Renergade rockets reflection

Kia Ora Bloggers,

For our inquiry we are looking into rockets, we have ambassadors coming in every Tuesday to teach us different things that go into making rockets, we are ending up making our own out of plastic bottles.

I am in a group with Bailee, Brooke and Hannah, we are called the renegade rockets. We have had to make a prototype rocket and a test flight. Here is our reflection of our test rocket and flight:

The messy microwave

Hi bloggers,

Over the past few weeks, we have a student teacher in our hub, his name is Mr Loan, he has been working alongside Mr shaw, so for literacy Mr Loan has been teaching us about children's book and some different authors.

It was all leading up to us creating our own children's books for the new entrance kids in kiwi, I found this quite challenging to make it interesting but I think my book turned out quite well. 

Mine is called The Messy Microwave, it is about a microwave that isn't being treated very well and has to find something to do about it. The moral of my story is to treat people with kindness.

This is my finished picture book, I made it using google slides. Let me know what you think of my book!

Super Samoan Classroom

 Talofa bloggers,

Since the start of the year we have been learning Samoan.  This is my virtual classroom where I have put all my learning for you to also learn from.  If you hover over items in my classroom, a hyperlink will pop up for you to click on.

In my classroom you will learn about:

• Samoa as a country

• Link to a traditional dance video

• Basic greetings

• The alphabet

• How to count 1-10 

• Information about Siapo - how it is created, some examples

• An animation showing a simple conversation in Samoan

I hope you enjoy my classroom and I would really like to know what you enjoyed the most.

How to play E hia

 Kia ora bloggers,

Over the past 4 weeks we have been learning about some Moari games, the first two were learning the games and the next two we got put into groups and got one of the games we learnt, and had to make a poster with a QR code.

I was with Harvey, Jack C, Jack B and Mckenna. I created the poster while the others planned what we were going to do in our video, this week we filmed our video and finished off our poster. Here it is finished: 

Have you ever learned a Moari game? if so what game?

Samoan Slide Animation

 Hi Bloggers,

This Wednesday we looked at the Samoan greetings and had to make an animation using some of these greetings. We could use either scratch or google slides, I chose google slides because I find it easier to navigate. 

I used a Samoan beach as my background and used two little people as my characters, one is teaching the other the Samoan greetings. Here is my finished animation:

Let me know if you have any feedback! 

Paper Parachute

 Kia Ora Bloggers,

For inquiry, we are looking at rockets and on the last two days last week we looked at the parachutes used, our next task was to create our own parachute using paper, fabric, tape and string. I was in a group with Brooke, Isaac and Oliver.

Do you have any feedback for us?

Here is our slide explaining our designs:
