Amazing All About Me

 

Hey peoples, 

Yet another blog post from me today! This one is an activity that I started and completed in just one day. We had to make a video/slideshow all about ourselves. This had to be created on Canva. I included the following things;

• My name
• Where my ancestors are from
• My favourite colour, author, animal, and food
• Fun facts
• And my activities/hobbies I like to do

Here is my slideshow:

What is your favourite colour and animal? What hobbies/sports do you do?

Please post any feedback in the comments!

Lucky Lego Person

 

Hey peoples, 

Over the week we have also made self-portraits lego style. We had to try and re-create ourselves by drawing lego characters. The head, facial expression, and clothing all had to be looking as close to us as possible. 

I made this person for the following reasons;

1. The expression is a happy one which represents me because I'm generally really happy with everything I have and what I do.
2. The hair is pretty much the same length and colour.
3. The t-shirt is one of my all-time favorite ones to wear. 
4. And denim just goes well with everything so I wear it a lot!

Here is me!:

What does your one look like? Do you like art?

My Precious Pepeha

 

Hey peoples, 

Hope you are having a fantastic week. Over the week we have been creating, learning, and recording our pepeha's. A pepeha is a Maori way of introducing yourself. It tells you about your family, what your mountain and river are, and your culture. 

Our task was to create a digital video pepeha on Adobe Spark. We had to include images and a voice-over on each page. 

Here is my video:

What is your culture? Have you made a pepeha before?

My Marvellous Moment At Camp

 

Hey peoples, 

I hope your holidays went well. Over the last week, Toroa has been at Wainui camp. We were there for 3 nights and 4 days, over those days we did the most fun activities and games! This included; kayaking, code breakers, orienterring. coasterring, and high ropes. It was great fun!

Our task today was to make a presentaion about our favourite moment in camp. Mine was high ropes. High ropes is climbing on different courses, one of them was a giant ladder. My presentaion includes a couple of slides about why I like climbing and why I liked high ropes this last camp. After that is a short animation of someone climbing and the other people belaying them. 

Here it is:

I really enjoyed camp and I hope you did too! What's your favourite moment? And what's your favourite camp you've been on?

Magnificent Morrigan Crow

 

Hey peoples,

For the past week, some people have and some people haven't been going swimming in the afternoon. while the other groups are at swimming we have been given 12 options of tasks to do. As I am in swimming I have been given the task to do one of the 12. The task I chose to do was to write a book/movie review of something we have read/watched recently. 

I have recently read Nevermoor and the trails of Morrigan Crow, wow it is a great book full of amazing scenes and characters. Nearly everyone is friendly in Nevermoor and I really recommend this book! Here is my review:

 

 I hope this review is really interesting and has encouraged you to give this book a go!

Have you ever read this book? What is your favourite book?

Fantastic Flax Flower

 

Hey people, 

Today a portion of students from our hub are at Athletics Zones so we have one less teacher. Because of this, we can't do our normal Tuesday things, (Maths, Literacy). Instead, we are practicing making Flax Flowers. We are practicing this so that next time we can make a bouquet for Mrs. Pasco,e our principal as she is leaving at the end of the year. 

We have learned about flax and how you treat it, how you stay healthy around it, and how you cut it, as well as the actual design of the flowers. You have to treat the flax with respect as if it is a human being, by not stepping on or over it and not leaving it lying in the midst of the floor. You also have to make sure you wash your hands after using it because of the oils on the flax which can make you unwell. When you cut flax you take from the outside, the grandparents. By doing this the children in the middle can grow and the parents can look after them. 

There are different types of designs of the flax flowers some simpler than others. I chose to do one that is a little more complicated. It actually turned out quite well:

What design did you do? Did you learn anything?

Cool Ki o rahi animation

 

Hey peoples, 

Yet another cultural post to you all, I hope you're not sick of it yet! This time we had to make a Ki o rahi animation! Right now you're probably thinking 'What in the world is Ki o rahi', well, you're about to find out! It's a very fun and interesting game, this was our task...

Make an animation that explains what Ki o rahi is. This has to be easy for year 3-4 students to follow. At the start write a few paragraphs explaining the myth and legend, behind Ki o rahi. 

It was quite an interesting legend, in fact, it was really long so I have written most of it and added a link to the website where you can read the whole thing if you want to!

Here is my animation: 

I hope you learned and enjoyed this animation/post!
