NEWS!

Sharp is a group activity that we attend once a week to learn to think accurately while reading that is run by the teacher. During sharp we unpack sentences and read stories with a group of students at our level. By doing this weekly we improve our level of reading because we begin to deeply understand the texts.

After sharp, my classmates and I were set two tasks to do around the story we read. This task was to create a news interview; interviewing 2 people who attend the school in the story we read. To achieve this task I used wevideo. First I recorded the clips; then I edited them together.

Who would you like to be in this story?

Can You Get These Right?

 Today in class during manaiakalani, we were challenged to share our maths in a way we wanted. Choosing to code a game, I came across a challenge. It was nobody could complete my game because the questions were to hard. To fix this I just came up with easy questions. 

I created it using scratch. When you search ''scratch'' on google click the first link, then follow the instructions and you can make your own game. The hard thing was remembering which codes to place so then the story would work. Though I found it easy to make up questions to use.

I hope you win!

My Pepha

 In class during manaiakalani today, we learnt our pepha. A pepha is a piece that show who you are. Showing your ancestry, where you came from and how you get to where you are now, and your surroundings. Personally, I have known mine of by heart because I had to learn mine in primary school. Do you know yours?

I created this screencastify on Tour Builder to present it in a interesting way. I also made a hard copy on Poster My Wall. Though I struggled to spell all of the maori words; I found it easy to present it in interesting and different ways then the original idea. I hope you can learn more about me through this post.
