brown brother

                           Brown Brothers
During week 9 in the middle block we did reading. For the reading we were doing some activities from our choice board. The thing that I chose was the Brown Brothers video. We had to write the poem that he was saying and why he made the poem. This poem about racism and we are currently learning about this as our inquiry topic. I think that he made the poem because people were mocking him about his skin colour and I think that it is good because he is standing up for himself. Everyone else chose to do this activity too because he was an inspiring speaker. It would be cool if you can leave a comment on my blog post and share your thoughts about this video!!!

Blog you later!!

Here is the video to the Brown Brothers video!!

LOCKDOWN CREATIONS

                      W8 LOCK DOWN CREATIONS 
Talofa Bloggers, Today I am going to share you my learning that I have been doing. Past the week and the term we have been doing lock down creation. This week is week 8.

Tooklkits

                 Toolkits
Welcome blogger, On the 18th of June Students of Te Waka Ako were chosen to participate in the Toolkits challenge. First of all we had a meeting with all of the other schools. We didn't get to go on the meeting because we had a bad connection. So since we didn't go on the meeting we just got straight into the meeting of the activities . So the first session we had to choose these activities which were Word cloud, Digital Portraits, Kahoot making and playing, Audiobooks, remove backgrounds and food bucket truck. All of these activities were  taught by the toolkits presenters. The one I chose was the remove background which was that we had to take a picture and go on remove png and it removes your background from your picture that you have taken. 

After we had finished our first session we had to take a picture of  your work that you have done and put it on you challenge slideshow and a brief descriptions. Then once we had finished that we had to go back into the hall and have another meeting and at first it worked but then it didn't work. We had to wear headphones when we went on a meeting. 

The next session was not until 11:45 I think. So we had to go back to Te Waka Ako to have some morning tea but we had to fill in a form. Now we are going back to the hall and we had to do session 2. Then we had to put the finished work on our slide show and that was the same for the session 3. I hope you liked my blog post!!

Ripper rugby

                          Ripper Rugby

Hello bloggers my name is Peitynn. On the 17th of March 10 students were picked to go to Ripper rugby zone. So there were 4 girls and  6 boys that were in the team. Before we went to the game we had to get changed into our sports gear. after we had got changed we started to get our gear and head off to May Road War Memorial Park. Finally we are here at the May Road War memorial. So we looked around to find a spot to sit at. So when we had found a place to sit we had to take our jacket off and we started to train. But first we had to take a team photo of all of us  at the started and at the end we had to take another team photo. So when we were training we had to practice our passing and our steps when we got touch. Now we are having our first game. Our first game we versed was Hay Park 1. The weather was pretty cold but the sun came out. We played good and we had good sportsmanship in the game. After that we had many more games and we had 6 games. The last game was hard but we tried our best. We were so tired. But we got some ice block and it was so nice and cold. So it is time to go back to school. Hope you enjoyed!!! Blog you later!!!

Portraits

                   Portraits
Hi there my name is Peitynn. In week 5 and 6 Te Waka Ako have been doing Portraits. So when we had started out Portraits our teachers had to take a picture of us because one half was a practice one and the other one was our good copy. So we had to choose which copy was our good copy and our practice one. When we had got our faces we had to glue it in our art book because we had to practice drawing our patterns on the out background with out faces. Once we had finished that we had to choose a decade so that we could put it on the other side. Then we had to show a teacher our drawing and they tell us to go and get a good copy. After that we had to draw our patterns on our good copy and we had to draw the same patters the we had drawn in our art book. Once we had finished that we had to paint our patterns with different colors.  After we had finished painting we had to leave it some where to dry. After it had been all dried up we had to glue our other side of our faces and we had to glue it in. Now after that we had to draw our decades that we had chosen. After that the teachers made us a colour die to put on the background of our drawing. Once we had done that we started to colour in our drawing but we had to colour in very brightly so that it can be very bright. Now we are finally finished and the students who finished their portraits the other students had to guess which decade it was from.
Hope you enjoyed it!! Blog you later!!!

Cybersmart

        Cybersmart Welcome bloggers. In week 3 Te Waka Ako had someone who came to teach s about cybersmart. The person who came to was going to teach us about our Chromebooks was Mr. Margets. Mr. Margets used to come to our school every Friday because he was a student teacher to help us with our blogs. So when Mr. Margets came in and he showed us a slide with what we should do with our Chromebook and showed us how to keep our Chromebooks safe. Before we started he showed us this new game called qizziz. This game called qizziz was a game where you have to see if you know how to look after you own Chromebook. So some people got 2 or 3 wrong and some people got 8 or 9 wrong but that was okay. So after we all played the game we started to do our cybersmart. So what we did for Cybersmart was we had to make a copy of this slide which was called what is the right place to be on during school and we had to right why it was the right place to be on. So one of the place you should be on was you own school site because this school site is where what you do when you are in you reading, writing and math and all of the other school stuff. After that he said goodbye because he had to go to another school. Hope you enjoyed it Blog you later!!!
