Sniffing Marshmallows or Eat dry spaghetti?

Hello there Bloggers,

I'm here with a blog-post that is a bit unusual.. some marshmallows on top of spaghetti towers of shame if I'm to be exact.

Rimu was challenged to join a group of 4 and work together to make a tower completed has high and stable with a marshmallow on top.. some failed some bailed and some nailed.

Right here I have photos and a brief idea of the rules and items of food we must have, sadly the one metre of string was useless but we still draped it over our creation to make sure it was all included..

Google slides was helpful to make this tasty looking presentation, but as you can see by the rules, items and photos it still was a fun experience for the whole team!

Don't worry.. we ate the marshmallow at the end.. and the spaghetti.. but anyways I loved this experience it was a way to enhance teamwork and bonding but alot of our progress made a difference!

Would you eat the marshmallow or dried crunchy spaghetti? Have you done this before? Did your parents throw you in a room and test you with a marshmallow on a plate?

Don't forget to tell me!

Interesting choices of traditional foods here in the Matariki Celebration..

Kia ora Bloggers,

I'm back with another blog-post talking about some traditions, specifically the Celebration of Matariki.

I've learnt a few things about the celebration of Matariki that I'd like to talk about and perhaps you'd like to explore this further than I am but anyway let's get right into it!

Firstly I'd like to talk about some weird but simple food they have like kumara, fish, bird and for some reason berries. This tradition involves these foods alot and naturally when storehouses get filled with these food ingredients it normally starts the beginning of Matariki.

But that's not all I've found some interesting stuff I've not really heard before and I've designed a perfect DLO showing all the random anonymous facts about my now knowing information. Right here!

If you have any other information I'd love to know, beware this isn't the only thing lurking on my blog so please feel free to look in the future, but this lovely DLO presented to you was made with Google Drawings. Sure it's simple but it atleast makes an understanding of what some facts are of the Matariki celebration.

Have you done this celebration before? What have you learnt about the Celebration of Matariki? Does your appetite feel interested in these traditional foods?

Make sure to tell me! But for now that'll be all today, see you next time bloggers!

Spreading Sheets across my blog..?

Kia ora Bloggers,
I'm back with a new topic for today, Rimu have taken their interest to learning how to make a graph using google spread sheet and I've produced something perfect to demonstrate it for you!

Typically I use a graph or spreadsheet not often so this was a nice activity and blog-post for me to actually make one. Since every morning we answer questions on our sign in sheet, Rimu had a question about our eye colors therefore those who were here on the day would fill out the question.

Which seemed pretty useful when it comes to making a spreadsheet graph, when all the information is already generated and listed for you to use. Unless you have another way of generating all the information from your class? Oh well check out the slideshow I speciffically made for making the demonstration of how to make your own graph using google spreadsheet!

This is a easy way to make proper graphs in only two minutes if you have all that information stored properly. Make sure you check out the video we learnt graph making from right here! (LINK)

How did you find this slideshow I scratched together? What else could you use a graph for? Have you used the same method of graph making as us? Whats better the video link or the slideshow? Hopefully you can let me know!

Thank you for learning graph making, I hope to see you next time!

How I get attention drawn to my life!

Hey there Readers,

During our recent weeks cybersmart is one of our main focuses for our learning. For once I'll provide your eyeballs onto a link! (Click me I dare you!) The link I've just given you should in fact send you to the uru manuka website where it all started..

Now that we've taken care of showing you that link, It's most likely time to show you some of the interesting work of arts we've taken most of our attention to. Now this is a large column of photos specifically dedicating to me, some photos were made by myself and some we used the helpful website of Unsplash where they allow you to take photos with their permission and also link their names with their work.

This was a fun way to express myself in ways of what I like, I tend to relate around nature and I  enjoy freeing myself through many things. And with the help of some of the lovely artists on Unsplash.

Expressing yourself can become difficult when your not that confident all the time. Therefore what is one of your favorite things in your life? Do you relate to some of my interests? What was your favorite thing to learn about another person like myself? If you enjoyed this idea your capable of making your own to express yourself this simply.

Thank you to google drawing and unsplash for the ability of making some of these photos possible and remember you can take photos from your own photos.

Thanks for reading and I hope to see you again Readers!

Bubbles In Houses or Houses In Bubbles??

Kia ora Bloggers!
I'm back with something more arty this time!
And no it's not a bubble blowing house competition it's Art by House although we design our own bubbles! And so I'd like to introduce our activity for the week which we found it extravagant for these few days! :D

This activity is going all over the school, for it's creativity and collaboration with all the classes! Everyone has taken part of this activity and it's a great idea haswell! I decided to represent my house Edgar meaning Green since we're going off our houses we use our colors pacifically.




I found my bubble pretty basic even if it looks like a kiwifruit with the black and green.. But I found this experience a time to relax listen to music and color how I like!

Does your school also do such an activity has our house idea? Once we're all finished it's put into a big group divided by house colors do you think we could somehow make it better? What house are you? Edgar is clearly one of the best..

Thank you and hope to see you next time bloggers!

Disaster is Ringing - Narrative

Hey there bloggers!
I'm back with another writing blog-post about today's narrative writing! I found that my narrative went well, with it's appealing source of description and interest throughout it.

A phone call could mean many things, a simple conversation, mixed up confusion. But what happens when the phone call turns into something like a disaster? That's where we're heading in the life of Hannah Jackylen (Yes this is a fictional story..) Along the way you might recognize some small details changed from real life scenarios.. Lets head into it shall we?



If you manage to of gotten through that interesting story of mine, I would love your feedback. And also I found my story intreging for not only myself but if someone else like you lovely people would read it!

What's your favourite part when it comes to dramatic endings in stories? Should I continue making another chapter or two in my free time?

See you next time bloggers!

Sharks and Students go into Social distancing?

Hello Bloggers!
Incredibly long time no see!
It's been a while since lockdown and quarantine has trampled over us, but I can't wait till this is all over. Even though we've been allowed back into our schools once again, with our personal bubbles protecting us, although alot has happened over just 3 days of school..

Such has our learning! In Rimu we've been assigned choices of writing, that all connect back to one single topic! I for one loved this, and I thought of the different ways of spreading this learning, so why not share one of my writing stories? Sure it might be long.. but it's atleast something!

Lets start with some of the following instructions that we need to follow quite carefully!

Such has, watching the video connected into our topic that we've chosen to collect the information we need! Since I chose the Basking Shark topic, I had to watch one satisfying video of the basking shark in its natural habitat, with an overall voice explaining facts and just genetic information about this great creature! (Heres the Video!)

The next step was our brief questioning about the video or topic and remember the answer has to come from you!

Now before this is over, we of course had our writing assignment for Part 3! Although you could either write or do the activity which usually takes a while and alot of work normally, so I just settled with writing an interesting story of an encounter with the great Basking Shark! I've used the website Canva to submit a performance of my story (BEAWARE THE STORY IS LONG!) hope you enjoy reading!

  
This is all I have for you today, and I found it quite exciting to do, the Basking Shark is quite a peaceful creature and it's appearance but the size can be useful in scaring predators that are possibly a threat to it away, from it's size and wide jaws. 

What's your favourite sea creature? Have you ever heard of the Basking Shark before now? Was this a helpful example of the basking sharks information? Thank you for reading!
