with and educator that works there; she pointed out each animal and told us facts about them and how they help our planet. She even showed us a lion skull and some dead Ferrets that had been cleaned and stuffed. We got to feed girraffes and I loved seeing the gorrilas there they were really cool and interesting to learn about.
Fun fact about gorillas: They don't actually make physical contact they just pound their chest to show dominance and make themselves look tougher.
here are some pictures of the animals we saw.
Kia ora,
Today in class we have been doing symmetrical drawings, using pictures of insects. The insect I chose was a ladybug. I traced the other side of the picture and coloured it in. The two reasons we did this were because a) we are learning about biodiversity and so insects fit in with the topic and b) we also did this as part of a maths project.
My Dragon Karl
Karl is a kind, powerful dragon: he is the only one of his species left as far as we know. Karl has been spotted by explorers a few times and hasn’t got along with the visitors, the reason being the explorers (poachers) tried to kill him for his skin.
Appearance
Karl has a black, orange and red body. He has a chubby body, and small wings he can fly with, just not for very long. Karl has powerful hind legs which makes him very speedy. He has a morning star shaped tail which is very sharp, and is used in battle.
Habitat
Karl lives in the African Plains during the Summer and then flies to New Zealand for the Winter and hides out in little Hornby, because the weather is just the right temperature for him.
Usually you will find Karl up in trees, in underground huts, or at Hornby McDonalds on thursday. Karl is an omnivore - small creatures, birds, rabbits, fruit, tree leaves and Maccas - are all examples of his balanced diet.
Amazing facts
Some dragons are skilled in flying; others are good at climbing and running, dragons like Karl. He can shoot flaming hot lava from his mouth and can set the ground a flame with each step he takes. His bite is stronger than any other dragons; he can chew through bone and metal.
Dragonologists believe to stay away from Karl unless you know or are friendly to him, otherwise beware.
This year I have created a new all about me information poster.
The last time I created one was when I was nine so a few years ago.
I enjoyed creatng this and I think a few things have changed since my last update on my all about me. I enjoyed this taks because it lets people know a little bit more about me and what I'm interested in, and I find these activities fin and creative and easy.
I hope you lear a little bit about me.
Kia ora,
This post is about Media.
We had a school camp a few weeks ago and we came back after three days.
When we got back to school a couple days later we were set with a task to create a Media like a newspaper or website, about an event that happened at camp.
I created a website, it was something like the webstie Stuff. I enjoyed this task and made it as crative as I could.
I hope you enjoy it, also here is the link for when you see the dress, because the link won't come up on the red dress.

Hi Bloggers,
over half of term four we learnt about Angles, I enjoyed it and it wasn't very hard; it was easy to understand and I enjoyed learning about them.
Our task, once we had learnt all about Angles. Was to create a DLO about Angles and to teach others about it.
I enjoyed doing this, but it took me a while to do because I used Canva and somethings were por's so I had to change a lots of things in the end.
Hope you enjoy and learn something.
Aloha bloggers,
Today I am posting about a Ballad I wrote about a envent taht happened at camp.
a few weeks ago we had a school camp and we went to woodend. Whilst we were at camp one night we played spotlight, and I had lots of fun.
When we were given the task to write a ballad about something that you enjoyed and that happened at camp; I instantly chose spotlight because I had lots of fun and it was really, interesting to write a ballad about it.
Enjoy.
Aloha bloggers,
Today we got back form technology and then we started learning about what things are Medias.
Our task was to create a simple DLO telling others what medias we have been on in the last 24 hours, I made a google drawing about what I had been on. Enjoy.
Aloha Bloggers,
I have created a newspaper about how bishops and pries'st and deacons and vocations, how they are committed to their jobs and how they show it, and how they follow the rules.
My story is quite short but I didn't have to much to write about. I found this quite easy but fun as well. We have been finishing of work so this is the second to last thing I had to complete.
Here is my story.
Kia Ora bloggers,
The last two weeks of school we have been finishing of work and just getting things completed, last week was Maori language week and we were learning about facts and different things.
We were given our task and set out to create it, our job was to make a DLO ( digital learning object) teaching someone about something in Maori like the months or greetings. I created a book on book creator teaching others the pronunciation of vowels in Maori, Maori colours and the days of the week in Maori.
I enjoyed creating this and I was new to this tool so I had a play around before I started but then I got the hang of it. I would recommend using this tool because its super fun and easy to use.
Hope you enjoy and please leave a comment if you enjoyed.
Hi bloggers,
Today at school, we had an online learning project.
We had to pick four New DLO sites to use and kids form different schools taught us how to use them. Right now we were given the task to blog post about one of the new sites we were taught about today and I decided to write about pixton.
Pixton is a really cool tool to use and you can create comics and you get to create your own avatar and you choose your own background as well you get to customize your character and put it into different types of templates. You can also move your characters position and change their moves.
If you would like to try out pixton Search in the bar Pixton sign up.
I hope you learnt something from the blog post and I would recommend trying this tool out. Please leave a comment if you use this tool and if you enjoyed it or not.
Hello bloggers,
Today I will be sharing a quick blog post about Koru's and Kowhaiwhai.
Koru's are the most common design found in Kowhaiwhai patterns. Koru is The Maori word for loop and they are shaped like a spiral Koru symbolises, New life, Growth, Strength and peace. Koru's are used in Maori art, carving and tattoos.
Kowhaiwhai's are usually found on roofs of Maori meeting houses, Kowhiawhai represents Maori history, and Family trees of the tribe. Ponga's are also a type of plant and design and they grow all around New Zealand and they are usually found in wet damp places.
I hope you learn't something from the blog post
