Student Summit is Summiting all our WIFI?!

 Hey there bloggers!

Today we've done our student summit! What's student summit you may ask? Well it's an event every year for schools in clusters and this year due to corona we hosted it all online! And man it was draining! But luckily I got to finish a few random bloopy DLO's our challenge of being online is we have to learn about a website presented by 1-4 children in the Google Meet, thankfully this year I and my friends Hana & Mia were in a group. Talking about Prezi!

Prezi is a type of presentational website where you present volumes of text and statements.

Our group had to make a Google Slide presentation to present to children that chose to join our google meet! And guess what? We volunteered and got to present twice!

Student Summit separates groups into sessions, 1, 2, 3 and 4 depending on which one you've been assigned to present in you'll be presenting in that session and thats its but if you aren't your the audience listening to presenters and asking questions, creating DLOs, communicating to get more information and to experience later after the session finishes you spend time filling out a form like a comment on the Presentations Performances.

=====================================

Session 1! My group was presenting and so far it went well although a few hiccups here and there, WIFI DRAINING OUT OF EXISTENCE?! And now we have to present it fully at session 4... Although that didn't stop us from getting most of it done! And just by our teachers the presenting of google meets are all recorded by the teachers of the students presenting for them to discover and reflect on the videoing.

So here's a video about our struggling presentation in a google meet!

You might've noticed in that video that our presentation from Session 4 was in there for you to check out!

I'm going to leave it here today bloggers but my experience was overwhelming and confusing at times but it was exciting.

Were you apart of the Student Summit this year? What did you find out about Prezi?

Was our Presentation really that laggy?

Let me know!

 Hey There Bloggers!

Time for some advertisement am I right?
Do you like stories with weird words involved? Have you ever voted for writing?
Well hopefully your about to since during our few weeks Rimu made a competition you can decide the winner for, specifically by voting on the story so I'd say first of all the rules!

Our aim was to complete a written paragraph with 150 words or less anything higher was disqualified in an instant! And so our competitors was anyone that made the writing under 150 or exact and who had a title and a name easy? Right? You'd think so!

But our other aim was to focus on using from a grid the 28 words that we're given to us and that we needed to use throughout the storyline. Yes I'm in the competition but I'm also one that struggled with minsing my word count all the way down from 465 to 150 in approximately ONE WHOLE DAY! Which was torture luckily my lovely acquaintance Abby was helpful enough to lower it down with me.

And so with this all concluded it's time for you to get casting in all those votes, and yes you may notice the grid is filled with a lot of brainy topics from Brainy to Jellyish which a lot of people saw as Jellyfish so it was a mix up that I luckily pointed out and I know I'm amazing but continuing!

Another thing to mention is that some people were in fact disqualified during this activity.. So sad times for those people... But something you can notice is some writing is specifically either 1. A Poem 2. News Report or even 3. A Compelling Mystery which was one of the most popular if I'm being honest.

It's time for you to start casting in those votes of yours and remember vote for the one you think is the most creative, interesting, descriptive and personally your favorite to read!

Let’s learn to write awesome blog posts! :D

Hello there bloggers!

Welcome back to my blog!

Also to put a disclaimer if you might've noticed already this was a collaborative blog-post with Hana & Briar.

Today, I’m going to explain what we have been doing for our cybersmart comments activities with Miss Morgan! We have been learning about this so we can learn how to write some QUALITY blog comments! :D And I think that it has affected us all GREATLY! So please read, comment, and enjoy!

Want some juicy intel? come to this very link and it shall take you to the main course! Although beware if the link won't work it’s better checking out our slideshow! (Nikita was clearly hungry while writing this. -_-)

Overall, I think that my learning was a BLAST! I learned a lot about quality blog comments and how to write them! (Even though I was already quite experienced with commenting. -_- I’m trying to sound excited, or whatever, okay??)

Have you learned anything new from this? Or did you already know about this? What more could I have mentioned in this blog post? I would love to hear all your answers in the comments below!

Resilience definition pasted into a blog-post.

Hey there again bloggers!

I'm back to talk about resilience which is quite an obvious topic. For example Andy was always picked on and teased but he learnt to use Resilience to support himself and soon the teasing and picking on was gone. (This was a type of example to show what resilience is although he should tell an adult.)

Anyways... Time to get into the meaning of resilience shall we?

Hopefully you learnt successfully what resilience means and how to use it in different scenarios. I've gotten my video used in the DLO from this youtube example (right here :>)

From the information I've given you, I hope you can use resilience more often now!

I've used Resilience many times in my life from childhood to my years now, but using resilience is something you can try when it comes to many things from tests, homework,  ability and in general your own work.

See you next time bloggers! Hopefully you can use resilience more often now!

James Clear the man of helpful guides to humanities stress.

Hi Bloggers, I'm back with something different.

Our class and lovely teacher as looked over quotes, research and topics from James Clear. The main man himself, although most people possibly might not of heard from James Clear although his research for other jobs careers and opportunities is what made him create these topics. I'm going to be looking at one of his topics The 2 minute Rule.

I'm not talking about when you drop food on the ground I'm talking about your processing and thoughts of movement. James Clear sees if you don't have anything on your mind to do it's good to take at least 2 minutes to rethink what your next move is.

We read and learnt about James Clear through this link here which is a place you can learn about him and his work as well.

I've made a more deeper explanation of the 2 minute rule right here in my google drawing, I made definitely perfectly..

Our information was found here in the 2 Minute Rule Article made by James Clear himself.

This 2 minute rule helped me start quicker, especially in the morning since I for one love sleeping therefore when trying to wake up at 7:00 in the morning it becomes a pain. So I used the 2 minute rule to analyze what to do when I get up. Most times it actually worked!

I found this a interesting experience, and easy tactic to use. How do you feel about James Clear? Do you believe James Clear is a regular author or something more? When and Where do you think using the 2 minute rule could help you?

Thanks for reading through this far bloggers!

See you next time!

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!

Talk to you next time bloggers!

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!
