We are learning to teach people what the maori words for different colours are. We had to create a google slide and do something that will teach someone what the colours are in maori.

I found it easy to think of the idea of putting coloured squares on the slide and writing in them.

I found it hard to remember the maori names of some colours.

Next time I will make my squares more tidier.

My Postcard

 

We are learning to know when something is a scam. I know that if there is https at that start of a URL means the website is safe. That if you get email that makes you put in your email, password and other personnel stuff from a bank check/call your bank and see if they sent you the email and not a scammer and if you see advertisements like a free phone or free candy it's probably a scam.

I found it easy to create my background and to make my photo have no background.

I found it hard to write my story on my post card and to create my post card stamp.

Next time I will write more and make it detailed. Next time I will also put some more photos on the first slide.

10 Things That Make A Good Recount

Grace and I had to list 10 things that a quality recount needs this is what we thought:

• Paragraphs

• Punctuation

• Descriptive Words

• Facts

• Clear Spaces Between Our Words

• Full sentences

• Recent times

• Nouns

• Introduction

• Similes

Me and Grace wrote down five things each. I wrote Paragraphs, Full sentences, Recent times, Introduction and Similes.

I found it easy to write down the five things on the list.

I found it hard to think of the ideas.

Next time I will think of more detailed words to put in our list.

My goal for this term is to include all the stuff on our list into all the recounts I do.

Ways to encourage birds to our school grounds

We are learning how to encourage birds to come to our school grounds. We had to do a google drawing about how to get birds in our school grounds. I thought we could plant lots of kowhai trees, put a bird house in the trees so that it can feel comfortable in the tree, also put a bird feeder in the tree so the birds can eat and drink and put some traps so we can catch the threats and save the birds and we would put caution tape around the traps so little kids don't touch them.

I found it easy to make the trees because I only needed to do five things.

I found it hard to make the bird feeder because I had to put a lot of detail into it so it looks good.

Next time I will make my lines straighter and make the background more colourful.

New Zealand birds

We are learning to research NZ birds. We worked in our co-operative groups for morere hot springs and we had to go to a website that said lots of things about the birds. Everyone worked on a different slide. We had to find out information about What is a bird?, Endemic birds, Native birds and Introduced birds. I got to do the endemic birds with Cassidy. 

I found it easy to find information about endemic birds on the website and find images.

I found it hard to polyline my own bird and to write the facts in my own words.

Next time I will  put a better background so it's easier to  read the text without the white behind it.
