Lockdown Holidays.

 Talofa Lava bloggers,

During Lockdown in level 3 was quite boring because we could not really do anything. We tried to get out as much as possible. We went on lots of walks through the park. We even stopped at a playground and played that was fun. I am still doing my online dancing so that is keeping me occupied, And is really fun. I cleaned out my room with my mum and got rid of loads of things that I did not play with any more. Even though this was quite boring it was something to do. I had a couple of outdoor picnics with my friends and family. That was nice because I finally got to see them. some days I talk to my friends on old Google meets. We do this sometimes when we play games together. I went out to Ranui and had a puppy playdate with my dads freinds from work. I have also been doing lots if lego we just finished a lego tree house I love doing this during lockdown because I get to do it with all of my family and that was nice for us to do something all together. Now its back to doing school work. Here are some pictures of what I did during lockdown.

  

     

Lockdown art

 Talofa bloggers,

Over the past days I have been doing lots of drawing because that is what I love to do. I have a sketch book that I got as a gift from my nan. She is really good at sketching and molding with clay. Anyway All most every day I draw a picture with a video or picture. Or even just from what I know. I drew three cool ones and sent them to my teachers and friend. I will show you them down below. If you guys would like to have a go at drawing some of these blending pictures find this perosn on youtube Cizim Mektebi. Or if these drawings are a little to advanced for you then have a go with Kids for art hub. Both really good drawing channels. Me and my class draw with Kids for art bub and we do some really cool drawings with them as well. Ok have a look down below if you want to see my drawings. If you have any more free time please check out my other blog posts. Blog you later bloggers.

Online dance sessions

 Talofa bloggers, 

Through out Lockdown I have been doing online school as well as online dance lessions. Every Tuesday and Wednesday I have a zoom call with my dance teacher and dance buddies. I think this is an amazing way to keep up all of our amazing dance moves. This week every day had one special colour that everbody had to wear. On Tuesday we had to wear orange and on Wednesday we had to wear yellow. Let me now in a comment if you do any online dance or even just somehting you've done during this lockdown. Because I would love to know. Anyway hope you guys all have a good rest of your lockdown. Spend as much time in the sun but keep safe. Adios everybody.

Rodney Wright DLO

 Kia Ora Bloggers,

Over the past few days in lockdown Te waka Ako have been finding information on a paralympian. 

I picked Rodney Wright, Once we have finished finding all the information we want we have to gather it all and put on a DLO, a rap song, or a book creator. As you all know we are in Lockdown so we have google meets every day with our class. On Wednesday and Friday Te Waka Ako have a synicate meet and talk about anything we want. My favourtie day of the week is Friday because we get handed certificates. The teachers put them into a folder on everybodys drives so we can have a look. When we get back to school the kids that got duffy certificates get to go to the office and get a free book to read. I love being in Lockdown because we get to spend lots of time with our family even though we can not go out and have fun it is fun being at home in my opinion. Let me no in a comment how you feel in Lockdown. Here is a link to my DLO. 

Olympic reading work.

Talofa lava bloggers,

Over the past few weeks Te Waka Ako have been working on an Olympic choose board for reading. We have to read lots of online and offline books and put the information we find onto a notes document. Every day before we start our choice board we have to read a book to a buddy from your same reading class for 5 minutes. Then we can start our reading choice board. Once we have all the information we need we are allowed to create a DLO or book on book creator. This is to gather all of our information that found and make a book all about the Olympics. I chose to make a book on book creator. I am now done with it and would like to share my work with you. Search bookcreater.com to try it yourself.

Blog you later. And check out my other posts.

Procedural writing.

 Talofa lava bloggers,

During writing we have been working on a procedural writing text about a game. I chose Snakes and ladders because it is a nice and simple thing to write about. I learnt how to make things that I am writing, make sense. We did this by following each others instructions exactly to see if they worked out with the steps and rules that were written. I think I did well because I am the only one in my class that has properly finished yet. Follow my instructions below if you would like to play.

STEM week Waikowhai Student led toolkits.

 Waikowhai toolkit.

On the 11th of June Waikowhai Primary School had a school toolkits with the seniors and middle school. During STEM week witch means science technology engineering mathematics week. There were 24 presenters and 12 toolkits to opt into. We used a survey to choose our first second and third choices for our toolkit on Friday. I was only allowed to pick one thing because I was presenting Incredibox twice to the middle school and seniors mixed up.

My first toolkit was Word Art in Waitemata. It was presented by Vivian and Hazel. This is a really cool and fun app to play with. Once they had finished the slideshow we got to have sandpit time. That was when we all got to make whatever we wanted. I made 3 that I am going to show you down below. Word Art is like art but on a devise where you have to put lots of word into a shape that looks really cool. Maybe you could have a try on this app. You can do whatever you like use your imagination with Word Art.

They second toolkit I was presenting in Kaiwhare with 12 people. I was nervous at this point it was like being a teacher having to look after so many children. I was presenting with Kiani. We had to make a slideshow on how to use Incredibox. Incredibox is an app that you can make your own music in. When you join Incredibox you have to drag little icons onto men to create some music. I really like Incredibox because it gives you a chance to be creative because there is different styles of music that you can create your own music with. The slideshow had to include some sandpit time for them like 15 minutes. I had fun because I had to present again. And I would then know what I needed to do on my next time presenting in a different class. I had fun as well as some frustration from all of the noise the kids in the class were making. At least I had a teacher there to help if me and Kiani could not handle it.

My third toolkit I was presenting again. This time it was easier because Me and Kiani knew what we were doing We also had a a teacher in this class but he played with Incredibox so we had to handle a lot of noise in the class with almost 20 children. Again we were presenting Incredibox just in a different classroom. This time the class had more sandpit time playing with Incredibox.

After all I had a amazing day teaching different children how to use Incredibox as well as them making music. If we do this again I would love to carry on being a presenter just maybe with a different app.
