Thank you KPMG.

Last week, we were writing a “Thank you Kat and KPMG” slideshow for them because of what we learned and what we liked about it. We really appreciated them for what they did for us. I really loved it.

The reason why we wrote this is because they prepared the Whanau fun day, Christmas presents, and alot more and last year. All of us wrote a slideshow about thanking them.

It was so fun doing this because I almost had the same design as my classmate next to me; But we really really like KPMG and we love them so much.

 

Thirst D.L.O

Today me and my group Kererū have been reading this book called “Thirst”. Sadly we haven’t finished it so we were posting it today.  We read all the paragraphs from the story, and I’ve learnt that the children can’t waste water because their  dad will get mad at them. It was like they lived in a poor household and far away. The children’s names were Ryder and Brooke. On the second paragraph, There’s a short story That I wrote about them.

In the story, Ryder hauled himself in the hill, His uniform sticking to his skin. The hot sun was doing its best to get him back down the slope. Him and his sister, Brooke were walking down the shade of water cultivators. It was a long time since their sails had caught anything but sunlight and dust. Which means nothing. In their driveway, He paused. He looked up at the worn out trees where he’d tied his collection of tiny cans. There’s alot of stuff happening in the story and I can’t fit in my blog. I might get in trouble.

Deep inside, I feel bad for them because of what theyre doing. I know it’s just a story but you know what I mean? If you feel bad for them too,  I can relate. But this is all my blog is about, A digital  learning object.

I hope you like my post, Especially the paragraphs I’ve made so far. Ask me what you liked, Give me a suggestion, Tell me what you liked! 🙂 I hope you have a good day reading this <3.

How I go to school.

Today we had to write about how we go to school. We had to use directions and how we actually prepare when waking up. It’s actually fun going to school in my opinion.

You know why? because we can play, learn and get to know people there in our school. we can ride bikes if we have our time, we can have sports too if it’s our turn.

In my writing, it’s kinda messy for me to explain because I haven’t learn proper English and I’m still learning. Feel free to correct but yeah! I appreciate comments on my post. 🙂

Check me out!

today we had to write a “Check me out!” Matua Aina made on our class site Cybersmart, This was fun to do, do you know why? its like a pepeha introducing ourselves and our fun facts that people had to know. It’s also like information about you that others can check for fun.

I’m gonna tell you a fact, Did you know sharing your online privacy gives you more people who can access your personal space, Like hackers and stuff they can know. Like knowing where you live, your phone number and your email, passwords. Im telling you this Incase you might reveal it to someone online so stay safe out there!

Learn Te reo maori

Today we had to write about “Should we still learn Te reo maori in our curriculum?”. because some of us needed to learn Maori and the reason is some people who are different from us are Asian and European. They can learn abouut New Zealand s history through-out the years. We should be able to learn Te reo maori because our waita has Te reo maori words.

David Seymour is a New Zealand politician who has been the leader of “Association of Consumers and Taxpayers.” since 2014, He currently serves as the 1st minister for Regulation in the Sixth national Government under Christoper Luxon. David Seymour is a minister of regulation  of New Zealand. He thinks that while learning Te Reo Māori is important, it shouldn’t be forced on everyone. He believes people should have the choice to learn it if they want to, but he’s not sure if the government should make it a requirement in schools. So, basically, he wants people to decide for themselves if they want to learn the language or not.

Commenting in my blog post and liking them is an appreciation and kindly respecting, I would be happy about it. Thank you for reading my blog or learning something important about it.

Raa Whakanuia

Kia ora, today we had to write, “Should Raa Whakanuia be this Wednesday?” because we didn’t get to celebrate it last Friday. We want to make sure everyone can join in and have a great time. We hope moving it to Wednesday works better for everyone but we didn’t make a good choice yesterday.

Do you know what Raa whakanuia means? Raa Whakanuia is important because it allows us to celebrate our achievements and reflect on the progress we’ve made. It’s a time to recognize hard work and dedication in our community. During this celebration, we come together to share stories of success and support each other. By acknowledging our accomplishments, we inspire each other to keep striving for even greater things and build a stronger, united community!

Me receiving comments and likes on my blog is exciting because it means people are engaging with my learning and enjoying what I write. When others interact with my posts, it motivates me to keep writing and sharing more. Positive feedback helps me understand what my readers like and what I can improve. It also builds my confidence and encourages me to continue learning and growing through my writing. this also helps me upgrade my writing!

 

Should every house needs a dog?

Yesterday we did a work with Ben and its about dogs. It was fun because we told everyone our opinion because there was option, the other option was “why every house should not have a dog.” and there was 9 people. it was kind of interesting.

We had to convince Ben which side he was gonna be in because it was hard. our work had 3-5 paragraphs. Ben only printed 2 because we didn’t share it to him because we forgot.

Persuasive Writing

Today we did a persuasive writing about “are students allowed to listen to music during class”, 9 people in my class said yes and 8 of us said no because we said our reasons and Whaea Lorraine and Ben was surprised about our work and how some of us had 5-6 paragraphs.

Some people in my class said yes because they told us it can entertain and make us focus on our work, but I believe that’s wrong because when they listen to music they get distracted and start singing the lyrics and that’s how they get in trouble.

These are some of the writing I did about “Are students allowed to listen to music during class” , I had a lot of reasons because Ben and Whaea Lorraine told us how we were gonna convince them.

 

 

 

Papakura Marae

Yesterday we went to the Papakura Marae. and what I learned there is how people make the fried bread and we went to the kitchen, they taught us how you can put butter and honey inside of it after its cooked, we also did that uku puoro and we had to put a little bit on water on it to shape it.

We had to be in groups and my groups name was Pukekiwiriki. we had a lot of people to be with, the words we learnt was Paraoa parai, Mau  rakau, Te ngira and much more. each of the teams had to do 3 task. first one was we went to  the kitchen and we started to put flour on the bread and putted a apron, after doing that we went to the tables and there was dough.

After that we had enjoyed what we did and it was fun because of the uku puoro which means clay fluet, Please let me know what you like about my blog and give me a feedback! That’s all, have a nice day!

Goal Setting

We are learning about the importance of setting goals and aiming for them. Goal setting teaches us to be resilient and to dream. It also inspires other people to set their goal and try to make it count. it helps us try to show our work efforts, making some of us do it and show integrity and Whanaungatanga to everyone.

Attending makes your goal important because you miss some of the activities, but attending school makes you achieve your goals because you can earn your certificates, medals and much more. It’s also fun learning for me!

An example of goal setting is the process of taking active steps to achieve your desired outcome.
