Hi lately in Te Ngahere we have been learning about smart relations on the internet. We are learning about how to be smart in our online relationships and to seek help when we need it. What I will do in the future now is not talk to strangers and not share personal information to make sure I am safe. We were learning about this to be safe online and to learn what is good to share and not good to share online.
Have you ever learned about this before?
Hi lately in Te Ngahere we have been doing something called, If I Were. our WALT or what we are learning to do was to use words from the text and what we already know to come to a conclusion about what the author is describing. What we had to do for this was guess what a poem was talking about using our knowledge and what the poem says.For example the poem would say If I were a, I would range over farms, plains,houses, cities and seas then we would have to write what we think the poem is describing. What I found hard was finding out what it was because in the poem it says black billowing skirts and I didn’t know what that meant. What I found easy was after I found out what it was I found it easy to explain why.

Kia Ora lately in Te Ngahere we have been learning how to use the tools on google drawing. We were learning this so we had more creative ways to make DLOs. We had to draw marine life like sharks, fish or even stingrays. I drew two sharks some fish and a stingray I want to draw a jellyfish. What I think that I did well was drawing the fish. What I found hard was getting the right shape for the fish.

HI bloggers in Te Ngahere we have been doing P.E. rotations with Te Maunga. For P.E. rotations we have been doing touch with Mr Ngata, soccer with Whaea Penny and Gina, netball with Whaea Chrissy and Whaea Ronnie and skill games with Whaea Becks. For the first rotation I did touch. For touch Mr Ngata was teaching us how to pass the ball properly he also taught us a couple of the rules. In the end we had a couple quick games of touch. The fields were pretty small but that wasn’t bad. What I think that I did was passing the ball and following the directions. What I could have done better is talking with teammates when we played the game.
Have you ever played touch before?
Kia Ora yesterday(04/05/21) we went to tech but this time I wasn’t doing cooking with Whaea Dot, I was doing woodwork with Mr E/Mr Edwards. With Mr E we are making a waka out of wood. Mr E walked around the workshop and explained a bit about all the tools that we could use. What I think that I did well was drawing the outline of the waka because I finished on the second try and I think I am good at drawing. What I could have done better is cutting out the waka because I cut it out very bad.
Have you made a waka out of wood before?
On the first day back at school we did a reading test. Whaea Becks gave us all a sheet of paper that had 23 directions on it. We had to follow all the directions that were on the sheet of paper.
The first direction was, read everything carefully before doing anything. I didn’t read all the directions because I thought you had to read a direction then follow it. If I had read the whole thing first I would have realized I only needed to do the directions 1 & 2 then quietly draw on the back of the paper. I got to the 19th direction then Whaea Becks called us all down to the mat and then I realized if I followed the first direction I would have read the last direction which said: “now that you have finished reading everything do directions one and two then quietly draw on the back of this paper”. What I could have done better is follow all the directions or follow the success criteria. What I think that I did well was following all the directions expect the first one.
Can you follow directions?
