That was year six

 

On Tuesday we were writing about what happened in year six and if you remembered them.  It took a while because I couldn't think of anything of what we did because my memory sucks.  The learning asset was kaikorero and I don't like writing so it was harder.

I found it easy to do that ones where we did the activities in the past days or the coolest ones.

I found it hard when I forgot most things and I had to remember some

Trip to the Museum

    We were learning about things from many years ago like when moa existed and barley any houses existed.  We started on a bus heading to the museum then we all walked in a room with lots of stuff everywhere like a bird hanging from a string and native birds from New Zealand. 

 All of us did a scavenger hunt we had to find a spinner, boat and one more thing in one of the main rooms.  Then we had to go in another room and and find two more things a hoe and I forgot the other name but it was made out of dog skin and that's very sad. 

 Then we looked at a bunch of art pieces to get an idea of what we could paint after that we traveled back to the room we started in.  The lady tells us to grab a sponge and a piece of paper grabbed a pencil and I drew a big cloud with a river below the cloud.  I had to draw pretty hard but not so hard that the sponge rips.  After I drew the cloud and river I painted over the drawing I used the color blue.  I used a brush to paint on the sponge after I did that I grabbed a roller and flipped the sponge on the paper and rolled of the back of the sponge,  and when I flipped the sponge over I could see the image on the paper it was kind of messed up but it worked.  We all had to get back on the bus and head back to school.

I enjoyed it but I have been to the museum a ton of times so nothing new except for the room we went in.

I found it easy to find everything but there was one thing that was a bit challenging to find one thing that was the spinner.

The Arts

We were learning about The Arts and what you see or do.  I was using my Whaiwhakaaro learning asset and thinking what was in that specific topic like dancing was hard because we had name dances or what you do but I only had moves for dancing that's not a dance move.  We also had to think what art is but I didn't know exactly what art was so I just guessed it.

I found it easy with the music one because we do things at school like choir, guitar, recorder and also singers and piano.

I found it hard with dancing and visual art and kind of drama dancing I couldn't remember any dances and what they were called.  Visual art was hard but I knew like art and then I got help because I didn't know anything else.  Drama was easyish but still couldn't think of anything my friend helped me on 3 and those were comedy, shows and plays.

I enjoyed this activity because I like some of these topics like drama or music or visual art.  I don't really like dancing but sometimes I do.  It was also fun figuring stuff out like thinking for the idea and I think dancing was the hardest because you  have to name dances but I don't really know any dance names.

Next time I need to maybe stay on time because I could've finished earlier but I kept on getting distracted and had to write on it 3 times but could've done it more but also I didn't have any ideas of some things.

 

Atua

 

I was learning to find pictures write the maori then the english version.  We had to copy the picture of the atua then put it on a slide and photos that represent the atua then record the maori and english version.

I found it hard to find the meaning in english but since some of the maori words like te and o.

I enjoyed doing the recordings and because sometimes I messed up and laughed.  Pronouncing the names are hard and the maori version.  

Next time I need to stay focused instead of taking forever to publish it to my blog.

The Koru

 

I was learning to look at korus and describe what they look like also learning to do many things in maori like games and words and also atua.  Using our Kaiwhakarite Self manager stay organized and manage my time effectively.

I found it easy to look at a maori pattern especially when it was a swirly pattern and swirly patterns are easy to describe.

I found it hard write and add adjectives and similes in the piece of writing.

I enjoyed writing about korus because swirly shapes are easy to write about and I like easy things.

Next time I need to add my name at the bottom and I also to manage my time effectively.

Winter Wind

 

I was learning about Winter and I could choose from 3 things snow, wind or rain I choose wind.  

We were also trying to add adjectives and similes and nouns etc.   It was a piece of writing using Kaiwhakarite (stay organized and manage my time effectively).

I found it easy to write about wind because wind is easy to know what happens because tornados and more also flipping cars when strong wind hits.

I found it hard to at similes and adjectives but I managed to find some to make my writing better than before.

I enjoyed writing about Winter because Winter is a season where most people find it hard to keep warm and also Winter has harder winds than most seasons.

Next time I need to add more reread my writing to make sure it makes sense.

What makes a good blog comment?

 

We are learning to recognise a quality blog comment and give reasons for our thinking.  Our learning assets were Kaiwhakarite, Mahi Tahi and Whaiwhakaaro. I am doing this fun activity with Brodie heres his blog: https://mk20brodieh.blogspot.com/ . I am also learning so say positive blog comments on other peoples blogs and look at posts to see if they are good or not.  We put dislikes and like images over the good or bad blog comments.

I found to easy to like/dislike some of them because you can easily tell that the blog comment is a good/bad blog comment.

I found it hard to find a good or bad comment because some looked like they would be a good blog comment because they look like it's part of the post that the owner posted.

I really enjoyed this activity because we had some laughs and found some of the comments funny also making some funny jokes.

Next time I need to use one of my learning assets which is: Kaiwhakarite and the one on their is Stay organized and manage my time effectively.
