October Student Reflection Newsletter

 I have been writing my October student reflection newspaper.

I found it easy to take a selfie.

I found it tricky to think of what to write.

Tui Ridge thank you cards

Last week we went away to camp to Tui Ridge.

This week we had to write a letter to someone who's spent all their time making our camp so awesome. I wrote to Dom who was an instructor at Tui Ridge.

I found it easy to fire a slingshot and reload really quick.

I found it tricky to climb up all of the stairs going to the start the flying fox.

My digital learning object shows I can take a screenshot of my Google doc and put it onto my blog.

Parihaka

For Reading we have been learning about Parihaka.

The events of Parihaka happened in the 1880s. It was when the the New Zealand government sent troops in to take Maori land and then they sold all the land to the people who just arrived from England. The people of Parihaka were forced to find a new place to live because the troops burnt their houses and destroyed their crops. The Maori chiefs, Te Whiti and Tohu were put in prison for no reason and didn't even get a trial.

We had to think about what the soldiers were feeling like when they walked into Parihaka.

I found it easy to insert the soldiers.

 

I found it tricky to think of what to write on my blog.

My digital learning object shows I can insert a Google slide to my blog.

Pop art Andy Warhol

 Today in Cybersmart we made online art inspired by Andy Warhol. The art is called pop Art.

I found it tricky to pick the filters.

I found it easy to save the photos.

Next time I would do 6 pictures instead 4.

I found it tricky to post this blog.

My digital learning object shows that I can blog.

Te Wiki o te Reo Maori

It was Maori Language Week - Te Wiki o te Reo Maori. We decided to make a book using Book Creator to show people how to pronounce Maori words. I chose to do mine on numbers. It was easy to choose the backgrounds because there weren't that many to choose from. It was tricky finding out how to pronounce waru and tekau because I kept forgetting how to say them.
