Quality Blog Comment

Today, We explored what  were quality blog comments  comments . We looked at  different ones and looked at them to see if they had a greeting,positive , specific reply to the author’s comment. They also had a thoughtful and helpful comment too. Having a buddy also helps  when we discuss what we are learning about. one skill we used was moving  the labels  and flipping them too

Our Whanau

This term, we have been looking at our whanau and that there is one family for everyone in the world. Everyone’s family is unique and special. We have been learning and discussing Reuben Paterson.  Reuben Paterson is an artist. Reuben Paterson always puts glitter in his art work at the end. He inspired the world. And that’s why everyone is unique and special. I drew my family using the koru symbol. I coloured it with wax crayons. Then I dyed over the picture and my background is red

Today, we learnt how to add a helpful and thoughtful comment to a blog post reply. A helpful tip is to have a buddy  read and listen to our comments. some skills we used Today, were arrange and insert.

St Mary’s School

Today I learnt how to use Google maps to find my buddy school and learnt how to resize my canvas on Google draw. I learnt that St Mary’s has a basketball court. I also learnt that St Mary’s is next to a gas station.  And next to its Catholic Church. My tip is to move your fingers slowly across the touch pad when zooming in or out.

My Matariki kite

Matariki is on Friday, 20 June this year.  We are making Matariki kites. We are using paper bags. It sounds easy but in reality it was hard folding and cutting eight lines. Before painting we were doing outlines with pencils of Maori designs. We painted them red, white and black. Then the other half we had five choices  of paint –  the colours were purple, yellow, blue, green. I chose yellow. I think that we can soon fly our kites. 

 

We learned how to do a plait with three pieces of twine. We are all happy with our kites. Finally we braided three colours of twine to make the tail. Then Mrs Yumal glue gunned a feather and some fern branches onto the bottom. I really love my kite.
