Kensuke's Kingdom, By Michael Morpurgo

In my class, we have been reading a book called Kensuke's Kingdom. This book is written by Michael Morpurgo and illustrated by Michael Foreman. When we finished the book we had to do a book review and video ourselves telling you a bit about the book, its strengths and weaknesses and who would enjoy this book. Thank you for watching this 😄🤍

Forces And Motion - A Day Of Learning

 Last week, on Wednesday, we had a force and motion day - Topana and neke. On this day we learnt new things about force and motion. The day involved the whole school rotating around different classrooms and doing different learning activities. Each group got to complete three out of eight activities.

After that we created DLOs about the three actives that we completed and what we learnt from them. My DLO is embedded down below. 

I tried hard on force and motion day to complete all of the activities. I found the Lego activities challenging because it was my first time using the Lego and we had to make a Ferris wheel. If I was to do this again I would make sure I took a photos of the  activities to use in my slide show Thanks for reading my blog post, I would really like if you left me a positive, thoughtful, and helpful comment.

Digital Technology Matariki project_blue bots and QR codes

For matariki we learnt about the stars. We made a special bluebot mat. On the mat we has QR codes and when you scanned them you learnt about the stars. The kids had to code the bluebots to get to the QR codes. We learnt that there are nines stars in the cluster and that each star has its own name and something that is connected to like the sea or weather.
